The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 80: Alpha Battle Hunter

I'm not sure if this group has just been a powder keg waiting to explode, or if me taking a stand on the public claiming and others following my lead has pushed this group over the edge, but an Alpha fight is never a good thing.

I saw Elias go for Sophie and rather than risk him hurting her, I used my body as a shield. Feeling his claws rake down my back did nothing but infuriate me and Shaw. He had extended his claws, swiping them down Elias' face and neck, attempting to rip his throat out for coming after Sophie.

We left him to bleed out, before turning back to the fight. Robin may have intended to go after Aiden, but Alaric attacked Nikki and he jumped into the fight with her. Kayce and Allison are fighting against Alaric and Aiden, but Dutton and Aiden have both shifted and their snarling and growling is shaking the walls of the room. There's barely any room for us in our human form. Adding two wolves is making it even more cramped in here, making it hard to fight and evade injury.

I see Sophie, Amelia, and Amy leave the room before Ezra leaps at Alpha Zahn. Carter and Calvin are double teaming Alpha Joshua. I turn to make sure Elias is still down, noticing that Owen is no longer in the pit.

I look all around, trying to find the weasel, before Alaric smashes into me. I jump up, leaping over him as Nikki goes for

his throat, Robin right behind her. Ezra is on his own against Zahn, so I move to help him, slicing my claws down Zahn's back.

The smell of blood is heavy in the air, and the snarls are so loud it's hard to hear anything above the noise. I see Alaric push back, away from Nikki and Robin, grabbing Aiden and standing his ground. "This isn't over," he snarls.

"Come for what's mine and I'll kill you," Dutton growls, having shifted back. He and Aiden both have bite and claw marks all

bleeding from multiple wounds where Carter and Calvin slashed at him. "You have no right," he snarls.

"We have every right," Kayce says, pushing Allison behind him. I can see that she's taken a swipe across the thigh and she's limping. Kayce is pretty b**dy too, but he's standing his ground, protecting his mate. "What you are doing is wrong. We will protect our mates and our packs."

"We will not stand by and allow you to hunt our she-wolves or claim warriors and omegas in public with the lies that you are taking them as your Lunas. It's time we made a stand and if you go against us, we will fight you to the death," I say.

Zahn steps back, joining forces with the other three. "So be it."
