The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 84: Safe Rooms

Sophie

When the howls of attack go up, Hunter and I jump out of bed.

"Call your father and Kayce, and take care of my mate," he says, pulling me to him and kissing me fiercely before racing out of the room and leaping off the stairwell, shifting on his way down to the first floor. I grabbed one of Hunter's shirts and my phone as I begin racing down the stairs meeting up with Kinsley as we watch wolves rushing out of the packhouse from every direction.

I dial my father's number.

"Sweetheart is everything okay?" he answers.

"We're under attack, Dad. Koden," I say and immediately hear my father's howl go up, waking up his pack.

"We're on our way. Get safe, Sophie."

"To the safe rooms!" I yell over the chaos on the first floor. I grab Kinsley. "Be careful!" I say before racing off. She and I had decided to take separate safe rooms to help facilitate everyone getting into their assigned rooms

As I run, I dial Alpha Kayce.

"Yeah," he answers sleepily.

"Alpha Kayce, this is Luna Sophie We're under attack.

"Joshua?" he asks, instantly alert I can hear him moving around, Allison's voice asking what's going on in the background. "Koden."

"We're on our way," he says, and I hear his howl go up a moment before the phone disconnects.

"What can I do? I can't shift yet," Margot asks, rushing up.

"Help me get these people inside their safe rooms. Can you take lead in one, make sure everyone stays calm."

"Of course!" she says, rushing toward another safe room and helping the people get safely into their room.

'Status check, Soph,' Hunter says I can hear Shaw snarling in our mind as well. He's already fighting. 'Almost there,' I say, looking around.

'Move faster. I need you safe,' he says just as the mind link cuts off.

"DOOR ONE CLOSING!" I hear Kinsley announce.

"Margot, you're next," I say to her

"DOOR TWO CLOSING!" she announces as I hear Kinsley's door slam shut and lock.

"ANYONE ELSE?" I yell, looking around, as Margot's door slams shut and locks.
