The One He Claimed by Cooper

I come awake slowly, feeling warm and comfortable, my mate's pine scent filling my nose.

I shift, stretching to work out the kinks in my body.

"Mmm, good morning," Hunter's sleepy voice says from behind. me, as he buries his face into my hair, kissing the crook of my neck just behind my mate mark. It sends shivers through my body, just as his deep, husky voice does.

He tugs me against him, and I feel his arousal pressing against my bottom and back.

"How are you feeling?" he asks.

"Stiff, but well-rested."

He chuckles behind me. "You should be, you slept nearly a day and a half."

"What?" I ask sitting up quickly.

"Baby, you were exhausted. You and Kinsley did everything to get this pack in order while Lucas and I slept. It seemed only fair that you get to sleep it off. And before you start arguing that you didn't fight any battles, you are carrying my pup and that along with the stress of the battle and aftermath is enough to drain anyone's energy," he says, pulling me back down and curling his large frame around me. 0.00%

"Why's that?"

"She was incredible sewing up the warriors after the battle. They've all complimented her and for whatever reason, they've all sort of rallied behind her. They cleaned up her house, removed her father's body, fixed her door, washed the inside so the blood is gone. No one asked them to do it, they did it on. their own. I even heard that one of our female warriors offered to teach Brooklyn to fight if she wanted to." "Good for her! I'll check in with her, find out her feelings about being a part of Owen's execution, and I'll also check out this Dr. Caspian. What about Leah and the other mates?" "We lost one of the mates. She was older, her pups grown. Brooklyn took it hard. You

apparently tasked her with checking on them and she took that to mean that it was her job to keep them alive. I feel like the others are alive just because of her. She's a lot stronger than she comes across." "That which doesn't kill you..." I say.

"I think she was strong before this. I think Michael just kept her and Leah under his thumb. It will be interesting now to see what happens with them."

"Has she regained her wolf?" I ask.

"Not yet. Even if they don't, I have no intention of rejecting them from the pack," Hunter says, making me smile.
