The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 96: Execution Sophie

I'd like to say that I'm sad about having to watch an execution, but since it's Owen, and he threatened my pup, I'm not at all.

Hunter calls the pack together to witness Owen's execution. The man seriously needs to learn to shut his mouth, his very bruised mouth, cheek, swollen eye, and broken nose. The warriors have obviously been taking shots at him. Again, I probably should care, but Owen deserves what he gets and he's apparently not learning his lesson.

I'm standing beside Lucas and Kinsley. Hunter is in front of us, facing the pack as we wait for the warriors to drag Owen's sorry a**in front of him. He screams obscenities the entire way.

"Did you want that silver-soaked cloth, Alpha Hunter?" Alpha Ezra asks, making the crowd chuckle. I notice that he's standing close to, but not exactly beside Margot. She glances at him, and I see a smile twitch at her lips. Interesting. Hunter mentioned that they had sparred together this morning. I hope that's a good sign.

As I look over the pack, I see Brooklyn standing nearly in front of Hunter. She's put herself there so she can watch, her chin held high. On one side of her is her mother and the other is Dr. Caspian. She's holding hands with both of them, and I can see that her knuckles are white with the strain of being here, but she's standing tall, and her eyes are determined. I'm so proud of her I could cheer! 288 Mounter

Standing behind Leah is Brutus. The man is large by most standards, closer in size to an Alpha than a warrior. Behind Leah, he looks like a giant protector, watching over his charge, or in this case, his mate. Much like Ezra, he's been without his mate much longer than Leah has been without hers.

The warriors have created an arc around Brooklyn, as if lending her their strength and letting her know that Owen can't hurt her, that they stand with her and will fight for her.

"I'm not sure I've ever been prouder of our pack than I am right now," Kinsley says, looking over the pack as I am.

"We really have created something special here, haven't we?" I ask, reaching out to hold her hand as Owen is dragged in front of us, screaming obscenities.

"It's beautiful, or it will be once this ***ole is gone," she says, growling the last part.

The warriors toss Owen on the ground at Hunter's feet, then each take a stand on either side of him. Hunter doesn't even look at Owen, remaining steadfast with his hands clasped. casually behind his back, as

When Owen tries to stand, a warrior kicks him in his knee, snapping it and sending Owen back to the ground.
