The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 97: Requests Hunter

A sense of peace fell over the pack after Owen's execution. I could feel the pack's happiness that we had avenged one of our own, but more importantly to me, I felt Sophie's pride with me and our pack. I love feeling her pride in me, and I answered her feelings by taking her mouth in a dominant, passionate kiss.

When I finally pull back, we're both a mess, covered in Owen's blood and guts.

"We need to shower. Sorry, but I couldn't wait," I tell her.

"Neither could I," she says, and we stand their listening to the howls and cheers of our pack. I lean my forehead against hers, closing my eyes and just taking it all in. My pack has only grown stronger since I brought Sophie home.

When I finally pull away from her, I look around, seeing Lucas standing by and waiting for me.

"I'll take care of this mess, Alpha. You and Luna go get washed up," he says.

"I can help," Ezra says, walking up.

"Are you sure?" I ask him.

"I need something to do," he says.

"Don't you have two packs to run?" I ask him.

"How's that going?" I ask him, tucking Sophie under my arm.

"She hasn't rejected me yet," he says.

"She seemed...better after sparring with you this morning," I say.

"And let's be honest, she can't stop glancing at you, Alpha Ezra," Sophie says, smiling at him.

"There's a huge gap between looking at me and accepting me," he says.

"Keep plugging away at her. I would love for her to have a reason to live before Joshua attacks," Sophie says.

"What does that mean?" he asks concerned.

"She plans to let herself die when we kill him. She's asked me not to let that stop her," I tell him, making him growl.
