The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 111: Battle Part I Hunter

The minute the howls of alarm go up, I'm leaping out of bed. I quickly rush back, grabbing Sophie and kissing her hard.

"Stay alive!" I growl, racing for the door. She knows to call Carter and Kayce, so I can focus on fighting.

"You do the same!" She yells as I leap over the banister of the stairwell, barely missing Lucas as the two of us shift on our way to the ground. Shaw and Dario land side by side as everywhere around us men and women are leaping and shifting. From the guest quarters, I see Ezra's wolf, Thorin, and Margot, still in human form running beside him. I'm guessing he told her to stay close.

I hear the sounds of battle ahead of us and Lucas and I race into the fray, barreling through the warriors, ripping Joshua's pack members off of ours as we go. Joshua is my target. That's who I want because I know that Sophie is his target. He will be Ezra's target too, because of Margot, but I won't leave s life in another's hands, even another Alpha's.
