The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 114: Hell's Angel Sophie

I've never felt rage, anger, and most of all protectiveness, like I feel right now. These people have come into my pack, my home, and are trying to take my family, my life from me. If I could shift, Hedda would have ripped these a**holes to shreds.

Since I can't, Kinsley and I have been fighting hard. She's a good, strong fighter, and a great Beta. We've both been fighting the G**as that comes after me, but the Beta is the problem. I'm so thankful for those couple of sessions where Hunter had the other warriors attack us while we were fighting. If he hadn't, I'm sure the Beta would have gotten to me by now.

I'm doing well until I feel the bond to one of my pack members, one of the women fighting inside the packhouse, snap. She's gone and that moment of distraction is all the Beta needs to grab me and begin ripping me away from Kinsley. At the same time, I see that one of the safe rooms is about to be breached and I scream for my mate in the mind link. "HUNTER!"

I hear Kinsley scream my name, but I'm fighting this a***hole who thinks he can drag me to his Alpha, take me away from my Alpha, my mate, so I can be forced into a mate bond with a man I would never choose to be mine. There's no way I'm letting that happen.

A shot rings out through the packhouse, and I turn briefly to see

Brooklyn standing in the opening of the safe room, her smoking gun in hand. She looks like a fierce avenging angel standing there, especially when she challenges the G***a to come for her. He makes the mistake of doing it.

The Beta growls, yanking me again to get moving. I slash at him, adding to the multiple g*s l'**e already given him, but it's the bullet to his shoulder that makes him jerk and finally stop. He looks at his shoulder, then at Brooklyn as if he can't believe she shot him. But now it's my turn to take advantage of his distraction.

Hedda snarls, and with all my remaining strength, I pull my arms back and slam my claws into the Beta's midsection. I have the satisfaction of watching his eyes go wide in shock as he looks down at me. "No one will ever take me away from my mate," I snarl before ripping his insides out. Hot blood splatters all over me, mixing with my own. I've sustained several injuries, but none were meant to kill me. Hunter was right, Joshua wanted me for himself.

"KINSLEY!" I hear Lucas shout as he races past me to catch her before her head hits the floor. Her stomach has been ripped open and I see Brooklyn push her way out of the safe room opening and begin shouting orders to those around her so she can begin sewing Kinsley up.

"Women in the packhouse! Protect your Beta! Protect Brooklyn! Protect the breached safe room!" I shout into the room. The fighting is starting to die down, but there are still attacking wolves in here. Chapter 114: Hell's Angel

I stand guard in front of Kinsley, shutting out Lucas' pleas for Kinsley to stay alive. I need to focus on protecting her. I hear a scuffle right outside the packhouse and I stand, ready to fight, my claws extended, my feet spread wide, daring whoever enters to come after one of my family.

Instead of an attacking wolf, it's Shaw, still holding the throat of the wolf he just killed in his mouth. When he sees me, he drops it and shifts, watching me closely I'm not sure what he sees on my face, but through the bond I feel shock, pride, love, and desire.

"Sophie."

"Is it done?" I ask him, my voice coming out in a growl.

He looks down at the eviscerated Beta at my feet.

"Joshua is dead. There's still fighting, but I came when you called," he says, snarling and slicking through an attacking wolf that comes too close to me.
