The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 130: Amelia's Agreement Hunter

The information that Jaime had for me was interesting, but not totally unexpected. I knew Koden was still out there, I knew Aiden was still out there, and Alaric is as well, for the time being.

The biggest question I have is the timing. It's a bit too convenient that I hear about the three remaining Alphas wanting to gather their forces and attack, at the same time that Alpha Zahn, who made a point of not participating in the war, wants to come 'visit' my pack.

"What are you thinking, Hunter?" Sophie asks. She's still in my lap and I realize that as I've been thinking, my hands have been protectively rubbing over her stomach, shifting to the spots where I can feel my pup. I love feeling my son moving around, but it's making my need to protect become much stronger and I'm afraid Sophie is going to find me suffocating soon.

"Alpha Zahn," I say, still deep in thought.

"It's very convenient, isn't it?" she asks, bringing my attention to her. I'm still not used to having a partner in my life. I went so long without Sophie, trying to work things out on my own that it still takes me by surprise when she gets where my thoughts are going without me having to tell her.

I focus my attention on her, kissing her deeply for always ûnderstanding me. It's a heady feeling to know that the person you love most in the world gets you.

"Yes, it's too convenient," I confirm when I pull back. "Why now? Why did he wait until now to reach out? He has to know that the others are trying to pull their forces to come at us again." "Do you think he's trying to get inside information? Trying to find our weaknesses?" she asks.

"He could be and using the guise of wanting to help his mate would be a good entry into our pack. I don't know Zahn very well, but I don't remember thinking he wasn't s**d like Owen, which means this could be an intentional invasion of our pack to gain intelligence for an attack.

"Why don't we ask him?" Sophie asks.

Mlook at her and frown. "Do you think he'll tell us if that's his plan?"

"No, but he doesn't know that we know about it, does he? If you confront him, his response may tell us what we need to know. And sadly, it would mean that he really doesn't care about his mate, and that she is disposable.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

She shrugs. "The best time for the others to attack would be when Zahn is here, when he's able to help them gain access, right? He said he wants to stay as long as necessary, which could mean he wants to gain our trust so he can get that intel."

I think through what Sophie said. Zahn's request had been

strange to begin with, but now, if I add this part in, it all makes sense, which p**s me off.

thought that HER mate would never have put her in the position that Amelia is in, and she's right. Calvin screwed up, and I'm still shocked at how much of a mess he made by speaking without thinking. He obviously never put his mate ahead of himself or his pack. If he had, he would be sitting with his mate in his lap right now, just as I am, rather than living hours away from her.
