Chapter 135: Helping Amelia Hunter

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised with Sophie's sadness about Margot leaving. My mate has the ability to develop strong bonds and friendships with others quickly. It's one of the reasons that I hope that Jaime will decide to stay in our pack, so that Penny will as well. I know that Sophie already has strong ties to her, and she'd be as sad or more so if Penny and Jaime left the pack.

"I'm going to call Amelia and set up a call for this afternoon. What are you going to do?" I ask my mate.

"I'm going to go check on the mates that are still in the hospital and see how Leah and Brooklyn are doing with moving out of their house."

"Let me know what you need. And let me know if I can do anything to take that sadness away, I don't like my mate to be sad. Margot will be fine, and we'll see her again."

She merely nods and I pull her into a hug, holding her tightly. My strong, powerful mate, who is also so sweet and gentle.

"I love you, Little Sophie Reynolds."

She chuckles, as I hoped she would.

"And I love you, Big Hunter Reynolds," she says, making me smile.

I crouch down in front of her, placing my lips near her stomach. "Take care of your mother while she's away from me," I say, then stand and kiss my mate before turning to go back inside. I make the call to Amelia first.

"Alpha Hunter? Or is it Sophie again?" she asks.

"It's me this time, Alpha," I answer.

"Have you spoken to Alpha Dutton, Alpha Hunter?"

"First things first, Alpha Amelia. Do you feel the need to continue with our titles when we speak to each other?" I'm asking her because she's the newest Alpha and because she's the only female Alpha. Her position isn't exactly confirmed in her pack.
