The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 144: Planning a Visit Hunter

After getting home and greeting the pack, a pack that feels so different, so much stronger now that Sophie is here, I head to my office. I need to let Robin and Nikki know that her brother is dead.

"Alpha Hunter, to what do I owe the pleasure?" The way he purrs pleasure lets me know that Nikki is either in his lap or right there.

"Is your mate there? I need to speak to both of you," I say, my tone remaining serious.

It's quiet a moment and I hear the phone shift to speaker. "We're both here, Alpha Hunter. What's happened? Is Sophie okay?" Nikki asks.

"Yes, she's fine. I...I apologize in advance, Luna Nikki. I should have warned you before, but with everything going on...it's too late now, but I apologize. I've just returned from Amelia's pack. We attacked your brother's pack. He's dead."

There's a moment of silence.

"Good," she growls. "He was a worthless Alpha. He was still my brother, but, after what he did to Sophie and Alpha Amelia's parents, he got what he deserved" she says.

"We knew you were going to attack, Hunter. Sophie proclaimed it loudly when we were there for the funeral," Robin says.

"I know. I just should have let you know it was coming. For that I am sorry."

"Don't be. Tell me you got Camden too," Nikki says and Robin growls.

"No, he got away. There aren't many places for him to go now, so I assume he's making his way to Aiden's pack, which is where I'm assuming Koden is as well." "Why not Zahn's pack?" Robin asks and I tell them about his plans to bring his mate to our pack.

Robin whistles. "That's why you wanted Alaric out of the way so quickly."

"Exactly," I say, thankful that he understands without me having to explain.

"Rob," I hear Nikki say with lilting purr in her voice. This is

obviously how Nikki gets her way with her mate when she thinks he won't agree with her. I smile, wanting to see how this plays out.

"I'm desperately feeling the need to go visit my good friend, Sophie. Maybe in a week or so we could go visit her?" Nikki asks sweetly. I snort. I didn't have Nikki in my pack long, but I know that this sugary sweetness isn't her normal. Or perhaps it's a side of her that she reserves solely for Robin. The thought makes me miss Sophie and remember our intense love making earlier today.
