The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 151: Unexpected

Jocelyn

I’m so angry. So very angry that my life is what it is. Why couldn’ t I just die? Why is the Moon Goddess punishing me? What did I do that was so bad in my life that I deserved this?

Zahn didn’t give me a choice about going to this pack. Like I want everyone in the world to see how broken I am, how incompetent I am that even throwing myself off a cliff to get away from this man didn’t work. And yet, here I am.

When we arrive, I’ll admit, I’m a bit surprised to see that it’s not just the one Alpha and Luna, but several. And unlike most ranked couples that I’ve seen, none of these women seem fearful of their mates.

I was disappointed when I found out the legend, Sophie Meyers, the woman whose name I yelled when I jumped off the cliff, had been claimed by a mate. She’d been on the run for so long, had basically disappeared, that she’d almost become a martyr to those of us who were still on the run. I know I thought she was dead. But she had had the guts to do what the rest of us hadn’t. She’d run and taken the chance of living on her own. And the Alphas were never able to find her. Until Alpha Hunter did, apparently.

And she doesn’t even seem upset about it. If anything, she seems…happy. She’s not trying to hide the baby bump she’s sporting. Her Beta has one too, and so does one of the other Lunas.

Her Alpha surprised, me even more though. The vehemence of his response to me, his quick need to protect his mate, was beyond that of protecting his pup. I didn’t do anything to make him think I would hurt his pup. Hell, I didn’t do anything to make him think I’d hurt his Luna, and yet he dressed me down,

basically threatened to leave me to die in the woods, just for sneering at her.

I feel a bit smug that Zahn agreed to follow her rules thinking he wouldn’t have to, and now, her Alpha, Alpha Hunter, is insisting that he do it. Yet another f**ing shock. Alpha Hunter stood up for his Luna to me and to Zahn. He said that SHE gets to make the decisions. I don’t believe it. There’s no way that any Alpha would defer to his Luna for anything.
