The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 153: Zahn’s Hostility

Hunter

I watch as Zahn gets himself under control while Sophie, Nikki, Allison, and Kinsley walk away with Jocelyn.

He turns and glares at me. “I didn’t think you were serious about letting her keep me from my mate.”

“You asked for our help. You’re getting it. Not only was I serious about letting Sophie do this her way, but I was also serious. about keeping you under 24-hour surveillance,” I say as Brutus and William, another large warrior, walk up. “Sophie is in charge of your mate now. She gets to say if and when you see Jocelyn. Since it doesn’t look like Jocelyn wants to see you, I’d suggest that you get settled in. I hope you brought your computer with you so you can get some work done.”

“How is she supposed to fix my mate bond if we aren’t together?” he growls.

“Neither of us ever said we were going to fix your mate bond, Alpha Zahn. We said we would try to help you and right now, the person who needs help, is Jocelyn. If you don’t like it, you’re welcome to leave.”

“I’m not leaving without my mate,” he growls,

“Then I guess you’d better get settled in like Hunter suggested,” Kayce says.

“What are you two doing here anyway?” he growls at them.

“Visiting friends. You should try it sometime, if you have any, that is,” Robin says, taunting him.

“Let’s get one thing straight, Alpha Zahn. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust your motives for being here. But my mate wants to try and help yours, so you’re here. That can change at any time. If you truly want to help your mate, which is what you said you wanted, then I suggest you let Sophie work her magic. That doesn’t mean that Jocelyn will ever accept you as her mate, but it does mean that your mate will heal, physically and mentally. What happens after that is still unknown,” I say, standing my ground against Zahn. I guess he really had no idea how much Sophie’s decisions matter in this pack. Obviously, he’s not given Jocelyn any ability to make her own decisions while she’s been with him.

“Don’t even think about trying to keep my mate from me. I came here in good faith, for your assistance. Not so you could steal my mate.”

“I have a mate. I don’t need yours,” I say.

“And let’s be honest, Alpha Zahn, it’s not like Luna Jocelyn is exactly trying to stay with you. You need Hunter’s help because your ways aren’t working. Why don’t you try accepting his way, Sophie’s way, before you started acting all high and mighty about your first fifteen minutes in this pack. We all saw your mate’s disdain for you. If you’d have bothered to pay attention, you would have realized that you didn’t see any of that from our mates,” Lucas says.
