The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 158: Zahn’s Request

Hunter

“Whoa! **n Sophie. Could you set the bar a little lower? I have to up my game back home,” Allison teases.

“I doubt that, my love. I’m quite sure the entire pack would rally behind you if someone threatened you,” Kayce assures her.

“I don’t know…” she says, but Kayce pulls her to him, kissing the top of her head.

“I do.”

Nikki turns to Robin.

“Absolutely,” he says, answering her unasked question. “The pack would support and protect you in an instant. It’s the only thing that helps me to sleep at night with Camden still out there.”

“He’ll never take me from you,” she purrs at him.

“I’ll kill him if he tries,” he growls.

“So, Jocelyn is settled for the night?” I ask Sophie.

“She is. I think she’ll enjoy the peacefulness here and Allison is going to help us get the garden started before they head back home,” she says.

“I guess I know what we’re doing tomorrow,” Kayce says drolly.

Allison smacks his arm good-naturedly. “We can do it, Kayce.”

“You’re pregnant, Allison. You’re not going to be shoveling dirt and moving heavy plots of grass. We can help,” he says, grabbing her hand and kissing it.

I look at Sophie, raising an eyebrow. I don’t want her digging holes in her condition either.
