The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 163: Guards for Jocelyn

Hunter

I had a feeling that Jocelyn wasn’t going to want Zahn in her recovery room when she returned, and I was right. I also had a feeling he wasn’t going to leave just because he was asked to, so I made sure that the warriors were nearby to escort him if he gave me any problems. I know it hasn’t been long, but Jocelyn seems to already be responding to the calm that Sophie brings to this pack, and I don’t want Zahn’s negative energy interfering with her recovery.

She’s not even through the door when Zahn jumps up and begins asking her what Dr. Caspian told her.

The smile I saw on her face as she was coming in the door drops away.

“Zahn!” I say, but he remains focused on Jocelyn. “Alpha Zahn,” I growl, getting his attention.

He looks up at me, and I can see that he’s getting tired already of being told how to interact with his mate. “Back off. She’s not even in the door yet and you’re already overwhelming her. Back. Off!” I growl when he glares at me.

My warriors come in right behind Jocelyn and Sophie, moving to put themselves between my mate and Zahn.

“I don’t think it’s too much to ask what they found,” he snaps, putting up his hands and stepping back as my warriors crowd him.

“The surgery was successful, but need to heal. I’d like for you to leave now, Zahn,” Jocelyn says, “Jocelyn!” he says, looking at her as if he can’t believe she’s kicking him out.

“Your presence, whether you mean for it to be or not, is very overwhelming, Alpha Zahn. That is not a conducive environment for someone to recover in,” Sophie tells him kindly, She’s being a lot nicer than I am, or than my warriors will be.

“You heard her Zahn, and you know the rules,” I say, stepping up to my warriors and putting myself between Zahn, Sophie, and Jocelyn.

“This is f**g ridiculous!” he yells. “She’s my mate!”

“Not by choice,” Jocelyn’s soft voice says from behind me.

“Jocelyn, we’re here to try and fix that, fix things between us,” he pleads.

You do not get to make the decisions. If you don’t like it, leave. If you intend to stay, get your s***t together because the next time you growl or snarl at my mate, I’ll take your head off.
