The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 175

Chapter 176: New Alpha

Sophie

We didn’t get much sleep last night, but I can feel that Hunter is much calmer today, knowing that the battle is over and won. Over breakfast, he lets the other Alphas know that it’s done.

“What are your thoughts on having a trial for this one?” Ezra asks.

“Why would there be a trial?” I ask him. Margot is watching him intently.

He looks at Margot. “Here me out on this one. In your case, you ran. In Zahn’s case, he brought his mate to you, Hunter, and I’m sure he’s saying you’re keeping him from his mate,” Ezra says.

“That is true. Do you think I’m wrong for what I’ve done?” Hunter asks him.

“No, I don’t. But I think we can set a precedent right now to have true trials when one Alpha disagrees with another. If the roles were reversed, if he had Sophie and you attacked his pack…” Ezra begins but stops as Hunter snarls. The room goes quiet as I reach over to take Hunter’s hand.

“I’m perfectly safe, my love.”

“And you’ll stay that way,” he growls, tugging me to his side and wrapping a protective arm around me.

“I think Alpha Ezra has a point. Again, not that I in any way think that you are wrong Alpha Hunter, but I do believe we have an opportunity here. We will have a new Alpha, and we’ve talked about bringing the Lunas in to be part of Committee, although, we need to change the name, since it’s not solely going to be a Committee of Alphas any longer,” Nikki says.

“What are you thinking, baby?” Robin asks his mate.

“What if we have our new Alpha preside over the trial. It would be a good opportunity for him or her to get involved and to see what the rest of their tenure as Alpha will be like. But Zahn can’t say that there is any bias, as the new Alpha hasn’t been involved with any of this. Even if it is one of our Betas who wins the pack, they weren’t at the Committee meeting where Hunter and Sophie were on trial, they weren’t in the pack when Owen or Joshua attacked. It also gives us, the Lunas, an easy start to being in these trials, understanding how they run, when and how to ask questions, that sort of thing.”

“So, it’s not really a trial?” Dutton asks.
