The One He Claimed

The One 64

Chapter 64: Pride Sophie I thought I would be more embarrassed by the jokes the warriors made about my bite marks and scratches that are all over Hunter and which he is proudly displaying. I didn’t exactly hide my bite marks, but I didn’t flaunt them either. However, rather than feeling embarrassed, I felt proud, possessive. This man is mine and everyone should know it. Although, maybe I need to be a bit quieter in the future. ‘Why? Everyone knows you’re mated. Everyone knows you’re pregnant with our mate’s pup. Who cares if they hear you. It’s not the same as being in front of them while it’s happening, is it?’ Hedda asks. I guess it isn’t. Maybe it’s the difference in the feeling of the pack members. Yes, they’re teasing Hunter about it, careful not to say anything to me, but it’s all in good fun. Rather than feeling sleazy or malicious, there’s a happiness in the pack. They like that Hunter and I are so close. It helps them to feel more confident and calmer as our pack members. I was thrilled to see Alpha Kayce and see that he was wearing Allison’s mark. I truly hope that they find the happiness that Hunter and I have found together “What are your plans, Kayce?” Hunter asks him, grabbing a plate and putting food on jt. I quickly realize that the plate is for me, based on my likes, not Hunter’s. Goddess, I love this man. Chapter 64: Pride “I want to leave today. I’ve been here too long already and with Aiden acting like an a** I don’t want Robin to have to face him alone if he decides to attack.” He glances behind us, and I turn, seeing Nikki coming in from training. “Also, I think Robin plans to come back here next week,” he says, smiling. “Make sure that he sees how happy you and your new Luna are, Alpha Kayce,” I tell him. He stops, his look becoming serious. “It’s so different. I really didn’t understand. I mean, I saw the two of you, I saw what you did in that committee meeting, but until I felt her emotions, so strong and powerful, so loving, so…happy with me for the choice that I made, I didn’t truly get. But do now. I

would never do anything to betray the trust that she has given me. Never. You have my support, one-hundred percent Hunter.” “Thank you, because I intend to petition the committee to change that law. It’s going to take a lot of pressure and we’ll get a lot of push-back, but it needs to change.” “Which law are we talking about? And nice mate mark, Alpha,” Nikki says coming to join us. “The law about the public claimings. Hunter’s going to petition to change the law. Alpha Kayce is now on board as well.” She looks at him assessingly. He waits her out. “That’s good to know. How is my friend?” “Tired,” he says, smirking again. “Happy?” she asks. 0230 Chapter 64: Pride 1288 (Vouchers “Very, but I’ll let her tell you herself, after she gets some sleep. and some food. Which,” he says, lifting the nearly overflowing plate of food in his hands, “I need to go.” “Just let me know if you plan to stay another night. You’re both welcome, I just want to make sure we’re make preparations.” He nods and just before he turns, he looks past me again. “Will you let Letti know that Allison wants to speak with her later today?” “I’ll let her know if you let Allison know that I want to speak with HER later today,” Nikki says. He grins at her. “Should I tell Robin you said hi when I see him?” She huffs and walks off, not answering. Kayce only grins wider. “I’ll take that as a yes. I’ll see you later and I’ll talk to Ali about our plans, and let you know this afternoon what they are, if that’ s okay.” “Sure thing,” Hunter says. Hunter guides us to sit with Nikki and Letti for breakfast. I look around. “Where are the twins?” “I’m not sure they’ve come out of their rooms since they got here,” Nikki says. “Yeah, I went to see them yesterday, but they didn’t come out at all,” Letti adds. “Are they afraid?” I ask.

“I’m not sure. I told them it was safe, so did Letti, but they might have heard Alpha Kayce and Allison last night. I’m pretty sure 0936 Chapter 64: Pride everyone on that side of the packhouse heard them,” Nikki grimaces. “I’ll go talk to them. Do we know if they’re eating?” I ask. “I’m not sure, Luna,” Nikki says and Letti shrugs that she doesn’t know either. I look at Hunter. “Eat first. You’re eating for two. Then take care of our guests,” he says, leaning over to kiss the side of my head. “So, how did the committee meeting go? The real story. I’m guessing it went really well since the two of you look like you literally tried to devour each other last night,” Nikki says, smirking. “My mate was incredible,” Hunter growls, looking at me with pride, passion, and desire, sending a wave of heat through my body. I shrug. “They p**d me off. They were acting like we don’t matter, like Hunter is in this fight alone. I just reminded them that I’m Sophie Meyers and that if I decided to truly start a revolution, we, the ranked she-wolves, would destroy them.” Boin Nikki and Letti stop eating and stare at me. I notice that the other tables around us have gone quiet too. “See? Incredible,” Hunter says proudly. “You threatened the Alphas?” Letti asks. “Only some of them? Half of them were in agreement to at least let Hunter keep his title. Alpha Kayce obviously is on our side, Alpha Robin is too,” I say, smiling at Nikki. She looks down as a 09361 Chapter 64: Pride light blush colors her cheeks. “My father is and now, Alpha Calvin is as well. The only one I’m still not sure about is Alpha Ezra, but he said he wants to come visit and see more of our interactions.” “I intend to call him today,” Hunter says. “He needs to see us, to see you, to see how happy you are.

It’s important.” “Can we get back to the part where you threatened the Alphas?” Nikki asks. “Well, Hunter had already threatened to decimate their packs. Alpha Robin and my father reminded your brother and Alpha Aiden that their packs border each other, so if they were to wage war on us, their packs might not still be there when they return,” I say, smiling and taking a bite of food. “Alpha Robin said that?” Nikki asks quietly. “He did,” I confirm, watching her nod as she looks down thoughtfully. “You know he’ll be here next week?” She nods. Alpha Robin was clear that he intends to be here for Nikki’s birthday, in case they truly are mates. “A ɔha, Alpha Ezra is on the phone for you,” Lucas says, jogging up. Hunter looks at me. “Saves me the phone call,” he says standing and looking at my plate. “Will you finish that, please?” “Hunter, it’s so much food,” I say. “Please, Soph. Try, for me,” he asks softly, leaning down to kiss me. Chapter 64 Pride I huff. “I’m making an appointment to see the doctor soon. You need to know that I’m not fragile, Hunter.” “Baby, there was nothing fragile about you in front of those Alphas yesterday,” he growls. This time when he kisses me, he grabs my hair and takes my mouth in a possessive kiss. It’s so reminiscent of last night that I know we’re going to have another marathon love fest tonight. “Come see me after you talk to the twins,” he says, his eyes dark. “Okay,” I say softly. “Ladies,” he says, barely glancing at Nikki and Letti before holding my gaze. He releases my hair and stands. “See you soon, lover.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

I watch him walk away. “Do you think….do you think we can all find that?” Letti asks me when I turn back with a dopey smile on my face. “I hope so. If we can change the law, it will make a huge difference. But honestly, it depends on the man. Hunter is a good man, and he obviously doesn’t care who knows how much he adores me.” “Did you really submit to him in front of the other Alphas?” Nikki asks quietly. “I did. Neither of us liked it, but it was important to show that I have absolute faith in him. Besides, I was in his arms. He would never let another man get that close to me,” I say smiling. 09361 Chapter 64. Pride 1285 Your “I don’t know that I could ever trust someone like that,” Nikki says. “I didn’t think I could either, but Hunter is a man of his word,” I say. “Does he have any brothers?” Letti asks, making me laugh as I take the last bite of food my stomach can handle. It’s not the entire plate, but it’s more than I had planned to eat. That will have to do. I mind link the pack doctor, letting him know I need to make an appointment. ‘Tomorrow, Luna. Nine o’clock?’ he asks. ‘Perfect. Hunter and I will see you then, I say, as I grab some I food and make my way to the twins’ rooms. I need to find out what has them scared and what we can do about it. 09:36
