The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 79: Chaos and Mayhem Sophie

This is only my second tat the Committee of Alphas, and the first tthat I'm up here in the seating area.

I'm not sure if it's always this tense, but | can feel the Alpha auras pressing in aroundfrom every direction,

Hunter's included.

| look back and see that, on our side, it looks like my mother, sister, and friends can feel it, but it isn't impacting

them. However, when | look at Luna Margot and Luna June, they both look like the weight of all these auras is

pressing down on them heavily.

"We have two items on the agenda today, the first is to discuss whether or not Alpha Owen broke the law by

claiming an omega publicly and the second is a law revision requested by Alpha Hunter. Before we start the

meeting today, it also appears that we have two Alphas with new mates. To my knowledge, these Alphas did not

publicly claim their mates, and therefore must be scheduled for trial. They will be excluded from the voting

today."

"Absolutely not!" Kayce says, jumping to his feet. "You have no right to removefrom the council."

"Did you publicly claim your mate, then?" Alpha Elias asks.

"No, and | will not. But the precedence has been set. We all voted that Hunter would keep his title, which is why

the law is on the floor to be changed."

"Yes, Alpha Hunter has set quite a precedent, hasn't he?" Alpha Alaric says, sneering at Hunter. "It seems he's

collecting ranked she-wolves and giving them to his friends." "That is absolutely untrue," Nikki says, standing to

face her brother.

"Is it? Because when you were underage, he refused to hand you over to me, your brother," Alaric says, also

standing.

"At my request. | asked Alpha Hunter for safety, and he provided it, even after Alpha Aiden attackedand

nearly separated my leg from my body," she says, glaring at Aiden.

"You shouldn't have interrupted my claim of that she-wolf who now wears another's mark. She was mine and you

interrupted a claiming. | was in my rights as an Alpha and a ranked member to claim her publicly. You, little girl,

were not," Aiden spits at her.

Robin snarls, standing up, ready to attack Aiden. Kayce looks ready to attack him as well.

"Enough!" Elias says, trying to maintain order.

"And where are my twins, Alpha Hunter? You've been hiding them away from me. I've requested access to your

pack to see them, but you've deniedthat access."

"Those twins are no longer available. They are mine," Dutton growls, standing as well.

"You son of a b***h. Those girls were mine! | had nearly caught them when they ran onto Hunter's pack lands.

He's the only reason I didn't claim my mates," Aiden snarls, pointing at Hunter. 11:27

'You need to be ready to move quickly if things get out of hand, Sophie. | won't have you or our pup injured in an

Alpha fight. Grab your sister and get out of here," Hunter says in my head, watching the interactions intently.

He's moved so that his body is basically shielding mine.

I nod, knowing that he's right. In these tight quarters, there's no way that | wouldn't be injured if a fight broke out

and while | want to help my mate, I'm not willing to risk our pup. "ORDER!" Elias booms out. | look over and see

that both Luna Margot and Luna June have their necks raised in submission and they have tears streaming down

their faces at the massive amount of power being displayed in this room. There's so much anger and animosity

that | can't imagine what it's like for them, feeling the weight of it all. | can feel it, like a heavy blanket trying to

weighdown and I'm sure that others feel it too, but those two have no defense against it since their mates

haven't made them equal partners in their packs.

"| think Alpha Hunter should go back on trial for pretending to take in rank she-wolves, only to hand them out to

his friends like candy," Alpha Owen says from below us. He's obviously enjoying the show from the safety of the

pit.

Hunter growls, but | put a hand on his back. Owen is trying to get a rise out of him, maybe hoping to start a fight

that he is safe from participating in.

"Alpha Dutton should definitely go on trial for stealing my mates!" Aiden snarls.

"They're not yours, Alden. They never were," Dutton snarls back, his claws coming out.

"If I kill you, they will be," Aiden taunts and that's all it takes to snap the tenuous thread of composure this group

had. Dutton leaps, going straight at Aiden, both have their claws out. "NOW SOPH!" Hunter yells, standing and

"Nikki..." I hear Robin say.

"Don't you start with me, Robin," she says, as her own claws

"Amelia! With me!" | yell at her just as Hunter turns, wrapping his arms around me. He snarls loudly and | smell

blood, his blood.

"Your b***h of a mate started all of this!" Elias snarls from close byand | realize that he had leaped at me,

and Hunter had taken the brunt of his claws to protect me.

"Go, Soph. Get out of here now!" he says in my ear, pushingforward and away from the fight before turning

and slashing Elias down his face and throat. When he turns, | can see the long g**hes left in his back from Elias"

claws, but thankfully, they are already starting to heal.

Allison and Nikki stay to fight, but | grab Amelia so Calvin can fight, and then my mother. "Con, we need to

get out of here," | say.

"I can fight," my mother says.

"Protect our daughters!" my father growls, before jumping onto Alpha Joshua.

We pass Ezra who leaps just as we pass him. I'm not sure if he was guarding our exit or if he is just last into the

fight. There's a lot of snarling and snapping as | push my mother and sister out of the room. "Get outside," my

mother says, and we begin to make our way out of the committee building.

"I knew | should have marked you when | had you. If | had, none of this would be happening. I'd have put you in

line, just like Luna Margot and Luna June," | hear Owen's smarmy voice say from beside us. Rather than jumping

into the fight, he's come. after us.

"Stay away from my daughters," my mother growls, putting herself in front ofand Amelia.

Owen ignores her, looking atand licking his lips. "Once Elias or another Alpha kills Hunter, I'll take you and

once we get rid of his pup, I'll make sure to put mine in you," he sneers. "The thought of breaking such a strong

woman makeshard," he says, rubbing his c**h.

"You canywhere near me, and I'll kill you," I tell him. "You're a disgusting excuse for an Alpha."

"But | caught you, didn't I?" he sneers.

"But you couldn't do it on your own, could you? No self-respecting Alpha needs all his ranked members to help

His lip curls in anger as he glares at me. "You have a smart

"I'd rip your c**k off before I'd let it anywhere near me," | growl back.

From behind him, | see Luna Margot and Luna June rushing out the doors. Luna Margot sees Owen, and grabs a

chair, swinging it at him, smashing him in the head and knocking him out.

"Go! Now's your chance!" Luna June says to her.

"Not without you, mother," she says.

"Sweetheart, I'd only slow you down. You're young and strong, go," her mother says.

| watch as Margot hugs her mother tightly. "I'll cback for you."

"Don't. Go live your life. Mine is done."

"You're running?" | ask her.

Margot turns and looks at me. "Are you going to stop me?"

"No. Go to our pack. We'll give you sanctuary. If not ours, then Alpha Kayce's, he's taking in she-wolves as well."

"Or ours, we'd take you in," my mother says.

"Thank you," she says and hugs her mother tightly again before turning, shifting, and racing off into the woods.

"You could cwith us too," | tell Luna June.

"No, it would only becmore of a manhunt for my daughter if | were with her," she says, turning to my

mother. "You understand, don't you?"

"I do. But my offer stands. Anytime," she says, just as Hunter comes stumbling out of the building. He's covered

in blood. "Hunter!"

"The committee has been dismantled. We're going to war."
