The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 63: Mate Marks Hunter

I'm not sure who wanted to get hfaster,or Kayce. I've never felt the desperate need to be inside a

woman like I'm feeling with Sophie. Maybe it's because she's feeling the sand our combined need is nearly

overwhelming me. | almost s**d having a pack meeting when we returned. However, | know the entire pack was

on edge with this committee meeting and | need to let them know that I'm still their Alpha and other than

monitoring the borders, we're business as usual.

| got through that meeting as quickly as possible, answering a few questions before nodding to Lucas and Kinsley

that | needed to go.

They took over, thankfully and | practically dragged Sophie up the stairs to our bedroom. The moment the door

closed behind me, we were all over each other, clothes shredding, mouths everywhere. Our sex was rough, dirty,

and desperate. | pounded into my mate like I've never done before. She clawed my back lea ng painful slashes

that just added to the intense pleasure of our f¥*g. When | let up just a bit, worried that maybe | was being too

rough with her, she took control, flipping our positions and ridinglike a f**g jack hammer, her head thrown

back, as she roared her power and dominance along with her pleasure. Seeing my mate, so confident, so f¥*g

s**y as she rode me, I'd had one of the strongest o**ms of my life, howling my own pleasure as | emptied myself

inside her.

When we were both finally spent, our bodies slick with sweat,

c**m, and saliva, she collapsed on top of me, her hair sticking to her body, both of us panting.

"We should do that again sometime," she said, makingbark out a laugh. I pulled her closer toand kissed

the top of her head before we'd fallen asleep curled up together. Later, when our sweat had dried, | woke, feeling

a chill in the room and pulled the blanket over both of us before curling around my mate and falling back to

sleep.

This morning, | slid inside my mate much more gently, slipping into her warm wetness from behind, kissing her,

holding her, and teasing her while | slowly brought her up and over, loving the feel of her body clamping down

on mine as | continued my thrusts.

"You are mine, little Alpha," | growl into her ear, getting aroused all over again thinking about yesterday and how

she faced off against that room full of Alphas.

"Yes," she says breathily, arching her back to takedeeper as | force her to continue to ride out her o**m.

"Say it," | growl, needing to hear her say that she is mine. All mire.

"I'm yours. I'm yours, Hunter," she moans, her arm reaching back around my neck. I look down at her body as

my thrusts becharder, seeing the bite marks that | left all over her last night. Shaw and | feel the need to

leave another one, feel the need to mark her again, make her ours again.

| pull out of her, flipping her quickly as my canines extend. | pull her knees over my shoulders and press them to

her chest as slam back into her.

"Mine!" | growl.

"Yes! Yes, Hunter, yes!" she screams, lifting her chin and givingthe access that | desire.

I sink my canines into her marking spot again, Shaw pushing his venom into her, our scent flooding her system

as she screams her o**m, her body shooting off again around mine a moment before her teeth sink into my

marking spot.

As my body explodes with the force of my o**m, | hear her growly voice in my head. "Mine!"

Once again, our wolves feel the need to pump a large amount of venom into our mates' bodies, so we stay there,

locked

together, our bodies continuing to jerk with aftershocks until both of our wolves are satisfied.

When Shaw and Hedda finally release us, | pull my canines out, licking the wound closed as she does the same.

Then | nip at her neck gently, moving my way to her mouth and kissing her softly, like | started with her this

morning. It's a long, lingering kiss and when I finally pull away, | look down at the goddess. that | get to call

mine.

"Fe better?" she asks, smirking at me.

"I love you so ***g much, Sophie. | love you more than | ever knew | could love another person. You are so

perfect, so incredibly perfect."

Her smile shifts to a sweet smile, a happy smile, as she caresses my arms and back. "I think you're pretty f**g

perfect too, Alpha." She nips at my chin. "And | love you with all my heart." 0936

| kiss her nose before pulling out and sitting up. "Con, we smell of sex and it's almost tfor training. We

need to shower so we don't offend the noses of our pack mates," | say, pulling her into the shower and taking

her again in one of her favorite positions.

As we dry off, Sophie looks at our bodies in the mirror, raising an eyebrow. "I'm pretty sure the entire pack is

going to know what we did last night. Both of us are covered in love bites and your back looks like you've been

whipped."

| look over her body. | hadn't paid attention to where Shaw and | were biting her, and obviously she wasn't

paying attention either, but she's right. There's no hiding our possessive love.

"Does it bother you?" | ask her, running my fingers over a particularly deep bite mark on her **cheek.

"No. The pack knows I'm yours and that you are mine. Why shouldn't they see the evidence of that. It's already

on our necks," she says smiling proudly.

| growl possessively, before taking her hand and walking to the training grounds. When we arrive downstairs, I'm

not surprised that Alpha Kayce and Allison, or most likely now, Luna Allison, are. 't in attendance.

"I wasn't expecting you, Alpha," Lucas says as we walk up.

"Why's that?" | ask, leaving Sophie and moving to the front of the group.

"Uh, you weren't exactly quiet last night Alpha," one of the warriors says. 09:36

"And it's not like it's not obvious that you were up most of the night, Alpha," another says, gesturing at my bite

and scratch covered torso. They're all unwilling to meet my gaze and they all have smirks on their faces.

"I make no apologies for making my mate happy," | say, making them snort. | can feel Sophie's embarrassment,

but it's not about them having heard her as much as it's about them hearing her and seeing the evidence of her

claim all over my body.

'Are you okay?' | ask in the mind link. It doesn't feel like it's a bad thing, but | want to make sure.

'Yes. | guess | need to try and be quieter next tand maybe try to control myself a little more. But it's really

not my fault that I'm happy to be yours or that you feel so good when I'm riding you," she says, finally looking up

at me.

'l have no problem with you telling or showing the world how much you love me," | say, smiling at her.

"Well, it's not like you were the only ones," Letti says, huffing. "I was next door to Allison and Alpha Kayce last

night. They didn't sleep at all so neither did I," she says grumpily.

"I can move you if they decide to stay another night, but I'm guessing Kayce will want to return to his pack,

especially now that he's found his Luna," | say.

| watch Letti's face fall at that. From what | understand, she and Allison have been together a while. | guess she

feels like she's losing a friend.

We go through training, and I pair off with Sophie again, now it's

not only to train her, but also, | won't allow her to spar with anyone else while she's carrying my pup. | won't risk

injuring my child. I'm very careful during our training, only tagging her on her hips, legs, and arms, avoiding her

stomach completely, but | can feel the difference in Sophie today. She's feeling her Alpha power. Maybe it was

standing up to the committee together, or maybe it was her standing up to them on her own, whatever it was,

she's attacking and blockingwith confidence this morning. Since she's still early on in her pregnancy, | don't

limit her moves, but once she begins showing, we'll have to modify her training program. I'm not so foolish to

think that I'll be able to convince my mate to stop sparring, at least until our pup is so large that it becomes

impossible for her, but she'll need to modify her training because eventually her movements will be limited, and

| don't her hurting herself or our pup.

After training, we head inside to have breakfast and find Kayce piling food on a plate.

"Where's Allison?"

"Sleeping," he says with a proud smile. | look at his neck and he pulls his shirt away.

"Nice mate mark."

"Thanks, yours looks pretty fresh too. Your mate re-claiming you?" he asks as Sophie walks up. "Ahhh, you've

both been re- claimed I see."

"How is Allison?" Sophie asks him, coming up and wrapping her arm around my waist. | love how simple and

easy it is for her to touch me.

Kayce's smile is that of a man in love. | know the look well. I've
