The One He Claimed

The One 126

Chapter 126: New Arrivals Sophie After Hunter showed me how much he loves me and wow does that man love me, I needed to get back to the pack. As I walk to the door of his office, I turn. “I don’t even know Alpha Zahn’s mate’s name,” I say. “I didn’t either. It’s Jocelyn.” “Jocelyn. Not his fated mate, right?” “No. I don’t know about his first mate, it’s possible she was. But this one was one he hunted down as you said.” Even more reason for Jocelyn to not want to be mated to Zahn. I have no idea what he expects to gain by coming here. “Oh, and thinking of Jocelyn reminded me, we need more homes built at the survivor center. The surviving mates are asking to leave the packhouse,” I tell him. “I figured. I’ll talk to Lucas about getting them built quickly. Is Leah moving out?” “I’m going to confirm with her and Brooklyn that they don’t want the house they’ve been living in, but Brutus has a room here. Otherwise, I’m sure he’d be willing to build them a house on the pack lands,” I say. He looks at me thoughtfully. “You know, that’s not a bad idea, 0.00% 1506 Chapter 126: New Arrivals Sophie.” “What’s that?” 288 iVouchers “Building houses for pack members who have pups or just don’t want the craziness of the packhouse. We’ve always had space for everyone, but we’re getting bigger, growing with the number of ranked females who keep coming to our borders. Maybe others would want their own

space, away from the hustle and bustle of the packhouse.” I’m just about to turn away, still thinking about what he said, when I get a mind link from the border patrols. ‘Luna, there’s a man here who is asking for a Sophia. He’s got two she-wolves with him, none of them are marked.’ ‘What’s his name,’ I ask frowning. Sophia was the name I used in the diner when I was on the run. It’s quiet a moment before he comes back. ‘He says you may remember him as Jethro or possibly Jaime.’ “Sophie?” Hunter asks, obviously part of the mind link. ‘Does he smell like a lone wolf?’ I ask the patrol. ‘Yes, and the she-wolves smell like them too,’ the patrol says, as I turn and head out of Hunter’s office. ‘Ranked?’ I ask, beginning to jog. I hear Hunter growl behind me and turn, watching him strip quickly and shift before Shaw walks up and bumps against me. He lays down at my feet, a clear indication that he’s coming too and that I’m supposed to get on his back. 15060 Chapter 126; New Arrivals ‘Not ranked, but definitely scared and they’re in pretty bad shape Luna,’ he says. ‘We’re on our way,’ Hunter says in the mind link as Shaw gets up with me on his back and begins running to the borders. “I can jog, Hunter. Our son isn’t so big that I can’t,” I say as we go. All I get is Shaw’s protective growl. I shake my head but drop it. Now that he’s felt his son move, I’m guessing this will be my new norm. Overprotective Shaw and Hunter. When we get to the border, I can see that the patrol was right. These girls look practically emaciated. They don’t smell like omegas though. Warriors, but exhausted, starving warriors,’ Hunter confirms in my head. I get off of Shaw’s back and after glancing at the women who look terrified, I focus on Jaime.

“So, what name are you going by these days, Jethro or Jaime?” ask him, smiling. I watch the tension in his body relax at my calm greeting. “Jaime. And you, Luna? You never mentioned that you were the legend that everyone was talking about,” he says casually, making the women look at him in surprise. ‘Relatives?’ I ask Hunter who has shifted back to his human form. I see him lift his nose in the air. Yes. Sisters, I’d guess.’ He had mentioned sisters when we’d met at the diner, in what 29.92% 15.06 Chapter 126: New Arrivals feels like a lifetime ago. “I didn’t know anything about being a legend back then. I was hiding, remember?” I ask. “I do. I’m glad that you remember too. I’m hoping that you’ll remember my kindness to you and help my sisters,” he says. “Sophie, how about an introduction,” Hunter says. “My apologies. Hunter, this is Jaime. We met while I was on the run. He was hiding with a group of humans, if I remember correctly. He came back after they left the diner to check on me and to warn me about the ranked members hunting she-wolves on the run.” “You looked after my mate? I am indebted to you,” Hunter says. “I didn’t do anything, truly, other than make sure she was okay. Lone wolves look out for each other, and she was a young, Alpha female, alone.” “All the more reason that appreciate your assistance,” Hunter says. “I’m Alpha Hunter, Sophie’s mate. Welcome to our pack. You all look like you need food, a shower, and a warm bed.” “I’m not asking for myself, just a safe place for my sisters,” Jaime says. “We have plenty of room for you too, Jaime, if you’re tired of being on the run. Hunter and I were just talking about ways to expand our housing so that we can accommodate those who need our assistance, whether it’s short-term or forever,” I say, turning to the she-wolves. They’re both young,NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

younger than Jaime, and I think one is underage. 15:06 Chapter 126; New Arrivals “I’m Luna Sophie and you are welcome here. May I have your names?” “I’m Beth and this is Chloe,” the older of the two says. Even her voice sounds weak. I take a chance and walk up to them, opening my arms and offering comfort. They both look at Jaime before falling into my arms and sobbing in relief. I see Jaime look down; his lips pressed tightly together. Everyone stays silent while I calm and soothe the girls. It’s not uncommon for those who find us to break down from the relief of finally being safe. “Come with me,” I say, when they stop crying. “That goes for you too, Jaime,” I say, looking over at him. “Thank you, Luna,” he says, then looks at Hunter to ensure that he’s okay with it too. “She’s the boss. I just work here,” Hunter says, smiling at Jaime. I snort, but as with all females coming into the pack, I take the lead. “Let’s get you something to eat. While we do that, we can get you a room, some clothes, and once you’ve showered and rested, we’ll talk,” I say, turning to make sure that Jaime is following us. I notice him looking at my stomach. “A lot has changed since I last saw you.” “That feels like a lifetime ago. And I guess it was,” I say, smiling at Hunter. Jaime catches the exchange. 15.06 Chapter 126; New Arrivals “So, he’s one of the good Alphas?” Jaime asks me. “He’s the best there is,” I say proudly, smiling at my mate. The patrols aren’t surprised, but Jaime and his sisters are. Hunter smiles warmly at me, but Jaime turns to him. “We should talk.” “Is it urgent? You don’t look much better than your sisters.”

“Maybe we can talk over lunch and then I can rest. I’ll admit I’m pretty tired.” “Dead on your feet seems more accurate. You’ve been protecting them?” Hunter asks him. “Once I found them, yes. It’s a long story,” Jaime says. “One that can wait for now,” I say as we make our way into the packhouse. “Luna, we have some fresh faces,” Kinsley says, gingerly walking up. “Are you allowed to be out of bed?” I ask her. “One hour, Luna. That’s all I’ve given her,” Dr. Felicity says from behind Kinsley. “Fine, you can spend your one hour eating with us and figuring out a room situation,” I say to Kinsley before turning to the girls. “Would the two of you like to share a room, or separate rooms?” ask them. They look at each other. “We’d like to share.” Chapter 126, New Arrivals “Two rooms then,” I say to Kinsley, as several omegas walk out with food. “Two?” she asks. “Their brother and my friend, Jaime,” I say, turning to look at him. I frown at the look on Jaime’s face, looking at Hunter who is smiling at me. “Never a dull moment around here,” Hunter says. I follow Jaime’ s gaze and see Penny, staring back at him, both of their eyes wide. “Do you two know each other?” I ask Penny. Penny shakes her head but doesn’t look at me. “No, Luna.” I frown, looking at Hunter, but it’s Jaime that speaks. “Mate.”
