The One He Claimed

The One 39

Chapter 39: Drive Home Hunter “How are you feeling?” I ask Sophie as we drive home. We left Alpha Carter’s pack with three Alphas pledging to stand beside us in the coming battles and possibly a war. Sophie and I also talked privately to Carter and Amy about bringing Penny into our pack. That way, there would be no reason for any of the Alphas to attack their pack. The focus would be solely on my pack. Because they have accepted responsibility for her and she has accepted their safety, they want to talk to her about it first. “I’m good. Sad, but also happy, if that makes sense.” “Let’s talk about the sad part first,” I say. I’m pretty sure I already know why she’s feeling sad. The conversation with her sister over dinner was tough. But Calvin had returned with his mate and promised that he’d stand with us. “I feel so sad for Amelia. I feel sad for all of them. And, honestly, I feel badly for Alpha Calvin as well. It seems to be as hard for him as it is for Amelia. I can’t imagine feeling all of the things that I do for you, but not trusting you, not feeling capable of giving myself to you. That’s not just hard for me, it would be…” “It would be devastating to me as your mate and your Alpha. It’s my job to protect you, to protect all of our pack members. And somehow, the ones we are supposed to hold most dear are the ones we treat the worst,” I finish. What Calvin said tonight over dinner is the same as what I’d 16 59 heard from Lucas when he sank his canines into Kinsley. And I agree, I don’t understand how a mate can be okay with feeling those emotions from the one they love. Unless some of those Alphas just don’t respect or appreciate the mate bond. “And, of course, I’m happy because I have you. I didn’t have to go through any of that. But, Hunter, how am I going to get these she-wolves to believe me that we have a safe pack for them? How canCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I convince them to follow me? Amelia seems to think they will follow me just because I’m Sophie Meyers-Reynolds, but that can’t be enough.” “I think it is. I think you underestimate how powerful your words and your actions are. I felt it tonight from your father’s pack. When you leaned in to kiss me, your actions impacted everyone in the room. You saw it with Alpha Dutton and Alpha Calvin. You saw how Dutton asked you about why it mattered, not me. You, and your sister as well, have a lot of pull. But Amelia is right, you are the face of this revolution, whether you intended to be or not. The question is, Sophie Reynolds, what are you going to do about it?” I watch as she struggles with this idea. “What do you think I should do?” she finally asks, turning back to me. I take her hand, pulling it to my lips, thrilled that she wants my opinion. “Start with the mountain. Start going with Kinsley. If there are she-wolves there, talk to them if you can. If not, leave a note letting them know that you’ve found your mate, how we came together and that they will be safe in our pack. That’s how we start.” “You make it sound easy.” “It’s not going to be easy. I can guarantee if they haven’t 208 Vouchers already, the Alphas will get together and they will call a meeting, basically a trial where you and I will have to go in front of them and they will try to force me to mark you publicly.” I feel her unease and I kiss her hand again. “I won’t do it. I don’t care if I have to fight every last one of them, I won’t do it. But they’ll have their Lunas there. That will be your chance to make an impact, to give them the knowledge that they can then take back to their packs, to their ranked females. Death isn’t their only option now and the Lunas will unite behind you. Once they do, the others will as well.” “What about you? What will you tell them?” she asks me. “I’m not sure yet. It depends on which way they fight. If it’s about the law, then I’ll fight for the law to be changed. If they think that I’m weak, then I’ll have to fight them,” I say and hear her gasp. “Hunter…”

“I’m a strong Alpha, my love. But that is also why I’m getting allies now. We still need to go see Kayce and Robin and I need to call Alpha Ezra. We need them on our side before we go in front of the Alpha council. That group makes up half of the Alphas. If we have them on our side and I do have to fight the Alphas, I won’t be fighting all of them alone.” She looks back out the windows, staring out into the darkness as I drive. “I can fight too,” she says quietly. “I don’t want you fighting the Alphas. I will do that.” ! She turns and looks at me. “Why, because I’m a woman? I’m strong, I’m an Alpha female. I can fight and if they come after you…” I pull her hand to my mouth again, smiling at my passionate mate. “Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.” I glance at her, not sure I want to approach this subject yet. “There’s also the possibility that you’re already carrying my pup, Sophie.” I say it as gently as possible, not sure how she’ll feel about yet another change in her life so quickly. But, we haven’t been careful and we’ve been pretty active, which I intend to continue. Sophie looks at me, then down at her stomach. “Do you think so? It’s so soon.” “It’s a big possibility, not just because we’re mates, but, we were trying different positions, so…you have a lot of my Alpha sperm floating around in your body right now searching for an egg to attach itself to.” She bursts out laughing. “I just got an image of an army of sperm storming a castle trying to find their princess hidden in the tallest tower.” “Close enough,” I say, smiling because I made her laugh. Her laughter is a beautiful sound. “How long do think it’ll be before know?” she asks, putting the hand that isn’t in mine on her stomach. “A couple of weeks, I’d guess, maybe less. But I wasn’t planning to stop until we know for sure. There are still many, many positions to show you, my curious mate,” I purr at her. I smile, much more possessively this time, when I see her body 16.59

shivers at my words. 11 288 Moucher “Like what?” she asks me. “Oh, there are quite a few positions we haven’t tried. If you’d like, we can try them all,” I say and she’s instantly nodding her head, yes. “And that doesn’t even begin to cover all the positions where we can try oral sex.” Her eyes flicker to my lap where my d**k has gone hard with this conversation. “Do you have an **m with oral sex?” she asks me. “I don’t have to, but I’d prefer it. Besides, I have Alpha sperm. Even if I came in your mouth once, I’d still have plenty left to… add to the army, shall we say.” She smiles at my words, but her eyes are still glued to my lap, making my **k twitch in my pants. She turns and looks at the road before turning back to me. “Can I try it while you’re driving?” “You want to go down on me while I’m driving?” I ask, having to control my voice so it doesn’t squeak with my excitement. My mate is so adventurous. “Well, I’ve never done it, so I might not be very good at it,” she says. I check the distance to our pack on the GPS. “We have about 30 minutes for you to play and see if you like it. The biggest thing is, don’t use your teeth. Hands, lips, and tongue only,” I tell her. Her eyes flash with excitement. “You’ll let me know when we’re getting close to the pack?” “Absolutely. You can always trust me.” She starts to lean forward but I grab her hair, kissing her passionately and quickly before letting her go. 288 Wouchers She smiles at me, a devilish, mischievous smile. “You want me to do this?” “Very, very much.”

She turns in her seat, moving her seat belt to give her better access before she begins undoing my pants. When I spring free, I lift my hips, pulling my pants down just enough to give her free access. I push the seat back and watch her. “Hands, lips, and tongue,” she says to herself before reaching out and taking me in her hand. I gasp and adjust my hips, thrilled that my mate is so curious. She looks up at me, watching my face as she strokes me. “That feels fantastic,” I encourage her. She bites her bottom lip, making me growl as she looks back down, watching herself stroke me. Then she leans forward and licks the tip of my c**k. I suck in air and pull her hair out of her face. I want to see her pretty face while she sucks on me. Her warm lips surround my tip, and she sucks gently. Her mouth already feels so good on me. I moan as she swirls her tongue 16 54 around my c**k. 289 Mouchers The scent of her arousal begins to permeate the air and I realize that she’s enjoying my response as much as I’m enjoying her mouth. I quickly twist her hair, leaving it laying on her back so I can still see her face, but I begin moving my hand down her back and to the waistband of her pants. Since we didn’t have any clothes that fit her and even her old clothing was too large, I easily slide my hand inside her pants and down to her panties. I gasp as she slides more of me inside her mouth and I lean over, sliding my hand over her a**and between her thighs. Her panties are soaked with her arousal and I moan with the pleasure of her mouth and how wet she is for me. 1 slip my fingers under her panties and begin rubbing the rim of her entrance. She moans with me in her mouth and my d**k twitches against her tongue. She moans again, but this time it’s one of understanding. My mate just realized that her moans are enjoyable to me as well, especially in this position. She removes her hand from my **k and leaving

my c**k in her mouth, unbuttons and unzips her pants, giving me easier access. I’ll give my mate credit, she’s either a quick learner or she’s paying attention to what I like, because before long, she’s sucking on me in long strokes, swirling her tongue around my tip before taking me in again until I hit the back of her throat. I slide my fingers inside her soaking wet warmth, leaning over even further so I can begin to stroke my fingers in and out of her. She arches her back, pressing her body closer to me so l can slide my fingers even deeper inside her. “Does my baby like my fingers inside her?” I ask her. 16:59 Utive Home “Mmhmm,” she responds, without taking my c**k from her mouth. “You feel so f**g good, Sophie.” I feel the walls of her p**y begin to flutter around my fingers and I know she’s close. “Can you open your throat baby, take me deeper? I want us to come together.” I can feel her trying to figure out how to do it while still moaning because of my fingers. I slow my movements, giving her a minute to focus and gently press my hips up when I feel myself hit her throat again. It takes a second, then I slide into her tight throat. “Oh f**k, Sophie, that’s it,” I say and begin moving my fingers faster again. I pull off on the side of the road, knowing I’m going to explode in her mouth and wanting to experience the pleasure of it without having to focus on the road. She begins moaning louder as my fingers pump into her. “Yes, Sophie! Yes! F**K!” I say as her p**y clamps onto my fingers, and I push my c**k into her throat a second before I explode. She moans before instinctively swallowing as I come, taking everything that I’m giving her. I look down and see her pretty mouth pressed tightly against my body, her throat contracting as I come. As she comes down, she slides me out of her throat, licking and sucking me clean before sliding her

mouth off my c**k. I grab her hair and pull her to me for a kiss as my fingers continue to 16.59 Chapter 39: Drive Home stroke inside her, loving the feel of her aftershocks. 289 Mouchers When I finally release her, sliding my fingers out of her and pulling her away from the kiss, I hold her close while I suck her fingers into my mouth, licking them clean. Her eyes are still dark with desire as she watches me. “You taste delicious, floral and sweet. I’m going to need to taste more of you when we get home,” I say, watching her. “Does that mean we get to try another position?” she asks, her eyes sparkling. “Did you want more soldiers to add to your army?” I ask, keeping with her earlier analogy. “Yes.” I smile at my incredible mate. “We can try as many as you like.”
