The One 90

Chapter 90: Protection Detail Sophie I come awake slowly, feeling warm and comfortable, my mate’s pine scent filling my nose. I shift, stretching to work out the kinks in my body. “Mmm, good morning,” Hunter’s sleepy voice says from behind. me, as he buries his face into my hair, kissing the crook of my neck just behind my mate mark. It sends shivers through my body, just as his deep, husky voice does. He tugs me against him, and I feel his arousal pressing against my bottom and back. “How are you feeling?” he asks. “Stiff, but well-rested.” He chuckles behind me. “You should be, you slept nearly a day and a half.” “What?” I ask sitting up quickly. “Baby, you were exhausted. You and Kinsley did everything to get this pack in order while Lucas and I slept. It seemed only fair that you get to sleep it off. And before you start arguing that you didn’t fight any battles, you are carrying my pup and that along with the stress of the battle and aftermath is enough to drain anyone’s energy,” he says, pulling me back down and curling his large frame around me. 0.00% 1700 pas Torres with side botes L welding tack leeding is Eve already myr’s fated mate delicate Chapter 9p Protection Detai 208 Wouchers describe Brooklyn any longer.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why’s that?” “She was incredible sewing up the warriors after the battle. They’ve all complimented her and for whatever reason, they’ve all sort of rallied behind her. They cleaned up her house, removed her father’s body, fixed her door, washed the inside so the blood is gone. No one asked them to do it, they did it on. their own. I even heard that one of our female warriors offered to teach Brooklyn to fight if she wanted to.” “Good for her! I’ll check in with her, find out her feelings about being a part of Owen’s execution, and I’ll also check out this Dr. Caspian. What about Leah and the other mates?” “We lost one of the mates. She was older, her pups grown. Brooklyn took it hard. You apparently tasked her with checking on them and she took that to mean that it was her job to keep them alive. I feel like the others are alive just because of her. She’s a lot stronger than she comes across.” “That which doesn’t kill you…” I say. “I think she was strong before this. I think Michael just kept her and Leah under his thumb. It will be interesting now to see what happens with them.” “Has she regained her wolf?” I ask. “Not yet. Even if they don’t, I have no intention of rejecting them from the pack,” Hunter says, making me smile. 20.00 17:00 17 208 Worthers “Good, because that’s what I told Brooklyn when I saw her last,” I say as we step out of the shower and dry off. “Great minds think alike, my love! He leans down and kisses me. This time he takes his time before releasing me. “Oh, I have one more favor to ask you. I need you to talk to Margot, maybe with Kinsley.” “About what?” “She’s planning to die when we kill Joshua, basically told me to not let that stop me from killing him

because she won’t let it stop her. I need you to talk to her try to convince her that she shouldn’t give up. She’s still young enough to live a full life. She may never choose to be mated again, but that doesn’t mean that she has to give up and die.” “I’ll talk to her. She has so much to give to a pack, even if it’s not as their Luna. I’ll get Kinsley to talk with us as well, that’s a good. idea. Kinsley understands better than I do about what Margot went through.” “I’m glad you don’t know, glad you never had to feel that kind of embarrassment, shame, or pain,” Hunter says, pulling me against his body and wrapping his arms around me. I sigh, leaning into him. He really is the perfect man, the perfect mate. ‘Perfect for you because you’re perfect for me,’ he says in my head, listening to my thoughts. 32.991 17:00 C Chapter 90 Protection Detail “I love you, my mate,” I say, looking up at him, letting my feelings of love flow through the bond. 11 288 Vachers He growls, leaning in to kiss me. “Were you planning on leaving. this room? Because when you do that, I just want to bury myself inside you again.” I giggle, before getting lost in his kiss, his scent, and his taste. It’s a bit later before we finally leave our room, going to look for breakfast. Hunter had apparently called off warrior training yesterday and today to allow our warriors to heal before getting back into sparring, so breakfast is being served a bit later than usual. After breakfast, I kiss my mate again, wave at Lucas and let Kinsley know that I need to chat with her later. “Are you headed to the pack hospital?” she asks me. “I am. I’m going to talk to Brooklyn. Want to come?” I ask her. “Sure do. I need to check out this Dr. Caspian for myself,” she. says, making me laugh. It seems everyone is protective of Brooklyn.

When we walk in, I see a couple of warriors sitting around, Brutus and Matthew. “Is everything okay?” I ask them, not having heard that someone was in bad shape. “We’re keeping an eye on the new doc who says he’s Brooklyn’s mate,” the older warrior, Brutus, says, jutting his chin in the direction he’s looking. 111 17:00 I glance at Kinsley and see her lips twitching. “So this is a protective detail?” she asks the two warriors. “We watch out for our own,” Matthew says. “I heard what you did at their house. That was very generous,” I say. “Luna, I know you were busy, but that woman stitched up warriors for twelve hours non-stop the other day. Didn’t stop to eat, barely stopped to pee or drink any water. She never acted tired, never lost her steady hand, and never became rough with her stitches. I, myself, had to get three layers of stitches while Argus healed me. Found out about the doc, because, you know, gossip hotline, and all. So, we’ve decided to stand guard and make sure this new guy doesn’t try anything with our Brooklyn. She’s been through enough.” Brutus is sitting with his large arms crossed over his body. He’s slumped in his chair, but he’s glaring past me. I turn and see a man I don’t know who keeps looking up at Brooklyn. I know the look well. My mate looks at me like that all the time. I turn and look at Kinsley. “I think it’s time we met this Dr. Caspian for ourselves, Beta.” “I couldn’t agree more.” The two of us make our way over to where the doctor is looking through charts. He looks up as we approach. “Hello, can I help you?” he asks. “Doctor Caspian?” I ask. III 17:00 I watch his nose twitch. He turns one way, then another, sniffing both of us.

“Do we need to make this conversation private, ladies?” he asks softly. “I don’t know, do we?” I ask frowning. “Follow me,” he says, nodding at Brooklyn who hoks at us curiously before he leads us to a room. As soon as we walk in, he turns to us. “You’re both pregnant.” “Yes,” Kinsley and I say together. “By choice?” he asks. “Yes,” we say and the tension in him eases. “Good. I was concerned that maybe…you wouldn’t be the first she-wolves who had asked me about terminating their pregnancies when they find themselves pregnant with a female pup. I thought this pack was different, but I didn’t want to make assumptions.” “I’m Luna Sophie and this is my Beta, Kinsley,” I say to him. “Oh. OH! Oh, my goddess, you must think me crass. I’m so sorry. I was so worried about the pups I smelled on you that I didn’t smell the rank. I apologize. What can I do for you?” “Brooklyn Row,” Kinsley says, jumping right in. “She’s my mate,” he says, leaning back against the wall, casually, but I can tell he’s ready to argue if we tell him to leave her alone. 111 17.00 “What are your intentions?” I ask him. He raises an eyebrow at that. “My intentions?” “Yes, what do you intend to do about being mated to Brooklyn?” I ask him. “Do I need to sit down for this?” he asks. “That’s up to you, doctor,” I say. He does sit and when he does, it’s like he deflates. “I know what happened to her. I saw her chart. I don’t even know how she survived something like that. Don’t know how her mother dragged her practically dead body all the way to this pack. to by sheer force of will, which only reinforces to me that Brooklyn gets her strength from her mother.”

It had “You understand that if you do anything to hurt that sweet girl, this entire pack will rain down hellfire on you like you’ve never seen?” Kinsley asks him. “I would expect nothing less from a pack that’s run by the Legend,” he says, looking at me. I roll my eyes. “Not you too?” “I’ve known Margot for many years. She’s not one to exaggerate, so if she says you’re the real deal, then I believe her.” I nod, looking at Kinsley who also nods. “You’ve been warned, doctor. And while we greatly appreciate your assistance with our pack members, we won’t hesitate to turn on you if you hurt her.” 79.03% 17.00 Chapter 901 Protection Detail “Understood. I have no intention of hurting her, but I do intend on staying close and letting her guide our interactions. With that in mind, I’d like permission to stay in the pack for the foreseeable future. Should I speak to Alpha Hunter about that?” I look at Kinsley and she gives me a nod that she’s in agreement. “No, you can stay. I’ll have a room made up for you as long as Brooklyn is in agreement with that.” “I can stay here. I’d prefer it while Brooklyn is watching over her mother.” “Any news on Leah and the other mates?” “They’re stable. In situations like this, especially with omegas, it can take up to a week before she regains consciousness.” “Thank you, doctor.” I turn and begin walking out but turn back. “I’m going to confirm with Brooklyn about you staying here, but as her mate, I should warn you, Alpha Owen is going to be here this weekend for his execution. I’m going to speak to Brooklyn now about what role, if any, she’d like to play in that. She may need you, doctor.” “And I’ll be here for her,” he says determinedly.
