The One 76
Chapter 76: Happiness
Hunter
We had quite the celebration the night I found out that my mate is carrying my son. Between that,
and then finding out that Lucas and Kinsley were also expecting, the pack was beyond excited.
Their happiness was palpable and both Robin and Duttonmented on it.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever felt this level of happiness in a pack, not mine, certainly,” Dutton said,
watching the festivities and smiling when one of the twinses over to hug him or wants to be
held by him for a moment. I can see that he’s letting them initiate the interactions, but he readily
agrees to every bit of attention,vishing them with love each time they approach him. Tammi,
especially, seems to thrive on his affection. Tiffany seems a bit more standoffish, but she still seeks
him out. frequently.
Nikki and Robin are a whole other level. The sexual tension between them is as heavy in the air as
my pack’s excitement.
“Do you think it’s because your ranked members are so happy?” Robin asks, participating in the
conversation but his eyes never leave his mate. She’s talking andughing with Sophie and Kinsley,
but her eyes continue to track back to Robin frequently.
“Maybe, or maybe it’s just Sophie, I’d like to think it’s all of us, but the feeling of the pack changed
when I brought her home. Well, that and I got rid of the ones who weren’t in agreement with
abolishing the public imings. She’s made everything
different, better.”
“Speaking of public imings, I heard that the girl Owen imed then discarded is here now, right?”
Dutton asks, tearing his gaze away from his mates to look at me.
“Brooklyn, yeah she’s here. She and her mother were finally released from the hospital. Her mom,
Leah, rejected her mate for not protecting their pup, so she’s also been healing. I’ve put them in a
house outside the pack because Brooklyn can’t take loud noises and crowds right now, it’s too
triggering for her.”
“She’s an omega?” Robin asks, also directing his attention to
me.
“Yeah,” I growl, knowing they’ll understand the damage that an Alpha did to a young omega in that
type of situation.
“What an a**hole. I’d like to talk to her while I’m here, if that’s possible. I’ll be careful with her,”
Dutton says, turning back to his mates. “Aiden’s the one who chased my girls onto your packnds,
right?”
“That was him. He’s also the one who was hunting Sophie when she ran home. I wasn’t kidding
when I said that any one of them could have captured our mates. Can you imagine if he’d have
caught the twins?”
Dutton’s possessive growl is not unexpected. I felt the same way when I heard Aiden had hunted
Sophie. Several people look up, but it’s the twins who look concerned. Dutton sets his drink down
and opens is arms. I smile as both matese over, wrapping themselves in his embrace.
“What is it?” Tiffany asks.

“I was confirming with Alpha Hunter that it was that a**hole. Aiden who chased you onto his pack
lands,” he tells her, and I see Tammi shiver in his arms. He kisses Tiffany’s forehead while pulling
Tammi closer, then kissing the top of her head. Both women rx in his embrace and I smile,
looking up to see my mate watching. When her eyes meet mine, I wink at her.
‘Did we decide who won our bet this morning?’ I ask her in the mind link, watching a soft blush
spread across her cheeks. Then her chin goes up just a little.
‘I did, but I was intending to defer to my mate, hoping he’ll teach me some new positions tonight,’
she says, and now it’s my turn to growl possessively, although much less aggressively than Dutton.
“Is all this growling an Alpha thing, or a male thing?” Nikki asks, walking up and eyeing her mate
seductively.
“Both,” all three of us say at once.
“Hmm, and what is all this grumbling about?” she asks.
“Who chased you? When you were on the run, who hunted you?” Robin asks her, tugging her
against his side when she doesn’t immediately lean against him.
“I’m much too fast to be caught by one of those a**h**s,” Nikki says with all the arrogance of a true
Alpha.
Robin just smiles at her. “I’ll bet you couldn’t get away from me.”
“What’s the bet?” she asks, and I snort, going to find my own
mate.

I wrap my arm around her, leaning down to kiss her lips when she looks up at me, then I look at my
Beta, who is happier than I’ ve ever seen him in my life.
“They’ve already gone to hear the baby’s heartbeat,” Sophie
says.
“When did they have time?” I ask.
“Lucas told Kinsley that he didn’t care about the party, she and his pup were more important.” As I
watch, Kinsley looks up at her mate, love shining in her eyes!
“This is going to be very good for them,” I say, watching as Lucas leans over and kisses her softly.
For once, she doesn’t flinch.
“We’re building something really good here, Hunter. Can you feel it?” she asks me softly.
“I can, and I’m not the only one. Dutton and Robin can feel it too,” I say. She turns, looking behind
us. I follow her gaze to see Robin and Nikki nearly nose to nose as they talk, both are smiling, and it
looks like both of them have forgotten they’re in the middle of a party. As I watch, Nikki leaps into
Robins’ arms and he growls possessively before walking away from the party, his mouth firmly
attached to Nikki’s.
“Want to bet she’s marked tomorrow?” Sophie asks.
“I feel pretty confident that she will be. But if you want to make a wager and you want to make it
worth me losing, I’m happy to take that bet,” I say, Jooking down at her. Her eyes darken as she
looks up at me.
“I’m not sure I’m prepared to make another bet. My mate hasn’t yet shown me all there is to sex and
our sexual positions,” she says in a mock pout.
“Oh, my little mate, you are poking the wolf. I hope you aren’t tired. If you want new positions, I can
keep you up all night long, have your screaming until you can barely breathe and your voice is
gone, have your body quivering from my touch, my mouth, my fingers, and my c****k. I can make
your body so sensitive that I could make youe just by blowing air on your nipples,” I say, my
voice getting much deeper with my desire for her. As I’ve talked, her mouth has opened, her eyes
have be ssy, and the scent of her arousal has begun to permeate the air around us.
“Is that what my little mate wants?” I growl, leaning in so I can hear her soft gasp.
“Yes,” she whispers.
I stand, taking her hand and turning. I nod to Lucas who smiles at me, then at Dutton who goes
back to his conversation with his mates before taking my mate upstairs and showing her everything
she wants to see for hours, long after she’s told me she can’t take any more, and long after her
voice ispletely gone from screaming my name, and from taking me down her throat as she
greedily sucked me off.
In the morning, I let her sleep as I get ready for warrior training, quickly showering the scent of sex
off my body and her arousal off my face before jogging downstairs. Lucas is dragging himself to
training, looking exhausted, but happy. I notice his mate mark looks freshly re-marked. Robin shows
up a few momentster, also exhausted and wearing a new mate mark.
Cha Haymees:
“Congrattions!” I say, pping him on the back.

“Thank you, it feels good to have her mark on me and mine on her.”
“Does this mean she’ll be joining us at themittee meeting this week?” I ask.
“Do you really think I could keep her froming?” he asks, raising his eyebrow.
“Not any more than I can keep Sophie froming,” I say.
Dutton is noticeably absent from this morning’s training and even if he did mark his mates, I’m not
sure they would be joining us for themittee meeting. His mates are definitely more skittish than
Sophie and Nikki, but I’m pleased that they seem to be giving their trust to Dutton.
Penny joins us for warrior training and since Sophie isn’t here this morning, I get a chance to see
her skills. I hadn’t intended to, but I end up sparring with her, testing her strength and skill. What she
