The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Jara

Mason and I decided to stay one more night. The house is empty, and we have it to ourselves. Mason had drawn a bath for me, then left, saying he needed to do something before he joined me.

He had put some bubble bath in it and somehow found some wine. The bathroom is full of candles, the water is warm, I have a glass of wine in my hand and bubbles all around me. I lean back, enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. The only thing I’m missing is my mate.

When he returns, he strips down and has me sit up so he can get in behind me. He pours himself a glass of wine, pulling me back against him.

“I could get used to this.” I tell him. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hmmm, we may need to order a new tub for our bedroom then. It only has a shower in it right now. It’s a large shower, both of us will fit, but I agree, we need a big bathtub for nights when we can just be together like this.”

I close my eyes, as he dribbles water over my body. “Tell me about your pack.”

“Our pack.” He corrects me, and I can’t help but smile.

“Our pack.” I say.

“Well, we’re at the foot of a mountain. It’s set far outside city limits and only gets the rare human hiker, so we have plenty of room to let our wolves run.”

He’s quiet for a minute. “I live in the pack house, which we can change if you want our own space. I have a floor to myself, as the Alpha, but because our pack has just under 200 pack members, most of them live in the pack house.”

“You’re packhouse is that big?” I say, turning my head and looking up at him.

“Yeah. We do have some individual housing, but for the most part, we’re a pack of single males. We live together so we can try to keep the feral-fever at bay.”

I’m quiet for a moment, trying to figure out how to ask my question. “How are you going to feel about me living in the packhouse with that many unmated males?”

I hear His possessive growl before he cuts it off. “You’re mine. They know that, and they will respect that you’re their Luna or they will find another pack. I should also tell you, that some of the omegas and warriors from Typhon’s pack approached me before we went into your claiming. They told me that they had been given the Alpha command to help Typhon catch you and to kill me. They told me they didn’t agree with your sister’s treatment but there wasn’t much they could do against an Alpha. They asked if I would accept them into my pack. I did.”

I feel Mason look at me as he says this. I don’t know how I feel about men who allowed my sister’s mistreatment to go on right in front of them, but I also know that an omega and even a warrior stands no chance against their Alpha’s aura or command.

“I’m not thrilled that they will be in our pack, but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. If they ever give me a reason to believe that they intend to harm me. I’ll kill them.”

His arms wrap around my waist. “Baby, if they ever try to hurt you. I’ll kill them before you ever have the chance.”

I don’t want our night together to be marred with heavy’ thoughts that we’ll have to face tomorrow, so I turn my head, nibbling on Mason’s earlobe. “Is that a challenge, Alpha?” I whisper against his ear.

“Oh no, love. A challenge is me saying I think I can make you c*um before you can do the same for me. Want to see who wins?”

I turn, straddling his lap in the bath, moving so the tip of His c*oc*k is at my entrance. “Oh, I intend to win, Alpha.”

“Good luck with that, Luna.” He says and I move taking his length fully inside me.

I may never back down from a challenge, but I have to admit, my mate makes it really hard to win. And even when I lose, I still win.

I take His knot again that night, in the morning he wakes me by sliding inside me from behind. This is another new position and I’m not sure I know which one I like the best anymore. Mason feels amazing inside of me, no matter which position we’re in.

He pulls out of me before he knots me and I turn my head, pouting. He nips at my chin. “Let’s get ready. I want to meet your parents.”

That gets me going. We shower, pack our things and as we’re leaving, I see Luke, my guard standing outside.

“Luke.” I say and race up to him, hugging him. “Thank you so much for looking after me. You’ve been great.”

When I pull back, I see him looking at Mason. “You didn’t tell her?” He asks.

“Tell me what?” I say, looking at Mason. “I offered Luke the job of being your personal guard. He agreed. He and his mate are moving to our pack.”

I turn and look at Luke. “You are?”

“Yep. And please don’t hug me again, Luna. My mate won’t like your scent all over me.” He says, putting his hands up, only somewhat joking.

“Well, when I meet your mate, you can tell her that she should be prepared to get a hug from me too.”

“We’ll see you at the packhouse. We can figure out where you want to live when you get there and get settled.” Mason says.

“Thank you. Alpha.”

We get in Mason’s car and turn out of the territory. I look out the window, remembering when I was coming in, how much I hated the idea of being claimed, how terrified and angry I was. And now, here I am, leaving the territory with the man I love, my mate.

Mason pulls my hand to his lips, kissing it. “What’s on your mind, love?”

I frown, looking at him. “Why can’t I hear your thoughts and you mine?”

“You’re not officially part of my pack yet. Once you officially take over as Luna, then we’ll be able to hear each other’s thoughts.”

He looks at me. “Jara? What are you thinking?”

“How long before the Luna ceremony?” I ask, wanting the mental connection.

“Are you concerned about what I’m thinking?” He asks, his lips twitching.

“No, I just want to be connected to you, in all ways.” He stops the car in the middle of the road and turns pulling me into a passionate kiss.

“I love you so much, Jara. And I want that too. So, Luna ceremony the day after we get to our pack?” He asks me.

“Sounds perfect.”
