The Claiming By Cooper

The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 21

Mason

The frission of excitement I felt when Jara’s guard came to tell me she wanted me to walk her home tonight was quickly replaced with apprehension when I saw one of my pack members talking to her.

I wasn’t sure what it meant that he kept looking over at me as he was talking to her. The reality is, I would recommend any member of my pack members to her. I ensure that my pack members are good men, good wolves. He’s vying for her attention and surprisingly, she gives it to him. My curiosity is nearly eating me alive when I see her guard inform Jara loudly that it’s time to head back. While they are all saying goodnight, I slip out the back door, moving around the side of the house. Her guard had told me to meet them off to the side of where the cars are waiting for them. After they leave, he said he would have Jara join me.

I watch the omegas pile into their car, chittering away at the discussions they had with their claimants this evening. I smile at their excitement. That’s how it should be. Unfortunately, Jara and Hana are smart to be reticent about the process. It doesn’t always work to the female’s benefit. Jara’s sister, Mila, is a perfect example.

I watch as Hana and Jara come out next. When they get to the car, I step out of the shadows. I see Hana’s eyes widen before she looks at Jara.

“I’ve asked Alpha Mason to walk me back to our housing.” She tells Hana.

“That’s allowed?” Hana asks her.

“Apparently. There are a couple of rules, but nothing impeding you from doing the same. At least not until tomorrow.” Jara says to her.

“It would have to be one of my claimants.” Hana guesses.

“Or for me, someone not in another’s lottery.” Jara tells her.
