The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 24

The night before Mignon enters the claiming territory, we all sit around in our living space. I decided to make some popcorn and try to bring a festiveness to the event. I could tell that now that it had become a reality, the girls were starting to get nervous, especially Mignon.

So, we put on our pajamas and sat around eating popcorn until late into the night. While 1 didn’t think Mignon would sleep, I didn’t want to keep her up unnecessarily. She needed to be awake enough to check out the territory tomorrow.

Hana and I look at each other. “We have some time to figure something else out.”

When we arrive at the main house, the energy and tension in the air is palpable. Mignon, Layan and Annabel all move closer to me and Hana. As ranked members, it is natural for omegas to seek our protection when they are frightened.
