The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 47

Mason

I can’t help but snicker when I see Typhon forced to submit to her.

It makes me wonder if she could make my wolf submit to her. I know once I’ve claimed her, he will submit to her every whim, that’s expected. But in a show of force? I may have to see if she’s willing to test that. It would be interesting to see just how strong her wolf is.

Or, maybe, and the thought has my wolf snarling in my head, she wants to see what it feels like to be with someone else. To see if what we have
