The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 47

Mason

I knew, when I heard Jara ask Alpha Luke to stay behind, that she wanted to spend some individual time with him. It hurts, but I also know she isn’t yet mine. I have to bide my time and I know he’s my biggest competition.

But that doesn’t mean that I can’t still take care of her. I know she must be hungry. She’s been sparring for hours and fighting against several Alphas, so I can send her some food and make sure she’s fed. While I’m at it, I order food for Alpha Luke too. In any other situation, I’d like him, but he’s my competition here. That doesn’t mean 1 have to be an a*s*s. So, I send food for both of them.

I go up to my room to shower before returning to the dining hall. I notice Typhon stalking around, growling and grumbling. I don’t miss it when he and his entire pack rise and walk outside. I look around and realize everyone else saw it too.

I’m up and moving before anyone else. I know what this means. He’s after Jara.

I hear him before I see him. He’s obviously pushing the limits of the claiming rules by trying to force Jara into spending time with him. As his pack stands behind him, I move to stand behind Jara, ready to support her. I needn’t have bothered. As always, Jara is glorious in her anger. 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.
