The Claiming By Cooper

The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 49

Mason

I’ve never been so close to losing control of my wolf. Not even rea*s*sessment pushed me to this limit. But Jara’s willing submission to me nearly has my control snapping. It’s only her sweet voice, whispering my name that has me reining in my wolf before I do something I can’t undo. I can’t lose her, not when I’m so close to making her mine.

When I finally pull back, hoping her wolf recognized my wolf s acceptance and show of love for her, my body is still shaking. Jara holds me until the tremors finally settle.

“Give a guy some warning next time.” I say, chuckling.

“Sorry?” She says, but I know she’s not, and I’m glad she’s not.

She submitted to me, willingly. That’s more than I could have ever asked for in this situation. And I want to make sure she understands what it means to me. What she means to me.

“I’ve fallen in love with you, Jara. I know I shouldn’t have. I know things are crazy right now and I know you may not feel the same…”

Her finger comes up to my lips, effectively stopping my word vomit.

“I love you too, Mason. I don’t know if I realized it before tonight, but I know it now.”

I feel like my heart is about to explode. She loves me too. She loves me, and she wants me to be her mate. Nothing and no one will stop that from happening.

“You are mine, Jara. In less than a month, everyone will know that you are mine.”

“You still have to catch me, Alpha.” She says, teasingly.

I can’t help the growl of pleasure at the thought of catching my mate.
