The Claiming By Cooper

The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 50

Jara

The next few days go by in a blur. I move my social gatherings outside as the sounds from inside the claiming territory are starting to come more frequently. The howling, growling and yelping can now be heard at all hours of the day and night. We continue to watch, but no one exits the claiming territory. I’m not sure if Annabel is giving them a good run, or if Alpha Antonio is eliminating his competition. Possibly both.

I’ve noticed a change in Mason. While he makes a point to brush against me every chance he gets, letting me know that he meant what he said the other night, something else is going on. When he walks me back at night, he’s been tight lipped about it, saying that he’ll tell me when he can.

“I’m not keeping secrets from your Jara. But there are too many ears in this place. I need to be careful.” He said to me last night.

I’ve also noticed the way Typhon leers at me from a distance. Since my social gatherings are outside, he can easily find a way to watch me, even though he isn’t able to join in. It’s creepy and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.

One evening, when Mason is walking me home, he suddenly turns to me, taking me in his arms and kissing me deeply. I hear a snarl nearby and move to pull away, but he holds me against him.

“Typhon.” He whispers against my lips, and I begin to return the kiss ardently, leaning into Mason and moaning loudly. It isn’t long before I hear crashing through the bushes as Typhon leaves us.

“What a prick.” I say when we finally pull apart.

“I’ve noticed he’s got you on edge. Want me to kiss you during your social gatherings?”

I look up at him and can see the glint of challenge in his eyes. “The easy answer is yes, I’d love to feel those warm lips on me at all hours of the day. The harder answer is no. I’ve heard the rumblings about you already. I don’t want to make it worse.”

“Let’s go with the easy answer. I like it better.” He says before kissing me again.

The next day, I realize he wasn’t joking. I’m in the middle of one of my social gatherings, one that Mason isn’t in, I can feel Typhon’s eyes on me, making me irritable.

“Alpha Jara.” Mason calls to me from the edge of the social gathering. It’s been sectioned off so those in the gathering are clearly identified for the guards.

Mason beckons me with his finger, crooking it at me. 1 narrow my eyes at him. He wouldn’t.
