The Claiming By Cooper

The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 70

I wanted her this year and….well, next year I have another chance to claim her.”

I don’t think I could be more surprised by this statement. Most ranked members would consider her damaged, mentally and physically. I had even wondered if anyone would enter her claim next year.

He smiles at the memory. “And she responded. It made my heart feel so full. I felt powerful in a way that I never had before, having the ability to calm her like that.” He looks up at me and I can see the sincerity in his eyes.
