The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 76

Jara

I’ve never seen two Alpha wolves fight before. It’s as terrible as you would imagine, worse because one is my intended mate, and one is my sister’s murderer.

When I realize that Mason’s wounds are weakening him, I prep myself Typhon won’t claim me, but he also won’t be leaving this cliff face alive. One of us will kill him.

Title of the document

When Mason tosses him to the edge of the cliff, I know what I have to do. I send up a silent prayer to my sister. ‘This is for you, Mila’ I think before tossing him into the air, letting him fall to the ground below.

I immediately turn back to Mason, expecting him to try and claim me. Instead, he drops to the ground, his eyes falling closed.

I take in his wounds and realize he’s losing too much blood. I race over to him, checking his pulse. It’s faint, but it’s there.

I grab him under his front legs and begin dragging him closer to the watering hole. His wolf is huge and if I wasn’t an Alpha wolf myself, I’d never be able to move him.

When I get him close enough, I grab my shirt and dip it in the water, beginning to wash his wounds. He’s still in wolf form, so it’s hard to see exactly where’s he’s bleeding. As the blood starts to wash off his body, I can see multiple injuries, but the worst is the stomach injury.

I focus there, washing the wound and pulling the skin together until I see it starting to heal. Once I feel comfortable that his worst wound is healing and he won’t bleed out, I start washing oil’ the rest of his body.

When I get to his neck, I hear a low growl coming from him. I lean down, putting my mouth close to his ear.
