The Claiming By Cooper

The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 83

Mason

The next time we wake up, I know I need to feed Jara. She didn’t eat enough yesterday, and I need to meet with Elder Jason today. Most everyone will have left or be leaving as this year’s claiming is over. I sent Elijah back already, knowing I have a different plan that I still need to discuss with Jara.

When I open the bedroom door, prepared to go downstairs to get food, I see there is already some waiting for me. Thank you, Hana.

Title of the document

I get the food set up at the table and I’m just finishing as Jara wakes up. She sits up in bed, letting the sheet fall to her waist. She’s so sexy that I feel myself getting hard, just looking at her. She rubs her eyes with the heel of her hand before pushing her messy hair out of her face.

I walk over to her, knowing that she isn’t quite awake yet. Her eyes move to me and go wide before she reaches for the sheet.

“Don’t. Don’t ever hide from me.” I say, as I get to her, taking her hand in mine and kissing her knuckles.

My sexy mates stands in front of me, naked in all her glory. I lean down, kissing then gently nipping her marking spot. “Time to eat.” I whisper.

“What are you offering me. Alpha?” Oh, my mate. She is definitely going to keep me on my toes.

“Real food. If you’re still hungry later. I’ll give you something you can put in your mouth.”

I take her hand, pulling her to the table. “I’ll definitely be hungry later.”

I grab my t-shirt and pull it over her head, before sitting her at the table.

“Eat.” I say before taking the seat opposite her.

The minute she takes her first bite, she realizes how hungry she is, and she begins devouring her food.

I watch her for a moment before beginning to eat mine as well. “So, Jara, I wanted to talk to you about a couple of things.”

I begin watching as she looks up at me, chewing her food and swallowing before responding. “What kind of things.”

“First, I need to meet with Elder Jason today. He wanted to meet with me, and I have some questions for him as well.”

She shrugs. “I can come with you.” I didn’t really want her to, not until I knew for sure if Typhon was alive, but I had told her no lies between us and I wouldn’t keep this from her.

“I need to find out if Typhon is dead.” I say, watching her closely. She nearly chokes on her food before grabbing her water and washing it down.
