The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 88

Mason

While I love how excited my pack is to have Jara here, it’s making me antsy that they want to be so close to her. I know that will settle the longer she’s here, but we’re newly mated and after fighting so hard to get her, it’s hard to be comfortable with so many unmated males around her, even if they are my pack members.

After she kisses me in front of my pack, the echoes of their excitement in my ears, I feel better. She made a point to give them what they needed, her attention and touch and then she showed everyone that she belongs to me. It went a long way to soothing my unease.

Title of the document

When we walk inside the packhouse, I see her looking around, a*s*sessing the space. I’m very interested in knowing what she thinks but I want to let her digest it all first.

I lead her up the stairs to the third floor in the center of the packhouse. This is our space. The only rooms in this section of the house are mine, or ours. It overlooks the pool, the forest and the mountains in the distance. There are other third floor rooms, but they don’t connect. Elijah has a section of rooms on the right side of the house and Joe and Stella have a section of rooms on the third floor on the left side of the house. The second floor runs the entire length of the house, and our warriors and omegas live there.

The first floor has a living room for pack events, dining hall large enough to seat nearly 300 individuals, a huge kitchen that runs nearly non-stop every day, offices and conference rooms. In the back yard there is a large pool for relaxing and behind that is an area for training. Beyond that, you get into the forest and the mountain range. The pack lies on 100 acres of land, mostly in the mountains, so our wolves can get lots of exercise and have room to run.

We drop our things in our room. “Feel free to make this room yours. Obviously, it’s only been me since I became Alpha, and I want it to feel like home for you too.” I tell her.

She doesn’t say anything, just continues to a*s*sess. When she’s done, she turns back to me.

“Can you show me the rest of the packhouse?” She asks.

I take her through the levels, explaining everything to her and answering any questions she has as we go.
