Layan’s Return by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 32

Jara

When Davis comes out carrying McKenna, along with the other Alphas, I hear Elijah’s low purr of happiness. I can feel it through our pack bond. He is now the only ranked member in Layan’s claim now. The odds of him being able to claim her are high.

Title of the document

It was a much shorter hunt than I was expecting, only a few days. I check McKenna over and even though it’s been a short amount of time, she looks like she hasn’t eaten since she got into the territory.

“I think missing that first day really set her up to get caught more easily.” Davis tells me, looking at her. “Honestly, she’s been crossing her scent trails, doubling back on them, but it was too late. Once we were in the territory, there were too many of us for her to try and avoid.”

“How did you catch her?” I ask him, turning to walk toward the packhouse with him as he carries her inside.

Davis gives me a smug smile. “The other Alphas chased her right into my arms.”

I shake my head at him. “Do you want me to send some food up to you?” I ask him. “No, I’ll wait and eat when she gets up. For now, I just want to get her tucked into bed. I feel the need to be close to her.”

“I understand that.” Mason says, coming to stand beside me and wrapping an arm around me.

“How long were you out, Luna?” He asks me.

I look at Mason, who looks at me. “Several hours. But Jara almost made it out of the claiming territory, and she didn’t have food for most of those days.” He tells Davis, his eyes never leaving mine.

Davis starts to walk up to his room. “Have Luke and Katerina emerged yet?” He asks.

“No, but we’ve heard them moving around, so we know she’s awake.”

He nods. “I’ll talk to you soon, then.” He says.

“Davis?”

“Yes, Luna?”

“Congratulations!”

I know we’ll be happy together.” He says before walking
