The Claiming by Cooper

Chapter 185

Layan’s Return Chapter 30: Katerina

I wake to the scent of chocolate peanut butter fudge. My mouth begins to water and my stomach grumbles. I know I should get up but I’m so comfortable and warm.

I lay there a moment more before reality returns and I try to leap out of bed. Strong arms hold me where I am.

“Where do you think you’re going, my little mate? I caught you, you’ re mine.”

I turn and look at Luke, my mate, over my shoulder. His warm brown eyes, like melted chocolate, are watching me. I bite my lower lip. This sexy man is mine, or he will be when I sink my canines into his marking spot.

I roll over, running my hand over his arm. His bare, very muscular arm. I feel something stirring in my gut.

“How long have we been asleep?” I ask him:

“Considering the run you gave me? Not long enough.”

I can’t help but laugh. I’m pretty proud of myself for outsmarting a group of fifty men, three of whom were Alphas.

He leans forward, kissing my nose. “So, you wanted it to be me, huh?” He asks.

“I did.” I shrug. “I feel comfortable with you. Safe, happy.”

“Good. You are safe and I want you to be comfortable around me, always. And your happiness is now my second greatest concern.”

I frown. “What’s your first greatest concern?”

“Feeding you. I have no intention of suffering the wrath of the Lunas because I didn’t feed one of their own when I claimed her.”

Now I laugh out loud. “Are you afraid of a few Lunas, Alpha?”

I’m afraid of them. They are a force to be reckoned with and now you’re one of them. And Luke. I’m yours now, Katerina. Call me Luke. Please.” He says,
