The Claiming by Cooper Book 3

Layan’s Return by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 41

Mason

I’m still flying high on the information that Jara and I are going to have another baby when Elijah and Layan emerge the next day.

Jara is still at the other house with the kids when they come downstairs.

“Good morning, Alpha.” Elijah says, his arm wrapped around Layan.

“Good morning to both of you. Layan, how are you feeling?”

“Good, Alpha Mason, thank you. Jara left food and Elijah made sure I ate.”

Layan looks good. Her eyes are bright, she has a little color in her cheeks, and she doesn’t look scared or fearful at all.

“Well, Jara hasn’t arrived yet. She is feeding the twins and will probably be here within the hour. Do you want me to find someone to make you breakfast?”

She tilts her head to the side, giving me a funny look. “Don’t you remember my time in your pack, Alpha? I cooked every day.”

“My apologies, Layan. That wasn’t a good time for me. There’s a lot about that time that I try to block out.”

“I’m sorry, you’re right. I shouldn’t have mentioned it.” She says looking down, and Elijah pulls her closer, kissing the top of her head.

“It’s fine, love. Alpha just meant that he didn’t remember that you cook, that’s all.” Elijah looks at me over her head and I know that look. Even if that’s not what I meant, he wants me to ease his mate’s mind that she hasn’t upset me.

“Yep, that’s it exactly, Layan.”
