The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 101: Scouts Margot

There is absolutely no grey area between how Joshua kissed me and how Ezra kisses me. Their kisses are as opposite as you can get. Joshua always kissed me as if he was reminding me that he was in charge, that he was in control. Ezra's kiss was... inviting. It was soft and warm, gentle and sweet. I had waited for him to push me, to take control and force his tongue into my mouth like I was used to with Joshua, but that wasn't how he kissed me at all. It was almost as if he was asking me to kiss him back. And once I did, it felt like I melted into him.

I wouldn't think that his scent of eucalyptus and cedar would translate to a taste that I desired, but it does. It's masculine and fresh, much like him. I had been teasing him when I said he needed a shower, not because he smelled bad, but because the scent of the dried sweat on his body from our sparring only increased his scent making it hard for me to think when he was that close to me. And my body had never, ever responded to Joshua the way it responded to Ezra's when he whispered in my ear. His deep voice, his warm breath, his scent swirling around. us had made my body feel alive for the first time in my life. But I can't let that distract me. Ezra seems like a good man, a really good man. I know he lost a mate and that he blames himself for that, which is probably why he's trying so hard with me. But it's a lost cause. I can't give him what he wants and while I'm sad to know that what we could have had might have been able to turn into something positive over time, I won't be around to find out. I have no intention of letting Joshua live and

I know that it will kill me. I may be getting stronger, but I'm not that strong, not yet and maybe not ever.

I know my ex-mate. He'll be doing everything he can to weaken me so that he can punish me for rejecting him. I may not be able to feel him cheating on the bond, but I know that my wolf, Reyna, should be healing faster than she is. Our bond isn't

completely broken so anything he does with another woman will weaken her.

I wonder what he felt when Ezra kissed me. That, more than anything, will bring him to Hunter's borders.

These are the thoughts running through my head as Ezra and I run across no man's land to get to Owen's old pack. Reynal loves the run, but I've realized that Ezra is right, not that I'll tell

him that. He somehow seems to know just how far to push her so that it works out the tightness in our muscles but doesn't overwork them.

When he slows, turning his head to give me a soft woof, Reyna slows as well.

'Reyna, what is it?' I ask her.

She lifts her head in the air, trying to smell what Ezra is smelling. His wolf, Thorin, is at full strength, so we take our lead from him. He would smell something, even if we don't. Ezra made a point to run closer to where I told him the hiding spot is at the top of the mountain. It may take us a bit longer to get to Owen's pack this way, but he was more worried about keeping me safe.

That's something else that feels different between Joshua and Ezra. Ezra is very protective of me, worried about me, constantly -thinking about me. In the last year, Joshua only seemed to care 22.52%
