Chapter 47 I Will Choose My Mate

• Jordan
• Well, that took me by surprise. Damien had just done the thing he was preventing himself from doing. Staking his claim on the mate bond. It is a very big deal indeed. When mates meet, and one does not stake his claim to it, the mate bond will eventually die out. Carter, Seth, and I have all felt the bond starting to die away, which is what I am sure has probably forced her heat. By claiming her, officially, his words vibrated through the entire pack link, who now, officially, know Ember will be the Luna with the four of us. I could feel Ember's acceptance of his claim, though she was asleep. It ran through our entire pack line as if a super-charged rush of energy enveloped us, then left. I looked at him with pride. It was time he stopped denying himself of her anyway. I looked back at Ruby, who turned just as red as her name in anger. Her own son just threatened to kill her. I smirked.
• " You would as well accept it now, Ruby. Ember belongs to the four of us, as I am sure you just felt, and we are not letting her go. Threaten her again, and the words won't leave your lips before your blood is pouring down my lips." I told her in a cold voice. Franklin growled at me but I meant everything I had said. He stood up and took Ruby's hand, leading her out the room. He paused at the door, turning to Damien and I.
