Chapter 126
The Council by Cooper (Jara & Mason)
Jara
The next morning, Mason is beyond attentive. I warned him that I was nauseous but it’s already better,
havingid on Mason all night. He had the kitchen send up some cr*ckers, and before I get out of bed, I
eat a few.

Mason follows me into the shower, nuzzling me, bathing me, in general pampering me in every way
possible.
When we go downstairs walking into the dining room hand in hand, I shouldn’t be surprised, but Mason
immediately stands in front of the room.
“Mason.” I hiss at him.
“Yes,e stand with me, my love.” He says, taking my hand and pulling me up beside him.
“That’s not what I meant.” I whisper to him, but he’s not listening. I can tell through our bond that he’s
beyond excited and can’t wait to share our good news with our pack.
“I have an announcement to make.” He says and the room goes quiet. He looks down at me and his
eyes are filled with so much. love. “Your Luna has informed me that she is pregnant with our pup.”
The room erupts with howls, cheers, people pounding on the tables and the chairs. Mason leans down
to kiss me softly, before I lean my head against his chest, looking out over my happy pack members.
When the noise level finally dies down, the questions begin.
“When will we know if it’s a boy or a girl?”
“How far along are you?”
“Do we have a due date? We need to n a party?”
The pack’s excitement is contagious, and I’m thrilled that they are all so happy. Mason raises his hand.
“Your Luna and I will be making an appointment to see the pack doctor.” He nods in his direction, and
the pack members begin pping him on the back, as if congratting him on being the doctor that
gets to provide the pack with great news.
“We will keep you informed as we get information and I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that sparring with
Jara is now off limits.” Everyoneughs at that.
“On a serious note, I’m also sure I don’t have to tell you that now, more than ever, we need to be
diligent and ensure that Typhon does not gain entry into our pack. We flushed him out over the
weekend, but that only makes him more dangerous until we find him.”
They flushed Typhon out? Mason didn’t tell me that. Of course, we were too busy having our own
celebration, but it sounds like we have some things to talk about. “I will also be having an alliance
meetingter today and after that, I will have more news to share with all of you. But, in the meantime,
know that we have some friction with some other packs. We will be putting in extra safeguards to
ensure that they do not have ess to our pack. I’ll be giving a list of those packs’ names to Beta
Elijah and our Lead Warrior so we can monitor their potential threats.
Any questions?” He asks, still holding on to me.
“Okay then, it’s a day for celebration! Dr. Johns, pleasee see me.” He says and the room erupts
into cheers again.
We make an appointment to see Dr. Johnster this afternoon, before we sit down to eat.
Breakfast is a festive affair. Everyone is excited and wants toe congratte us. When we finally
head out of the dining hall, the whole pack is buzzing. “What time is the alliance call today?” I ask as
we head back to Mason’s office. “Another hour. Did you want to sit in?” He asks me.
“Maybe, but why don’t you tell me about Typhon before the call?” I tell him.
He tells me about finding his den and putting patrols on it to watch for him, but no one has seen him.
“So you think he’s watching the pack, watching me?” I ask. Instinctively, my hand goes to my stomach.
I haven’t known I was pregnant very long, but I already feel very protective of my little one.
“I do, and that’s why I’ll be putting a guard on you whenever you aren’t with me. Please don’t fight me
on this. Before you were pregnant, you could shift and run or at least fight in your wolf form. Now, you’ll
not only be stuck in your human form, but you’ll be trying to protect our pup, so you won’t be able to
fight at full force.”
“I won’t fight you. I want to protect our little one just as much as you do.” I tell him. Hees over,
lifting me out of my seat before sitting down, tucking me into hisp. “I thought I understood Asher’s
protectiveness before with Mignon, but I didn’t. Knowing that I now have the two most precious people
in my life right here, it’s intolerable that I wouldn’t be able to keep you safe. So, I’m warning, you now,
Jara. I’m going to be protective, probably overbearing, at least while we have two threats against us.
Please be patient with me but understand that I won’t back down. Your safety and the safety of our pup
is everything to me, and I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe, even if that means you and I have
to argue about it.”
I roll my eyes at him. “Fine, keep me safe. Keep our pup safe. Twist my arm. But make Lewis my
primary guard while we’re in the pack. He’s doing great, barely showing any signs of feral-fever and I’d
like to keep it that way.”

“That’s fine. Elijah said he was impressed with him over the weekend. But I’ll need to add a couple
more so they can take shifts and still gets some sleep. Anyone else that you specifically want or don’t
want on your guard duty?” He asks me and we talk about it, deciding who my guards will be until it’s
time for our call.
Seth starts the call, weing everyone and letting us all know that there is a lot to discuss. Before he
starts, he asks if anyone has anything to say before we start.
Mason jumps in. “I do.” He says, nuzzling my neck. He moved to a new seat, but he still has me in his
lap. “Jara let me know that she’s pregnant, so now three of our mates are pregnant.”
The Alphas all cheer for my pregnancy until Alpha Antonio interrupts. “Actually, all four of our mates are
pregnant. Annabel let me know when she returned home this weekend that she too is pregnant.”
We all cheer again. This is excellent news. “Have you learned the s*e*x of your pup, Seth?” Mason
asks him.
“We have, we went this morning. We are having a little girl!” More cheers from the group. It’s a beautiful
day, knowing that we’re all happily mated, pregnant and at least two of us will be having girls.”
I know it must be the hormones already kicking in, but I begin crying happy tears that Mason gently
wipes away.
