Chapter 127
The Council by Cooper (Jara & Mason)
Mason
I’m so f*cking ecstatic that I can hardly stand it. I want to jump around, all over the world, doing
cartwheels and shouting to the rooftops that my mate, my amazing mate, is giving me the second-best
gift that she could give me. The first was herself and now the second is a pup.
Title of the document
After Seth’s announcement that Hana is pregnant with a female, Jara begins crying and as I’m wiping
her eyes, I hear her mother step up to the phone. She must be in Alpha Luke’s office.
“You mean to tell me that I go away for one weekend and in that time my daughter finds out she’s
pregnant and my daughter-inw finds out she’s having a girl?”
“Sorry mom.” Both Jara and Hana say as one. I’m d to know I’m not the only one that wanted our
mates on the call today. Of course, it could also be that we were without them for the weekend, but I
think it’s more than that. We need to talk about these she-wolves in Alpha
Emanuel and Alpha Conrad’s packs and from what I’ve seen of our alliance members, we all value the
input of our Lunas.
Seth gets started with our agenda. “Let’s start with Kira and McKenna, the G*mmas who came from
Alpha Shawn’s pack. How are they doing?” He asks. Before Alpha Luke can speak, Jara’s mother
jumps in.
“Well, I just got here, but so far, they aren’t good. G*mma Kira has rejected her mate and she’s
suffering because of it. McKenna, Brynn and Melinda are with her and we’re taking turns making sure
she’s eating. But it will take some time for her to recover.”

“Does anyone know if he has to ept the rejection?” Elder Jason’s voice says through the phone.
“Why would he?” Jara asks.
“In the olden days of mates, both mates had to reject each other before the bond was severed, or at
least one had to reject, and the other had to ept the rejection. Times have changed, so I’m not sure
if that’s the case any longer.”
“I guess we’ll find out, but for now, I know Alpha Luke has requested that these two stay in his pack and
Brynn and I agree. If Kira decides that she wants to go somewhere else when she’s stronger, then we
can discuss it. But for now, Alpha Luke is treating them well and they are as happy as they can be here
given the circumstances.” Nina says.
“Thank you, Nina.” I hear Alpha Luke say.
“Thank you, young man. Your momma would be proud of you if she were here.” I hear Nina put her
hand on Luke’s shoulder and I have to think that Luke got choked up by her statement. Thankfully for
Luke, Seth jumps back in. “Does anyone disagree with G*mma Kira and G*mma McKenna staying in
Alpha Luke’s pack?”
No one disagrees. “Okay, if or until they decide they want to leave, they will remain in your pack Alpha
Luke.”
“We do have one other issue to discuss on this matter before we move on.” Nina steps in again.
“What’s that mom?” Seth says and I can tell he’s smiling at his mother taking over our meeting.
“Alpha Shawn has a bunch of warriors watching and periodically attacking Alpha Luke’s pack.”
“What’s the frequency of the attacks and have you lost any of your men?” Alpha Antonio asks. He has
the pack closest to Luke.
“So far, they’ve attacked four times, two overnight and two more times today. I have some men who
were injured in the first wave, but no casualties on our side. We have taken out several of Alpha
Shawn’s men though.”
“Elder Jason, what are your thoughts about the other packs sending reinforcements to Alpha Shawn?”
Asher asks.
“I’m not sure. We’ve never had the division that we have between the packs right now. But I’d say that if
they can, they will. Between the four of them, they only have 250 pack members.” He says.
“That’s double my pack’s size if they all attack at once.” Luke says.
“They wouldn’t send all of their pack members, not to mention, not all of them are adults. But it would
be better to make sure you have reinforcements. If Seth, Antonio and I each send 25-30 pack
members, that will bump your numbers over 200. That should make it a good enough deterrent for
them to stop attacking.” I say.
“And if not, it’s enough to take them out.” Davis says.
“Are we all in agreement to send reinforcements to Alpha Luke?”
We all agree.
“Next item of business. Alpha Gunnar. Mason, can you give us your update?”
“After Luke told me about Elder Colton leaving his pack, I received a call from Alpha Gunnar. Elder
Colton ran to his pack and Gunnar is now saying that he owns the council. Elder Jason, I would expect
that they will try to push you out.”
“So, you’re saying that the four Alphas that went against us at the annual meeting now have four of the
five Elders in their back pockets?” Antonio asks.
“That’s what I’m saying.” I tell them. “And, worse, Gunnar is saying that he intends to change thews
and bring things back to the way they should be.” I say. “Meaning what?” I hear Annabel ask.
“Based on what I’ve heard from G*ma Kira, they are nning to make she-wolves not much more than
s*e*x ves, allowing all ranked m****rs ess to having s*e*x with any she-wolf in the pack until
she’s pregnant.”
I hear the whimpers of Annabel and Mignon before I hear the low murmurings of their matesforting
them.
“We won’t allow that to happen.” Seth says.
“How can you stop it?” Mignon asks quietly.
“We rebel against the council. We already knew that they weren’t doing their jobs, no offense, Elder
Jason.” Jara says.
“None taken, Luna.” He replies.
“So now, if they can’t recognize our value to the packs, then the council will fall and we’ll go in, by force
if necessary and take theirst remaining she-wolves. Or at least give them the option of staying. It’s
possible that some she-wolves may not mind having a reverse harem. If their mates have passed away
or they aren’t bonded like we are to our mates, they may find it beneficial to their status in the p**k.
Either way, we need to remember that it’s their choice, but if they want out, we get them out.”
“We need to know how many more she-wolves we’re talking about and how many of those are
underage.” Quinton says.
“I’m not sure it will matter, based on Brynn’s a*s*sessment of Alpha Shawn’s pack. Melinda is only two
and the pack members were already giving her looks that made Brynn ufortable.” Jara says.
“Celeste said the same. Of course, her daughter, Juliet, is thirteen. But she said that she wouldn’t leave
her daughter alone because she was afraid the pack members might take advantage of her.” Hana
says.
“That’s disgusting.” Annabel says.
“It is and if it’s the same in Alpha Emanual and Alpha Conrad’s packs, we need to help those she-
wolves get out of those packs.” Davis says.
“What about Alpha Jonas. Does anyone know anything about his pack?” Jara asks.
“No, but it will be interesting to see which side he falls on. I hope it’s ours, even if he doesn’t choose to
join our alliance. I would hate to think that we’ll have fight him too. He has potential.” Asher says.
“So, how do we find out about the other she-wolves?” Quinton asks.
“Actually, I may have an answer to that, but I need to step away. It’s possible one of those she-wolves
is at my borders asking for sanctuary.” Alpha Zaire says. He isn’t gone long. “The two she-wolves from
Alpha Conrad’s pack just came to my borders. They have asked for sanctuary, and we are providing it.
I had my pack members ask and they are the only she-wolves in Alpha Conrad’s pack. I’ll know more
tomorrow, but I feel that we need to get home. Gia and I will be heading back to our pack in the
morning.” Zaire says.
“We understand. Please update us as you can.” Seth tells him.
“So, we need to see if the other Elders try to push Elder Jason off the council. And if they try to block us
from checking on the other packs. As of now, the only packs whose she-wolves are unounted for
are Alpha Emanual and Alpha Jonas.” Seth summarizes.
“We can reach out to Alpha Jonas.” Hana says.
“Yes, depending on his response, we’ll have a better idea of which side he’s leaning toward” Jara adds.
“You’re not going alone.” I say, wrapping my arms around Jara’s stomach protectively.
“Of course not.” She says, leaning back against me and easing my concern.
“Ourst item of business today is Alpha Typhon. Mason, this is you again.” Seth says.
I fill them in on finding Typhon’s den, my pack’s inability to find him and the council’s unwillingness to
help.
“What you need is a tracker, Alpha. And I have the best.” Quinton says.
