The Council by Cooper (Jara & Mason)
Jara
“Now, back to your question, Alpha Jonas, it’s because those Alphas are mistreating their she-wolves.”
Mom goes on to exin what has been happening, how Gamma Kira rejected her mate and how
another she-wolf ran with her pup to Alpha Zaire’s packnds.

“So, what he said during the council, that wasn’t conceptual, it was already in practice?” Jonas asks.
“Yes, and ording to Gamma Kira, it was only going to get worse.” My mother states.
It’s quiet for a moment. “Please continue.” Alpha Jonas says.
“The council has made decisions based on a few, not the majority. It was only a couple of weeks ago
that we were all together and voted for the newws. I don’t know what the rest of you think, but if the
council does not work for the majority of us, then the council does not work for me.” Seth says.
“I will not be ruled by someone who thinks that he cane in and overthrow our ways just because
he doesn’t agree with them. Alpha Gunnar very clearly told me that he is in charge and he makes the
decisions for the council now. I am with Seth. If the council is being run by a tyrant, then I refuse to
acknowledge them as the leaders of me and my pack.” Mason agrees with Seth.
Alphas Asher, Antonio, Davis, Quinton and Zaire all agree.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
“What do you propose? We cannot all live independently of each other and still have uniformity in
things like the annual iming.” Alpha Saul says.
“And having an alliance is great, but if my rules and your rules don’t align, does that mean that we are
no longer in an alliance and are now at odds?” Alpha Jonas asks.
I look at Mason, and he winks at me. He already has a n for this. Of course, he does.
“Seth and I had a few moments to discuss this. We have an idea and I will rify that no one other than
the two of us have heard this proposal yet.” Mason says, looking at Elder Jason.
“We propose to the group that Elder Jason create a new council. One from our packs, one that will
provide oversight and ensure that our rules are followed. One that will also help us createws to
protect our she-wolves and ensure the continuation of our species.” Mason says.
I’m not sure what he sees on my face. Love? Awe? Appreciation? Whatever it is, he smiles at me
before kissing my nose.
I turn and look at Elder Jason. “Elder, what do you say?” I ask.
“I….well, I’m honored, but I’ve never created a council.” He says.
“Oh, fooey. You’ll be perfect at it and if this group recognizes that about you too, then I’m in the
alliance.” Alpha Saul says. I swear I hear a soft ‘finally’ in the background.
I look at Mason and he’s smiling. He heard it too.
“Sounds like Tessa is d you finally figured it out.” Alpha Zaire says, chuckling. “What about the other
she-wolves?” Asher asks.
“We need to at least know that they are safe and being well-cared for.” I say. “You’re not going, Jara.
It’s too dangerous. I’m not risking you and our pup.” Mason says firmly.
“You’re pregnant, Luna?” Alpha Jonas asks.
“We all are now, Alpha.” Annabel says. “Since the Alpha meeting, both Jara and I found out we were
pregnant.”
There’s another beat of silence. “That’s unheard of.” He finally says and the disbelief in his voice is
clear.
“That’s why we are insisting on changing things, Alpha. We believe that if the she- wolves have a say, a
choice, in who ims them, it makes them more open, more willing to conceive.” I tell him.
“It makes sense, Jonas.” Isabe says, and I don’t miss the familiarity with which she speaks to him.
“So, we need a n to get to the she-wolves in Alpha Emanuel’s pack.” Seth says. “And we need a
she-wolf to go with you. If they are in the same situation that Brynn, Kira and the she-wolf in Alpha
Zaire’s pack were in, they will not trust a maleing to take them.”
“I’ll go.” My mother says.
“I’ll go too.” Isabe says.
“Issy.” I hear Alpha Jonas say. Oh yes, definite familiarity there.
“It’s time we choose a side, Jonas, just as Alpha Mason said. I hope we will be in agreement on this. If
my daughter is going into the iming next year, I intend to make it a better environment for her than it
was for me. My mate and I finally found a way toe together, but it wasn’t easy, and it took years for
me to conceive Katerina.”
I hear his sigh through the phone. “Fine, but if Issy is going, then I’m sending my warriors to the fight as
well.”
“The more the better.” Antonio says.
For the next hour, the men decide how many of our warriors will attack, how many will stay to guard the
she-wolves in case they send a counterattack, and they decide that the attack will take ce during our
visit to see Layan next weekend. “That gives us plenty of time to get into ce, do some
reconnaissance, see what we may be up against and hopefully enough time for them to be
comisant.” Alpha Zaire says.
“Let’s n to reconvene before the attack. Elder Jason, in that time, please give some thought to how
you would like to structure a new council and if anything happens in the meantime, we’ll alle back
together.”
Everyone agrees and we’re about to disconnect when Isabe speaks again.
“Now, when do I get to meet you fine young women?” She asks.
“Alpha Jonas’s pack is on the way to Alpha Davis’s from here. Hana and I coulde by and meet you
on our way to see Layan this weekend.”
“That would be lovely. n to stay a night. You can meet my daughters and Laney while you’re here.”
I look at Mason who shrugs. “As long as you are okay with me sending several guards for my mate,
Alpha Jonas.” He says.
“Mine as well.” Seth adds.
“I would expect nothing less, Alphas.” He says before we all disconnect, ready to prepare for the busy
week ahead.
