Chapter 133
The Council by Cooper (Jara & Mason)
Jara
I’m excited to meet Isabe. I don’t know what it is about her, but her voice, her confidence even over
the phone, is obvious. She said her daughter is a warrior, which doesn’t mean that she’s doesn’t have
the blood of a ranked member. It just means that a warrior caught her in the iming, which isn’t
unheard of, but it is unusual, especially if she is descended from a ranked bloodline.
Title of the document
When we get to Alpha Jonas borders, we are weed and one of their patrols escorts us to the pack
house. I get out, looking around. Where my packhouse is tucked up against mountain side, his is
actually in the mountains. From here, you can see down into the valley below and up to the snowy
mountain peaks. It’s a beautiful area.
Alpha Jonases out of the pack house to greet us with what I can only call a morous woman
beside him. She’s older as I expected, closer to my mother’s age than mine. But she’s so beautiful, it’s
hard to tell her true age. What is obvious is that she exudes confidence and s*e*xuality.
The patrol that guided us here heads inside and kisses Isabe on the cheek as he passes her. I look
to see if Alpha Jonas will act jealous, as it seemed clear on the phone that they were close, but he
ignores them, keeping his eyes trained on me and my group of guards.
“Alpha Jonas.” I say, walking up to him, my hands extended. He takes my hands and busses a kiss on
both of my cheeks.
“Luna Jara. Let me introduce Isabe, you met over the phone.”
“Yes, of course.” I turn to her as I go to shake her hand, she pulls me into a hug. “Sorry, I’m a hugger. I
hope you don’t mind.” She says.
Iugh. “I don’t mind. Has Hana arrived yet?”
I see both hers and Alpha Jonas eyes go unfocused.
“She’s just reached our borders. Come, let us get you settled so we can enjoy this beautiful sunny
afternoon once your sister-inw arrives.”
She hooks her arm through mine and expertly guides me into the packhouse leaving Alpha Jonas to
greet Hana.
“We’ve put you in the guest wing. I hope that’s alright. We figured that this way, your guards’ room
would surround yours and that might help your Alphas feel morefortable while you’re here in our
unknown territory.
“That is very thoughtful of you, thank you.”
“Well, with both of you pregnant, and with she-wolves no less, we want to make sure that you are well
looked after.”
“Again, thank you.”
I drop off my things, making sure that Elijah and Lewis are in the rooms on either side of me. They are
my day guards, so they will be sleeping when I am.
I’m just finishing up when I hear Hanaing down the hallway.
“Jara!” She says, rushing to hug me.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
I hug her, then step back and gesture to Isabe. “This is Isabe. Isabe, meet my sister-inw,
Hana.”
“Hello.” Hana says and is pulled into the same hug that I was pulled into “Your room is right across the
hall from Luna Jara’s and your guards have rooms on either side of you as well. This way all of your
guards can protect you together. Of course, we don’t anticipate anything happening, but one can’t be
too careful.” She says to us.
“You are wee to wait for us, Luna Jara, or you can head downstairs. I’ve had the omegas put out
some refreshments for us.’
“I’ll wait, I want to call Mason and let him know we’re here safe and sound. He’s feeling a bit…”
“Overprotective?” They both ask at the same time, making all of usugh. “Exactly. I’ll be quick.”
“Not to worry, I need to call Seth too, but I’ll be quick. From the brief glimpse I got, your packnds are
gorgeous.”
“They really are. I was lucky to be imed by a man who lived here.”
“Where is your mate?” I ask, wondering at the familiarity she has with the other pack members.
“He died, many years ago. A bear attack.”
“I’m so sorry.” I say, not meaning to bring up a sensitive subject.
“It’s okay. Over time, I learned to care for Bradley, but we were never in love. Not like what I see in your
eyes when the two of you talk about your mates. I’m very interested in hearing more about the changes
that you are nning. Jonas has told me some of it, but I’d like to hear it from you.”
“I’ll let you get settled and then Patrick here will show you to the veranda. It has a spectacr view of
the snow-capped mountains.” She says, and she stops, kissing Patrick’s cheek as she passes, his arm
wrapping around her waist as she does so.
I look at Hana who has the same look of confusion on her face. I turn, going into my room and calling
Mason to let him know I’m here before heading out. Hana walks out of her room at almost the same
time, and we follow Patrick to the veranda.
When we get there, Isabe is reclining on a lounge chair, her feet crossed at the ankles and a tall
ss filled with an icy drink in her hand. Another
man, one that looks a lot like Jonas is sitting on the chaise facing her. “Lunas, let me introduce our
Beta, Jared. He is Jonas brother, but he is the younger of the two. He’s an excellent Beta.”
“Lunas, I heard we were hosting some very important people overnight. No one warned me that you’d
both be so beautiful.” I smile, so Jared is a flirt. I feel Elijah step up behind me protectively.
“Careful, Jared, both of these she-wolves are pregnant with a she-wolf pup, by their mates. Their very
protective mates.” She tells him, eyeing Elijah’s position next to me.
“Forgive me. I didn’t mean anything by it Lunas. It’s my nature to flirt. I hope I didn’t offend either of
you.”
“Not at all. Don’t mind Elijah, he’s my Beta and like you, he’s excellent at his job.” He nods his head at
Elijah. “I hope that one day, I will also have a Luna to protect.” Jared says to him.
“It’s definitely fulfilling, and on asion, entertaining.” Elijah says, teasing me now. I swap him with the
back of my hand. “Stop telling my secrets, Elijah.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it, Luna.” Jared turns, leaning over and taking Isabe’s mouth in a passionate
kiss. Now I’m even more confused.
“I’ll see youter, beautiful.”
“Yes, you will.”
We sit and Isabe pours us a lemonade from the pitcher on the table. “My daughters will be joining us
soon. They are off frolicking with the pack.” She says. Hana and I look at each other. Her willingness to
let her daughters go with the pack members speaks volumes to the type of pack this is. If she’s not
worried about them, then this pack is probably doing well with their she-wolves. “I’ve seen the looks
you two are giving each other. I should start by telling you that since I lost my mate, I have developed
something of a polyamorous rtionship with the men in this pack.”
“All of them?” Hana asks, echoing my shock.
“Most of them. Sometimes it’s afort for them when they need it, other times I enjoy my time with
them, as with Jonas and Jared who I frequently spend time with, and sometimes it’s because I like a
little excitement. A reverse h*arem situation, if you will.” She says, watching us as she takes a sip of
her drink. “A reverse h*arem, meaning you sleep with more than one at a time?” I ask. “Well, that is
sometimes the case, but it means more that I’m in a rtionship of sorts with many of the men in this
pack.”
“How does that even work?” Hana says. I’ll admit, being with Mason doesn’t give me a lot of time or
energy to be with anyone else. I can’t even fathom sleeping with a second person who might have his
level of stamina. I nce over at Elijah who is actively NOT looking at me, but his lips are twitching.
Isabeughs, a lovely sound that I notice has many of the men in her pack turning their heads toward
her, smiling.
“Well, you have to be open to it. Literally and figuratively.” She says, a mischievous look in her eyes as
she sips her drink again.
I burst outughing. “Oh, I think we’re going to be great friends.” I tell her.
“I do hope so. I was a bit worried, especially hearing what you said about the other she-wolves, but
Jonas told me that what they are experiencing isn’t voluntary. I can a*s*sure you, that everything that I
do in this pack, is with my full consent.”
“Cheers to that, sister.” Hana says, reaching her ss over and clinking it with Isabe’s.
