Chapter 20

Jara

Alpha Mason will be the death of me. After our social gathering, I couldn’t focus on anyone else over dinner. Several times I had to have the claimants at my table repeat what they had said to me.

The more I get to know him, the more I think I’d be willing to take him as a mate. He is intelligent, s*e*xy, powerful and isn’t intimidated by my strength. I love his idea that maybe having a strong mate like me could make his pack stronger and keep his pack members from going feral.

Title of the document

After dinner, it’s what I’ve begun to call ‘open season’ social time where the claimants vie for our attention. Thankfully, the omegas have their group and only the 20 in their lotteries are able to spend time with them. Hana and I are stuck with the rest which, after losing several through the fighting over the last few days, still leaves Hana and I with roughly 150 split between us trying to gain our attention. I’m thankful for Luke who is constantly by my side.

It feels enough like a tug-of-war with them all fighting over me, but Luke stops it when it gets to be too much.

When the evening begins to wind down, I lean closer to Luke. “Is there a rule that I am not allowed to have one of the claimants walk me back to our house?”

Luke gives me a knowing look but has the decency to not say anything. “To my knowledge, there is no rule about you being escorted back to your housing by a claimant of your choice as long as that claimant is not in another’s lottery and as long as you agree that I stay close enough that I can see you. Your safety is my primary concern until you go into the claiming territory.”
