The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 30

Mason

After finding Typhon’s den, I left some warriors to watch it in case he came back. I also sent some others to search in the surrounding areas. I hadn’t been looking this far away from the pack. I thought he would be closer. Now, I needed to rethink where he is living and how he’s getting around.

After hearing from Elijah that Lay an wasn’t doing well, I hadn’t expected to hear too much from Jara and 1 didn’t. However, it was good to hear from Seth. He told me of the conversation that Hana and Jara had regarding the packs trading men so that the ones who are getting closer to going feral can spend time with our mates and the other she- wolves in the pack.

Title of the document

It’s a brilliant idea. It keeps our mates at home with us and still helps the other packs keep their males from going feral. It has the side benefit of all of us getting to know the others’ territories so in the event that we are ever attacked and need to help another pack, we’ll be more familiar with each other’s pack lands.

“Do you think the others will go for it?” Seth asks me, pulling me from my thoughts. “Our alliance is still young.”

“Davis is already feeling the benefits of having them around. So, he can vouch for it. He hasn’t seemed to mind having our guards come and stay either.”

“Mom said things with Quinton are relaxed and casual. Once he saw the impact that they were having, he’s been thrilled to introduce them to all the members of his pack. Granted, their packs are considerably smaller than ours and even Luke’s. Those are the three we need to worry about, since they don’t have any ranked she-wolves.”

“Agreed. I talked to Jara about Luke’s request to have someone come to his pack to a*s*sess his men.” 1 tell Seth.

“Yeah, Hana said she and Jara spoke about that too. They are thinking that next weekend, maybe Annabel can go and either take mom again or Brynn, if she and you are willing to let her go.”

“It’s fine with me, but I’ll have to ask Brynn and Luke about going. I’m guessing the other three will be back to see Layan?”

“Yes, that’s the plan. She still needs a lot of care. It’s going to be a while, Mason. And, 1 know Asher said it last week, but I felt it too when we got here. It took everything in me to not go to her and try to help her. It’s in our blood as Alphas and especially since she’s an omega, she calls to that protective side of us. She responds well to the others, but she responds most to Jara.”
