The Claiming by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 30

Mason

I hated leaving Jara in the state she was in, but I knew her brother and Hana would help her. I immediately go to the pack hospital letting them know that Layan is coming in and that she is in bad shape. Then, I head to my room and dial the council headquarters.

When the secretary answers the phone, I ask to speak to Lead Elder Theodore.

“May I ask who is calling and what this is in regard to?” The secretary asks me.

“This is Alpha Mason and I want to file a formal complaint against Elder Carson. There has been an incident at this year’s Claiming, and he needs to be removed from the event. Now, put me through to Elder Theodore before I have your job for delaying me.” I bark at the man just as Elijah walks into the room.

“One moment, Alpha Mason.”

I put my hand over the receiver. “Did they get her to the hospital?”

“Yes, they’ve admitted her and taken her in for surgery.”

I nod as I hear the phone being picked up. “This is Elder Theodore. What is this I hear about an incident at the Claiming?”

I proceed to tell him about what just happened with Lay an. Then 1 go on to tell him that 1 and other Alphas have had concerns about this Alpha but when I tried to express those to Elder Carson, he ignored me and the warning signs.

“Where is this Alpha now?” He asks me.
