The Claiming by Cooper

“Alpha! It’s here.” Elijah, my Beta says, coming into my office.
I set aside my paperwork and take the envelope, noticing the significant size difference from any other year’s claiming package. I’m not surprised, every eligible male in my pack signed up. Since everyone will have a chance to hunt a mate this year, it’s our best opportunity knowing that no one will be eliminated from the Alpha female’s pool of claimants.
I open the paperwork, looking over the candidates. Most of my pack members have no expectation of winning the Alpha female, not with me and Elijah in the hunt. But there are four other females this year, the largest pool of females in years. Usually, there is one, maybe two. Five is practically unheard of. Add to that an Alpha and Beta female? It will be a fucking blood bath.
I glance over the list of names. I have sixteen warriors and ten omegas going this year, twenty-eight in total when you add in me and Elijah.
My Gamma is older and was lucky enough to catch his mate ten years ago before the pool of females dwindled to the dangerously low number we are facing today. Elijah and I have both gone every year since we turned 18, and other than the Alpha female three years ago who was also open to all eligible claimants, neither of us have been called in the lottery of claimants.
As I continue to look over the list of other Alphas that I’ll be competing against, I see his name. “Fucking bastard.”
“Who?” Elijah asks, watching me across my desk. I look up at him.

has changed significantly and often. With Alphas going feral every year with no successor, Betas and Gammas have taken over as the next ranked wolves. However, it’s becoming even more common that now those Betas and Gammas that have taken over the Alpha roles are going feral. It’s caused a mess with pack dynamics, alliances and fighting among
males. It’s why I know that this year will be bloody. There

But with over 200 wolves going into the claiming territory at the same time for the Alpha female, most will be lucky to get out with their lives.
