Chapter 86 Jara
Jara
When we get downstairs, we join my parents, Seth and Hana at our table. The atmosphere in the pack is excited. More excited than I have felt in my life. As I look around, I re- alize that Mason was right. Having a Luna will make all the dif- ference to the pack. It may not keep all of them from going feral, but it will keep them from going feral so young.
Having my mother as a Luna for so many years ensured that many of our pack members reached middle age before going feral. I can only hope that having Hana will make it even better.
Later that night, I watch as the pack looks at Hana as if she is their savior and I guess in some ways, she is. They all happily accept her as their Luna and I watch as they crowd around her, wanting her aura to wash over them. I can see that Seth is struggling to have so many unmated males so close to his new mate, but from an outside perspective, it makes sense to me. It’s Hana that will soothe their feral-fever. She will, quite literally, keep them sane.
Seth’s pack is a bit smaller than Mason’s, at around 150 pack members. The two packs together make up nearly one- third of the remaining population of werewolves. It makes me wonder if I can expect this same level of focus from Mason’s pack-members when we arrive. I guess they are my pack
members now too.
After the pack congratulates her, Mason and I make our way up to them.
“You’re going to be an amazing Luna, Hana.” I tell her.
“I hope so. I don’t want to let Seth or your parents down.” She says, glancing over at Seth as he talks to Mason.
“You won’t, for that very reason. This pack is strong, but you will make them stronger. I’m only now starting to realize the impact that we as Lunas have on our packs.”
“There’s almost a desperation in them to be accepted by me, isn’t there?” She asks.

“Yes, I saw that too. It makes me wonder what I can ex- pect from Mason’s pack members when we arrive tomorrow.”
“It was a bit crazy when we got here yesterday. The entire pack came out to greet me. It was like they all wanted to touch me.” She says, looking out over her pack.
She turns and looks at me. “You know how when we’re in wolf form, omegas and pups come over and want to rub themselves on us, want to rub their heads under our necks showing their submission, their love?”
I nod.
“It felt like that, but with all of them. It was like they all wanted my acceptance, to show me their love all at once. Needless to say, Seth wasn’t having it.”
“It will take time I’m sure the first few weeks will be ex- hausting for you. My mom will help you though, so that’s good.”
“Oh my goddess, here I am complaining, but you won’t even have a mother-in-law to help you.” She says turning to
me.
“No, Mason’s parents are gone. But his G*mma has a mate. I understand they are a bit older, and she was an omega before she mated a G*mma, but I’m sure she’ll help me.”
I look around the pack again. “Actually, I’m glad I was here to see how they are with you. It is preparing me for my arrival tomorrow. And this group had me here until a couple of months ago, so they shouldn’t be as needy as Mason’s pack. I’ m guessing his pack members, my new pack, will want even more of my attention and show of love.
The party goes late into the night. At one point, Mason pulls me into his lap, wrapping his arms around me.
“Ready to do this again in a couple of days?” He asks me.
“Yes. I am definitely ready to start my life with you, our life together.”
He looks out over the crowd of happy pack members. “You know, we haven’t talked about it, but you’ve taken my knot a couple of times already.” His hand comes to rub over my stomach.
“You could already be carrying my pup. But if you want to wait, we need to be more careful. It could already be too late, but we should have that discussion sooner rather than later.”
I turn in his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. “What do you want?” I ask him.
“At the risk of sounding sexist, I want you popping out my pups every year for years to come.”
I can’t help it, I throw my head back and laugh. When I look back at Mason, his eyes are t*inkling with his happiness, his smile warm and inviting. “Well, what my Alpha wants, my Alpha gets.” I say, my voice deep with my desire for this man.
His eyes darken and he leans in nuzzling my nose before nipping at it gently. “Then I think you should continue to take my knot as often as you can.”
I turn my head, rubbing my nose against his cheek. “I defi- nitely think I need more practice, Alpha.”
