The Claiming by Cooper

Chapter 102

The Council Chapter 9: Mason

Mason

The next morning, we arrive at the conference room ready to take on the other Alphas. We decided that Seth and I would take on the petition for changing the claiming process and Hana and Jara would take on the petition for the Luna Council.

I let Jara know that we needed to meet with Alpha Davis after the meeting ends today, or maybe at lunch time if things don’t get too crazy this morning.

As we get our coffee and get settled, Elder Jason comes in, moving to stand at the front of the room. We get settled and he comes forward.

“Good morning everyone. Today we have three petitions that we need to address. Of note, there are two that seem to be in direct conflict with each other, so I’m sure that there will be some discussion about the direction of our packs in the future.”

He turns, pulling my petition from the table behind him. “The first petition has been submitted by Alphas Mason and Seth. They are proposing to change the way the annual claiming process is handled.”

“Of course they are.” I hear Gunnar growl under his breath.

“This petition has six sections. We will go through each one individually and discuss it before moving to the next. Any questions?”

When no one has any, he continues.

“The first part of this petition states that ‘Assessments will happen

within one month of the claiming’.”

“Is there enough time to complete assessments for a couple hundred claimaints within one month?” Elder Stanley asks.

“It would depend on how many claimaints there actually are for the claim and how many assessors we have. Now that we have fewer packs and fewer werewolves, I think it could be done.” Surprisingly, it’s Elder Carson that agrees that this is possible.

There are a few other questions, but this is pretty straightforward. It was meant to ensure the safety of the she-wolves as much as possible, but it’s already a requirement, it just shortens the timeframes for completion.
