Chapter 104

The Council Chapter 11: Jara

Jara

The morning had been long and arduous. I’m beyond ready to take a break when they tell us to take time for lunch.

Mason takes my hand, looking at the others at our table. “Let’s go find a quiet spot and grab some lunch. I have something I want to share with our Lunas.”

Before we leave the conference room, Hana grabs me. “Jara, I’m so sorry. I really wanted to tell you first, but…”

“It’s okay. I’m really happy for both of you.”

“Thank you!” She looks at Seth and Mason, before lowering her voice. “Wouldn’t it be great if you were pregnant too and our children were raised together?”

“We’ll hope for that.” I tell her and mean it. Our children will be cousins. They should grow up together as friends.

We all make our way to the dining room in the hotel. Thankfully, they have a table large enough to seat us all. I’m surprised when Mason asks for a table for ten rather than eight.

“Mason, who else is joining us?” I ask, just as Alphas Davis and Quinton walk up.

“Alphas, please join us.” Mason says and we all sit down.

He waits until we order our food and drinks before he turns to me.

“I invited Alpha Davis to join us because he is Layan’s Alpha. I thought maybe you would all like to hear how she is doing. But I have to tell you,” he says, looking at each of us, “it’s not good.”

I turn, looking at Alpha Davis. “Tell us.” I say quietly.

So, as Alphas, we could entrust the care of our mates to each other, sending one of us to look out for all the mates while the four of you go to see Layan.
