The Claiming by Cooper

Chapter 106

The Council Chapter 13: Mason

It’s been a long day and since none of us intended to be here another night, there are no planned activities. We decide to go out to dinner again. After speaking to our small group, they all want to do something on their own, spending time with their mates. Works for me.

Jara and I find a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant where we can sit and talk.

Once we order food, Jara jumps right in. “What do you think of Alpha Gunnar?”

“I think he’s got an ulterior motive. I just haven’t been able to figure out what it is yet.”

“Do you think he’s planning to overtake his minions’ packs

eventually? And what’s with raping the she-wolves? Do we know if he’s close to going feral?”

“The thought occurred to me about the others’ packs. If he sets it up the right way, he could absorb them and make it look like an act of friendship when in reality, it was an act of aggression. A well thought out act of aggression.”

“And the she-wolves?”

“I think he’s desperate. He was in both yours and Hana’s claimings this year. He didn’t catch either of you, although, I think he was one of the ones that had Hana surrounded when she leaped into Seth’s arms.”

“So, if he can’t claim them properly, he will take them by force. It’s too much like Typhon. When we pass the rest of the petition rules, I’ll want to go to his pack, his and Alpha Emanual.”

“So, Emanual got under your skin today?” I tease her. He put himself on my radar as well.
