The Council Chapter 21 Jara

Jara

When Layan finally stopped crying, we stepped back to give her some room. “I’m so sorry, Alpha Jara. I’m sure you’re here for something important. I didn’t mean to take up your time.” She says, sniffling.

“You’re right, Layan. We are here for something important. We’re here for you.” Hana says to her.

She turns, looking at all of us. “For me?”

“Yes. We’ve been worried about you, so we decided we’d come visit and have a pajama party, movie and popcorn weekend.” I say.

“And pizza!” Annabel says.

There’s a hint of a smile on Layan’s face at that.

“But, before we can have our party, you, beautiful, desperately need a bath.” I tell her, cupping her face.

“Oh!” She exclaims, her hand going to her hair as she looks down at her wrinkled, soiled clothes. “Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry, Alpha, Beta.” She says, looking at me and then Hana.

“Oh foo on that. We’re all Lunas now.” Mignon says to her.

Layan’s eyes go wide. “Lunas? All of you?”

She frowns, looking at Mignon. “But I thought Beta Asher claimed you.”

“He did.” She turns, looking at her mate lovingly where he’s

standing by the front door, watching but giving us space. “But then

his Alpha died, and he took over, making me a Luna.”

She turns, looking at Annabel. “Who claimed you?”

“Tony. Or you’d remember him as Alpha Antonio.” Annabel says.

“And you?” She asks Hana.

“Alpha Seth. So, Jara and I are officially sisters now.” She says, smiling at me.

She turns to me. “Mason caught me, but just barely. I almost made it out on my own.” I hear Alpha Asher snort behind me.

“Come on, we can talk while you get cleaned up.” I tell her, putting my arm around her shoulders and guiding her back the way she
