The Council Chapter 36 Mason

Mason

Quinton’s tracker, Ira, arrived the next day. I went with him to show him where we’d found Typhon’s trail and his den. He began tracking Typhon but even I could tell something was wrong. After a day, we called it and headed back to the pack.

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I’ve never seen or smelled anything like it. It’s like he’s all over the place, doubling back on himself, crossing his lines. I’d say it’s to throw someone like me off this trail, but there’s nothing organized about it. It’s chaotic, disjointed. I’m happy to continue trying, if you’d like. I’ve never had someone evade me before, so honestly, I’m a bit offended that this guy is doing such good job of it.” He told me.

“When you say it’s chaotic, what do you mean?” I ask.

“It’s just….like it’s not intentional. Like he can’t figure out where he wants to go.” He sighs, running his hands through his hair. “I know that doesn’t make any sense.” He says.

“Actually, it might. Elder Jason is arriving tomorrow, and I’ve asked him to pull information on feral-fever and the claiming haze. I’m wondering if Typhon hasn’t fallen victim to both of them.”

Ira frowns. “But shouldn’t he have come out of the claiming haze by now?”

“He should have, but what if it mixed with his feral-fever?” Now it’s my turn to run my fingers through my hair in frustration. “I honestly don’t know the answer, I’m guessing here too. But his behavior isn’ t normal, and he seems almost fixated on Jara.”

“Like I said. Alpha. I’m happy to stay on for a couple more days, if

you’re willing to see if I can pick anything up.”

“I’d appreciate it.” I say before turning off and heading to my room. I’ve been away all day and want to check in on Jara.

Before I can get to the stairs, Elijah comes up to me. “Alpha, do you have a minute?”

“Is it important? I want to check on Jara.”

“It is, but you can meet me in my office after you check on her. Luna went to bed early, she said she was tired.”

That stops me. “What did she do today that wore her out?” I ask.
