The Council Chapter 42. Mason

Mason

When I meet up with Jonas and Isabella to finalize our plan to attack Alpha Emanuel’s pack, Jonas is different with me, more relaxed. I’m not sure what happened when my mate visited his pack, but Jonas is much more agreeable to being part of our alliance. I’ll have to ask Jara about it when I speak to her.

The she-wolf, Isabella, is something else. I haven’t been around older she- wolves a lot in my life. Lately, it’s only been Luna Nina, but Isabella is……..wow. She exudes sexuality. If I wasn’t a happily mated man, I might have tried to persuade her to my pack and my bed.

But I have the perfect mate and a little girl on the way, so no matter how incredible this woman is, she doesn’t hold a candle to Jara.

We’re meeting with the groups that have been in place watching Alpha Emanuel’s pack for the last several days. They still haven’t seen a she-wolf but they give us the general lay of the land and the patrol schedules as they’ve seen them over the past few days.

“How many wolves have you seen? Does it look like there are a couple hundred or less than a hundred?” Jonas asks the lookouts.

“Less than a hundred.” One says.

“Definitely.” Another says.

I look at Jonas. “If you lay down a gauntlet to your enemies, do you leave the area where you laid the gauntlet unprotected?” I ask him.

“Never.” He says.

“So, where are they?”

“It could be a trap.” Jonas says.

“Or a diversion.” Isabella says.

Jonas and I turn to her. “What?”
