The Claiming by Cooper

The Council Chapter 47 Jara

Jara

When we got to Alpha Quinton’s pack, we found out that Alpha Luke and Alpha Zaire’s packs had been attacked. I was exhausted but I told Alpha Quinton that if anyone called to give us an update, I wanted to know.

It wasn’t until the next morning that we finally got word. About the time that Mason and Seth dragged themselves into Alpha Quinton’s small packhouse, exhausted and nearly dead on their feet, the phone rang. Both Alpha Luke and Alpha Zaire had defeated the attackers from Gunnar’s packs. Both had some losses to their pack members, but both said they killed more of Gunnar’s remaining groups’ packs than they lost in their

own.

When Seth asked, we found out that none of the dead included the Elders, or the remaining Alphas. Mason filled them in on the situation over at Alpha Davis’s pack. Ira had caught Typhon’s scent of rotten flesh. So, while we had originally thought the attack on Davis’s pack was from Gunnar and his men, it ended up being a coincidence that Typhon blew it up at the same time that our alliance was fighting Gunnar’s on three other fronts.

The packs made plans to bury their dead. Alpha Emanuel’s dead pack members were piled into a hole and the bodies burned. Jonas left pack members there to make sure that the forest didn’t catch on fire. When we heard that the fighting was over in Luke and Zaire’s packs, he called his men back, knowing Gunnar would be checking in with Emanuel. By now, we’re sure he knows that one of his alliance’s packs has been decimated. Now, we just wait to see what he does next. The alliance has men watching each of the remaining three packs non-stop.

The next month goes by in a haze. Davis divided his pack between ours and Seth’s. Quinton didn’t have the space that was needed to house that

packhouse. It will take a couple of months, but all of the alliance’s packs

I had worried that she would regress because of the bombing. Then I was concerned that the large number of wolves in our pack would scare her. But she stays close to the people that she feels safe with, myself, Elijah, Lewis, Stella and

if Typhon is also suffering the same, then he, too, is out of his mind, but singularly focused on Jara. I can’t say what would have happened to the Alpha that attacked Layan if he had survived, but when they brought him out of the territory, he was

why try to kill

None of the bombs went off on the side of the house that you were in. I know the

chaos everywhere, people devastated at the loss of their home, that you could have easily been taken without anyone realizing for

but they struggle with being around the male pack members. They also have a hard time with me allowing my daughters to go off alone with the pack members. I’ ve had both Katerina and Sophia speak to them, but they won’t
