Mason

The last couple of months have been crazy. I leave the packhouse most mornings to go to Alpha Davis’s to help rebuild their packhouse. The outside is done, that part was easy. The inside has been slower going, but it’s almost there.

When I get back, I have dinner, talking with Elijah about what happened during the day at the pack, then I spend some time with Jara and my pup before crawling into bed and falling into a deep sleep.

The first couple of weeks after the explosion and battles, I worked with Elder Jason looking for information on Typhon. He seemed surprised that I figured out why Typhon was so focused on Jara. But I need to know what I can do to protect my mate, so I have a vested interested in learning everything I can.

After he went back to Alpha Saul’s pack, he began to put together the structure for the new council. He agreed that it should stay with five members and that two of those should be she-wolves. He reached out to Jara’s parents, sat in on the she- wolves meetings to get their input and ideas of who might be interested in sitting in on the council and then asked around for other elders in the

packs. My Gamma Joe and some of Jonas’s pack members were identified as possible options for the council.

In the last month, Elder Jason has been interviewing members for the new council and has finally decided on the five. Now, it will be the Alliance Council, not the Elder Council. We no longer identify with the laws and rules identified from the previous council. The new council will have to review all the old laws and determine

which ones we’re going to keep, and which ones will be retired. Then they will look into the laws that were presented at this year’s Alpha meeting

and re-evaluate the ones that were not approved.

I’m on our monthly alliance call and Council member Jason is about to set the council positions out for a vote. In the end, we decide not to have couples on the council, since there are so few seats, so Phillip, Jara’s father was chosen and Stella, Joe’s mate was chosen. One of Jonas’s pack members, Brooks, was chosen and so was Gia, Alpha Zaire’s mate.

They will begin meeting regularly. Because of the risk to Stella and Gia, they will not try to take over the existing council’s place but will create their own space to meet. Elder Jason is going to try to go into the council to collect as much information as possible. If they can’t find the information, they will have to start from scratch.
