Lost and searching

Chapter 4 - Alpha Mason

MASON POV

I was sitting in my office starting at the invitation in my hand, I'm unsure why I haven't thrown it out like I do every year. I have never been interested in the claiming ritual my pack is the largest and most feared in the country we didn't need the help of some stupid ritual to boost our numbers. My pack members could find females to satisfy them within the pack. I am 26 years old and I have plenty of women to satisfy myself with none of them worthy of becoming my Luna but I didn't need the distraction of a mate and as my father always taught me mates are a weakness. So why hadn't I thrown out the invitation my wolf was stirring restlessly within scratching at the surface. I decide to go for a run and to throw the invitation out when I return. 

Bursting through the office doors I'm half shifted as I exit the large pack house taking off towards the woods trying to shake off the uneasy feeling currently fighting its way through my body.

 I mind link my latest w***e Betsy "I want you in my bed ready when I get back from my run" I hear her agree and then block everything else off. My wolf growls with distaste he hates the constant rotation of whores but I ignore him, I need them to release tension. I cant have anyone seeing me as being weak. I have a huge pack and with that come a lot of responsibility. Everyone of my pack members is trained to fight from a young age, weakness is not something that is tolerated and I must lead by example. I don't allow anyone close to me with the exception of my Beta Harry he is like a brother,  we grew up together he is the only one I trust fully.

"You did what?!" Harry asks in utter shock .

"I told Alpha Alexander that the Blood moon pack would be attending this years claiming" I stated without a humour in my voice.

"I herd you the first time I just thought you were kidding, you have always said that it was a ridiculous tradition that you wouldn't waste your time with?"

"I'm not explaining myself to you I'm asking you to get me a list of our weakest females that are of age, this is the perfect opportunity to weed out some of the weaker members. Also a list of our strongest male fighters this might just be the perfect opportunity to find them some entertainment that could also add some value to the pack". Without waiting for his response I turned on my heel and headed to my office, the claiming was just a week away, I had to prepare.
