Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Xander

It’s going to be Chassy’s 19th birthday tomorrow. It’s been a year since she found out that she’s my mate, and I can still remember how she looked when she saw me. I asked her to be in my bedroom so she would know that I was his. She doesn’t normally go around the pack house because I forbid her from doing so. She only needs to work in the kitchen and the backyard, the places where I don’t go.

Yes, I didn’t want to smell her scent because I was sure that I was going to go crazy. Imagine years of knowing she’s mine, but I can’t even touch her. It’s killing me, but I constantly reminded myself that she was still young, and I thought that it would not help if I was going to tell everyone about that.

I was on the training ground when I suddenly felt a pain in my chest, and I almost made myself go down on my knees. “Alpha, what’s wrong?” My beta Limuel asked,

“It’s -” I couldn’t tell him; I didn’t want to admit that Chassy had already found someone.

“Don’t tell me–” he said, but I glared at him. “Dismissed!” he shouted, and the warriors had started to leave. I could feel their eyes on me, and I knew that they were curious about what was happening to me. “Let’s go,” he said, and he helped me walk our way to my office.

“Xander,” he said. The pain had started to subside. I guess they didn’t do it all the way.

“I’m fine now,” I said,

“Are you going to be like that from time to time? You know that it’s not going to be good if this happens frequently.”

“I know that. What do you suggest I do?” I asked,

“Why don’t you accept–”

“No! Never!” I shouted. I didn’t want to. “I am going to wait for her. I know that we will be able to see each other again, and we will be together.”

“But don’t you think that this is going to start the pain that you had to go through?”

“She suffered more than me. I was stupid and had no idea what was going on with her in my pack. Do you hear that? She was supposed to be under my care, and I should be protecting her because she’s my mate! But I had no idea that she was being bullied by my pack members until she was gone!” I shouted. This is frustrating. I happened to stumble upon Omegas, who was talking about her in the kitchen and overheard them talking about their mates. They were happy that she was no longer in the pack.

Out of anger, I yelled at them, even though I had never done that before. I made them feel small when I told them that they were worse because they too have no wolves and they didn’t know that Chassy had it. I don’t know that either, but because of what the moon goddess had told me-that she would be fighting in a war-I was sure that she would surely have her wolf.

“Alpha,” Jack said as he got in. “It appears that the new Luna of the Silver Moon Pack is Alpha Jay’s adoptive daughter.”

“How did he get one?” I asked curiously. The pack extended an invitation to us to attend the ceremony, but I had to decline because I needed to take care of the problem in my pack. It was the first time that a vampire was spotted on our border, and I didn’t feel good about it.

“Well, the adoptive daughter has her father with her during the ceremony. I just forgot to ask the name, but they all said that she was beautiful.” Jack answered.

“She had a father, and Alpha Jay still adopted her?” I asked, and he nodded. “Well, I don’t think we have time to think about that. What happened to your mission?” I asked, and he sat down.

“Are you sure you want to talk about it now? Shouldn’t we talk about yourself first?” Limuel asked.

“Why, what’s wrong?” Jack asked worriedly.

“I had a feeling that Luna was already with another man,” my beta answered, and Jack looked at me full of concern.

“No, it was nothing. They didn’t go far.”

“For now, how about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?” Limuel asked. I know that he was only worried about me as well, but

“I have no intention of accepting her rejection. I am not going to do that. I believe in what the moon goddess has told me, so I am going to wait.”

“You don’t even know whether it was true or not!” Limuel exclaimed,

“I know that it was true. It should be!” I shouted back.

“Xander, you know that we are only concerned about you, right?” Jack asked. I nodded my head because I knew that very well.

“I am your alpha; believe in me. I know that she’s going to come back to me and us. Your Luna will find her way back to us.” I told them with conviction. They sighed and nodded their heads. I knew that they wouldn’t be able to understand me since they had not found their mates yet, but I had to be firm in my decision.

After that conversation, we continued running the pack. They are both my best friends, and I know that they only want what’s best for me like I do for them.

‘Alpha, another vampire spotted.’ Limuel’s mind linked me. Those leeches are not going to stop. Just what do they want from my pack?

‘I’m heading there now.’ I replied and got up from my seat and went out. Limuel has been patrolling the border regularly since the first time we spotted one of them a year ago. It has been two years, and I am still waiting for Chassy to come back. I still didn’t hear anything about her, and, I admit, I started to lose hope. But my wolf, Rion, always stops me.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

When will I ever see her again? A question that, until now, I had no answer to. “Where?” I asked when I arrived. Limuel and three of my patrol guards were together.

“There,” he replied, motioning for me to look at his 2 o’clock. There, I found a vampire. He was standing by the tree and was looking at us as well. “He had not made any move and was just standing there,” Limuel said. Then, after a while, I saw the vampire smirking at me. He was mocking me for something that I didn’t know.

‘Stay and don’t make any moves. He’s going to leave now.’ I mind-linked everyone, and just as I’ve said, the leech left.

“Continue your patrol and guard every border diligently. I don’t want any of our pack members to get hurt or be taken away by them.” I commanded them before Limuel and I got back to my office. We need to talk about the vampire sightings that have been happening for a year now. I feel worried about my mate. What if she comes back and the problem with the vampires escalates?

In my office, Jack was already there, waiting for us. “Alpha,” he said.

“Sit down and let’s talk about the vampires,” I said,

“Yes, but first, I want to inform you about the Silver Moon Pack’s invitation for the new alpha oathtaking,” he said. I looked at him, and I started to wonder why there were some occasions that happened to the pack every year. I wanted to attend, but we have to take care of our problem first. No matter how intrigued I was about what was going on in their pack, I had my priorities. I don’t think I will have any kind of problem with them, since I already know how good they are.

“Just tell them that we are facing some difficulties right now. We can’t just ignore those leeches.” I replied, and he nodded his head. Then we started our meeting and ended up forming alliances with different packs that had encountered the same incident as ours.

We started to do pack visits, and what I didn’t expect was to see someone I had been waiting for for almost three years, six months after we decided to make an alliance.
