Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Xander

With a hopeful heart, I expected Chassy to visit me the following day, even before our training call time. My intention wasn’t to engage in intimate activities with her, as I had decided to have an honest conversation about our past. Dranreb, her father, and the former alpha, Jay, had been pressuring each other to make her accept me, but I didn’t want to force her. I wanted her to come back to me of her own free will. However, my hopes were dashed when my beta informed me that she wouldn’t be able to come.

“Alpha,” Limuel, and Jack greeted me as I entered my office. We had a brief meeting before starting the day to ensure everything would run smoothly. “The Silver Moon Pack called and said Alpha Chassy won’t be able to make it today,” Limuel added. They both looked at me, perhaps trying to gauge my emotional state.

“Why? She must have a reason.”

“They didn’t elaborate, but judging from the urgency in Sims’s voice, I had a feeling it was an emergency,” my beta replied, making me worry. “Before you rush to their pack, let me finish first,” Limuel added. “He said his Alpha strictly instructed him not to let you go there because they could manage. Stay here and train the squad.”

“Are you commanding me?” I asked.

“That’s what Sims told me. He said his Alpha instructed him to convey it this way, so I did the same,” he answered, smiling with Jack.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“And what are you two so happy about?” I asked, annoyed. “And why was it so difficult to have a proper conversation with her?” I added while sitting, feeling frustrated.

“Don’t get angry. You don’t know what they’re dealing with. What if they were facing vampires?” Jack said, making me glare at him. Of all things, why did he have to mention those leeches? It could have been rogues. “Don’t look at me like that; I’m just saying,” he added.

“Xander,” Limuel said. From time to time, I let them call me by my name since they are my close friends. But it only happens when it’s just the three of us. They didn’t want other pack members to hear them out of respect. “I saw how strong Luna is even without fighting. You and Jack witnessed her fighting a vampire in her human form. What are you worried about when it seems she’s stronger than us?”

“Yes, that sounds true. And I don’t even know if I’m worthy of her after learning how strong she is,” I replied in a low voice. “I was contemplating whether I should continue pursuing her after finding out how strong she became after she left. She’s the best version of herself, and it pains me to know it happened under someone else’s care.”

“It’s not your fault. You know you didn’t want her to leave. You didn’t expect her to do that either. We all thought she was a weak omega and would remain that way, especially when the moon goddess wanted you to protect her,” Jack said consolingly. Over the years, both of them have done their best to ease my burdens, and I owe them my sanity. They were the ones who helped me focus on my goals and mission.

“I had a talk with her father, and I am going to share this information because I know I can trust you. But I expect that nothing from what I am going to say will leave this room,” I said, and they both nodded. I began to share everything Dranreb had told me, and they couldn’t believe it either.

“Rion was the one who told me that she was a Lycan, and then in my dream, I saw the moon goddess. After hearing that, I felt worthless because I knew that no matter what I did, she’d surpass me. But my wolf got angry because of that. He said there was no way our mate would be stronger than us. He told me to wait, so that’s what I did. So him telling me that gave me a glimmer of hope. Not because of my ego, but because, as her mate, I vowed to protect her with my life and not the other way around.”

“Fret not, Xander. Rion is with you, and so is her beast. The moon goddess made this happen so both of you could become stronger. We will hold on to that, and together, we will defeat that vampire,” Limuel said.

“Since Luna has her beast now, does that mean you can mark each other now, as you won’t be able to lose Rion anymore, just like what happened to her mother after she marked her father?” Jack asked.

“Yes, but I don’t want to do that yet. Not until she agrees. I won’t do anything that would anger her,” I replied.

“I think that’s the best thing you can do for now,” Limuel said, and I agree with him.

“We are here for a meeting about today’s tasks and duties. I know I don’t need to remind you all the time since I know you are responsible. But keeping you reminded will keep you right on track as well.”

“We understand, Alpha,” they both replied, smiling. I nodded, and they left my office to have breakfast before we got on with our pack duties.

Being left alone, I thought of Chassy once again. The way she responded to my kisses told me she wanted me. We made love, and she let it happen. Thea has a part in it, but I could also feel that she wanted that as well. But I still felt her restraint, and I understood it more than anyone else. I sighed heavily, thinking that this was going to be a drag, so I would have to wait for her patiently. Fine, I will let her slide for now. But she better make sure she’s fine and everything’s OK in her pack. While she’s not here, I think it’s the best time to do what I have to do.
