77- Jealous
Xander
Chassy left and stayed in the Silver Moon Pack. I don’t know, but I didn’t like the idea of her being away now. Maybe it was because of Silas. I’m afraid that he will take her away from me. Does he smell her scent in the diner when he talks to Sena? Does that mean that he knew that she was his mate as well? No, I don’t think I will be able to share my mate with him. I am being selfish, yes. But that’s how I feel.
‘Alpha, rogues!’ It was Limuel. He has been doing the patrol regularly, especially when Jack was with Nixon looking after the vampire’s activity.
‘Where?’
‘South border. There’s plenty of them.’ These rogues are the least of my problems. But since they were here, I will have something to vent my anger and frustrations on. I ran out of my office and then the pack house and shifted. Rion is no different. He didn’t like the idea of Thea being with that vampire.
On the south border, I found Limuel and the other patrol guards fighting with the rogues. I joined and killed anyone who approached me. I was known to be fierce and merciless, and these rogues would have to pay for their lives by entering my border.
They must have thought that I had been quiet for a long time and didn’t hear any actions happening about me. Since they were too eager to die, I will grant them their request. One by one, without a chance of being interrogated, I killed them until none of them had left. Limuel was just looking at me, maybe wondering why I did that.
I usually leave someone alive for questioning, if not torture. But I have no time for that; I am not in the mood to baby any of them since all I want to do is kill anyone who poses a threat to my pack and my mate.
“Did something happen?” When we changed and started wearing the shorts that one of our warriors had handed us, Limuel inquired.
“What do you mean?” I asked. I didn’t want to tell him about the dilemma I was facing right now.
“You know what I mean, Xander,” he said. He’s talking like a friend now, so he must be worried or concerned about me. “You can tell me anything; you know that, right?”
“Yes. And nothing. Nothing happens that concerns you.” I replied. I am still angry, and I was trying to hold it in because it was him that I was talking to.
“If you don’t want to talk about it now, fine. But let me tell you this: You need to be rational all the time. You are our alpha, and we depend on you. Don’t make personal issues cloud your judgment.”
“Thanks, Limuel,” I said and went back to the pack house. I understand him, and I am thankful that he is the kind of beta who is not afraid to tell me things that need to be told. He is doing his job pretty well, especially when Jack is busy outside the pack.
I am surrounded by good people, and yes, I admit that I am being irrational thinking about Chassy’s mate bond with Silas. I can’t accept that, and so does Rion, which makes me unfit to make rational decisions.
Just like earlier, I was supposed to leave at least one of the rogues alive to know why they decided to enter my border. But because I was thinking about that bloodsucker and Chas, all I saw was red, and I just wanted to kill everyone that came my way. I stopped thinking and went over the reports on my table. I better do my job properly, or Chas will notice when she comes back.
“Come in,” I said when I heard a knock on my door. I am thankful that it wasn’t Limuel, but I felt worried when Ethan came in. He’s still not over what happened to his mom, and I don’t have any idea what to say to him to calm or soothe him. “Yes, son?”
“Dad,” he said, so I waited for him to continue. “I heard what had happened to the border,” he added.
“You don’t have to worry about it; we can handle those rogues,” I said, just in case he felt worried about everyone. He is my son and has alpha blood, so it was natural for him to feel protective of the pack and its members.
“I just want to tell you that if something like that happens again, I want to be involved.” He looks serious, and I understand him. But he is emotional right now, just like me, and I am worried that he might do something he will regret or hurt himself.
“I know that the alpha in you kicked in. But you needed more training. Focus on that first, and I’ll know when you’re ready.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I am ready, Dad,” he insisted.
“Of course, that’s what you’re going to say. But please, listen to me. Not at this time. In the future, yes. You’re going to be the alpha, and surely you will need some experience. But I want you to harness your strength and power properly. There’s time for you to join the fight. And it’s not now.”
“But Dad–”
“No more buts, Ethan. I’m sure your Mommy C will tell you the same thing. Or maybe more since she’s too worried about you getting hurt.”
“Yeah, she’s so protective of me,” he replied, and I’m glad that he knew that as well. “But I didn’t want to be protected. I want to protect her too. What if the vampires come after her and do to her what they did to my mother?” So he was worried about Chassy getting hurt?
“Don’t worry about your mommy C too much. She’s the strongest wolf I’ve ever met. And once I know you’re ready, we will tell you a secret.”
“And that is?”
“For now, it’s a secret. As I already said, when you’re ready.”
“I just want to make sure that nothing’s going to happen to Mommy C.”
“I know, son, I know. And that’s what keeps me worried as well. You see, she tends to go by herself.”
“Yes, why is she like that? Luna’s, I know, don’t go around all by themselves. They were always with the gamma of the pack and some warriors. Even at school, we are taught that Lunas have to be protected at all costs since the alpha’s powers and strength depend on their safety.”
“Yeah, I grew up knowing that as well. But your mommy C changed that. So for now, don’t worry too much about her. Instead, continue to get yourself stronger than you already are.” He sighed deeply before he nodded his head. I hope that he gets what I mean so that I don’t need to explain it to him further. He left my office after telling me about his training, so I let him leave while I continued my work.
I’ll just clean myself later since Chas is not here for me to cuddle. The rogue’s scent still lingers on me, and I don’t care about it. The most important thing to do now is to ensure Ethan will be able to get the train that he needs, so I made a decision: I’ll train him myself instead of thinking about my jealousy.
