Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Xander

“What?” I asked,

“Have you gone deaf?” she asked, and I could hear Limuel almost blurting out laughter.

“Ahm, Alpha Xander. I want you to meet our Alpha, Chastity, and yes, she is also our Luna. If you remember, we invited you for both Luna’s ceremony and alpha oathtaking.” Jay said, and I nodded. I was an idiot. I should have come the first time. I should have found her already, and they wouldn’t have a chance for their momentary insanity.

“I think we should go back to the pack house first and talk,” Simon said.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Yeah, we should.” Limuel agreed. I think he is having a good time now. We went back to the pack house on foot while Chassy drove her motorcycle. Since when did she learn how to ride it? What annoys me is the fact that her beta was riding with her, and I wanted that too.

Walking back to the pack house, my mind was with Chassy. She looks and feels different. No, even her scent, though not totally, still changes. What had happened to her after she left the pack? How did she end up in the Silver Moon Pack and become their alpha? I looked at Limuel, and I found him looking at me as well.

‘Are you confused, Xander?’ He asked through our link.

‘Are you not? I’m still shocked.’ I replied,

‘Me too, but I am happy seeing how Luna has changed.’ He replied, and I nodded. ‘So, what am I going to call her, Alpha Luna?’ He asked, which made me glare at him, and he only laughed. Come to think about it, Chassy seems to be a good leader if what Jay said was true about the vampire.

I smelled Chassy’s scent as soon as we got back to their pack house, so I was already expecting her to be sitting on her chair when we entered the alpha’s office. “Alpha said that she would just clean up first.”

“How about your beta?” I asked,

“He’s cleaning up as well,” Simon replied, and that brought me to a halt. “No, they are not together, of course,” he added when he thought that I didn’t like how it sounded.

“Alpha, don’t be so hyped up,” Limuel said,

“We know that you are Chassy’s mate.” Jay said as soon as we took our seats, “Before you get angry, I invited you to our many occasions. She didn’t want to let you know, but I told her that I owe you something, so there’s no way that I am not going to request your presence whenever there is an important celebration in the pack. Then it’s up to you. You don’t know how relieved she was when she found out that you declined our invitation,” he added.

“And your pup knows this, and yet he still–” I said,

“Alpha, I am sorry for that. But whether you believe it or not, we value our mates, and we always tell every pack member, including my son, to wait for their fated mates.” Simon said, “Maybe Sims has been so overwhelmed for a moment that he forgot about your bond, but I assure you that there was really nothing going on between them besides being the best of friends,” he added.

I want to believe him, but judging by Chassy and their beta’s closeness, it’s not impossible for them to develop their feelings for each other, especially when my mate has rejected me. For now, I will leave everything as is and focus on what we came here for. Then I am going to talk to her about us. She knew that I hadn’t accepted her rejection yet.

Her beta, whose name was Sims, according to his father, arrived after 15 minutes. Then it took an hour before Chassy finally came, and as much as I wanted to yell at her for taking so long, I decided not to since I knew that she was the alpha and a woman whom I thought always took time in the bathroom.

“Sorry, I took longer,” she said, looking at Jay, who, in fact, should be sorry for me since I was the one she needed to talk with and had kept me waiting. “Alpha Xander,” she said. Though my eyes were on her the moment she entered her office, she only looked at me when she called my name. “As for the alliance, I agree with it since we have our common enemy,” she said.

“I already talked to other neighboring packs, and they all agreed,” I told her, and she nodded her head. “How is the vampire sighting here?” I asked. I had to since I was worried for her safety.

“We have 2 to 3 incidents a day,” she replied, and my eyes widened. How can she look cool and relaxed even after knowing that?

“And?” I calmed myself and tried to know what they did.

“At first there was only one of them, but we managed to kill that one, so they increased their number,” she replied. “Sims, when was the last time that we killed two?”

“The day before yesterday, “C”,” the beta replied, and I felt like I wanted to strangle him to death.

“Is there something wrong with what my beta said?” She asked, stressing the word MY and I didn’t like it. I am the only one who was supposed to be hers alone, and no one else.

“Alpha; he is her beta,” Limuel said. I looked at him and nodded.

“Nothing, Chastity.”

“Alpha,” she said,

What?” I asked in case I misheard her. Does she want me to call her Alpha?

“Call me Alpha.”

“You are my mate,” I replied.

“But you’re not mine; I already rejected you.”

“I didn’t accept it.”

“That’s your problem, not mine.”

“Chastity!”

“If you’re not going to respect me the way I want to be, I am going to force you,” she said.

“Chas, dear,” Jay said, and I saw her calm. How the hell did she not tell the old man to call her Alpha when she was indeed his Alpha? “Alpha Xander, please calm down and let us discuss what we need to discuss.” He told me he was very calm as always. “And dear, please don’t provoke him.”

“I call him by his title, so he better do the same. My name alone is only for those who are close to me. For outsiders, they should address me with my title,” she replied.

“C,” Sims called her,

“Don’t open your mouth,” she warned him, and he just shook his head, raising his hand in surrender and smiling. I guess this is how they are. Casual and at ease. There is no tension or pressure whatsoever. They don’t fear Chassy but respect her nonetheless.

“About the vampires,” I said, and I got her attention. “We will have an alpha meeting to discuss possible training for our warriors and fighters so we will be able to fight those leeches.”

“When?” she asked.

“When you’re ready,” I said,

“I am always ready,” she replied. She really changed a lot. Oozing with confidence and power.

Our meeting had ended, and we didn’t manage to talk about ourselves. But since I already know where she is, it’s fine for me for now. We have a matter at hand that needs to be taken care of and prioritized.

The alpha meeting was scheduled for three days from now and will be held in my pack. Meaning all the alphas would be coming over, so I had to prepare. With that, I think about Chassy. I know what my pack and her mother did to her. What is she going to do when she faces them again? I guess I will have to find out. But no matter what, one thing is for sure: this time, I am going to be there for her.
