Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

42- Good Offense



Third Person

“Report,” Chassy said. They were in Xander’s office the following day after their encounter with the vampires. She and Xander let them rest first and recuperate, especially the tracker, that had been held captive since they had been engaged in a fight.

“Alpha,” Nixon said. “We spread around because it came to our knowledge that a group of vampires would gather in a particular bar.”

“For what purpose?” Xander asked,

“That’s what we wanted to know,” Jack answered.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Did you see any vampires gathering?” Chassy asked,

“Yes, Alpha.” It was Nixon. “But they were just there,” he added.

“Why aren’t they allowed to engage in a fight, Luna?” Jack asked Chassy.

“It’s not that we are not allowed.” Nixon rebut.

“Enough!” Chassy stopped him before she looked at Jack while Xander held her hand to calm her. “It’s not that they are not allowed to fight. I want them to use their heads other than their fists,” she added.

“How?” Limuel asked, “What if your tracker has been killed? What if you came a little too late and didn’t manage to save him?”

“Limuel,” Xander said, giving him a warning.

“It’s alright, Alpha,” the captured tracker said. “You may not understand us and our strategies, but I can tell that it was effective.” He continued, “Thank you for your concern for my well-being, Gamma Jack and Beta Limuel. But our Alpha is smart enough to teach us what we need to do in that kind of situation, and before we go on a mission, we are ready not to come in the pack alive.” he added, smiling.

Then Nixon chimed in, “We are allowed to engage in a fight if we need to save our pack members.”

“Then why didn’t you do anything when one of your trackers had been captured?” Jack asked,

“Because he had been captured,” he answered. “The fact that they didn’t kill him on the spot means they needed him alive. We are trained to get used to physical pain for a time like this and, of course, to buy our pack members who will try to rescue us more time.”

“Why didn’t you come to Luna when they went to save your tracker?” It was Limuel this time.

“We are there to gather information. If we show ourselves up, then being there will become pointless and useless because they will anticipate our presence wherever they go.”Nixon answered. “If they harm Tony, someone will jump in and help him, and they will try to hold up until Alpha arrives,” he added.

“They are not allowed to make their presence known to the enemies. Everything we worked hard for in the past two years will only go to waste, and the spy we have inside the coven might get jeopardized as well. And we didn’t want that to happen if we wanted to win against them.” It was Chassy. Jack, Limuel, and Xander are in awe. They never thought that’s how they worked. A spy in the vampires’ lair was a significant accomplishment; how much more are the guts they have to protect their hard work? “I hope there will be no more misunderstandings or questions raised in the future when it comes to a situation like that,” she added, and everyone nodded their heads in approval.

“Now, does anyone know why they needed the tracker alive?” Limuel asked,

“I think they wanted to know why the tracker was there and whether he was with his pack member or not,” Jack answered, and he saw everyone from the Silver Moon Pack nodding their heads.

“That ‘s exactly what I thought last night.” It was Nixon.

“From the fact that they did that kind of act, we can assume that the vampires knew that we were ready for them and that we were making a move,” Xander said.

“Precisely, that’s why you have to be more careful. They will not show up in front of you alone. If you think you are only facing one of them, think again. Someone or many of them might be in the shadow, watching or waiting.” Chassy replied.

“Then I suggest that you should go in groups, but the others should conceal themselves,” Xander said,

“That’s what we are doing right now, Alpha Xander.” Nixon said, “And I understand why Gamma Jack misunderstands our actions,” he added, smiling.

“Now I get why you also include that in the squad training,” Xander said, looking at Chassy, who is now nodding her head.

“We have to. As I already said, we can only catch those vampires by surprise,” she said.

The meeting had ended, and Nixon and the other trackers from the Silver Moon Pack left with Gamma Jack, who now brought three of the Red Moon Pack’s warriors after Xander and Chassy briefed them.

Now that Gamma Jack has been informed of the plans and strategies that the trackers followed, he is ready to support and be with them. Being together without actually being together was his first time hearing it, but he believed Luna and was willing to follow her.

Chassy and Xander continued training the squad, and they made sure to teach them hard. They felt exhausted, but it was nothing compared to what they had gained in the process. No matter how hurt and painful their bodies were, they still didn’t stop and give up. They wanted to help and protect their pack and the allied packs in defeating their enemy.

They were all worried when they first heard it from their respective alphas, but after they arrived at the Red Moon Pack and were welcomed by Xander and Chassy, their fear disappeared, and the desire to defend their packs prevailed over them because of the encouraging words of both Chassy and Xander.

They didn’t want the alpha’s effort to go to waste, and they didn’t want to see their loved ones in vain or pain, which made their determination stronger with each passing day. Daily, Chassy and Xander reminded them of the possibility of a vampire’s attack. Even if they had been told that the attack wouldn’t happen for three months, they still prepared themselves.

“You all know that you are here to defend your pack and the others. We are an allied pack, and as your commander, I would like to remind you of your duties and responsibilities. Don’t forget that we are together as one. Is that clear?” Xander said.

“Yes, Alpha!” they all replied with enthusiasm.

“Dismissed!”

Xander looked at Chassy after the warriors left and found her in deep thought. He knew that, above everyone else, she was the most affected because of the responsibilities that were on her shoulders. He wanted to lessen that, and that’s why he was doing his best to help her in any way he could.

He was scared when he saw her jump on the vampire. He had already seen her fight, but he knew he would never get used to that worry. No matter how strong his mate was, he knew that she would need him.

“Chas.” He caught her attention. She looks at him, smiling. “Remember, I am here. We’re in this together.”

“I know,” she replied. “I am only thinking whether I would want to wait for the vampires to attack us or we do it first,” she added, which stunned Xander. “It will be better to catch them off guard, right? After all, a good defense is a good offense,” she continued.
