16- See her again
Xander
“Are you ready?” I asked Limuel. He nodded, and we were on our way to the Silver Moon Pack. Six months after that vampire sighting, we decided to form an alliance with another pack. So far, we have already talked to six of our neighboring packs, and this is going to be our last. It’s important to have their support, so it will be easier for me to talk to the Werewolf Council and form an alliance with other packs in different regions.
“The Silver Moon Pack is the nearest, and yet we visited them last,” Limuel said,
“It’s because I already knew that they would agree with us,” I replied. “And this is just a formality,” I added.
“What made you think that way?” he asked.
“Because I knew how much they wanted to be protected. Having a vampire as an enemy is never good. We all know that they are our natural enemies.” I answered, “And I thought that they would be considerate of us and think of what we did when we were 18.”
“I didn’t know that you-”
“No, it’s nothing like that. Judging by all the invitations they gave us, even though we constantly rejected them, they still didn’t stop inviting us.”
“I see,” he replied.
We didn’t take long, and we were already in the Silver Moon Pack. I can tell that they are still wealthy, and I can say that their business is still doing OK even after Luna has died.
“Welcome, Alpha Xander, Beta Limuel.” The former Alpha, Jay, greeted us as we got out of our SUV.
“Thank you, Alpha Jay,” I replied,
“You know that you can call me by my name now that I am no longer the alpha,” he replied. Having said that, I looked around and found that no one was there other than his former beta and gamma, who I heard had already transferred their titles to their sons at the same time they changed their alpha. “Oh, if you are looking for our Luna, she’s with our beta doing some woodwork,” Jay said. I nodded my head and smiled. Usually, Lunas are the ones who are with the Alpha and welcome guests. “We can go to the meeting room now,” he said, and then we followed him. A few of my warriors stayed outside the pack house even though Jay invited them to come in.
As we entered the pack house, Rion, my wolf, started to get agitated. Wait, no, that’s not it. He seemed excited. I wanted to ask him, but I decided to do it later when we got back to our pack. “You know that we will agree to this alliance that you are offering. It has been delayed for 10 years, I guess.” Jay said, and I nodded. And here Rion is again. I can’t concentrate since he keeps popping up in my mind.
“I already had a feeling that this meeting was just for formality. But I want to know if you are having the same problem as ours.”
“The vampire?” he asked, and I nodded. “It started right after I stepped down from my position six months ago. But everything was under control,” he added. Did I hear him right? Under control? I looked at Limuel, and I knew that he was thinking the same thing. I guess they are no longer the same pack that we fought alongside when they were under attack by rogues. Is it because of their new alpha?
“Can I meet your alpha before we go back to the Red Moon Pack?” I asked, and I saw him look at former beta Simon. “Is there a problem?” I asked,
“No, nothing. Is it OK if we walk to our workshop now?” he asked, and I nodded, smiling. We went out of the pack house using the back door. There was a path there that led to another building. “That’s our event hall. Whenever there are some occasions that we need to celebrate, it is always held there,” Jay said.
“I see.”
“I’m sorry if I had to make you walk like this. Our alpha and beta have been there since this morning. They were making cabinets for the new house we built for our warrior and his mate.”
“It’s OK, Jay. Nothing to worry about,” I replied. As we continued walking, Rion was smiling.
‘Why are you like that?’ I asked,
‘Nothing,’ he replied, and I went back to the back of my head. I shook my head because of that and continued to follow both Jay and Simon.
I started to feel excited as well when I smelled a very familiar scent, though there was a slight difference. My heart started to beat fast, and that didn’t go unnoticed with Limuel.
“Alpha,” he said, which made the two in the front look at me.
“Nothing, it’s just that I smelled something,” I said, and I saw Jay and Simon smiling at me, and that confused me. Is there something going on?
Until we reach a sash shop, I think. There were woods around, and I noticed two people working. “Can’t you do it right?” the woman asked. When I looked at her, I felt like the world had stopped spinning. I saw her stiffen and look at us. I didn’t see any shock on her face, as if she was already expecting to see me. The man with her looked at us as well, and I saw how his smile disappeared.
“I thought everything was going to be OK and that this meeting would be just a formality,” Chassy said. Oh, I missed her voice. Though it was still the same, I could feel confidence and arrogance even if she didn’t actually make it sound that way.
“Alpha Xander wanted to meet our alpha, so I brought them here,” Jay replied, smiling.
“You know how dirty it is here, Dad,” Chassy said, which made me and Limuel look at each other. So, she’s Luna? How about the man with her? Is he the alpha?
“You two should stop working now and take care of our visitors. We only agreed to welcome them, but if Alpha Xander asked for your presence, I told you that you would have to see them.” Jay replied,
“Fine,” she said, looking at the man and nodding her head. Then it hit me; he was also the man she was with when I felt that pain. So I growled without thinking.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Alpha,” Limuel warned me,
“What do you think you’re doing?” Chassy asked, and there was a hint of anger. Or maybe she was only trying to control it as well.
“You’re with him,” I said.
“Yes, we are doing something here, so what?” She asked, and this time she didn’t hide her arrogance.
“What I meant is, you were with him a day before your 19th birthday,” I said, and I saw her eyes widen. So, she still remembers. But she must have a lot of confidence because,
“So what if we are together on that day? As far as I can remember, we are also here, in my shop, working on my project.”
“You know you did more than just work,” I said angrily.
“Oh, is that so?” She asked, raising a brow. Fu**, she’s so beautiful.
“Alpha–” the man said, and because of that, my attention got back to him, and I was about to grab him, but my mate stopped me.
“Why don’t you find someone of your size?” She really had become gutsy.
“I am an alpha; he is too. Aren’t we of the same size?” I asked, “You’re their Luna, so you’re siding with him? He dared touch what was mine.” I added,
“What?” Jay and Simon exclaimed,
“It’s not what you think it is, Dad, Simon,” Chassy said defensively. “And you,” she said, looking at me, so I looked at her. “He’s our beta,” she said, and I was stunned. I looked at both Jay and Simon, and I remembered that they said that their Luna was with their beta. So where the hell is their alpha, who was also with them? “I am their Luna, and I am also their alpha,” she added, which shocked me, and I heard Limuel gasp. Fu** me!
