58- Didn’t want to be disrespected
Xander
I am thankful that Chas was confident. I just hope that when she feels threatened, she will come to me instead, so I can assure her that I am hers alone. I assure her that Dad won’t be able to do anything to make me and Sena live together. I am not going to let that happen either. Ethan understood our situation, and I knew that he liked Chassy as well. What I don’t know is if he would want to live with his mother away from the pack house.
Dad stayed in the pack just to make sure that Sena transferred. I talked to the pack members and informed them of that woman’s presence. It pissed me off because I had not introduced Ethan to them formally, and yet she came here as if nothing had happened.
“Ethan, are you alright?” she asked when she saw the boy, who was now creasing his forehead at her.
“Didn’t I already tell you that I am fine and everyone treated me nicely?” he replied.
“I couldn’t help but feel worried about you. I am your mother.” Sena said it as if Ethan had forgotten about that already. My son didn’t reply and just shook his head. “Where is my room?” Sena asked, and she looked at me.
“Limuel will bring you to your house,” I replied,
“Wait, house? Not here?” She asked, confused.
“Yes, house.” I replied, “I already talked to Ethan and asked him if he wanted to come with you.”
“And?”
“He wanted to stay here, so he will be staying here.”
“We’re supposed to live together; that’s what Alpha Alex told me,” she replied,
“Mom, I want to stay here, and the house is a little away from the pack house, so it will only inconvenience me and my training. I like to train, and I learned a lot.” Ethan told her.
“No, we should live here together.” Sena insisted,
“Why do you need to live here if you only want to see me?” Ethan asked,
“Ethan,” Chas said, trying to warn him not to be disrespectful to his mother. But Sena took it against her.
“What now? Are you trying to be a mother to my son?” She asked angrily.
“I am only reminding Ethan that he should talk to you with respect,” Chas replied,
“Are you saying that I didn’t teach him well?”
“I am saying that he is confused right now, and he doesn’t know who he should follow. So if you are concerned about his well-being, don’t start a conversation that should be between you and Xander. Do not include the boy in whatever plans you have in mind. I like Ethan; he’s very smart and kind. Everyone likes him and respects him, so I don’t see any reason for you to stay here with a “want to make sure he’s fine” reason.”
“How dare you!”
“You’re a visitor here, Sena. If you don’t want to be thrown out of the pack, you have to behave and abide by our rules. Most of all, you have to respect me as your Luna.”
“And what if I don’t?” she asked, challenging Chas.
“Then I will have to punish you.” I chimed in. Chassy might look relaxed and cool, but I already feel her inner self. Her beast wanted to get out and give Sena something she would never forget.
“Why are you being disrespectful to the Alpha and the Luna, Mom?” Ethan asked, and Sena couldn’t utter a word. She just looked at him and sighed after a few minutes of silence.
“Fine, where will I be staying?” she asked. Then I mind-linked Limuel, whom I knew was just outside my office waiting to be called.
“Alpha,” he said.
“Please help Sena to go to her designated house,” I said. He nodded and looked at the woman before he motioned his hand to her to go first.
“I will be staying at your house when I don’t have my training,” Ethan told his mom, but Sena just ignored him, and I feel sorry for my son. I knew that his mother was only using him so she could get into the pack. I just hope that he won’t be able to feel it.
“I’m sorry about my mother, Mommy C,” Ethan said when we were left in my office. Chas smiled and took his hand before he led him to sit beside her.
“You don’t have to say sorry on her behalf. She’s grown up and should be the one to be responsible for her own actions.” Chas replied. “Ethan, I don’t know if you will understand me, but I want you to know that no matter what, you are your father’s son. Nothing and no one can change that. If there was anyone in the pack that would tell you otherwise, tell me or tell your Dad about it, and we will do something about it as well.”
“You knew that your mother and I would never be together, right?” I asked, and he nodded. “But it doesn’t mean that I am going to neglect you as my son. I hope that is clear to you.”
“Yes, Dad,” he replied, smiling. “I was just worried that Mom would do something that would hurt Mommy C.”
“There’s nothing she can do that will hurt me, Ethan. I am stronger than what you think.” Chas told him.
“I want to be strong and protect everyone. Even my mom, even if she doesn’t love me.”
“Don’t say that,” Chas said in a low voice. I was surprised by what he said, and I’m sure she was too. How can he say that?
“She only loves herself. She fooled my grandpa so she could stay here. She wanted to be with Dad so much and rejected her mate before we came here.”
“Son, you have seen a lot. But I want you to be the child that you are. Don’t think about the old people’s problems. Let us solve our indifference.”
“Thank you, Dad,” he said. Chas smiled and hugged him, which he returned with the same warmth. We were having a light conversation and laughing when my office door opened.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Why did you let Sena stay in that old house?” Dad asked angrily. “Did you agree with that woman?”
“You can go now, son,” I told Ethan, and he nodded his head.
“Why are you letting him leave? You didn’t want him to hear how you treated his mother so that bitch would look good in front of him?”
“Dad! Chassy is not a bitch! If you cannot give my mate the respect she deserves, you better leave my pack now.” I said it angrily. But he didn’t listen to me. Instead, he looked at Chassy and was about to hurt her when she commanded him,
“Stop!” Chas said it was more than an alpha’s command. Dad’s eyes widened, and so did Ethan. It must have been the first time he saw a woman do that to a strong alpha. Dad’s aura was leaking, and I’m sure that my son felt it too. “Kneel!” Chas added, and Dad knelt instantly, which made his eyes grow even wider. “I didn’t want to be disrespected, so make sure not to do it again,” she said. Dad couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
“Xander, I have to leave. It’s time for me to visit my pack. You know Sims and Allie are like children whenever they are unattended.”
“I understand.” I replied, smiling before she kissed me.
“Sweetie, I have to go for now. I will be back in three days, perhaps. It depends on the report I will receive from my beta and gamma.”
“Ok, M- Mommy C,” Ethan replied, and Chas smiled at him before she kissed him on the forehead.
Chas left my office, and yes, I feel sad. I always felt that way whenever she left the pack, though. “Dad, Mommy C has a pack apart from here,” Ethan asked,
“Yes, Son. She is the Silver Moon Pack’s Alpha.” I answered. Then I took his hand and led him out of my office, leaving Dad alone. I don’t know what he was thinking, but I hope he will stop meddling with my life now that he already has a taste of Chas’ power. I hope that Sena will not do anything that would warrant Chas doing something that might hurt Ethan. I hope so.
