82- Attack
Chassy
I know that Xander is very worried now about my bond with Silas. But he knew that he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it either. I decided to stay in the Silver Moon Pack for the time being so he would be able to think things through. I want him to be rational and ready for anything, whether Silas decides to accept or reject our bond.
The pack has been doing well, as have our businesses in the city. I’m so glad that everyone is working so hard to maintain or exceed what we already have and are capable of. Not to brag, but I am proud of what I’ve contributed to the pack since I became their Luna and Alpha. Doing both is not an easy task either. It was thanks to the people around me who have guided and taught me everything I need to know as well as trained me about my physical strength and power.
As usual, I do my morning routine, which is to run around the border. I made sure that everyone followed my number one rule, which was to be early with everything. So as early as 5 in the morning, my pack members are busy with their daily tasks and duties as well. The warriors and fighters who are not on duty will be on the training ground doing their daily training. They have to do it without fail. Their stamina, along with their physical strength, are needed when facing either vampires or rogues.
I had just gotten into the pack house when I received a mind link from my patrol guards about a vampire threat. I told them to keep themselves hidden and wait for whatever the vampire would do. Some reported that he was acting like he was looking for something or someone. I suddenly felt threatened with the safety of my pack members, thinking he was here to know about me. So I went to where the last patrol guard reported seeing the vampire. I want Sims and Allie to follow me but do it discreetly. Then I smelled him, Silas. All I had to do was follow his scent, and we would meet.
‘It’s Silas; be on guard.’ I told everyone, especially Sims and Allie. ‘You know what to do, right?’
‘Yes, C.’ my beta and gamma replied. Then I found him. I don’t know what he was thinking, but I don’t think he noticed my presence as I approached him. Because I knew how fast he could be, I decided to attack him by surprise, which worked perfectly. His scent is even more intoxicating when we are closer, but I had to do what I needed to do.
We fought, and of course, I won. He doesn’t want to hurt me; that’s why I feel a little relaxed. Sims and Allie are worried about me, but they don’t need to. I know because I could feel it. No matter how much Silas tries to hide it, his admiration and adoration are showing in his eyes.
“That is your choice, my love,” he said. I know what I told him to hurt him. But I want him to know beforehand that if ever he chooses to fight me, I am not going to hesitate to kill him. Though the word “love” sounded like music to my ears,
“Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. It’s either you come to me and leave them, or you stay and die with them.”
“No,” I replied. “The moment you leave this place, you have already waged a war against us and rejected me.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Don’t think that just because you’re my mate, I am going to submit to your whining,” he said, smirking.
“Don’t think that just because you’re my mate, I am going to submit to you either. I have a mate other than you.” I talked back, and that angered him. Just like Xander, he doesn’t like to share me with anyone.
“Then it is going to be the first and last time that we will be seeing each other as mates,” he replied.
“So be it,” I respond confidently. I didn’t want him to think that I was going to be gravely affected by what he said. I am not just Luna and his mate. I am also an Alpha in the Silver Moon Pack, and it is my duty and responsibility to protect them from any kind of harm, even at the cost of my mate.
Just like that, he’s gone. He is really fast, and I know that none of my pack members will be able to catch up to him. The reason why Sims and Allie managed to get him was because he wanted to talk to me. But under different circumstances, I don’t think they will be unharmed if they face him as our enemy.
“He is fast,” Sims said.
“He was occupied when you caught her as well,” Allie added.
“He’s engrossed with my scent. I ran around the pack earlier, so he must have been roaming around trying to find where I was. He didn’t even think that he had been running around without any of us confronting him.”
“What do you think?” Sims asked.
“I don’t know,” I answered, and then I looked at them alternately and asked. “What do you think?”
“Let’s discuss what happened with your dad and the others.” Sims suggested.
“I think that’s a good idea. Let’s go.” I replied and started to run back to the pack house.
On our way, my mind was with Silas. I don’t know what I will really do if they ever decide to fight us. Thea will be deeply hurt too, since she likes him as well. Torn between our bond and responsibilities, I hope that I will be able to get through it with ease. But who am I kidding? Our fate has already been written, and it is up to us whether we will follow that or not.
A mate bond is something no one can ignore. Especially a strong one like me, Xander, and Silas. We know that we need each other and that we have to be together. Being mated to a vampire is not easy, but the moon goddess made this happen, and it is up to us to make it work. I don’t know about Silas since I haven’t talked to him about it personally. But Xander is stubborn, so I don’t know what will happen.
Days later, we went back to the pack house to talk about Silas and what had happened in my office with Daddy Jay and the others, and I haven’t returned to the Red Moon Pack yet. I think about whether I will tell Xander about Silas’s visit or not because for sure, he will start sulking once he finds out that we kissed.
It’s morning, and I was standing on the balcony of my bedroom and just finishing taking a bath after I returned from my run. The first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of soft pinks and oranges, signaling the arrival of a new day in the heart of the pack. The air, crisp and cool, carried the subtle fragrance of pine and damp earth-a testament to the tranquility that enveloped our sanctuary.
I can see the heart of the pack’s territory; the sprawling landscape embraces a tapestry of vibrant greens. Towering trees stood as ancient sentinels, and I almost heard their leaves whispering secrets carried by the gentle morning breeze. The Silver Moon Pack’s territory boasted a pristine, untouched beauty-a haven where nature flourished undisturbed.
As the morning sun ascended, its golden rays spilled across the landscape, illuminating the lush meadows and casting a warm glow on the sky, and I could almost hear the babbling streams that wound their way through the territory. The soft sounds of rustling leaves and distant bird songs harmonized with the rhythmic cadence of nature awakening. I love doing this. I closed my eyes, enhanced my hearing, and listened to the sound that nature was making after I feasted my eyes on the beautiful surroundings from afar.
The packhouse in the center of the pack’s grounds stood as a symbol of unity and strength. Its sturdy wooden walls, adorned with symbols of the moon, echoed the pack’s connection to our werewolf heritage. The flag with the emblem of the Silver Moon Pack fluttered gently in the morning breeze, a silent proclamation of our allegiance to each other.
I’m sure that within the packhouse, everyone stirred from their slumber, their senses attuned to the harmonious melody of the morning. The scent of brewing coffee wafted through the air, drawing them to the communal kitchen, where laughter and camaraderie awaited. Their responsibilities and challenges were momentarily set aside as they reveled in the simple joys of shared moments while having breakfast.
With my enhanced eyesight, I noticed the young werewolves engaged in friendly sparring sessions, their movements fluid and purposeful on the pack’s training grounds. The upcoming generation developed their skills under the watchful gaze of our seasoned warriors, united by a common goal and the unbreakable ties that made up the pack.
As a community with a shared past and future, our pack flourished under the protection of nature. As the morning unfolded, the pack’s territory resonated with the harmony of every member living in communion with the land that had cradled our legacy for generations. On this tranquil morning, the Silver Moon Pack stood as a testament to the enduring strength of unity, a haven where the bonds of family and pack transcended the challenges that lurked beyond the borders. What a wonderful morning! I’m so happy that I was able to see this every day.
I was about to go down and meet everyone in the dining hall when ‘C. Vampires!’ Sims’ mind linked me. Shit! Did Silas start to attack us?
