Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Third Person

Silas walked through the shadowed woods, the moon casting intermittent beams of silver light on his path. The urgency of his mission weighed heavily on his undead heart as he approached the territory of the Silver Moon Pack. The concern for Chastity and the vulnerable state of her pack intensified the gravity of the situation.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The image of Chastity, a strong and resilient alpha, dealing with the fallout from the rogue attack on her mate, Xander, consumed his thoughts. Xander being in a coma is Sila’s doing. It’s the effect of the revival he tried to do to the alpha, echoing through the supernatural grapevine. His worry for Chastity was palpable-a tight knot in his chest that mirrored the uncertainty of the current circumstances.

He couldn’t shake the pang of guilt that gnawed at him. Calling Chastity away from the Red Moon Pack to the Silver Moon Pack felt like a heavy burden, especially considering the circumstances with Xander. He understood the gravity of her responsibilities and the emotional strain she must be under, and the last thing he wanted was to add to that weight.

As he neared the borders of the Silver Moon Pack, the scent of pine and earth mingled in the night air. Silas wondered how Chastity was holding up, both as a leader and as a mate. The vulnerability of her position echoed in his mind-a wolf without her alpha mate, facing impending threats from both the vampire council and the rogues.

As Chastity led him to the pack house after they met in their usual meeting place, Silas couldn’t help but notice the weariness in her eyes. They approached her office as his keen senses picked up on the sounds of activity within. The presence of the pack members, their emotions, and the lingering tension that hung in the air were all palpable to his heightened vampire senses. He moved with deliberate steps, following his mate with a blend of caution and determination.

“Chastity,” Silas began, his tone gentle and apologetic. “I want to express my sincere apologies for asking you to come here. I know how challenging these times are for you, and I would never want to add more to your plate. However, I’ve come to discuss something important that might aid us in these challenging times. Can we find a moment to talk?”

Then he paused, his gaze reflecting a mix of empathy and concern. He wished he could alleviate the stress that etched lines on Chastity’s face, but the urgency of the situation demanded their collaboration.

“I understand the strain you’re under, especially with Xander’s condition. If there were any other way, I wouldn’t have asked you to leave his side. But your packs and my coven face a common threat, and I believe collaboration between your tracker, Nixon, and your packs with mine is essential for our survival. Please know that I’m here to support you in any way I can,” Silas added, his words carrying a genuine desire to assist and protect, despite the complexities of their intertwined destinies.

Chastity leaned back in her chair, studying him intently. “Continue; I’m listening.”

Silas took a steady breath as the gravity of the situation hung in the air. “I believe that Nixon’s team has unique skills that could prove invaluable in countering the threats we’re facing.”

Chastity’s eyes held a flicker of uncertainty, and I couldn’t ignore the turmoil within her. “Silas,” she began, her voice a mixture of vulnerability and strength, “I’m dealing with Xander’s condition, and I can’t afford any distractions right now.”

My concern deepened as I took a step closer. “Chastity, I understand the weight you carry. Xander’s well-being is paramount, and I share your worry for him. But we can’t allow the threat from the council and the rogues to go unaddressed.”

She looked down, her fingers tracing patterns on the desk, and I could sense the conflict within her. “I need to focus on Xander. I can’t risk anything that might jeopardize his chances of recovery.”

He nodded, acknowledging her stance. “Chastity, I’m here to support you, and I respect your priorities. But we also need to fortify our defenses and gather information to ensure the safety of our packs. Nixon’s team can aid us in this endeavor. You can focus on taking care of Xander while I keep the vampire council at bay with the help of your trackers.”

As the conversation continued, Silass navigated the delicate balance of addressing immediate concerns while emphasizing the strategic importance of collaboration. Chastity’s resilience and determination shone through, even in the face of adversity, and together, they began to forge a path forward-one that would safeguard not just the Silver Moon Pack or the Red Moon Pack but every pack’s future, as did the vampires who share the same belief as Silas.

As Chastity agreed, Silas approached her and touched her worried face. “I know how important Xander is to you.”

“No, it’s not that.”

“I know,” he replied, trying to stop Chastity from saying anything, but she was persistent.

“You are also my mate; please don’t think that I harbor more feelings for Xander than you. I love you, but I have responsibilities and duties I can’t ignore. Please don’t resent me for not being with you. For choosing my pack over you.”

“It doesn’t matter, because I am choosing you and our bond. I am not shallow, so I understand your mate’s bond with Xander as well, and I admit that I do feel jealous. But rest assured that there’s nothing important to me but your happiness.”

Chastity feels overwhelmed with the kind of love that Silas offers her, so she kisses him. She knew that she loved him as well, and under different circumstances, she would want him to stay with her and Xander.

Silas, liking the feeling, kissed her back. He didn’t know when he would be able to have that kind of opportunity, so he wanted to make the most of it. He deepened their kiss, and Chastity liked it too. “I would want to mark you, but I shouldn’t. I didn’t want to give the vampire council a chance to target you now that Xander is still hibernating,” he murmured as the kiss stopped for a moment.

“Me too, Silas. Me too.” Chastity replied before they kissed again. He never thought that he would be given a chance to have this moment with his mate, so he wanted to grab it.

“I love you, Chastity,” he said after sharing an intense kiss.

“I love you too, Silas,” she replied. The two stood in a quiet corner of the Silver Moon Pack’s alpha’s office, their lips still lingering after another long and deep kiss. For that brief moment, the weight of their responsibilities seemed to fade away, and they found solace in each other’s embrace. The intensity of their connection momentarily eclipsed the worries that had been plaguing them.

As they parted, Chastity’s eyes held a mixture of emotions-a blend of relief, gratitude, and a hint of guilt for finding comfort in someone other than Xander. Silas, on the other hand, felt a warmth within him, a fleeting happiness that he could provide Chastity with a momentary respite from the burdens she carried.

Their feelings were expressed and deeply understood. Silas respected the complexity of Chastity’s emotions, knowing that the kiss didn’t erase the pain she felt for Xander. Yet, in that stolen moment, they both allowed themselves to momentarily forget the challenges that surrounded them.

Chastity’s eyes, although softened, still carried the weight of her worries. Silas gently cupped her face, his thumb tracing a reassuring pattern on her cheek. “Chastity, I want you to know that I’m here for you, in whatever capacity you need me. Our bond is undeniable, and I don’t want you to bear the burden alone.”

She nodded, her lips curving into a grateful smile. Silas couldn’t help but feel a sense of fulfillment, a realization that, even amid turmoil, he could bring a moment of solace to someone he deeply cared for.

They stood together, their hearts intertwined in a complex dance of emotions-an alliance formed not only as a result of the difficulties they encountered but also as a result of their shared realization that they could find strength and support in one another.

Silas later went back to his new coven as Chastity stayed in the Silver Moon Pack to have a meeting with Sims and the others about what she and Silas discussed. She looks forward to a stronger defense and offense now that Silas and his new coven are on their side. Though she’s still worried about Xander, she believes in Silas, who helped her bring her alpha mate back.
