61- Luna Challenge
Third Person
The ballroom fell silent as Allie, the young gamma of the Silver Moon Pack, confidently introduced Chassy as their Alpha to Crisford. It was a pivotal moment, and the weight of the silence hung in the air as if time itself had momentarily stilled.
Chassy stood tall, her presence commanding and dignified. Her vibrant eyes, flecked with silver, surveyed the room with unwavering determination. The council members present, including some visiting alphas who arrived earlier, seemed taken aback by the audacity of a gamma introducing an alpha, particularly in such a formal setting.
Allie’s voice, though youthful, carried an air of reverence and conviction. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, his tone unwavering, “I present to you our Alpha, Chassy, of the Silver Moon Pack.”
The words resonated through the ballroom, and for a brief moment, the silence was a canvas upon which Chassy’s strength and resolve were on full display. The gravity of the introduction settled upon the council members like a heavy shroud. The visiting alphas had not expected such a bold move from the Silver Moon Pack, and the implications of this action were not lost on them.
However, Chassy continued to move forward despite the whispers and curious looks. She understood the significance of Allie’s introduction. It was a declaration of unity within the Silver Moon Pack, a statement that their bonds were unbreakable, regardless of the hierarchical distinctions.
The silence, however, was short-lived. As if threatened by the unexpected show of unity, a few visiting alphas began to chuckle, their laughter tainted with condescension. They exchanged knowing glances, their intent clear-to intimidate and belittle Chassy, to challenge her authority in front of the council.
Chassy’s gaze remained fixed on the council members, her expression composed. She knew that these alphas had a reputation for arrogance and dominance, but she was determined not to be rattled. She had come to the council meeting prepared to face the adversities of prejudice and bias.
The laughter from the visiting alphas grew louder, attempting to drown out Allie’s introduction. They exchanged whispered comments, their words carrying disdain and ridicule. It was a calculated attempt to undermine the Silver Moon Pack and, by extension, Chassy herself.
But Chassy held her ground, her composure unwavering. She understood that such challenges were part and parcel of the council meetings, where egos clashed and power dynamics were on full display. She had faced similar situations in the past, only with a small audience, but just the same, she had learned to navigate them with grace and poise.
The laughter and jeers didn’t make Allie, who was standing next to her, back down. He had taken it upon himself to introduce Chassy, and he was determined to see it through with unwavering loyalty. The strength of his conviction shone through his youthful demeanor, and it bolstered Chassy’s resolve.
Chassy raised her hand, a subtle gesture to signal for silence. The room gradually quieted, though a few snickers and murmurs lingered like echoes in the air. She spoke with a measured and composed voice, her words carrying an unspoken challenge.
“Gentlemen,” she began, her gaze steady and unyielding, “I appreciate the warmth of your welcome.” The hint of sarcasm in her tone did not go unnoticed. “I believe we are all gathered here for a reason-unity, cooperation, and a shared goal. Let us not forget the true purpose of this council meeting.”
Her words were a reminder that the council meeting was meant to address crucial matters that affected their kind. It was a call to focus on the common goals they shared rather than allowing personal biases to disrupt their unity. A few of the council members nodded in agreement, recognizing the wisdom in Chassy’s words. The visiting alphas who had attempted to intimidate her now found themselves in an uncomfortable position, their actions called into question.
Chassy continued, “In the spirit of unity, let us address the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Our focus should be on the well-being and prosperity of our packs rather than on personal rivalries.”
Her words held a subtle but undeniable authority, a reminder that she was the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, and she would not be undermined or dismissed. It was a pivotal moment in the council meeting, a turning point where Chassy asserted her leadership and her commitment to the greater good.
The visiting alphas, no longer laughing, met Chassy’s gaze with a mix of acknowledgment and grudging respect. They understood that she was not a leader to be taken lightly, and her resolve was a testament to the strength of the Silver Moon Pack.
Then they were ushered to their table and settled. The chattering continued, but none of them tried to approach and talk to the Silver Moon Pack. It’s not that Chassy cared, but she started to wonder whether she had acted arrogant earlier, so she looked at Allie.
“You’re doing fine, C,” he said even before she could utter a word. “You don’t need to worry about them since they will hold no value for us.”
“How can you say that?” she asked curiously, smirking. She realized that she and her beta and gamma had started to have the same characters.
“You’re stronger than them; there’s no doubt about that. And once Alpha Xander arrived, surely they would keep their mouths shut the whole time.”
“You’re pretty arrogant, Allie.”
“Whom do you think I took that from?” he asked, looking at her and raising a brow, which made the female alpha laugh so loudly that she caught everyone’s attention once again.
“Oh, you’re here,” said the voice, which Chassy would never misunderstand for someone else.
“And you are too,” she replied as she looked at Sena and at the man beside him, whom she guessed was her father because of their resemblance.
“She’s Chassy,” Sena said, looking at her father.
“That’s Alpha Chassy to you,” Chassy said it with authority, but Sena just laughed at her.
“Chassy,” Sena said, trying to annoy her, but Chassy smiled and said,
“Again,” doing so, she also excretes a bit of her aura that will make Sean do as she says.
“Alpha Chassy,” the woman replied with her head down. Everyone saw it, and they started to despise Chassy for making Sena do as she said.
“You shouldn’t use your alpha command for simple things like that.”
“I did not, old man,” Chassy said, which made Allie and the two warriors who were with them laugh.
“You disrespectful–” Sena’s father said, but Chassy cut off his words.
“Exactly. We didn’t want to be disrespected, right? That’s why I asked Sena to say again what she called me. If you want, you can make me too.”
“Let’s see where your arrogance will take you once Councilman Alex arrives.” Sena’s father said, smirking.
“Why did I hear my name?” Alex Finch, who had just arrived, said Everyone was looking in their direction already and was curious about what was going on. “What is it, Donovan?” he asked again.
“It’s a good thing that you’re,” Sena’s father, whose name was Donovan, replied, smiling. “Tell this bitch that you want Sena to be the Luna of the Red Moon Pack.”
Alex looked at Chassy but didn’t say anything. He already knew that she was strong, and the Luna thing that Donovan was talking about was discussed by them before Alex visited the pack. “Xander will have to decide on that,” he said.
“Did you just say that Alpha Chassy was also the Luna of the Red Moon Pack?” one of the alphas asked.
“Not for long, because Sena and Alpha Xander had a love child. A son who will become the heir and future alpha of the Red Moon Pack.” Donovan replied.
“In case you didn’t know, Xander and I already marked each other.” Chassy chimed in. She was furious with every word that came out of Donnovan’s mouth, but she held herself pretty well. Allie was feeling nervous because he didn’t want to see his alpha on a rampage.
“It’s fine; Sena can just challenge your Luna position,” Donovan replied, which made Chassy raise a brow at him.
“Are you sure about that?” she asked.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Why? Are you scared?” Donovan asked confidently.
“It’s not that she’s scared. She just knows that once she accepts it, it will fight till death.” Xander’s voice boomed in the ballroom.
“Xander!” Sena exclaimed.
“I talked to you about this, Sena, and you still want to do this?” Xander asked, “Are you sure that you want to fight at the cost of your life?”
“Are you scared that Chassy has to die?”
“No.” Xander replied, “I was worried that Ethan would have to lose his mother because of her greed and being idiotic. I can’t believe that you’re my son’s mother. I guess he took after my intelligence and looks.” Xander continued. Then he looked at Chas and said, “I’m sorry, I’m late.’ He then kissed her.
“Alpha Xander, I think we need to settle this matter with your Luna and the woman who claims to have a son with you,” the council head said.
“No problem; tell us how you want to settle this then,” Xander replied.
“What say you, Donovan?” The head council asked, and everyone looked at the old alpha, who was smirking at Chassy.
“My daughter Sena will challenge Chassy for the Luna position. If she wins, she will also assume Chassy’s title as Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack.” Everyone murmured and whispered at each other because of what he said. They knew that this was a challenge to death because of what was at stake.
