Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Chassy

“Come on, Xander. We will just talk.” I said. Sims called me and informed me about what Silas had told him over the phone. I appreciate him making an effort to communicate with me, and Xander didn’t want me to go there alone. “You said that you’re going to support me whatever my decision is,” I added, and I saw him sigh.

“I know that, and you are using that for me now. I am just worried that he might hurt you.” he replied, “You’re alone; what if he did something you didn’t expect and, out of surprise, you won’t be able to do anything to protect yourself?” I understand his worry, but,

“Can’t you trust me?” I asked, “Because I don’t think he will be able to hurt me at this point.”

“How can you say that?”

“I just know. Like you and me, he was also suffering from disbelief. I’m sure that he’s still trying to process everything, feeling confused.”

“I don’t know, Chas. Please don’t take this against me; I just want to ensure your safety.”

“I know, but believe me, nothing is going to happen to me. And don’t forget, we will be meeting in my pack territory.”

“Fine, if that’s what you want. I know that I won’t be able to stop you from doing what you want.”

“It’s nothing like that, you know that.”

“Yes. I didn’t mean it that way, either. It’s just that I know that you are an alpha as well, and I feel frustrated that you also think like an alpha.”

“And how do you want me to think?” I asked, raising a brow, and he couldn’t look at me.

“You know, Luna, perhaps? I only wanted to stay beside me.” He answered, and I laughed.

“So we still ended up with your jealousy.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” he answered, chuckling.

“You are my mate, and so is Silas. As I already said, he won’t be able to harm me at this point since he is still confused. I know because I could feel it. There’s nothing for you to worry about because we’re not going to do anything other than talk.”

“Let Sims and Allie send you there.”

“They will, even if you don’t tell them. You don’t know how protective they are to me.”

“Thank goddess,” he replied.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Now, I was back in my pack on my way to where I caught Silas with Sims and Allie. Before coming here, just like Xander, they kept on reminding me to be careful and not to trust him too much. But my gut tells me that everything is going to be alright and that he won’t harm me in any way.

“Did you wait long?” I asked. I could smell him even before we arrived, so I was wondering if he had been there for a long time already. To me, he still looks handsome. I don’t know if it was because of the mate bond, but I like what I see. He was also staring at me, and I hope that he likes what he sees in me as well. It’s not that I took an extra effort to look beautiful for him, but I want him to see me that way. There’s nothing wrong with that since I know that I am his mate and he is mine.

“No.” His reply was short, so I nodded as I showed myself to him. “Why didn’t I smell you? Did you intentionally hide your scent on your way here?” he asked with a pained look in his eyes.

“It’s my nature; I’m not a very trusty person, and neither is my beta or gamma.”

“So, you’re always cautious.”

“Let’s just say that I am always on high alert, no matter where I go or what I do.” I replied, “So, what is it about the attack that you want to discuss?”

“It’s not me. I never told them to attack you and your pack, as well as not be interested in making any kind of alliance with the rogues,” he explained, and I saw sincerity in his eyes. I know that Xander will not agree with me on that, but I am sure of what I saw. There’s also a hint of worry in his voice, and I hope Sims and Allie were able to sense that as well.

“Then your people acted on their own?” I asked in disbelief. “You are their leader. If I were you, I would have killed them already, and none of them will remain breathing.”

“Are you sure?” he asked. I know that it was hard to believe. “Even if they were the people you trusted?”

“I trust everyone in my pack, so I want them to trust me in return. I can give my life for them, but I don’t need disrespectful pack members. I’d rather kill them with my hands than get the others killed because of them.” I answered with conviction. “Whether he is my beta, gamma, or unranked pack member, they will have to answer to me and get punished severely.”

“You’re only saying that because you haven’t faced that yet.”

“No, I am saying this because I can do it. Just like what I have told you, if you choose to fight me, mate or not, I’ll do everything in my power to take you down. Either you are with me or you’re my enemy. You choose.”

“You make it appear simple.”

“Yes, it’s not. But thinking about my duties and responsibilities as an Alpha, I am willing to do everything to provide my pack and every member the safety and security they deserve.”

“Don’t you think it was also my duty and responsibility to protect my coven?”

“Only if they deserve it. My question is, Do they?”

“They are my people, and I am not going to let go or give up on them just like that. But I want to tell you that after I found out that you are my mate, I decided to lay low and think things through. I have no intention of hurting you anymore, but I am also an elder and a vampire leader. I have my obligations with my coven as well.”

And what do you mean by that?”

“My kind were eager to eliminate every wolf. But I understand that you will never allow this. I don’t think they will accept you as my mate. It will only cause you harm if I tell them.”

“What do you suggest?”

“Let’s keep this bond a secret, and I’ll see what I can do to slowly appease my entire coven.”

“You know that it is impossible.”

“Yes. But I still need to try.”

“You’re going to tell them to have a truce with us? That is not going to solve our conflict because they are not going to agree as well.”

“Why do you keep on objecting? Can I at least try it first?”

“Fine, do whatever you want to do. In the meantime, I am going to hold on to what you just said. I will put my trust in you, but keep my pack and warriors at bay. We will still be on high alert but with caution.”

“It’s a deal then,” he replied. I smiled and nodded my head. He left, and I could see in his eyes that he wanted to tell me more. Maybe because he knew that Allie and Sims were just around, that’s why he decided not to.
