59- Council Meeting
Chassy
“Are you alright, C?” Sims asked. It’s my second day in my pack after I returned. And why do they have to ask me that all the time? I mean, it’s not that I didn’t like it. I just didn’t want them to worry too much about me because I know that there are more important things that they need to be concerned about, like the pack’s safety and security, than thinking about how I feel. Why do they need to make it a habit of looking after me and making me feel like a child?
“I am already an Alpha, Sims.”
“It doesn’t mean that you can’t face hardship, especially with your relationship,” he replied and hit the bull’s eye. I looked at him and sighed heavily.
“You have nothing to worry about,” I said,
“That’s deep.”
“What?”
“You just sighed so deeply that I couldn’t reach it. Come on, C. I know you. Don’t think that I am being annoyed because you know that I am only concerned about you.” For a moment, I thought that it could have been easier if he were my mate.
‘Grrr, stop thinking that way, C.’ Thea chimed in. For someone who had been quiet ever since Alex Finch came and announced how much he wanted to make Sena stay in the pack, she was so brazen to react now. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with Sims. ‘He’s not our mate.’ Yeah, I get it.
“Hey, C.”
“I am fine, Sims. You don’t have to worry about me. Really.” I replied. “If I ever have a problem, it will only be with Xander. But not exactly with him, since he loves me. I could feel it.”
“So there’s the boy’s mother?” He asked, and I nodded. “You can’t do something about her. I mean, Alpha Xander is a good catch for every she-wolf, and I know that everyone wanted him. But can’t you relax since, as you said, you feel how much he loves you?”
“I know that, but I couldn’t help but feel this way. Argh. You wouldn’t understand!” I replied exasperatedly, and he just laughed at me.
“Of course I understand. And I also know that you are jealous and feel threatened by the woman’s presence.”
“If you already knew, why are you still asking?” I asked, annoyed.
“Because I want to hear it from you.” He said that and laughed even more, so I threw him the paper I was holding. He picked it up and gave it back to me. “C, don’t think too much about it. I’m sure Xander will only choose you. That’s how mates are, right?”
“Yeah,” I replied, averting my gaze back to the reports that I was reading. I wanted to have a little sparring, but my beta didn’t want to. He said I needed to look into the reports because he was certain that all I did in the Red Moon Pack was train.
Sims left me in my office, and he went to do his beta duties. Allie, for sure, was talking to our trackers, tallying the reports they gathered about the vampires. I can say that my gamma is the best for this task. He isn’t like my beta, who is so strict and has difficulties having light conversations with humans. He could only talk casually to those who were close to him, like me and the other members of the pack.
The two have different personalities. But when it comes to the Silver Moon Pack’s business, they have the same views and concerns. And that’s what I am thankful for.
In the past, I didn’t hear anything about this pack. I don’t have any idea that they existed as well. But Xander and his friends have ventured here and helped when there was a rogue attack, so I think I was just clueless about their existence. And it’s so funny that they are the pack that took me in when I left the Red Moon Pack.
I got myself busy with the reports and was engrossed with them. A sudden feeling of relief flooded me when I noticed that the vampire’s sightings had been depleted. I felt at ease that they were safe at the moment. I don’t know when they will find me since Xander told me that the vampires knew about my existence. They just didn’t know my identity, and I hope that it will remain that way until we are ready.
The whole afternoon was nothing but paperwork, and it was the thing I hated to do the most. But with respect to Sims and Allie, I will have to follow them, even if it should be the other way. I was about to end the day with a mission accomplished since I finished checking all the reports when Sims came in.
“C, the council called for an Alpha meeting,” he said. I didn’t want to attend something like that. I had enough of the arrogant alphas I faced in this region, and if the council was the one responsible for that meeting, it only meant that I would have to see and deal with the other arrogant alphas of other regions.
“Why are they so idle that they call for it?” I asked, rolling my eyes at him.
“They had been idle for a very long time already; you just didn’t notice it,” he replied, laughing.
“So what made them feel like working suddenly?” I asked, feeling annoyed because I didn’t want to leave the pack.
“I don’t know. You’ll find out about it once you attend.” I sighed. “So, are you going to attend or not?”
“I didn’t want to,” I answered.
“I know, but you have to. We can’t let the pack become isolated from other packs, right?” He has a point, and I hate it. I know that I am being arrogant by thinking that I can handle the enemy myself. It’s just that I didn’t want to associate myself with them. “Xander will be there as well, so you don’t have to worry.” Sims added. Yeah, he’s going to be there since he is also an alpha. How stupid of me to forget about it!
“When will that be?”
“In two days.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“That soon?”
“I guess they were in a hurry. Something must have caught their attention,” he answered.
“What could it be?” I asked, and he just shrugged his shoulders at me. “Call Xander and tell him that we are going to withdraw Nixon’s team. Jack should be in his pack while he is away. Send Allie there as well, since vampire sightings are evident there. You can take charge without him here, right?”
“Of course. Dad and Uncle Rick, as well as Alpha Jay, are here. We’re fine, even if Allie is not around. But are you going to go there alone?”
“I plan to.”
“What if something happens?”
“Xander is there,”
“For sure, Alpha Xander will be alone too. Bring Nixon and a few warriors with you. In that way, there will be someone who can protect Alpha Xander as well.”
“Are you giving me a command?” I asked, raising a brow at him. He smiled and said,
“I was only suggesting. But you have to take it; otherwise, I am going to tell Alpha Jay about it.” I roll my eyes at him since I know that Daddy Jay will only agree with him. I nodded my head, and he replied, “And tell Alpha Xander what you want me to tell him. For goddess sake, you’re mates. A conversation like this should be casual between you two.”
“This is Pack’s business, so I will have to let you work,” I replied,
“I already had a lot on my hands; don’t make me work on simple phone calls that you can do yourself.”
“You realize that I am your alpha, right?” I asked.
“Of course, but I know that you are a very fair and just kind of alpha. So, with all due respect Alpha C, I am going to take my leave.” He replied and left. Such a disrespectful beta. And Thea was fine with it. I guess she wasn’t the type of beast who demanded respect from those she was close with.
‘Of course, they are my family.’ And there she is. I didn’t reply to her, I just shook my head and took my phone to call Xander and inform him about the withdrawal of my tracker team in the city. He really needed Jack while he was away. Wait, this meeting is not about that bitch, Sena, right?
