Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

“What do you mean, you think you saw her?” I asked,

“I think I saw Chassy in human territory,” he answered. “Her scent is not the same as before; I think she already has a new pack,” he added.

“Which pack?”

“I don’t know, but I had a feeling that I knew the pack; I just couldn’t tell.” This is frustrating. I need to find her before anything happens to her. Though I was warned about this, I still can’t help but worry about her safety. What if something happens to her? I didn’t want to admit it, but I know that she rejected me after she left the pack. What if she found someone else?

“You should have followed her,” I told him.

“I know, but everything happened so fast. I was already tailing her, and then someone bumped into me and talked to me. I didn’t want to leave her out of my sight, but that human was so persistent in talking to me. Then I missed her.”

“You feel like there’s this force that prevents you from getting closer to her?” I asked. He looked at me and nodded slowly. I understand her. “Please dismiss the warriors.” I just told him and went back inside the pack house. I guess for now, I have to let her go. If this is our fate, I will go with it. But when the time came that I finally found her and she was still the same Chassy that I knew, I would make sure that I was going to take her back. She’s mine, to begin with.

I entered my office and sat in my chair. I leaned back and tried to relax. I had been thinking about her for two weeks. Yes, it was still a very short time, but it feels like an eternity to me. I closed my eyes and remembered why I had to do what I did to her.

*** Flashback ***

“Xander!” Jack shouted. We are at school for the future high-ranking officials of the pack, like alphas, betas, and gammas. “Congratulations to us!” he added. I smiled at him while Limuel was shaking his head. Among us three, he was mediocre. Though he didn’t want to admit it,

“We graduated, and next week is your 18th birthday. Surely you’re very excited to find out who your mate is,” Limuel said.

“That was already a given,” I replied. Every wolf was excited about finding its mate. Especially someone like me. As the future alpha of the Red Moon Pack, I need to provide an heir for the future of our pack. Though it wasn’t only because of that that I was eager to find her, having a mate or someone who will take care of, understand, and love me is the moon goddess’ gift to me.

“So, are we going to go back to the pack or are you going to stay here for your birthday and party?” Jack asked. We are still in the High-Rank Academy, and my father expects me to come back in two weeks, so I might just stay here since I am looking for my mate as well.

“Why do you need to ask that?” It was Limuel. “Of course, we will be staying here,” he added, and we all laughed.

“Yeah, once we get back to the pack, we will be working our asses really hard. We had to show them how much we learned and put them into action.” I said,

“Yes, Alpha!” they both exclaimed with a salute, then we laughed again.

It was natural for me to attract women because not to brag, I had this pretty face and good body that women would want to have in bed. But that’s all. For me, they were just a fling. A one-time fu**-ner in bed to pass the time. No strings attached because, in the end, I will still choose my mate no matter what.

To make a long story short, we stayed in the academy’s dorm for another two weeks, hoping we, especially me, would find our mates, but we failed. We party and fu** women every night, and we had so much fun. I don’t know what will happen when we get back to our pack. Dad was so strict, and I was worried that he would make me assume his title.

I’m only 18; although I already know my responsibility, I am still young. But my father, the alpha of the Red Moon Pack, will surely make me start doing alpha duties to train me.

Compared to humans of the same age, I looked more mature. Even with responsibilities, I can say that we wolves are more responsible than them. We were taught to become one at a young age, especially when our family belonged to a ranked official of the pack. There were those who were childish; I can’t deny that. They were the ones who thought they had more privilege than anyone else.

“Hey, man. It’s time.” Limuel said. Behind him is Jack, grinning. He looks stupid when he does that, and yes, it’s time to go home. I nodded my head and took my bags before I followed them.

Although we enjoyed being at the academy, we can’t deny that we missed the pack. Truly, there’s no place like home. “Keep in mind that you are the leader. The father of the entire pack and every member is looking up to you and relying on you,” Dad said. We have been back for a month now, and just as I thought, as soon as we arrived, Dad started making me do his duties.

“I know, Dad,” I replied,

“It’s not enough that you just know. You have to put it in your heart so you will be able to serve wholeheartedly.” He nags, so I just have my head down. “Anyway, you haven’t found your mate yet?” he asked.

“No,” I answered.

“Do you think you need to go to different packs?” he asked,

“Well, that could help too.”

“Then, I am going to arrange a pack visit for you as my representative. Bring Limuel and Jack.” I agreed, and he let me leave his office.

We went to the Silver Moon Pack. It was a meeting for a possible alliance, and I saw how shocked the alpha was when he saw us. Maybe he thought that we were just kids, but he still welcomed us and introduced us to his ranked officials.

Everything was good on our first day. We decided to schedule the meeting for the next day, and the alpha toured us around, showing us how beautiful his pack was, we were amazed at how beautiful it was. His Luna is very welcoming, but I can tell that she’s a human. I later found out that she was also the reason why the pack was prosperous.

They wanted alliances because they were weak. A lot of the pack members are non-combatants, and they accept rogues who want to have a home. They are good. The alpha and the luna are simple and not power-hungry.

Night came, and it was so quiet and peaceful. Limuel and Jack are with me in my bedroom, talking about sh*t. Then we heard howling. We looked at each other and ran out. “What are you three doing here? Get inside the pack house, now!” the beta shouted. But we didn’t heed his warning. We still followed them and fought.

It was a rogue attack, and I think there was someone behind it. No rogue will group themselves just to randomly attack a pack. There is an alpha here, and no matter what, they will still end up losing. We fought and fought, but what we didn’t know was that it was only a diversion.

On the road, Luna was on her way back to the pack with the gamma, and they were ambushed. It was when we saw the alpha in pain. A good thing was that his beta was there to protect him. If not, he must have been dead, since he wouldn’t be able to move as the rogue was about to attack him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Then, as if nothing happened, the rogues left. It was very tragic for the pack. Though we were there and managed to contain the situation, we couldn’t do anything for their Luna. That incident made me promise to make my pack strong and formidable so that no rogue or pack would think of coming and attacking us to harm everyone in my pack, especially my mate. No way, there’s no way that I am going to let anyone hurt my mate and my Luna.

After a week, we went back to our pack. Everything was settled in the Silver Moon Pack, but it wasn’t the same anymore now that their Luna was gone. I reported it to my father, and the alliance that we were supposed to talk about was canceled. We couldn’t talk to their alpha, so the beta and gamma requested to schedule it.

Even if it was like that, I gave them my word that no matter what happened, they could come and ask for help in our pack. The beta thanked us, and we left.

I learned a lot in the Silver Moon Pack. Being a wealthy pack is good. They managed to provide for everyone, and, most importantly, the pack had to be strong. So I suggested to my father that we need to train everyone who wants to train. Young or old, men or women, he agreed, and he looked proud of me.

The incident in the Silver Moon Pack has been on my mind for two straight months, so I decided to unwind. I walked around the pack and met the pack members. I was on my way back to the pack house when I smelled it. It was the most intoxicating scent I have ever smelled. Honey and vanilla, how sweet can she be? I followed the scent, only to be disappointed. What the fu**? I found a child by the back door of the house, crying.

Why am I mated to a child? “Why are you crying?” I couldn’t help but ask. She looked up, and, goddess, she’s the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.

“Nothing,” she replied as she wiped her tears away, which I wanted to do for her.

“Stop crying; I don’t want to see you crying. Is that clear?” I told her, and she nodded her head. “How old are you?” I asked. I was curious as to how long I was going to wait for her.

“11,” she replied, fu** me. 7 years, I had to wait 7 fu****g years to have her.

“Get inside, and don’t cry.” I just told her and left. I had to because she was still young, and I didn’t know what I would do if I were going to stay beside her.

On my way to the pack house, I thought of it, and I was still happy that I had finally found my very young mate. But I had to hold it to myself. I didn’t want to scare her. The way I looked at her earlier, she’s fragile.

Then I waited silently. I told Limuel and Jack about it, and they laughed at me but were still very happy for me. They even teased me for no fu** for me for the next 7 years. It’s fine; I can’t imagine how sweet it could be when the time comes.

But after a year, I had a dream. In that dream, the woman who happens to be the moon goddess wanted me to neglect my mate until she was ready if I wanted to be by her side when fighting in a war. I don’t know what that means. But I was not asked to reject her, but only to neglect her. meaning she’s still going to be mine in the end.
