50- Mine Alone
Chassy
Three days. I stayed in my pack for three days, kept myself busy with all my duties, and had Sims and Allie take their breaks. They didn’t want to, but after giving them an Alpha command, they didn’t have much of a choice. Being idle only caused me to overthink. I started being irrational, and the finality of my decision kept distorting because of the worry that was constantly present in me.
‘Can you calm down?’ Thea asked. She’s quiet, but after we found out about Xander’s son, she became extremely quiet. I wanted to ask her opinion after I came back here but respected her, so I held my questions to myself. Now that she’s the one who initiated the conversation, there’s no way that I am going to let it pass.
‘What are we going to do?’ I asked. ‘You can feel my worries and uncertainty; why aren’t you talking to me?’
‘I am also thinking. Rion was cool about it, and he said that there was nothing to worry about,’ she replied.
‘How can you believe him?’
‘Because he’s our mate. I always believe what our mate tells us.’
‘Are you not worried about us?’
‘What’s there to worry about?’ she asked,
‘The she-wolf,’
‘So you’re jealous?’ she asked,
‘Are you not?’
‘No! Rion only wants me, us.’ I admire her confidence, and I want to borrow some from her. Why can’t I have that?
‘It’s not actually about the jealousy. It’s because she managed to give Xander an heir.’
‘Which we will be able to do as well,’ she replied. I wanted to laugh at her. Did she forget about our family?
‘We will conceive a child. About his son, we don’t know what he will become, but we just hope that he will grow up according to our mate’s will. And what are you worried about? You’re going to live with them; the boy will recognize and accept you because you will too.’
I sighed heavily, hoping against hope that what she said was going to come true. I am not angry at the boy. He had no idea about being conceived and born in this world. I am not a close-minded person to this kind of situation, and I will never become an evil stepmother like what the kids watched on TV.
‘Thank you, Thea. I hope you are right.’ I said that ended our conversation. I will be returning to the Red Moon Pack the following day, so I will just have to finish everything I can so my beta and gamma can relax a bit. I wanted to spend time in my workshop, but I don’t think I can still do that with all the responsibilities that I have to fulfill, not just as an Alpha but also as a Luna.
The morning comes, and I wake up early to prepare myself. Daddy Jay told me to have my breakfast first before I left, but I decided to eat at Dad’s diner. Even if we are seeing each other in the Red Moon Pack, we still don’t talk most of the time simply because of the training that I am prioritizing as well. Maybe I will be able to have a few conversations with him while I am eating.
“Good morning,” she greeted me happily. I wish I was like him. After he and Mom talked and got back together, every day seemed like a good day for him all the time. I don’t think he will be able to face a single day creasing his forehead or worrying about something. And that made me envious of him. He had his mate by his side, and to him, everything was perfect and complete.
I am with my mate as well, and I felt that feeling until a woman with her son appeared before Xander. “Good morning, Dad,” I replied,
“What do you want to have?” he asked,
“I don’t know; why don’t you surprise me?” I asked as well, teasing. He chuckled and nodded his head. I waited for him to come back, and while doing that, I couldn’t help but remember the look in Xander’s eyes as he looked at his son. It was full of love and adoration. I guess being a parent is something he looks forward to and is natural for him.
Maybe I was so occupied with my thoughts that I didn’t notice a woman approach me and knock on my table. I look at her and crease my forehead when I realize who she is while she sat confortably on the chair opposite mine.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” I asked politely. I can feel that she wasn’t here for a friendly chat, but I still do what a Luna should do.
“Did you already forget about me?” How the hell did she ask me that? Or she’s trying to mock me?
“Excuse me?” She chuckled, rolling her eyes at me. It seems to me that she doesn’t know where she should stand.
“I am Sena; we see each other in the Red Moon Pack, and I am the mother of Xander’s son.” All she had to do was say she was Ethan’s mother, but she drew Xander’s name and let everyone hear about it.
“Don’t you know your son’s name?” I asked, “It was easier to say “I am Ethan’s mother” than I am the mother of Xander’s son.” I added,
“I just like to emphasize our connections.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“As far as I know, you have a connection with Ethan, but not with Xander.”
“Being the mother of his child–”
“You are nothing special; you don’t know; he might have a child with another she-wolf as well, and they could be older than Ethan,” I said, and I saw her face grim. She was ready to rebuke, but, “While I hold his mark on my neck, you have to respect me and come to me respectfully. If you came to Xander for your son, that’s fine with me. But never use the boy so you could get near MY MATE or you’re going to lose both of them.”
“Are you telling me that you’re not going to let me see my son?”
“I am only saying that, compared to you, I think I will love and treat Ethan better.” She was furious, and that was evident on her face. It’s not as though I was scared of her; hell no. But I didn’t want to cause trouble for Xander as well. She stood up and was about to slap me, but Allie suddenly came and said,
“Alpha!” he said, bowing his head. I roll my eyes at him because I don’t need his help at all.
“Did you think that I was going to cause trouble here?” I asked,
“No, Alpha. I just want to greet you.”
“Idiot, I just left the pack, and we just saw each other. Stop the act and tell me what it is.”
“Nothing,” he replied, smiling and giving me a peace sign. Then I stand up and look at Sena eye-to-eye,
“Yes, you heard him right. I am not just a Luna; I am Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. So never approach me again, as if you have all the right to do so. If you want Xander, better drop it. Because I am not going to give him to you, no matter what.” I told her while I leaked my Lycan aura. Never in my wildest dream was I going to show off my power and strength just because I was threatened by another she-wolf. But the hell do I care? Xander is mine, and mine alone. “Get the hell out of my sight!” I commanded, and she rushed out of the diner along with her friends, who were sitting on the table not too far from mine. They were laughing and mocking me for being alone and neglected by Xander since I didn’t have anyone with me. They are thinking that my mate let me roam around unprotected. They are fools if they thought I never heard their whispering.
I sat back in my chair, and Dad arrived with my food. The aura that I emitted earlier was long gone, and I started eating happily with Allie.
