38- Doesn’t Matter
Chassy
I informed Xander about the awakening through a phone call, immediately thinking it may be a little too late since three days had already passed. I still believed what Daddy Jay had told me, and he said that we still have time, so I will hold on to that. We must hold another alpha meeting and inform everyone about the vampire’s current status, so it was imperative for the squad commander to know about it beforehand and hold another meeting with the alphas included in the alliance.
The next morning, we are in the alpha’s office of the Red Moon Pack. “Luna, how did your tracker find out about it?” the Gamma Jack asked,
“Ever since we found out about me, Daddy Jay decided to track the vampires and find out everything about them. Humans are a great source of information as well.” I replied, “I thought we only had a little time, and I was panicking since there were so many things that I still needed to know. I don’t have Thea yet, and I am still not that good with fighting,” I added.
“Who’s Thea?” Jack asked,
“My Lycan, I had her when I turned 19,” I answered, and they all nodded. “Then Daddy Jay transferred his title to me so I could learn more than what I could if I’m only a Luna. They made me decide and think about the pack’s issues.”
“Can we bring Dranreb here?” Xander asked, and I nodded. So after a few minutes, Dad is knocking on his office door.
“Alpha,” he greeted and looked at us, then smiled at me. ‘Good morning, dear.’ He mind linked to me. I smiled because I thought he was scared that Xander would get mad if he heard him calling me dear and not Luna or Alpha.
“What is it?” I think my mate noticed.
“Nothing,” I replied.
“You’re smiling as if he told you something we don’t know,” he replied.
“He just said good morning to me.”
“We didn’t hear him talk, Luna,” Limuel said.
“I’m sorry. It’s our family’s ability. We can talk through the link even if we are not in the same pack,” Dad said.
“Your family is amazing!” Jack exclaimed.
“Alright, I am going to call out the other alpha’s so we can talk things out. They have to be ready as well; we don’t know where the vampires will attack, so we all need to be prepared.” Xander chimed in.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Alpha, the vampire elder that was supposed to be awakened, will need a little more time to recover his power. Although he was still weak this time, his entire coven wasn’t, so we needed to train harder. I mean every pack.” Dad said,
“According to Dad, the attack won’t happen until four months. And that’s what we have to do to improve ourselves and think of a plan,” I added.
“How did Jay know about this?”
“He said he dreamed of the moon goddess. That’s how he found me as well when I left the pack three years ago,” I answered.
“So, we can’t delay the training of the squad?” Limuel asked.
“Yes, no matter what, we can’t rest with that. But we have to do it responsibly. We don’t want them to be overly fatigued when war comes,” Xander replied.
“I have prepared an additional training regimen for them,” I said, giving it to the beta. He will be our third in command when it comes to the squad. He took it and read it.
“Thank you, Luna,” he replied.
“No problem.”
“How about me?” Jack asked,
“Xander, can I borrow him to help my trackers in town and the city?” I asked,
“Who is going to look after you?” He asked, “You know what Gamma does,” he added.
“Do I look like I need someone to look after me?” I asked as well, “And what do you have to worry about? Was it either I was with you here or in my pack, where my beta and gamma were present along with Daddy Jay?” I added. He can’t say anything because he knows that I was right.
He sighed heavily before he nodded his head. “I am going to introduce you to Nixon; he’s the one leading the team,” I said, looking at Jack.
“Do I have to do as he says?” he asked,
“You’re a gamma; what’s making you anxious?” Xander asked.
“Well, it’s Luna’s trackers, so it will be awkward.”
“Don’t think about it; Nixon is submissive, but not with the enemy.” I cut him off. “You don’t need to worry about ranks; that’s the least my pack members would think this time. They are more focused on gathering every piece of information they get to defeat and learn more about the vampires.”
“Alright, Luna,” he replied. I smiled at him so he would know that everything was going to be OK.
“I am going to call Nixon here; you can talk and discuss everything you need to know.”
“Limuel, call all the alphas of the alliance while Chassy and I start the training,” Xander said, and his beta nodded.
“Alpha, I need to talk to you,” Dad said, stopping me and Xander from getting up.
“What is it?” my mate asked.
“Dear,” he said, looking at me worriedly. “I already told you about the curse in our family,” he continued, and I nodded. Then he looked at Xander and said, “And I told you about it as well, Alpha.”
“Dad,” I said, trying to stop him because I already had an idea of what he wanted to say, but he continued.
“Our curse will not be easily uplifted. Many in our family tried to find a way to break it, but no one succeeded, and I’m no different. For years, I did my best to look into anything that might lead me to break it, but I failed. I didn’t want my daughter to suffer on something that was not up to her.”
“Say it, Dranreb. You don’t have to hesitate.” Xander encouraged him while I had my head down.
“She won’t be able to give you an heir,” he said, and I felt Xander’s eyes on me. Jack and Limuel are both quiet. Maybe they thought that there was nothing they could say to ease the tension.
“We already marked each other, and she’s back to me. I thought it was impossible as well and that it would never happen after she rejected me. But I still believe in the moon goddess, and here she is. If we won’t be able to have our son, that’s fine with me. There are a lot of good fighters in the pack to whom I can transfer my title. Limuel and Jack are here, to begin with, so I don’t need to worry about the future of the pack.” Xander replied, “I didn’t wait for Chassy so I could have an heir through her. I waited because I love her, and that’s all that matters,” he added before he looked at me.
I was speechless. I never thought that he was capable of saying such words. When I was still an omega working in the kitchen, I often heard her rumor about him being fierce and that many packs were afraid of getting in his way. But hearing him now, I don’t think that I was looking at the same alpha I used to know.
The meeting had ended, and Limuel started to call the alphas while Xander and I went to the training ground where the squad was waiting. His words were instilled in my head and my heart, and I couldn’t help but feel happy about it, no matter how much I tried to stop it. I hope this will never end.
