Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Chassy

I ended up in a stream that I didn’t know was there. I had been living in the pack for 18 long years, and yet I had not gone outside the border. It was the first time that I saw something other than the kitchen in the pack house, the road I always take when I go there, and the room in which I slept. I just realized how foolish I am to stay in a place where I never felt like I belonged. I looked into the water and saw my reflection. The moonlight was so bright that I thought at least it would stay with me.

Because of the light that came from the moon, I saw how miserable I was. Is this how I am supposed to live? Will there be a chance that I will be happy? If everyone had a purpose for living, what was mine? Who’s going to be with me to materialize that purpose? Feeling tired and exhausted, plus the numbness and heaviness of my heart because of the rejection I had caused, I couldn’t help but lie down by the stream and close my eyes.

I didn’t know how long I had been sleeping, but I was woken up by the sound of a broken branch. I opened my eyes and got up before I looked around, and it was too late for me to run because a big brown wolf had already jumped at me. I guess being a rogue is like this, especially when I am a woman and have no wolf. Am I even considered a rogue in my condition? I had a feeling that they were a lot stronger than me. Then I decided to fight for my life. I can’t die like this.

The wolf didn’t move or do anything and just stared at me. Then, after a while, I heard the rustling sound of the leaves. When I looked at where it came from, I was shocked and scared to see another two big wolves. Just where did they come from? Then, the big brown wolf shifted. I turned around even if I feared for my life because one thing I know about our kind is that we were naked when we shifted back to our human form. “You can turn around now,” said the voice. It sounded a little old to me, but I still did what he said. “Who are you, and where did you come from?” he asked.

Should I tell them? I looked behind him and found the two wolves looking at me, and I just noticed that they didn’t look scary at all. “Are you not going to answer me, child?” the man asked again. With teary eyes, I smiled at him. Why? It was the first time that I was called that way. It was soft and sounded caring. “Did something happen?” the man asked again. Before he thought of anything else, I answered.

“I am Chastity Reid and a lone wolf. You can call me Chassy for short.”

“How did you end up here?”

“Am I in your territory? I’m really sorry. I was running away from someone, and I felt tired and weak as I ended up here.” I answered.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you have a place you can go?” he asked, and the two wolves behind me started to walk away. Or not? After a few minutes, two men came out from behind a tree. “Why do you always take a long time to answer?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Well, I thought that they were going to leave,” I said.

“They are my beta and gamma,” the man said, and my eyes grew wider. So he is an alpha.

“You’re the alpha?” I asked, and he nodded.

“Stay in my pack if you have no place to go,” he said.

“I- I–, I didn’t know what to say.”

“A simple thank you will be enough. Of course, that is if you are willing to come with us.” He replied, “If not, I would suggest that you take care of yourse-”

“I’m going.” I cut him off. “I’m going with you,” I added, and he nodded. Then he looked at his beta and gamma again, who were both smiling at me. I should feel worried, right? I mean, I don’t know them at all, but I felt comfortable around them. I have never felt this before. Even with my own mother’s presence, I have never felt this relaxed. Who are they really?

“Don’t think too much; when we are back to the pack house, I am going to tell you something,” the alpha said before we started walking. “Anyway, I am Alpha Jay, and he is my beta, Simon, and my gamma, Rick,” he added, introducing them to me. The two gave me a warm smile, which I returned with a nod. Then we started walking until we reached the roadside, where we found an SUV. “Get in,” Alpha Jay said after he opened the backseat door, as Beta Simon went to the passenger side and Gamma Rick to the driver’s side. Why are the three of them together in the middle of the night? Wait, is it still night?

My eyes turned outside the window, and I saw that the sun had started to rise as well. So it is morning. “When we arrived at the pack house, we just felt at home. No one is going to harm you there. You have to rest and sleep because you look like shit.” Alpha Jay said, which made the two in front laugh. “I am going to ask someone to call you at noon, so take a bath before you have your lunch,” he added. “Wait, do you want to eat breakfast before you rest?” he asked worriedly. He must have thought that I had already been in the stream for a very long time.

“I’d rather sleep first,” I replied, smiling. Yes, I should sleep. I needed a rest from the pain that I am still feeling at this very moment. Even now, I wanted to close my eyes already, but I tried not to. I wanted to know where we were going. At least to make sure that I am safe. And I hope I am.
