Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Chassy

“Chas!” Xander said this when I entered his office. He stood up and met me halfway. “I wanted to talk to you, and after you left, I felt so anxious,” he said. I believe him because, until now, he still looked that way.

“Yeah, I said we would talk about it, right?” I replied, and he nodded, so I walked to his table and sat on the chair in front. The same chair that Sena sat on when I found them talking here with Ethan

“Have you eaten? I’ll ask the kitchen to–”

“It’s fine; I already ate at Dad’s,” I said and waited for him to sit back in his chair. I am nervous; I don’t deny that. Who wouldn’t when even married couples get divorced? How much more us, who live separately?

“Chas, I know this is sudden. I wanted to think that it wasn’t true, but it is,” he started. “I love you, and the goddess knew how much. If only I could turn back time–”

“Stop it, Xander,” I said, and he started to look worried; he must have thought that I was going to reject him. I smiled at him and continued. “Don’t hurt your son, so don’t say it. It happened, and we can’t do anything about it. Don’t be too guilty about it since you didn’t have a mate at that time yet.”

“Chas…” Yes, he was speechless. He didn’t expect me to say those words.

“I admit, I felt hurt and threatened. A woman came here with your son. An heir that I know I can never give you. I started to think that she’d get all your favors, along with her son. While my son will be an outcast for being a human–”

“That’s not going to happen. I am not going to let it happen, Chas. I love you. I love everything about you, including the child that you will be able to give me. It’s not about having an heir. There’s a lot of good lineage of warriors in the pack that I can transfer my title to in the future. But there will only be one of you.” I felt touched.

‘See? Mate, love us.’ Thea said, and I couldn’t agree more.

“Anyway, Sena called,” he said, and that made me frown, and he smiled. “You’re pissed.”

“Who wouldn’t?”

“What did she say?”

“You didn’t know?” I asked curiously.

“She told me that you met at the diner and you got angry.”

“She wanted you back.”

“That’s not going to happen because I was never hers to begin with,” he immediately replied. I raised a brow at him, and he chuckled. “I like it.”

“What?”

“When you’re jealous, it makes me think that you love me.”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Sometimes I need to hear it, you know,” he replied, and that made me roll my eyes at him. I felt relieved after this conversation. Now, I have to prepare myself for his son. Will he accept me as his stepmother?

“About Ethan,” I said.

“I talked to him, and I think he’ll like you,” he replied.

“I hope so,” he smiled at me and got up from his chair before he stood up in front of me. He took my hand and made me stand as well.

“He will. You are the most understanding, caring, and loving person I’ve ever known,” he said as he caressed my face.

“Let me talk to him. I mean, just us.” I said. He looked at me intently, trying to gauge the gravity of my words. Then he smiled and said,

“Sure, I’ll call him here.” I nodded, and he left me to get the boy.

“How are you?” I asked, “How do you like the pack?” I added, smiling. I didn’t want him to feel scared or uncomfortable around me.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Fine, I guess,” he replied with his head down. I didn’t say anything because I wanted him to tell me more. He sighed and continued, “Are you going to tell me to stay away from Dad as well?” he asked, which made me crease my forehead.

“Did someone tell you that?” I asked,

“Mom said you wanted her to stay away from Dad.”

“When did she tell you that?”

“Earlier,”

“And you believe her?”

“She’s my mother,”

“Are you going to always believe her because she’s your mother?” I asked, and she looked at me.

“Are you telling me that she’s lying?” he asked,

“I did tell her to stay away from your father,” I told him, and he looked at me. “I don’t know if you will understand me since you’re still a boy. You haven’t met your mate yet either, so I know you don’t have any idea about what I am going to tell you.”

“I could try listening to it, right?” He replied, and I nodded, smiling.

“It’s simply because I am a woman, and I am scared that your mom will take your father away from me.”

“Aren’t you mates?” he asked,

“Yeah, but there are women who didn’t stop, even if they knew about it.”

“Just like my mom?” he asked again.

“She’s your mother, and she deserves to be respected by you. Whatever it was between her and me, remember that you have nothing to do with it.”

“So, you accept me here?”

“Why not? You are Xander’s son, and I don’t have the heart to take him away from you. But I am afraid that I am not going to let your mother stay here. I’m a very jealous woman, and so is my beast.” I answered, smiling, hoping he understood what I meant.

“My mother always tells me to be strong, so I train harder. She said that I was going to be the alpha of my father’s pack, so I shouldn’t disappoint him. She wanted what was best for me; I know that. But she also wants my father for herself.”

“Which will never happen as long as I live,” I replied.

“I am ten and saw many mates being together. I saw mom with different men as well, but I didn’t take it against her. What I don’t understand is that she wanted my father but let another man touch her. While you, wanted to fight for him.

“It’s because he is my mate.”

“I see..”

“Ethan,” I said, and he looked at me. “You are welcome here. Do what you have to do as Xander’s son. Gain everything you have to get. But I want you to learn to value and protect this pack, whether you’ll have it in the end or not. I am going, to be honest with you. When Xander and I have our child, as a mother, I would want him to get the title. But I am also a Luna, so I have to be fair and just. And I intend to be that way even after many years. I hope you get what I mean.”

He nodded his head, and slowly, his lips curled in a smile. I felt relieved because I knew right then and there that we would be able to live together in harmony.

“Luna,” he said,

“Call me what makes you comfortable.” He smiled and said,

“M- Mom, thank you..” I was shocked. Although I wanted him to call me that way, I didn’t expect him to do that; after all, he still had his mother.

I smiled and replied, “You are most welcome, son.” His face lit up, and he sat beside me and hugged me. Now I can tell that I am truly relieved about me, Xander, him, and the pack.
