44- Momentary
Chassy
Without the vampire’s threat, my life would be blissful. Although I am very happy being with Xander right now, I still couldn’t help but worry. I have responsibilities, and I have to be with everyone. I know that I am strong, and Thea told me that we really are. When I asked her about the possible outcome of the war, she didn’t say anything and said she also had no idea. All she knew was that we were to protect our kind in the upcoming war. Whether we will win or not depends on us.
We continue our training, and there are times that I go back to the Silver Moon Pack. I am glad that everything was going smoothly there, and there were no unnecessary incidents on record. Yes, I was worried for them whenever I was in the Red Moon Pack, but Sims and the others made me relaxed, as they assured me that they could manage and would definitely call me if something happened.
Two weeks have passed, and my relationship with Xander is getting better and better. I liked it when he was so protective and possessive of me. I love it even more when he feels annoyed whenever he tells me that he wants to protect me, but I always reply, “I can manage.” Even a great painter won’t be able to paint him when he pouts his lips, but I find him attractive when he does that.
I get along well with Mom and Dad as well. I was glad that my father decided to stay in the pack. Daddy Jay was worried about him, thinking the vampire would target him first when they found out about his family. “A penny for your thoughts?” I smiled when I saw Xander. I was at the back of the pack house. The same place where I used to stay when I was still working here
“Just thinking about how good life is now,” I replied, “minus the vampires, of course,” I added and chuckled. He sighed before sitting beside me.
“If only we could just skip this part of our lives,” he said with a sad look on his face. “I would not have wasted three years of being away from you. I would have informed you earlier, no matter how young you are,” he added. I smiled at the thought of his frustration at that time. I can’t imagine someone finding their mate, but he couldn’t do anything about it since she was too young to know that she already had her mate.
“I don’t know what I would do if you suddenly stood up in front of me and told me that I was yours too. I am only eleven and not thinking about having a mate at all.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yeah, you must have thought that I was crazy,” he replied, chuckling. Then, out of nowhere, he said, “Thank you, Chas.” I looked at him, and I found him looking at me as well. His eyes were full of love and adoration, and I could feel how special I was to him. “For accepting me back. Over the years, I felt so guilty, thinking I had added to your suffering. I should have soothed you, comforted you, and loved you unconditionally.”
“We already talked about this, Xander.”
“I know, but let me tell you how much I regretted that. Even if it was the moon goddess’s decision, I still feel that I failed you.”
“We are mates, and that’s all that matters. You don’t need to keep yourself reminded about our past; it’s not healthy.” I replied,
“I know, and I still thank you for your understanding,” he said before pulling me closer to him. I lean on his chest and wrap my arms around him. I really wish this would never end. We stayed there for a few more minutes before we got up and went back to the pack house for thirty more minutes. The omegas will start to set the table for dinner, and we didn’t want them to call us. I told everyone that they were not to be called individually anymore in times like this. The omegas have a lot of things to do, and calling them during meals is not included.
It’s not because my mother was one of them; it’s because I had been an omega once, and I know how they work. I just wanted them to feel valued by every pack member by being considerate of them.
There were young warriors in the living room having happy conversations while waiting for supper. They greeted us when they saw us. “How did the training go?” Xander asked.
“Good, Alpha…” They all replied.
“How good?” he asked again while I watched them. The young ones are very respectful. They didn’t want to anger Xander and do everything he told them to do. I watch them in their training whenever I have time, so they will know that I am with them as well, even if I have a pack of my own and a squad to look after. I want them to know and feel that I am their Luna and that I am willing to provide them with everything they need as well.
“Super good, Alpha,” one of them said. “We had a sparring session, and even if I lose to Mico, I’m still happy because I managed to hit him with the technique that Luna has taught us,” he added, which made Xander look at me while I shrugged my shoulders, bragging. Of course, I was smiling while doing that, so he just rolled his eyes at me.
“Is that true?” I asked,
“Yes, Luna,” they all replied.
“Then, shall we have a sparring tomorrow?” I asked the boy, which made his eyes widen in excitement.
“Yes, Luna!” the boy exclaimed.
“Are you sure about that?” Xander asked him, and he nodded his head immediately, smiling. My mate looked at me happily and said, “What can I do? You already gave him your word.”
“I don’t joke around when it comes to training, Xander,” I replied, looking at the boy. “Be sure that you are ready to get hurt tomorrow,” I said.
“Yes, Luna!” he replied enthusiastically. Then we went to the dining hall, where I invited them since it was time for dinner. We ate happily, and I saw excitement on their faces. Oh, I can’t wait to break some of the boy’s bones tomorrow.
The next day, it was still very early, but I got up before Xander and went to the bathroom to take a bath. I want to be ready for my sparring session with the boy and to teach the others as well. Yes, I am excited, too, because I feel like I am beginning to get closer to them.
I was supposed to go back to the Red Moon Pack, but because of the sparring session, I delayed it for a day. I was too happy and never thought that it was only momentary.
