24- We are strong
Xander
“What do you think?” Limuel asked. I shook my head as I looked at him before I sighed heavily. Chassy, along with her beta and gamma, left the pack right after we talked. I admit that I was jealous because they seemed to be close with each other, and the fact that her beta was the one she was with when I felt that unbearable pain made me feel more insecure.
“Luna is very tough,” Jack replied. “She’s strong, and you would be in awe if you ever saw her fight those vampires. Now I understand why you said that she would be difficult to deal with,” he added.
“Do you think you will be able to get her back?” my beta asked again.
“Can you stop asking?” I asked too. “Yes, I had a feeling that I would have a hard time making her come back to me. But her beast wants me and Rion, so I think it’s not impossible. She was just hurt and still in pain, especially when a lot of the pack members tormented her, including her mother,” I added.
“But one thing is a mystery to me,” Jack said. “How the hell didn’t we have any idea about that? I mean, we are just here. No one dared to help her by telling us that she was being bullied. I mean, there was nothing to hate about her. Even if she still has no wolf by this time, she’s beautiful even before–” he said, but I stopped because I growled. “I was just saying that I had no intention of taking her away from you. I don’t think that I could handle her either, so she’s all yours.”
“So, what do you plan to do?” Limuel asked again,
“Just do what we need to do. If I am given a chance to talk to her during those times that we are together, then I am going to try and explain to her. If she pushes me away, I will just have to try again.”
“We will do our best to give you time together when she’s here,” Jack said, which made me roll my eyes at him. Between him and Limuel, he was the one who felt closer to Chassy since he was a gamma. He has a natural instinct for protecting her as his Luna.
“Just do your fu****g jobs, and we will have no problem. I can deal with her myself and consider her already back to us,” I replied with conviction.
“That’s the spirit,” Limuel said, and I chuckled. They left my office, and I was left alone again. During this time, I talked to Rion to ask for guidance. I was glad that he told me everything that Thea had told him, so I had my hopes up with regard to our bond.
‘Thank you; I don’t know what I would do if not for your guidance.’ I told him,
‘They are ours, so I had to do what I needed to do for them to get back to us.’
‘Why wasn’t Thea mad at us?’
‘I think she knew something that we don’t.’
‘What could it possibly be? ‘
‘Just be patient with our mate; she’ll get by. That’s what the moon goddess promised you, right?’
‘Yes. That’s why I hurt her.’
‘And you are such an idiot for almost marking her on the last night that she was here,’ he said. That was true, but he stopped me.
‘Did you know something that I don’t as well?’ I asked. He’s not going to do it if he doesn’t know anything. For a wolf, marking their mate is the first thing they will do once they find them. But for him, it was different. He didn’t want us to mark Chassy at that time, but we both wanted her. ‘Tell me now; we are in this together.’ I encouraged him.
‘Since we have finally seen her, then I am going to tell you why.’ he said. Then he started telling me unbelievable things.
‘What?’ I exclaimed. ‘How is that possible? ‘Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
‘I don’t know either. But the moon goddess and even Thea confirmed it. You will lose me if you ever mark her that time,’ he answered.
‘So, even if she comes back to us, we still can’t mark her?’ I asked, confused. What’s the use of being mates if we won’t be able to mark each other?
‘I’m not sure about that. But here’s what Thea said: They will mark us when Chassy is ready.’ I sighed in relief after. I thought that we would have no chance to show everyone that we were together. Marking is our way of showing others that we belong to each other. If we can’t do that, anyone who would want us will mark us instead.
‘I just hope that it was sooner. You saw how much she declined my request to have a talk with her mother. How much more if we talk to her about us?’
‘We still have the bond we can hold on to help us get her. Don’t lose hope, because the moon goddess will definitely give her back to us, as she promised.’
‘Yes, I will hold on to that. For now, let us see what we can do to those vampires who are threatening our kind.’
‘You bet. We need to be stronger to be able to fight with her. That’s what the moon goddess said, right?’ he asked,
‘Yes. And I will make sure that she won’t be harmed by anyone. No vampire or anything else could hurt her. Not when I’m around.’ I replied,
‘When we’re around, not you alone. We, Xander. We.’ I chuckled. He’s really competitive.
‘Yes, Rion. We.’ I said, and he retreated to the back of my head.
Something big is going to happen, and Chassy is a big part of it. That’s why it happened. That’s why she had to leave and become stronger. If she stays here, I don’t think that she will become like she is now. Maybe that’s the moon goddess’s reason for letting that happen to us. For both of us to get stronger than we already are. Yes, I could feel it. We are strong.
