Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Chassy

Alpha Xander is the last man I ever want to see in this lifetime. I started to panic when I heard our gamma mention his name. I don’t know what I will do if he is ready to attend the ceremony. Everything that I worked hard for in this pack, though it was still for a few months, will only come to waste because I am sure that I am going to leave everything behind just to avoid him.

I’m scared of facing him. What if I feel that old feeling again? I had already rejected him; wasn’t it only right not to feel anything towards him anymore? “I understand Alpha.” I heard Gamma Rick say, and I saw him looking at Daddy Jay. “Thank you for letting us know. Bye.” Then he put down the phone. “The Red Moon Pack won’t be able to attend the ceremony. He asked me if it was OK to send a representative, but I told him that it’s not necessary since I understand him,” he told us. I sighed in relief after I heard that, so, with a smile on my face, I told them.

“I’ll go and see Sims and Allie. We’ll get my gown in town.” They all nodded, and I left the alpha’s office. In the past months, study and training have been all I have done. I want to be strong and be able to fight for myself. I know that our pack is weak, and I can see how much Daddy Jay and the others tried to make us strong.

The pack’s wealth is nothing if we are being attacked and targeted by rogues. The businesses that the pack owns were being managed by a human. They had been scared for the safety of everyone since Luna Marcela, the previous Luna, died on her way home from town after she looked after the business. The most guilty was Gamma Rick because he was with her when that happened. And I didn’t know that Xander and his friends were there. I somehow felt proud of him.

No. I shouldn’t. I shook my head and dismissed the thought. I shouldn’t feel that way anymore. I had to forget him, or I would get myself stuck with him for life. “Hey, Chas!” I heard someone calling me and found Sims and Allie by Beta Simon’s car, grinning. I walked toward them, smiling. They are my friends, and they were good to me. The entire pack.

“You’ll never get away this time; let’s go and get your gown,” Allie said and opened the door in the backseat. He will be joining Sims in the front since the latter doesn’t want to appear like he’s our driver. We started driving and went to town.

I love going to town. I went there with Daddy Jay two weeks after they found me for my adoption. I need to sign on something to legalize it, and I guess wealth has something to do with it because it was processed ahead of time.

“We’re here,” Sims said, and I looked outside and found out that we were really in the dress shop. I got out of the car after Allie opened it for me.

“When are you going to stop that?” I asked as soon as I was out.

“What?” he asked, unaware.

“Don’t open the door for me; I am not some kind of royal.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I am trying to be a gentleman here. You should be happy that I am doing it through you,” he replied, which made Sims laugh. I rolled my eyes at them and went inside the shop. As usual, it was very cozy there.

“Hi, Cha!” Louie, the designer, greeted me. Seriously, my name will end up with just a letter “C” in the future, since letters have been deducted from my name every time I meet people. “I have been calling your pack so many times; finally, you’re here.”

“Yeah, right,” I replied, and he laughed.

“Come and fit it,” he said, leading me to the fitting room where my gown was waiting. Daddy Jay must have called him and informed him of our arrival. I fitted the gown and looked in the mirror. I have changed a lot. I don’t see the old Chastity in my reflection anymore, and it feels nostalgic. It’s not that I miss the old me; it just seems unreal.

I thought that I would end up being an outcast all my life. But the moon goddess gifted me with people who cared for and loved me and treated me not just as humans but as family. I saw a lone tear fall down my cheek, but I wiped it immediately. I didn’t want Sims and Allie to notice that I was being like this and making them worry.

“Are you not going to come out so we will be able to see how you look?” Allie asked impatiently. I smiled because, among us three, he was the most impatient. He was a curious guy who wanted to know everything, so Sims and I teased him all the time.

“No,” I replied and started to undress. I didn’t want them to see me now; they had to wait until the ceremony. I went out of the fitting room, and the two looked at me. While there was a smile on Sim’s face, it was all frustration on Allie’s.

Louie wrapped the gown, and Allie took it from him. “Thank you; come again,” he said.

“I am not going to wear anything like this anymore,” I replied, and he only laughed at me. It’s not that I didn’t like his designs; they were beautiful, and I know that he knows that. I just am not used to wearing clothes like that.

We left the shop and were on our way to the parking lot when I heard someone calling me. “Chastity!” I looked at both Sims and Allie, and they appeared not to hear it. Wait, is it just my hallucination? I shook my head and tried to listen to see if I would be able to hear it again.

‘Are you my wolf?’ I asked. Maybe I already have her, and I just had no idea about it. I gave up waiting for her right after I was accepted to the Silver Moon Pack, even if I was an omega. It’s not that I don’t need her anymore; of course, I would love to have one. But when she didn’t show up when I needed her, I felt alone and isolated.

“Chastity!” there it goes again. So, I looked around and tried to find out who it was.

“Chas, is there a problem?” Sims asked. They both looked worried when I looked at them, so I smiled and said,

“Nothing; I just thought that I heard something,” I replied and shook my head. What if he was one of the Red Moon Packs? No, I don’t think so. Why would they call me and get my attention, right? I was nothing and nobody to them.

I was about to get in the car when I heard it again: “Chastity! I’m your father!” Then I stiffened. Father, yeah, I had a father. A father that I had never seen. Why is he here, and how did he know it was me?
