Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

“I’m sorry for being late,” I said when we arrived in the pack’s conference room. I called the Silver Moon Pack because I was expecting them to come here first since they were the nearest. But after everyone had arrived and they were not yet here, I got worried, and it arose when Jay told me that Chastity and her beta and gamma had already left the pack. He told me that he was going to call me back and ended the call. After a few minutes, he called me back, informed me of what had happened, and told me where those three were. So, I decided to leave and get them myself. “We fought with vampires on our way back,” I added when I saw that they were waiting for an explanation about our reason.

“Why don’t you change first before we start the meeting?” Limuel told Chastity.

“I’m fine,” she replied with a stoic face. I guess she was still mad at the pack. I left my beta here and brought Jack instead of being the gamma when I went to the diner because he is the second in command and it was only right to leave the alphas with him.

“Here,” I said, trying to get her attention. I want her to sit beside me.

“It’s OK, Alpha. I am going to sit with them,” she replied, following her beta and gamma. She has her mind and will to follow. I let her because they will be staying here in the pack for the next 2 days along with the other alphas and their betas, and today was just an introduction for everyone.

“Since everyone is here, I want to welcome you all to the Red Moon Pack.” I started as I roamed my eyes around, looking at everyone.

“Why does Luna have to be here?” asked one of the betas after he raised his hand, asking permission to speak.

“I don’t remember giving you the chance to talk yet, beta,” I said,© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I was just curious,” he replied.

“Can I answer that?” Chastity asked, and of course, I let her, because I already had a feeling that she would still do that even if I said no. “I am here so I can watch these two,” she replied, smiling. I didn’t expect her to say that; I thought she would be too arrogant to announce to everyone that she’s the alpha as well.

“I see,” the beta replied, smiling. He might not have expected her answer as well and must have provoked her or anyone with her beta and gamma.

“I don’t know if you all know everyone, but to make ourselves familiar with each other, let us introduce ourselves,” I said, and I started, followed by Limuel and then Jack. The next is the alpha and his beta from the Howlers Pack, and so on and so forth until it was the Silver Moon Pack’s turn.

“I’m Allie, the pack gamma.”

“Sims, the beta,”

“Where the hell is your alpha?” asked the beta from the Eclipse Pack, who asked about Luna being present at this meeting.

“We are not done yet,” Chastity said, and they all looked at her. “I’m Chastity, the Alpha!” everyone gasped after. They didn’t expect her to be the alpha. I mean, no one expects her to be the Alpha.

“I thought you were Luna?” The beta asked, “I couldn’t even feel your aura. I thought you were a human,” he added.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, beta, but I am Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!” she replied, and then she released her aura, which made everyone’s eyes widen. The alphas might laugh at her because we felt that she was just slightly stronger than the betas and gammas around us. But I know better. I saw her fight the vampires, and out of five of them, Jack and I only managed to kill one while she took down three in human form.

‘Mate is strong,’ Rion said, making himself present to our mate, so I was not surprised when she looked at me. I could feel it; our bond was still there, even if she rejected me. It was a good decision not to accept it after all.

“Are you saying that the Silver Moon Pack is now relying on a female alpha?” the alpha from the Howlers Pack asked arrogantly.

“Do we have a problem with me being a female?” she asked. I don’t think she will need me to put this alpha in his place, so I will just let her deal with him. I am proud to see her verbally fighting and winning. “Are you thinking that I am only good for a fu**?” she asked, and I growled. I didn’t want her to say something like that, but she just rolled her eyes at me.

“C,” her beta said, as if warning her.

“We apologize for her words,” her grandmother said, smiling. Just how did she tell her pack that they were too casual?

“Why did you apologize? It was actually what he was thinking,” she told Allie.

“Still, Alpha Jay and your dad will get mad once they find out that we didn’t stop you from saying such words.”

“Yeah, right. Fine,” she said, and then looked at everyone. “None of you know me, so I will appreciate it if you respect me the way I respect you. I have my beta and gamma with me, but not for the purpose of protecting me. It was to stop me just in case I lose control and forget that I am an alpha, so please cooperate. Let’s respect each other.”

“You’re acting like you are better than us; you’re a woman, and, just like you said, you’re only good for a fu**.” The beta said, and I think that angered her because she stood up and, like her beta and gamma,

“C,” the two said,

“It’s not worth it,” Sims said, looking her in the eyes. Before she went on a rampage, I interfered.

“I won’t tolerate disrespect in my pack. If you please, Alpha Neil, look after your beta if you don’t want me to do the honor of punishing him.” I said, warning them.

“Are you siding with her?”

“I am siding with what is right. No matter what, she’s the alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, so you have to respect her. If you cannot do that, you are free to leave my pack.” I answered. “We are here to form an alliance,” I continued, and I looked at each and every one of them, including my mate. “If you cannot give the basic requirement of an allied pack, which is respect, you are not welcome to join. As allied packs, we have to trust each other, and we won’t be able to do that if we cannot respect one another.”

“And Alpha Neil, before you belittle Alpha Chastity for being a woman, let me tell you that out of the five vampires we encountered on our way here, Alpha and I killed one of them while she managed to kill the three,” Jack said, which made everyone gasp and hold their breath. “If you think that’s unbelievable, let me add that she did that in her human form,” he added, and that literally made their jaws drop. “So, if I were you, be careful with your words.”

“Enough,” Chastity said. “We didn’t come here to brag about what we did. We are here for one cause, and that is to defeat the vampire that was threatening our kind’s extinction. We shouldn’t allow arrogance, as it will only hinder our alliance. We need to forge trust and respect for us to be able to succeed with our goal. If you don’t like to fight side by side with a woman, why not consider fighting side by side with an allied friend?”

That nailed it. I don’t know if they could still say anything bad about her or question her ability. With her words, she already showed them who the real Alpha is. And I couldn’t be prouder, because she’s my mate. Mine alone.
