70- Sena is Found
Xander
I can’t believe it. How is that even possible? Silas is also her mate. Shouldn’t I feel that too? I know that having two mates is not impossible. But sharing my Chas with a bloodsucker is far from normal and possible. It was very impossible. It’s an abomination. There’s no way that mortal enemies like them will become mates. Just what the hell is the moon goddess thinking? Why is she playing a game like this? No, this is impossible. This is not happening.
Chassy left the pack to visit the Silver Moon Pack. Whether she admits it or not, she will be talking to the former Alpha, Jay, about it. She respected the old man, and I knew that she would believe everything he told her. I want to ask Limuel and Jack about this as well, but I’m afraid that they won’t be taking this lightly. I know them. I know how much they hate vampires, and I didn’t want this mate thing to affect the way they see and look at my mate.
“Xander.” It was Limuel; we were on the training ground and looking after the training of our warriors. All the squad members are now distributed to different packs to share the training regimen that Chassy made for everyone and to train with the pack’s warriors as well, so they will be able to form a good rapport and learn fighting techniques they can use when the time comes. “Please don’t deny it; I know that you are troubled. You know that, aside from being your beta, I am also your best friend. Tell me what’s bothering you,” he added.
I know that I can count on him, and no matter what, he and Jack will try to understand everything. “Is it about Luna? Did something happen that you didn’t want us to know?” Why the hell did he suddenly get sharp?Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t worry about me; I can handle my own problem,” I replied,
“You know that when it comes to Luna, you need more than just handling it,” he replied, and I chuckled.
“Why have you suddenly become this sharp?” I asked, teasing and trying to divert our topic.
“Do I look like an idiot to you?” He asked, looking serious.
“Of course not. I know that I can count on you and Jack. But believe me, I can handle this. I’ll let you know when it’s too much for me.” He sighed heavily, his voice laced with concern.
“Don’t hesitate to tell me or Jack anything. I want you to know that you are not alone; you may be the alpha and have to be strong and dependable, but you are also a human who needs support from your people.”
“I know, man. I know. And thank you for your concern.” I replied, smiling while tapping him on the shoulder. I want him to feel that I am fine and that there is nothing for him to worry about. He nodded and was about to get back to the training when the wind blew from the south, and we both stiffened when we smelled something we shouldn’t.
“Inform the security to ring the alarm,” I told him.
‘Everyone, in your defense formation.’ I told the patrol guards on duty through the mental link. It was a good thing that Chassy was not here, and I will be able to fight those bloodsuckers freely.
‘Yes, Alpha!’ they all replied before Limuel and I made our way to the south border.
‘Remember to conceal your presence and catch them off guard, especially when they are the ones who enter our border.’
‘Noted, Alpha.’ I hope they don’t jump at any enemy headlessly. Chassy and I have been teaching them the power of patience and the element of surprise. They should show that in real combat.
We were almost at the border, and the scent of those bloodsuckers had started to fade. I wonder what’s going on in there. ‘Alpha, they started to retreat one by one,’ the patrol reported.
‘Just keep yourselves hidden. Do not engage.’
‘Copy, Alpha.’
‘Limuel, why do you think they retreated?’
‘I had no idea either. I think we will just have to find out when we get there,’ he replied. The south border is far from where we were earlier. But because Chassy taught us to be on high alert all the time and enhance our senses without putting in so much effort, Limuel, Jack, and I could smell any scent within the pack’s territory, especially when it comes to the wind.
‘Alpha, four of them stayed.’
‘Keep hidden. Don’t let them know your number.’
‘Yes, Alpha.’
‘Keep me informed.’ I sighed heavily and ran as fast as I could. Rion was enraged as well. Just like me, he didn’t like the idea of sharing our mate with a bloodsucker. ‘Limuel faster,’ I mind-linked my beta, and I could feel his speed up.
‘One of us was fighting them now, Alpha.’
‘Fuck! How did that happen?’ I asked,
‘They caught him,’
‘How is he?’
‘Fighting well, and I instructed them to back him up the way we practice during training.’ I sighed in relief, thinking they were doing well.
‘Faster Limuel, they started the party already!’ I told my beta, and we continued running as fast as we could. Nervously, I prayed that everyone would be unscathed once we got there.
I could almost see my patrols and feel the others around. They were my pack members, so I knew where they were positioned.
“What’s going on?” I asked when Limuel and I reached the border and found everyone looking at something.
“Alpha!” they all greeted as they made way for us while one of them handed me and Limuel our shorts.
“What’s going on?” I asked again after I wore the shorts and looked at them.
“It’s Sena,” the patrol leader said with his head down. I continued walking and found Sena’s dead body pinned to the tree. I didn’t like her, but I didn’t want something like this to happen to her as well. Her body is filled with puncture wounds where the fangs pierced her skin. All the bitten areas were bruised and swollen. She looks pale because of blood loss; those blood suckers dried her dead, and I didn’t want my son to see her like this. I want to cry for Ethan’s loss, and for me personally, I feel sorry for what has happened to her. She just lost her father, and now her life
I think about my son. Chassy should come back; I don’t know, and I don’t have any idea how I am going to tell this news to my son. This is disheartening.
