Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Third Person

“Alpha,” Merlisa said as she entered his office. “You called for me,” she added, and he nodded as he motioned for her to sit in front of him.

“I called you because I want to tell you some important things, and I want you to meet someone,” Xander said while the omega was silent, waiting for him to continue. “Why did you neglect and abuse Chassy?” he asked, which made Merlisa look at him with teary eyes.

“I don’t know, Alpha,” Merlisa answered. “After my mate left us, I felt so alone and didn’t want to live anymore. It was already hard for me when pack members were looking down at me after I lost my wolf, and his disappearance was a big blow.”

“You don’t need to do that to her. She had nothing to do with Dranreb leaving the pack,” Xander said, which made her look at him guiltily.

“I know that, Alpha. And it pains me to see how hurt she was, but I couldn’t help it. I was wrong to vent all my anger and frustrations at her. I know that, but I still did it because there was no one I could blame but myself. I knew that she would be the next target when she grew up, and me being like this wouldn’t be able to do anything for her as well. Because I was lacking, my mate left me as well.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Your embrace and presence could have been her shelter when everyone was belittling her. When she is being bullied, even if you can’t fight for her, at least you are there to show how it feels to become important.” Xander said, “But I don’t blame this on you alone. Being an alpha, I should have known about this as well. Even after finding out that she’s my mate, I still didn’t do anything for her and neglected her as well,” he added. Merlisa looked at her with shock.

“You’re mates?” she asked, and Xander nodded.

“And she rejected me after she left the pack,” Xander admitted. “But I never accepted it, because I know that she’s going to come back to me,” he added, and they heard a knock.

“Come in.” The door opened, and Jack came in with Dranreb.

“Bernie,” Merlisa said with teary eyes.

“Lis,” he replied,

“I am going to leave you two here and talk. This is all I can do for both of you,” Xander said, looking at Jack and motioning for him to come out with him.

Dranreb and Merlisa were left alone and were just staring at each other for a few minutes. “I’m sorry,”

“What are you sorry for?” Merlisa asked.

“For leaving you and our daughter,” Dranreb answered in a low voice. He looked at her and realized how much she missed his mate. He had not stopped thinking about her, and all those times, he was feeling guilty knowing how the pack was treating her. “I know, I should not have done that. I should have stayed with you since I know what you have been going through because of the pack members,” he added. Merlisa’s eyes widened. She didn’t know that her mate knew about it. She had tried to hide it from him because she didn’t want him to stay away from her as well. She was scared that, because she had lost her wolf, he would think that she would become unable to protect them from other pack members whom she knew were heartless enough to add salt to her wounded heart.

“You knew.” Dranreb nodded and told Mewrlisa how he found out about it.

“It was all my fault. I should not have let you mark me. It was because of me that you lost your wolf.”

“What do you mean?” Merlisa asked, so he told her about his family. what he was and even about Chassy. “I couldn’t believe it. All along, I thought she would be a wolf less like me.”

“No, she’s going to be a strong female Lycan.”

“Why didn’t you tell me that?” Merlisa said. “You could have told me; we could have taken care of our daughter together. You could have guided her as she grew up about her mission,” she added, crying.

“I’m sorry, Lis. I am so scared to face you, blaming me for losing a part of you.”

“I would never do that. If you had told me that, I would still mark you as mine. There’s nothing more important to me than you. Our daughter was unexpected, but even if I was like that to her, I know in my heart that I love her. She comes from me; I just hate the thought that I had to take care of her knowing you are in someone else’s arms.”

“I’m really sorry,” Dranreb said, pulling Merlisa closer to him and hugging her. He missed her so much. He didn’t go far away because he was hoping to see her one day.

“Bernie, our daughter is mad at me. I did a terrible thing to her,” Merlsia said, crying in her arms.

“Shhh, I know, but give her some time, and she’ll understand. She’s the kindest person I’ve ever known, besides you.”

“I am no longer like that. I had become a bad mother. So bad that my daughter didn’t even want to see.”

“She will be able to forgive us in time. I know she will be able to find it in her heart and realize that we love her. We just need to show her that,” Dranreb said as he wiped his mate’s tears.

“Alpha Xander tried to make her talk to me, but she refused.”

“Of course, she was still in pain.”

“How can you believe me when I say that I love our daughter?”

“Because you still named her Chastity. No matter how much you love me, you didn’t give her the name that I wanted. Remember, when we were dating, I told you that I wanted to have a baby girl and would name her Athena? But you said it was for a strong woman, and you wanted our future daughter to grow up pure and innocent, so you wanted to name her Chastity.”

“You wanted to name her Athena because you knew that she’s going to have a Lycan?” Merlisa asked, glaring at him while Dranreb scratched the back of his head. They continued their conversation until Xander and Jack entered the office. Right then and there, the alpha knew that the two were now back in each other’s arms.

“Thank you, Alpha,” the two said before they left the office and decided to make Chastity accept them as her parents. They hope and pray to the moon goddess that she will hear them and that they will become one happy family.
