Chapter 107
Chassy
Xander is acting weird. Ever since I woke him up from his dream, he looked like he had been in deep thought. And during the meeting, he said something that worries me. How can he say that the rogues will attack us? It was as if he already saw it and wanted us to prepare for that day. I don’t know exactly what he dreamed about. But with the fear and relief on his face when he saw me and told him that he was dreaming, I felt that something scares him.
“I am going to bring Jack with me. We will visit the Howlers Pack and see what the squad is doing.” I told Xander.
“Be careful on your way there, honey,” he replied.
“Of course. You know that we still have a lot to do and prepare for. I am not going to let anything happen to me, that’s for sure.”
“How long will you stay there?” he asked, and then worry crossed his face. Just like me, he feels scared whenever we are apart. But I had to leave and check if everything was okay.
“A day or two?” I answered. “Not sure yet; it depends on the situation.”
“I want to come with you, but I don’t think leaving the pack now is a good idea,” he said, concerned.
“That’s what I thought too. So, I didn’t bother asking you to come with me and bring Jack instead to lessen your worry.”
“Fair enough,” he replied before he kissed me. Oh, I am going to miss this for a few days when I’m away.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“For now, I have to go and check the pups in the kindergarten. The teachers told me that their playground needed some rehabilitation, and I want to check how much work we need.”
“Alright, honey. See you at lunch then,” he replied, so I kissed him before I left his office and went to the kindergarten.
On my way, Mom approached me. I have nothing against her anymore, and I let all my hatred go. Dad was happy with her, so I decided to accept everything, and yes, we are okay, and I can sincerely say that I love her. “Dear, Alpha mind-linked me and told me to come with you.” I smiled and nodded before we walked our way.
In kindergarten, I saw pups playing, and they all ran to me when they saw me. I spread my arms and prepared myself for their assault. Being with them is a breath of fresh air. Despite all the threats that we were facing, these pups gave me hope that everything was going to be okay and that we would be able to get through anything as a pack.
“How is everybody?” I asked,
“Fine, Luna!” they all shouted. I smile at the thought that they are happy and content with what Xander and the other ranked officials could provide them. In fairness to my mate, I heard from everyone that he did everything he could to give the pack the best and meet everyone’s needs.
“I heard that there is some equipment that is not functioning in the playground; is that true?” I asked, and they all nodded. “Can you lead me there so I can check?”
“Yes, Luna!” They all answered, and they started pulling me to the playground.
“Luna,” a teacher, greeted me while she helped me assist the pups. I nodded and smiled at her as I greeted her back.
“It’s fine,” I told the teacher when she tried to stop the kids from getting excited.
“Thank you, Luna,” she replied, and then she accompanied me and Mom to show me the playground equipment that needed repair for the children’s safety as well.
“Luna the seesaw, I can’t play with my sister because she was afraid that I’d fall since there’s nothing to hold on to.” one of the kids said. And I saw that the handles of the seesaw were rusted and had come off from welding, so it was prone to accidents. One by one, we also inspected the swings, slides, and other equipment that the children like to use. Quite a lot needs to be repaired. I should be able to do them. But I have to go to the Howlers Pack, so I’ll just call someone from the Silver Moon Pack who can fix them if no one is available here in the Red Moon Pack.
I want to finish everything I need to check as Luna of the pack before Jack and I leave. Especially at school. Students need good facilities that they can use to enjoy and study well. I can’t ignore even the smallest thing because I believe that school begins a good foundation of the character of each individual that they will carry into adulthood, so it is necessary to give them everything they need to learn and grow so that they can be responsible not only to their family but also to the pack.
When I was still studying, I used to stay in the library, so I never missed the opportunity to visit it if there were still enough books for the students. I remember that there were many different kinds of books that I liked to read. It also became my hiding place from the pack members who bullied me.
And of course, the most important of all are the students themselves. I want them to understand that everyone is a pack member, with or without their wolf. So, they should learn to respect and honor each other. I want them to learn to be supportive of weak members. I want them to feel that they are not alone because we are one pack and one family.
We didn’t have a Luna when I was studying, so no one looked after the students, their needs, or the school. Now that I am, I want them to know that everyone has to be responsible. I am just here, ready to help and support them.
“Dear,” Mom said, bringing me back from my trance. “I want to take this opportunity to thank you for forgiving me.” She said it sincerely. I took a deep breath because I did not want to talk about the past anymore. It was not because of anything else, if not because I wanted us to move on. I am willing to forget everything since we are starting to live well and happily as a family with Dad.
“I already told you that it was okay. You don’t need to apologize again because I have forgiven you. Dad made me understand what you are going through, and I realize, that I was not the only one who has been hurt; it was you as well.”
“Thank you so much. You don’t know how happy I am because you accepted me without hesitation,” she answered.
“Dad explained to me everything. And if I can’t forgive you, Dad won’t be able to forgive himself either, because he blames himself for what happened to the two of us. Let’s forget the past, Mom. I know in my heart that I already forgave you, and I love you and Dad.”
My mother couldn’t hold back anymore, and she started crying and hugging me. I did the same, and again, I felt her love. There is no pretense because I feel very peaceful. Fortunately, we were the only two in the principal’s office after we sent the kids to their respective classrooms. Mr. Mills just went out for a while to pick up other school-required lists.
The day ended as Mom and I came to an understanding, and I was able to accomplish my goal. The next day, I will assign someone who knows how to fix the equipment or ask Daddy Jay to send someone here, and of course, someone who will buy necessary school supplies.
I’m happy with what I have now. If it wasn’t for the threat of vampires, everything would have been fine. I am with Xander, who is my mate; I am accepted by the entire Red Moon Pack; and most of all, I am with my parents. These are the ones I will never let the vampires destroy, and I will do anything to stop them. I’m ready for them, and I hope Xander is ready too. Whatever he’s going through right now, I hope he shares it with me and doesn’t carry it alone. We need each other to overcome all that will come in our lives that will test our abilities as Alpha and Luna, as well as our being mates.
