Chapter 91
Silas
There’s nothing I can do about what Drake had done, and I had a feeling that Chastity thought that I was the one who told them to do that. Being her mate made things difficult for me, and let’s not forget about her other mate, the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, Xander Finch. He is already a formidable foe, but now that we are sharing a bond with Chastity, I’m sure that he is feeling the same way as I do. I don’t want to share my mate with anyone else, especially a wolf like him.
In a short time, I found out everything about him. After Chastity told me about them being mates, I couldn’t rest. I want to know who and what he is. I want to know whether I would be able to get Chastity from him easily or whether he would be easy to deal with. But, to my dismay, he is not. He’s nothing like I hoped he was. Xander Finch is the strongest Alpha in the region, and all of his neighboring packs, as well as those from other regions, wanted to form an alliance with him.
The last time Chastity and I talked, it was unclear whether we would pursue this bond or not. But her words are clear: She’s going to fight me if I choose to fight her as well. I am the vampire leader, and it was my responsibility to protect and give my coven around the world the safety they deserve.
Yes, we live by sucking on humans’ blood, which causes them to die. But for years, I tried to solve that problem so we too, just like wolves, would be able to live with them in harmony. It started when Carlile found his mate, and he was too hungry but couldn’t get his fangs on her. He loves her so much, so he decided to make an alternative. He drank animal blood instead, but that wasn’t enough, and the government didn’t want to see dead animals either.
Carlile, that friend of mine, was the one who helped me develop a blood clone. I forbid everyone to take on human blood, and because of the wealth we already have, it was successful research. I am thankful to my friend and his family. That’s why I was so mad at what they did to Sena. I am trying to change our barbaric way of living, but they were choosing to act like animals.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
I need to see Chastity and talk to her. I want to let her know that I am not the one behind the attack on her pack. I want her to understand that I also want to live peacefully, but the wolves are trying to stop everything we try to do to survive. That’s why I want to eliminate them. As for Xander, I don’t know what I will do about him. He doesn’t like me, and I don’t like him either, and I had a feeling that he was going to be a hindrance to my plans, may it be about Chastity or the long-standing conflict between our kinds.
With determination, I went to the mansion I own under Dom, Carlile’s great-grandson’s name. I didn’t know that I would be using this property this way. All I was thinking of when I decided to get this was that I would have a place I could stay if I felt toxic and wanted to be alone to think. I stayed there and made a phone call to Chastity. “Sims,” the guy answered. Why wasn’t she there when I dialed her office number?
“This is Silas; I want to talk to Chastity,” I replied. I heard him sigh before he answered.
“For what?” he asked.
“Why do you care?’
“If you’re not going to tell me, I am not going to give her the phone. I am her beta, and she’s not just my alpha but my Luna as well, so I am very protective of her.”
“I need to talk to her about the attack on your pack,” I replied. They must have cared about her so much. I shouldn’t comply with him, but if I must go through this so I can talk to her, I’ll do it.
“Are you going to tell her that you have nothing to do with it?” he asked. Am I that obvious?
“Why do you talk too much? I don’t need to explain it to you.”
“I am also a member of the pack that your kind along with the rogues attacked, so I also have the right to hear your explanation. Besides, I am the beta here, and in Alpha’s absence, I have the authority and permission from C to talk to you when it comes to pack matters.”
“I’ll be in the place where she caught me in two days. She comes, or I’ll get in.” I said that and ended the call. I had no time to deal with a mutt like him. I should only care about Chastity and no one else. Yes, that’s right. They are none of my concern, and I don’t care about whether they will like me or not. I should focus on Chastity and myself and no one else.
It sounded like I was threatening, but I only wanted to talk to my mate. If she doesn’t want to, I am going to force myself in, no matter what. “My Lord,” said Dom. I looked at him with weary eyes. “You don’t look OK.”
“It’s because I’m not,” I replied. I am happy that, despite being a pure human, he wasn’t scared of me. He accepted my kind, and so did the wolf. His mind is open to all supernatural beings and is ready to accept them.
“Is it about your mate?” he asked. “Forgive me if I ask this.”
“It’s alright; talking to you is a breath of fresh air. Anyway, why did you ask about me having a mate?”
“Carlile said that vampires don’t get distracted by anything unless their mates.”
“Talking through his experience, huh?”
“I guess so,” he replied, smiling. I sighed and nodded my head.
“You know what the worst thing is?” I asked, and he didn’t answer but kept his eyes on me. “She’s Lycan, who was destined to kill me.” He couldn’t say anything, and I understand that. No one would be comfortable hearing that coming from me or anyone suffering from the same fate as mine. I don’t even know what the moon goddess thought about doing this, and I can’t do anything about it either. After our conversation, I decided to stay in the mansion until the day I needed to see Chastity.
