Alpha Xander: His Contracted Luna

The Alpha pack were all out of their rooms and headed downstairs. The rays of the sun the sun burst through the open curtains of the great hall. They met up with Xander at the end of the large room. He was seated on the throne from the coronation.

They assembled and sat on the empty seats all lined out in their stead. The deltas are to the left and the betas are to the right. Faye walked in with Jamal and stood by a corner. They waited till everyone one seated, Jamal proceeded to sit while Faye went outside when her phone rang a buzz.

“You all must be wondering why we are all gathered here,” Xander said rising up from his throne. He walked down the steps and grabbed a scroll from an altar.

“This contains the names of the past generation Alpha pack till date,” he raised the scroll up in his hand. “The rogues were once one wolf in our ranks. Today we change that,” he lowered his hand. “We may have been hurt and attacked in our manor and outside our walls. Today it ends,” he snapped his fingers at Manny who sat in the second row of the beta pack.

Manny rose to his feet fast and rushed to Xander’s side. “This is the precise location,” he said quietly to Xander handing him a tabloid. Xander widened the view of the geo-location.

“We recently got info about the location of some rogues who may have led to the death of Jackson,” he handed the tabloid back to Manny. “There will be two troops disbanded at this location. One at the beginning of the road and the others crossing over at the terminal of the bridge up north.”

“We haven’t reached the bridge in a while Alpha,” Eric stood up to his feet. “The Elders hold at that location. The likelihood of the rogues present there would have spiked a retaliation about now.”

“What are you saying, Eric? That the Alpha pack is incompetent and Jack’s a good source of information?” Xander held a fist behind his back. His face contorted and he leaned forward to hear Eric’s redeemable conclusion.

“I would never-”

The doors of the hall opened. The wooden creak surfaced the entire room. The wolves bowed to the man in a big cornrow that reached the neck of his regalia. Jack came in with his overflowing trench coat from behind him. Xander swatted the scroll on Manny’s chest. He was astonished by the sudden arrival of one of the two respected wolves up north. The men are very well recognized in the supernatural community.

The wolves had dispersed from the great hall. They had all gone to the fields to gather around the first man beta, Eric.

“If you hear your name, you fall under the first squad list,” Eric said arms folded behind him. He stood gallant in front of the Alpha pack. The deltas and betas are together in columns and rows.

“What about the others out on patrol right now,” a delta in a tank top raised his hand.

“Joni and the other deltas will arrive here and tent to the manor,” Eric squinted. “Do not hold my words lightly Ruben. Now Manny, Jamal, and Sandra, you fall under my squad. Wait, where’s Jamal?” Eric looked around.

Sandra was unfazed and stood in line next to Manny.

“He was last seen with Faye,” Ruben said.

“You will take his place,” Eric pointed. “The Luna has him in her care for now.”

The Alpha back murmured when a delta was paired in the beta squad. Only the Alpha could make such decisions.

Eric walked up to Ruben and said to his face, “Did you not hear me?”

Ruben looked at the female Delta next to him and smiled. Eric punched him in the gut and he surrendered to the ground.

“You will answer to me,” Eric pulled him by the hair.

The other Deltas stared with disdain in their eyes. They were never on a jolly path with the betas since Faye became Luna. They were always treated second-handedly since Xander wasn’t around most of the time.

Eric let go of his hair and pushed him back to the other deltas. They held their man from falling.

“Whatever you say,” Ruben smirked. “I will have a good time with the Betas.”

In the middle of the living room, Xander was seated next to Faye. The Seer sat across them while Jack leaned on the wall glaring at Faye. He had no business in the Alpha manor. He was only here to accompany the Seer.

Jamal came in from the back to the door and crept behind a figurine. He wasn’t seen but Faye sensed him close by.

“You have both been summoned by the Moon Goddess,” The Seer took them both by the hand.

“I need to know what this is about Seer,” Xander frowned. “The sooner the better. I don’t have too much time on my hands.”

“An oath ought to have been made since the day of your coronation. The Luna’s declaration to be precise,” he rubbed their palms. “In the joining of your hearts as one, the only way you can become stronger is if none of you has had copulations with anyone else.”

Faye’s eyes turned to Jack and she started to tremble. She tried to control herself and her emotions. It got so overwhelming that her hands began to shake. Xander pulled his hand away from the Seers when he saw this awkwardness.

She fell against a footstool. She twisted and rolled on the ground. Her pupils were dilated and her limbs were wiggling all over the carpet floor. Jamal regressed into a dark corner not to be seen.

The Seer stared into Faye’s green eyes. It was as though she was transforming but she was hyperventilating. The Elder couldn’t help himself but rush to her side. He pretended like he was just being considerate looking back upon Xander and the Seer.

“We need to help her,” he said.

“Werewolves don’t have seizures like this,” Xander said.

“This isn’t a seizure,” the Seer placed his palm on Faye’s fidgeting body. “She broke the oath. This is one of the things she must bear. Let her go Jack, and her sireling will tend to her,” he pointed to the dark corner of the kitchen.

“Oh great Seer,” Jamal came out bowing from the corner.

“I will be right back,” Xander said. “I need to-just give me a minute.”

Xander was surprised to see another was present in the room. There was no room for scolding right now he stepped and excused himself from their midst.

He was out on the porch lighting a cigarette. The Seer came out. Quickly, he waved his arms around to clear the smoke from the seer’s face.

“Young Marion, I know of what you hide,” the Seer dusted off ash dust from the arm of his regalia.

“What do you speak of?” Xander coughed.

“The human girl you fight so hard to protect,” he said.

“I don’t know what you are talking about Seer,” Xander walked away from the doorstep. He tossed the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his boots.

“She is in a condo beyond the lake,” the Seer said assuredly.

Xander looked back at him with shaky breaths and fearful eyes.

“Catherine is in danger,” he thought.

“Do not worry Marion,” the Seer said. “There are things yet to be discovered between you two. She is not an ordinary being. Not as weak and mundane as you think.”

“She is not supernatural,” Xander looked stunned.

The Seer moved aside when Jack came out the door.

“The Luna?” Seer asked Jack holding his arm.

“The young Beta took her to her quarters,” Jack said.

“In due time, it will subside,” the Seer said running his fingers along his cornrows.
