8- Adopted
Chassy
“Chas, you have to listen and pay attention.” Daddy Jay said he legally adopted me, and he is now my father. Can you believe that? I already have a father, and he loves me. Like his own. I never felt so happy in my life until the day that they found me. I remember it clearly.
We arrived at the Silver Moon Pack, and I could see that everyone was looking at us, and they all greeted their leaders with curious eyes on me. “Don’t worry, I am going to introduce her to you later. And no, it’s not who you think she is. She’s not my mate.” Daddy Jay said, and my eyes widened. He looked at me and smiled. “Don’t think about them too much. They just wanted me to find my second chance mate,” he told me, and I nodded my head and realized that he had already lost his mate.
We entered the pack house, and I was amazed at the beauty before me. It was so modern, from the chandeliers, portraits hanging on the walls, and furniture. It screams wealth. He sent me to my room and reminded me to clean up. An omega went to see me and handed me clothes that were all new. I chuckled at the thought that my pack had never once given me anything to wear, but this new pack that I am in right now gave me a new one. I am not even a pack member.
“Chastity!” Daddy Jay shouted, which made me startled. “You’re zoning out again. Do you want to learn or what?” he asked. He is pissed, and I like it because I feel that he cares for me. His anger was different from my mother’s. Though he shouted at me, I could still feel the love of a father. Unlike my mother, who gave me the feeling of being unwanted, I don’t know why it was different, though, when in fact they both shouted at me.
“I’m so sorry, Dad. I just remember the first time I came here..” I told him,
“It’s been six months; why are you still thinking about that?” he asked,
“I just couldn’t believe that, because of your dream, you went to the stream,” I replied. He told me when I woke up that day that it was because he dreamed of the moon goddess, and I told him to go to that particular stream.
“Sometimes the moon goddess tells us what she wants to say through our dreams. Of course, she can’t be seen or talk to us in our world, so it must be through our dreams that she finds a way to communicate with us,” he said.
“Then, did she tell you to take me with you?” I asked, and he chuckled.
“You’re like a child. How many times do I need to tell you that she didn’t? I just thought that she made me go there to save you.” he answered. And yes, he had been telling me about that many times over because I kept on asking.
“Are you starting to get tired of answering my questions?”
“I will never get tired of you, my dear.” He replied, and I smiled.
“Then let’s continue. I am motivated to learn now.” I replied happily, and then he sighed. Who wouldn’t, when we have been like this ever since I arrived in his pack?
I went back to school and took an exam for an advanced learning program since I stopped attending school when I was in the Red Moon Pack. It was a good thing that I was smart and studious, so I passed the test, and now I am attending the same class as my age. I’m into woodwork and carpentry, as well as being an auto mechanic. So, if there’s something that needs to be fixed in the pack house or anywhere in the pack, they are free to call me, and I am going to fix it.
Daddy Jay is now teaching me how to become a Luna because he wanted to appoint me. I didn’t want to at first because I knew that other pack members were worth becoming one. But Beta Simon and Gamma Rick agreed, so I accepted it. But I never thought that there would be a lot of things that I needed to learn, so I am stuck with the lesson.
After 3 months, they decided to hold a Luna ceremony for me. If they asked me, I was not going to hold it. It’s fine if I just become their Luna. But it was already a tradition and culture in every pack, and Daddy Jay never agreed with what I wanted.
“I sent an invitation to the Red Moon Pack, and I was waiting for their reply,” Beta Simon said. We were in Alpha’s office and were having a meeting about the ceremony.
“You know the alpha of the Red Moon Pack?” I asked curiously.
“Alpha Xander and his beta and gamma were here when we were attacked and lost our Luna. They were still very young at that time, but they helped us and fought the rogues. Many could have died that night if it wasn’t for their help.” Beta Simon answered, and everyone became gloomy because they remembered their very loving and caring Luna. It’s one of the reasons why I didn’t really want to become their Luna. It was hard for me to even get near her character.
And I don’t think I still have the time to think about the gap between me and the previous Luna. What if Xander attended the ceremony and found out that it was me? What is he going to do? No, what am I going to do?
“Dear, are you alright?” Daddy Jay asked, which made the other two father figures look at me as well.
“Nothing, Dad; I was just thinking that the Red Moon Pack must be busy since they were the strongest in the region.”
“Don’t worry too much. You are perfect for the title. All the pack members agreed to this.” He replied, and I nodded. It is going to be my 19th birthday next month, and I don’t know what will happen.
After I rejected Xander, I didn’t feel anything after that chest pain, so I think he had not accepted my rejection yet. I had been thinking about it because I had been reading about rejection as well, and everything that was written in our books about when he accepted it didn’t happen to me.
“Now that everything is clear about the ceremony, I want you to go to town with Sims and get your gown. The designer had been calling us to get it, but, until now, you still didn’t.” Daddy Jay said
“I already told my son about it, and he is ready to accompany our little Luna here.” Beta Simon said,C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“I’m sure that Allie will come to them as well.” Gamma Rick added.
I got up and was ready to leave the office when the phone rang. Gamma Rick got it and answered.
“Good afternoon, Alpha Xander.” He said that which scared me. Is he going to attend the ceremony? No, this is not happening.
