Alpha Xander: His Contracted Luna

Minnie had been worried about Alexa for days. Her friend had been acting strange ever since their last meeting and Minnie was starting to get concerned. She decided to pay a visit to Alexa’s home to check on her.

When Minnie arrived at Alexa’s home, she quickly realized that Alexa wasn’t there. She searched the house, calling out her name, but Alexa didn’t answer. As Minnie walked around the house, she noticed that something felt off. The air seemed thick with tension, and she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Minnie knew that Alexa’s mother had been sick for some time. She decided to go to Nurse Sandra’s office to see if she had any news on her condition. When she arrived, the nurse looked up and smiled at her.

“Hello, Minnie. What brings you here?”

“I was looking for Alexa, but she’s not at home. I was wondering how her mother is doing.”

Nurse Sandra’s face fell. “I’m afraid she’s not doing well. She’s been getting worse over the last few days. We’ve been giving her a few medications but it doesn’t seem to be helping anymore.” Her eyes flashed worry. “Catherine and Joni need to make it here in time, or else I am afraid we don’t have much time left.”

Minnie felt a pang of worry in her chest. She had hoped that by now Catherine and Joni would have been back with the black powder but it seemed things were taking longer than usual and she hoped both of them were okay for the meantime, Alexa’s mother’s health was deteriorating and they needed to find a substitute drug for her.

“Do you know where she is now?” Minnie asked, her face filled with worry for her friend. it wasn’t easy for her as both her friends were not by her side right now one was out there in danger and one was back here in the pack sad.

“She’s in her room upstairs.” The nurse glinted with remembrance “You mentioned Alexa, didn’t you? She is currently in her mother’s womb and she is exhausted and scared. She could really use some help.”

Minnie nodded. “I’ll go and check on them. Thank you.”

As she climbed the stairs, Minnie tried to prepare herself for what she might find. She had never seen someone who was close to death before, and she wasn’t sure she was ready for it. Things were really going on strangely in the pack, her last conversation with Xander proved that something was actually going on and things were not right in the pack.

As she approached the door to Alexa’s mum’s room she heard voices coming from inside and it sounded more like Alexa sobbing. She was muttering no words that Minnie could barely pick up what was saying. Despite the fact that she wanted to barge in there and comfort her, Minnie Felt that it was necessary to give the daughter and her mother alone time. At least she was sure Alexa would save now.

Aa left the room, and Minnie felt a sense of unease settle over her. She didn’t know why, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. the park has become a shadow of itself the elders of the pack seem to be working and acting like they were being controlled by an external force that couldn’t be seen and to top it all Alexa’s mother’s sickness came out all of a sudden and ever since the verdict that only the black powder could cure her Minnie has always been skeptical and sometimes she felt that someone or something was leading them to a particular thing they needed to know and the thought of that alone scared the s*** out of her.

“Leaving so soon?” Nurse Sandra asked Minnie as soon as she walked out of the room.

“I have to give them some alone time. Alexa is barely coping and I need to find out some things.” She replied.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The nurse dropped her pain on the table and crossed her arms on it, throwing Minnie a questioning stare. “I don’t mean to pry but what things do you want to figure out?”

Minnie let out an exasperated sigh, she swung the little bag she held across her shoulder and sat directly opposite the nurse. “I can’t see you but I think this is getting to my breaking point of understanding, everyone in the park seems to have changed a lot and things are becoming too scary-”

“You can say that again,” Sandra affirmed. The cold wind came in from outside of Sandra’s window blowing a chilly air on their pale skin causing goosebumps. Sandra noticed this and poured both of them two cups of coffee, they sipped in silence, and after a while Sandra broke the silence. “a lot of strange things have been happening basically and I will start from the sudden change in the alpha Mayfair .”

“I know right? leading the pack to destroy another pack because of a personal intention when the pack wasn’t even threatened doesn’t sit well with me.”

“Don’t sugarcoat things, my dear, it is very bad and demeaning of him to do such a thing, he has successfully put the packs in any meeting with neighboring packs. what then will happen if we have a sudden war and need the alliance of our neighboring packs no one will be willing to help and we will be doomed.”

Minnie at the truth in Sandra’s statement, but she didn’t hope for things to turn out that bad despite the constant in our hearts that it was already worse than it seemed. giving Sandra a call to know she stood, strapped her bag on her shoulders, and flashed a sad smile on her face. “I hope things don’t get too bad. Keep me updated on Alexa’s mother’s progress.”

“Sure.” Sandra replied with a smile. “you can count on that and as soon as you get any information on Catherine do let me know.”

Minnie nodded and walked out of the office.

She knew that she needed to find out more. She needed to talk to Alexa and figure out what was going on. But for now, all she could do was sit there and wish that there was something more she could do.

********

Minnie had barely gotten home before she collapsed onto her bed in exhaustion. The past few days had been nothing short of a whirlwind. The hunt, Alexa’s Mother’s illness, and now the unsettling news about Mayfair. news has been going around that Mayfair the alpha was becoming a shadow of himself. He was more ruthless, and gloomy and always tended to show his authority whenever he had the chance. Lots of pack members have been imprisoned and punished these last few days for little offenses and the sickening thought of that bothered Minnie so much.

the pack was facing a serious down time and it felt like they were slowly disbanding she wasn’t sure maybe it was the moon goddess’s punishment for killing an Innocent pack, but Minnie knew that the moon goddess would not be so cruel to also let the innocent suffer from what they were not part of. She was in a serious battle with herself, her mind was collapsing and her eyes hurt like hell and the thought of Catherine and Joni being out there in danger was giving her a profound headache that she could not do anything else than shut her eyes tight and let the memories wash away.

She closed her eyes and tried to steady her breathing. She needed to rest before she could even think about dealing with anything else.

Later that evening, Minnie rose from her bed feeling slightly more refreshed. She did her best to shake off the weariness that had settled in her bones and made her way to Alexa’s house. She was the only one Minnie could talk to at this time, there was no Catherine nor Joni to talk to but a sad and broken Alexa. After the other day, meaning did not go back to see Alexa and she felt a twinge of guilt in her mind she was all Alexa had and it was like she was feeling her because of her insecurities and Darkening thoughts or what was going on in the pack.

The moon was high in the sky, casting shadows across the ground. Minnie couldn’t help but feel uneasy as she walked down the empty streets. She was thankful when she finally reached Alexa’s house.

After the typical greetings, Alexa quickly got down to business.

“How is your mother?” Minnie asked you already knowing the answer but she was expecting there was a positive change in her mother’s health.

Alexa sighed and heaved further into the cushion she sat on. In a weak and tired voice, she said. “Still the same no improvement whatsoever, right now we only depend on Catherine and Joni .” Her voice dropped an octave and her throat choked with tears. “What if they were not able to find the powder? What if they are in danger? What-”

Minnie sighed, she lifted her lean and slender frame from the chair; she searched the room right to where Alexa would be seated. She placed a reassuring hand on her back and slowly whispered reassuring words. “Let’s be positive, thinking of the negative would not allay our fears instead it will increase our dark thoughts.”

After a while Alexa came down a bit. Though Minnie wanted to ask her badly about the drawing of the muscular man in her drawing book, she kept it to herself. Alexa had just calmed down after a mental breakdown. She was not going to be reminded of anything touching again so she decided to change the topic to what was happening in the pack currently.

“Minnie, things aren’t going well in the pack. Mayfair has been acting strange for weeks now, and it’s only getting worse. He’s becoming more ruthless and gloomy by the day.” Alexa blotted out our thoughts, leaving Minnie surprised.

Minnie sat there, listening with rapt attention. She had noticed that Mayfair hadn’t been acting like himself lately, but she hadn’t realized it was this bad. If the alpha was having trouble, then the entire pack was under threat.
