The Lunar Alpha

Chapter 8

Derek's POV

"Why am I so anxious?" I asked myself while looking in the mirror.

I am now in a white shirt and black pants. I decided to keep it simple. I don't need suits to show that I'm the heir of Alpha King. But yet, today I am anxious about my appearance even though I kept it simple.

I blew out some air and held my head high. Today is the day I can actually show my dad that I have his blood in every part of my cells. The Alpha Blood. And I will never let him down.

And with that I left my room and walked downstairs. Everyone is already gone. Parties usually happen in our backyard but since all Alphas are gathering at a time , the party is happening at the Pack's clearing.

No pack member is allowed there for tonight. Just the Alphas with their heirs and betas. Around 500 people.

Just Chill Derek!! It's gonna be fine!

I walked to the clearing with my head full of thoughts. Something in me just tells me that the night isn't gonna end well. But I don't want to quit yet. I am the King Alpha Jaxon Malloy's son and I bloody intend to face whatever is on the way. There is just no turning back!

The wind is getting chilly. The walk to the clearing seemed long because of my thoughts.

Once I was near the clearing, the party was kind of visible. There were fairy lights and tables. The clearing looks a little crowded considering 500 people at one place.

The more I walked towards it, the more anxious I became. Once I reached the clearing Uncle Tyler spotted me and smiled. He waved, gesturing me to come over and I went to him.

"Here! Put these on" he said, handing me a pair of goggles.

I took them and looked at him confused.

"For safety. Your dad asked you to" he smiled but didn't meet my eye.

Something definitely isn't right. But I still nodded and did as I was told.

"Go and sit at the main table if you want to." Uncle Tyler said.

"I would love to. But dad asked me to mingle with everyone and get familiar with a few" I said with a smile.

He nodded and left to greet someone.

I released a long sigh and held my head high. Time to go and let dad know that his son will make him proud.

I looked around. There were tables scattered and few people were sitting while few were walking, talking and just having fun. There was a huge feast right in the middle and champagne for the Alphas and the betas while soft drinks and smoothies for heirs.

The first person I spotted was a boy of almost my age. So I walked to him and smiled. He smiled back.

"Derek Malloy." I said stretching my hand for a hand shake.

He spat the coke he was drinking and looked at me wide eyed.

"A-Alpha King's s-son?" He asked, still staring at me with eyes as wide as saucers.

"Uhhh...yeah" I nodded with a smile.

Dad never really took me to any pack or any Alpha meetings. That is another reason why I am now nervous. This is the first time ever I am meeting Alphas and their heirs.

"Oh My My! I have always wanted to meet you. I am Juan. Heir of Silverstone pack in Mexico" he said while shaking my hand.

But suddenly his smile died down and he looked at me with a serious expression.

"Alpha King doesn't have a son. Now who are you? The prankster Alpha Jose's heir?" He asked me.

Ok! Dad didn't reveal anything about me yet. Fine...I'll just play along.

"Uhh... Yeah! You got a good memory there" I awkwardly laughed, punching his shoulder.

"My dad is talking to a neighbor pack Alpha now. Over there, he is my dad" he paused pointing at a man in Black suit, "Alpha Luis"

I nodded with a smile.

"What do you do?" I asked him.

"Training at werewolf school. Just 2 more years till I become an Alpha." His chest huffed with pride.

"That's awesome.! You'll definitely become a good Alpha" I exclaimed.

And I meant it. The fact that he is training in werewolf school and is excited for his title day shows it. He wants to be a perfect Alpha.

"Now, if you excuse me I'll talk to other Alphas" I said with an appreciative smile.

"We should definitely hang out again. Umm...by the way... Goggles at this time?" He looked confused.

I awkwardly smiled and walked forward. There were just too many people and they seemed like they knew each other. I didn't know how to mingle with them.

But I am glad I at least made a friend!

I was about to talk to another boy but stopped on my tracks when I heard Uncle Tyler talking on the stage.

"Good evening Gentlemen! The Alpha King, I and the Bloodmoon Pack appreciate your presence today evening. Hope you are having a nice time" he paused while the crowd nodded.

"So the reason for this Alpha Party is still under dark to you people. So to clear what is happening, the King himself is going to come on the stage now" he said while dad walked on to the stage.

Everyone was eating and drinking till then but just stood and bowed when dad stood on the stage. I would get such respect too but only when I get the title from dad. Till then, I am Alpha's son and for some reason... I am comfortable with it.

Dad raised his hand and everyone sat down at their respective tables. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there trying to figure out what's happening.

"Good evening Gentlemen. Thank you so much for coming even though I didn't mention the cause of the gathering" Dad paused.

I heard a series of 'Pleasure is ours king' from almost everyone present here.

"So... The main reason for this gathering is " he paused again and looked at me.

He nodded, gesturing me to come over and I did, in an instant. I quickly walked towards the stage and stood beside dad. He laid his right hand on my shoulders and side hugged me.

"This .... is my son. My pride. My heir and the future King" Dad said with his chest huffing with pride.

I couldn't be more emotional than I already was. Talking to Mom about me was totally different from how dad introduced me to the werewolf world.

But when I came to reality all I heard were gasps.

"I know I kept my son under RADAR till now. And none of you know that I have a son. So this gathering is to tell you all why" he said and looked at me.

"This is a life changing event Derek!" He warned me.

"But remember that we are always with you. Your dad has your back. Don't forget it" he said.

My hands were sweating at that point. I seriously don't know what is happening but one thing I know is that it's huge. Something that has to do with me but even I have no idea about what that is.

Regardless, I nodded my head with confidence.

"Take them off" he said, gesturing to the goggles and I did.

"Your future King! Derek Julian Malloy!!" Dad said with pride and I looked at him with admiration.

My Dad is my hero and I will make him proud being the best Alpha King ever in this Werewolf world.!

After a few moments I heard roars and claps that brought me back to reality. I am now in the Alpha Party and now, it's time to let them know I am Alpha King's son!

I turned towards the crowd and the claps and roars instantly died down.

They saw my face in horror.

They froze.

They smiled.

They bowed down.

And this..... Is something I wasn't expecting.

500 people were bowing before me including Alphas. And an Alpha never bows to an Alpha Son!

Who am I?
