Chapter 5Xavier's Pov:
Lsabella sat on a soft stool, her satin red hair cascading out, and I picked up a comb and carefully brushed it out of her face.
"I found my mate, and he's Jasper."
All of my attention was stunned by the shocking news that Lsabella actually had a MATE, and this person was Jasper.
Shock quickly turned to anger, negative emotions burned to crackle in my heart.
"Are you going to give up your pack?" I couldn't control my emotions, and I realized my tone was terrible after the words came out.
Lsabella turned from the soft bench, she took my hand and looked up into my eyes: "I've only been away from my pack for two months, I'm not going to give up my pack. Besides, we need the moonstone, which is not something we can get by our own power.
This is the best way, for now, our pack is really too weak, and the wolves around us are thinking about how to annex us. I'm not afraid of fighting and dying, but my people can't suffer anymore. Xavier, don't forget our mission."
I did not forget my mission, but my heart was dripping with blood.
I made no reply, and I stubbornly pulled my hand out of Lsabella's.
Lsabella froze for a moment, and she accommodated my caprice: "I'm going to entrust Blood Moon Pack to you and Kyra, and I'll be back in two months. We'll stay in touch during that time, and you'll keep me informed of the pack's status."
"Okay."
I agreed, but there was no way the other emotions in my heart could be suppressed so simply, and I could feel my jealousy growing wildly in my heart.
From the moment Lsabella saved me ten years ago, I gave her my whole heart and my whole life. I worked a hundred times harder to become stronger so that I could stay by Lsabella's side forever.
But what happened? I was still too weak, I couldn't keep Lsabella.
I look like I'm just a little bit depressed, but only I know I'm going crazy, Jasper actually threatened Lsabella with mate relationship and community!
I was so careful to protect Lsabella, and she was being trampled elsewhere!
My eyes shone with an eerie blue light, and killing intent spread through my heart. I will not let Jasper go, I will kill him!
Lsabella's white hand gently fell on the back of my hand: "Xavier?"
Seemingly sensing my abnormality, she blinked her pretty eyes and hesitated how to speak.
I shouldn't have worried Lsabella, I turned my hand to hold her hand: "I'm sorry..."
Lsabella hesitantly spoke: "Jasper is my mate...it's the blessing of the moon goddess, so I have a soft spot for him too. For the future of our pack, I actually don't mind returning to Blue Moon Pack with him."
I slowly let go of Lsabella's hand and dropped it, and the fire that was crackling in my heart was gradually dying out.
I felt reluctant, but at the same time, I could only accept all this hopelessly.
Under the pull of the two emotions, I suffered even more.
I would rather be stabbed by someone or suffer some other physical injury because these injuries will definitely heal as long as they are not fatal. But now I have felt deep despair, I turned out to have no chance to compete at all, here in Lsabella, I have lost completely.
I never thought that I could become Lsabella's mate, my wish was small, I just needed to stay by Lsabella's side forever.
When Lsabella appointed me as her Beta, I solemnly got down on one knee and declared to her that I would always be loyal to her and give my life for her.
At that time, I naively thought I had the world at my fingertips, but my happiness was so fragile that an Alpha meeting gave birth to a change of heart, and he happened to be Jasper...
The hand I hid at my side clenched hard because of the pain and repression, nails embedded in the flesh, but I no longer care about the pain.
Half a dozen times, I let go of my hand. A sense of sadness welled up in me, yes, the moon goddess never favored me, even Lsabella, who chose me ten years ago, is about to leave me.
I braced myself to show a smile: "Congratulations on finding your partner, you rest early, you have a meeting tomorrow."
Lsabella looked at me for a while but finally did not say what was in her heart.
"Good, you get an early rest too."
After Lsabella left, I was left alone in the big room, and the loneliness that had disappeared for a long time came back to haunt me.
Impossible!
With all the indignation and reluctance, I slammed my fist on the floor, and a pit appeared on the marble floor, and cracks started to spread from the pit, almost covering the whole room.
I was not willing! I can't accept the favoritism of the moon goddess! She had already given up on me once, so why couldn't she choose me this time!
I loved Lsabella that much, I loved her for ten years...
Why? Why?
I'm not willing to do it!
Lsabella's pov.
I came to the meeting early.
The events of last night kept bothering me and the night dreams about them kept me from getting a good night's sleep.
I felt Xavier's mood swings, and I actually sensed Xavier's overprotectiveness of me from a long time ago.
"So you sensed that? He had a very strong killing intent at that point."
It was Nut that reminded me of this last night, too, and it caught it sharply. But I couldn't accept what it said about Xavier.
"He's my Beta and it's only natural that he would want to protect my mind.
I need to leave my pack this time and take it with me to Blue Moon Pack for two months, what's the difference between that and a hostage? Xavier will surely feel that there is his fault in this matter.
I was afraid that he would go to Jasper to fight, he can't win Jasper now, what if he gets hurt and his life is in danger? Otherwise, I wouldn't say I like Jasper. I hate arrogant and rude people."
"Do you think Xavier will give up after you say that?"
I didn't quite understand Nut's point.
"Or what? If it was for me, he would have complied."
Nut shook his head in my head.
Now I was even more perplexed: "Because of what exactly..."
But Nut and I were forcibly interrupted as Jasper announced that the meeting would now begin. I noticed his line of sight as he stared at me, his icy stare hinting at our agreement.
I gathered my composure and began to prepare for the upcoming challenge.
"As per the rules of the Alpha meeting, Lsabella can also make a presentation on the retention of the Blood Moon Pack and we will all vote based on our judgment."
With Jasper's promise, I believed there was still a chance for us Blood Moon Pack to escape this.
I stood up: "Although we Blood Moon Pack is not big, we have experienced accidents and declined from a big pack, what kind of accidents will not be repeated here.
In short, the Alpha Conference has never had a fixed standard for the annexation of weak packs, if the standard is to choose the weakest one, today is the dissolution of our pack, what about after the dissolution of our pack? And which is the weakest group's turn? If this criterion is not set, how can we ensure the fairness of the disbanded group?
The original purpose of the Alpha Council was to unite the wolf packs on the East Continent and jointly resist the invasion of witches and rogues.
Alpha was able to enter the council because it was sheltered by the wolf pack alliance. A pack can become stronger, but there is also a time when it becomes weaker. If we set a precedent in Blood Moon Pack today, I think the packs behind us will also have a hard time.
So I ask you all to allow Blood Moon Pack to remain so that we can find Mr. Liam's killer as soon as possible."
A low discussion sounded in the room, and I think my speech was still useful, none of the wolves present dared to guarantee that they could be strong forever, and if the treaty between the alliance still had no meaningful existence as it did ten years ago, just one rogue mass attack would be enough to destroy a wolf pack.
Jasper interrupted the sound of the crowd's discussion, "So let the voting begin now, those Alpha's who agree with the dissolution of Blood Moon Pack, please raise your hands."
I took a deep breath and prepared for the fate of our pack.
Jasper didn't vote, so it seemed he was going to keep his end of the bargain, but the thought that I would need to spend two more months with him made me feel bad.
I briefly scanned the votes, though, and there weren't more than half of them. Great, we Blood Moon Pack are safe for now.
"Well, the number of votes is not more than half, so I declare that Blood Moon Pack does not need to be disbanded."
Thanks to the Moon Goddess, this is the first big thing I've done for my pack alone, and I'm proud of myself.
