My Silver Alpha -
Chapter 5
I take it. I try to remember if she had one on her but the truth is that she didn’t notice that. So I rummage inside the bandit, taking out the woman’s wallet.
—Valentina Hokins. He whispered, reading her documents. “So, that’s your name.” He smiles looking at her while her heart thundered like crazy. —You finally come to me, after so many years.
Eren touched her forehead, feeling it very hot, it seemed like she had a high fever. The girl was sweating buckets. She left a wet handkerchief on her forehead and left the bedroom. Lili would take care of her in a while.
[…]The alpha directed his steps to where they used to hold town meetings. Everyone was present murmuring to one another. To Eren’s ears, most of the comments were not good, they were concerned for his well-being. The alpha’s grandeur was present, Eren’s aroma became noticeable to the crowd who, as soon as they smelled him, turned around to see him approaching them.
They stepped aside allowing him passage until they were in the center next to Deon who was trying to calm them down.
—I need you to be silent. Eren proclaims in a serious voice.
—Alpha, alpha… Who is that woman he brought? A wolf asked from behind, which disturbed those in front.
—That woman is my moon. He proclaims earning everyone’s silence.
-How is that possible? She is a human, how can the alpha have a human woman as a wife?
—I don’t know, but that’s how it is. And I ask you to please calm down.
—But alpha, how can we be calm if the hunters have returned with very little food. It won’t be enough to feed everyone.
Eren looks askance at Deon who nods confirming the words of the wolf who spoke. Yes indeed, it was a very big problem they had on their hands. The appearance of his moon no longer seemed as problematic as the one at hand. The lack of supply was a drawback, he couldn’t allow his people to starve.
—Don’t worry, I’ll solve that problem.
—Alpha should allow each head of the family to go out hunting, that way we would cover more ground and everyone would bring food home.
Of course he had thought about that, but the truth is that he was very risky with so many hunters out there. If he sent not so powerful wolves, they could perish just because they wanted to feed. He understood their needs but it was a risk he didn’t want to take.
—I can’t allow it, they would be in many dangers in the open field. They know the number of hunters out there is increasing.
—Alpha… many object in unison.
—It’s my definitive answer. No one will risk going beyond our domains. And as for the human that I have brought, I will make sure that it does not cause us problems. He speaks with a thick and stern voice.
—Will she stay in the pack? They asked from afar.
—I can’t be sure of this, but please I need you to calm down.
The babbling stopped a little, the wolves seemed to be calmer understanding their alpha’s words. Since there was no more objection from his people, Eren decided to leave to talk to the hunters… the boys were in an area of the town that was used to carry what they hunted, in this way they kept the bears away.
As soon as the wolves sensed the arrival of their alpha they turned around to see him arrive, some were still finishing dressing, others busy preparing the meat that was hunted.
-Alpha! The one who had been in charge greets.
-Something new?
—We have seen many human hunters roaming around.
They were more than I thought sir. More and more are coming. Why do you think this is happening?
—I suspect they are trying to replace out our position. We must remain alert, and as soon as they are closer, move them away as much as possible. I want you to double your guard from now on. Order Deon.
-Understood.
—And the hunting?
—We barely managed to get animals. Alpha, there is almost no food in these domains anymore.
Eren knew it, it was no secret to him that if he didn’t replace a solution they would soon die of hunger. It was a great responsibility that he carried on his shoulders. When he arrived there, becoming the alpha of a few wolves that remained loose in the forest like savages, the mountain provided them with a lot of food. But as it grew, things became scarce. He did not understand what was happening, as far as he knew the rest of the herds were very far away and quite supplied with animals to hunt.
—I’ll study the maps to look for new areas to hunt, don’t worry about that. He confirms calmly, influencing confidence in the boys who seemed to calm down.
[…]After studying maps of roads and lush forests all afternoon and part of the night, Eren and Deon realized that there was no more land to explore. The only thing they had left was forbidden land, belonging to a pack that disintegrated many years ago. The alpha had no idea where the leader of that pack was, some of those wolves came to their own pack claiming that their alpha and son had mysteriously disappeared overnight. They were also told that their domains were rich in food.
—The only lands we have left to check are the desolate territories of Gino. What do you want to do Eren?
—We cannot invade his domain without his authorization.
—He and his son disappeared, who the hell are we going to ask permission from?
—You know that hunting on other people’s lands is prohibited, Deon. Eren picks the bridge of his nose wondering what to do. “I just can’t send them in there exposing them.”
—But Eren, if we don’t do something soon we won’t get food.
The alpha sits on the couch in the meeting room, leaning his head back. He felt tired, every day there was always a new problem. He had too many on him to take on more. And if that weren’t enough, his moon was seriously injured in his house. When did things start to get worse?
– I’ll think about it! He answers looking at his beta. —But I doubt he will accept, after all it is very risky for the wolves. He stands up. —It’s too late, I’ll return home so Lili and Sofía can go home.
—Okay, I’ll go later. I have guard for a few hours.
-All right, take care.
Eren leaves, leaving the Silver Moon problem behind to focus on one thing, Valentina. She was worried about the girl’s health; she was too hurt to get out of that bed. And the whole time he was away from home he was thinking one thing about her, it could be her moon but the best thing for her, for the town even for himself was to let her return to her world. She didn’t fit into his and never would, no matter how much it bothered him and he regretted that having to be without her was the only option he had left.
Before she ended up rejecting him, but behind all that was also hidden a tremendous fear, he didn’t want the same thing to happen to him that happened to her father. As soon as Valentina recovered he would send her back into her life, she would never hear from them again.
