87- Xander’s Support
Third Person
The atmosphere was heavy, with a mix of relief and concern. The aftermath of the recent battle was evident in the air. The scent of blood and the residue of magic lingered, a testament to the struggles that had taken place.
Making their way to the heart of the pack, Xander sensed the echoes of the recent conflict. The pack hospital stood as a beacon of hope and healing, its walls having witnessed the ebb and flow of life. The air was charged with quiet anticipation as Xander approached, his warriors forming a protective perimeter around him.
In the hospital, Chassy stood by a bed where the former gamma, Rick, lay in recovery. The dim light cast a soft glow over the room, highlighting the weariness in Chassy’s eyes as she spoke to the attending doctor. The physician, a figure of reassurance amid uncertainty, relayed the condition of the injured gamma.
“He’s stable, Alpha,” the doctor explained, her voice carrying a mix of professional calm and empathy. “The worst is over, but he’ll need time to recover. The healing process has begun, and with rest and care, he should regain his strength.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Chassy nodded, gratitude and concern etched on her face. “Thank you, Doctor. Your expertise means a lot to us. Please inform me if there are any changes in his condition.”
The doctor offered a reassuring smile before excusing herself, leaving Chassy alone in the quiet hospital room. As Xander entered, his presence brought a sense of comfort, a silent understanding passing between them.
“Xander,” Chassy said, her voice a mixture of exhaustion and relief. “Thank you for coming. I appreciate the support.”
Xander approached his gaze softening as he observed the weariness in Chassy’s features. “I’m here for you, Chas. How is Rick?”
Chassy motioned towards the bed, her eyes never leaving Xander’s. “The doctor said he’s stable. It’s going to be a process, but he’ll pull through.”
Silent understanding passed between them as Xander reached out to gently squeeze Chassy’s hand. At that moment, words were unnecessary; the shared weight of leadership, the trials faced, and the bond they shared spoke volumes.
“I’m sorry you had to go through this,” Xander said, his voice carrying a depth of empathy. “We’ll support you in any way we can.”
Chassy nodded, gratitude and exhaustion evident in her eyes. “Thank you. Your presence alone is a big help. You don’t know how relieved I feel now that you’re here.” She replied. Her worry for her former gamma has now subsided after the doctor assured her of his condition.
“C. Alpha Xander,” Allie greeted him as soon as he arrived.
“Your dad is safe now; he just needs to rest.”
“Thank you, C.”
“No. thanks to his doctor. Now that this has happened, I want to focus on improving our hospital and investing in additional training and seminars for our doctors and nurses. I want to sponsor any pack members who want to study medicine. I want the best doctors for the pack.”
“I’m sure everyone will be very happy about this, C,” her gamma replied happily. Although they have a good doctor in the pack hospital, their numbers are decreasing as well. Just like the doctor that Chassy talked to earlier, he is one of the oldest, and they needed a new generation of doctors that would continue the old ones’ legacy.
“I hope so,” Chassy replied. Now that they had been targets of both the rogues and the vampires, she was sure that Silas and his coven knew about her existence. It was the only reason she could think of why those two species acted like they had planned their attacks.
“Let’s talk about the attacks, Chas.” Xander interrupted them. As much as he wanted to see her look relaxed, he wanted to know more about what had happened.
“Let’s go to my office then.” She replied and led him back to the pack house and her office, a space that bore the marks of both leadership and personal touches. While Rick was in the hospital, Chas was thinking about what had happened. The thought that the vampires and the rogues were in alliance now scares her because of Silas. She knows she will hesitate to take his life when the time comes because of their bond.
The atmosphere within was a mix of tension and weariness, and the aftermath of the recent attack was still palpable. As they settled into the chairs, Xander’s eyes reflected genuine concern for Chassy. “What exactly happened, Chas? Are your pack OK?” Xander asked worriedly. The same thing that Chassy was thinking was on his mind as he traveled to the Silver Moon Pack. He is now more worried than ever. He didn’t want her to be out of his sight from now on and decided to keep her company no matter where she went.
Chassy nodded and answered, “We’ll be fine. It was a vampire attack followed by rogues, and we managed to fend them off. But there’s something more, Xander. I can’t shake off the feeling that the rogues might be working with the vampires.”
Xander’s brows furrowed, his gaze intensifying with a mix of curiosity and concern. “Rogues and vampires working together? That’s unusual. What makes you think there’s a connection?” he asked as he leaned forward.
She sighed before she replied, “It’s just a gut feeling. The rogues were unusually organized, almost as if they had insider information. And the timing, right after the vampire attack-”
“It’s suspicious. We can’t ignore the possibility. But why would rogues collaborate with vampires? They’re usually at odds with each other.”
“That’s what worries me. It’s not the usual behavior. Maybe there’s a new force at play, something that’s uniting them against us.”
Xander’s expression hardened as he contemplated the implications. The alliance between rogues and vampires hinted at a shift in the delicate balance of power among supernatural beings. “We need to investigate this further. If there’s a new threat emerging, we have to be prepared.”
“Exactly. I’ve instructed my pack to remain vigilant. We can’t afford to underestimate this situation.”
“Chas, if you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to ask. We’re in this together.”
Feeling grateful, “Thank you. I appreciate your support. We may come from different packs, but we share a common goal-protecting our kind. I’m sorry if I failed to help you with the Red Moon Pack as well. After this thing is over, I promise to stay where you are.”
Their eyes met an unspoken understanding passing between them. In the face of an unforeseen threat, their unity became more crucial than ever. The alliance forged between the Red Moon Pack and the Silver Moon Pack held the promise of strength and resilience, a force to be reckoned with in the looming darkness that threatened both their territories.
Chassy and Xander stood together in facing the challenges that had befallen the Silver Moon Pack; their unity remained unbroken. In the quiet of the hospital room, amidst the healing energy that surrounded them, they found solace in the strength of their connection, ready to face whatever challenges the night might bring.
