Alpha Xander: His Contracted Luna

“Then you have to think about the repercussions of your actions,” Xander retorted. “We cannot continue to act like we are invincible. We’re just asking for trouble.”

Mayfair glared at him for a long moment, and Xander felt the air between them thick with tension. Finally, Mayfair spoke.

“I know what I’m doing, Xander ,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “And I don’t need you second-guessing me every step of the way. You’re my Beta, not my conscience.”

“And yet someone has to be the voice of reason,” Xander replied. “We cannot simply act recklessly and expect everything to be okay.”

Mayfair stepped closer, invading Xander ‘s space. “You forget who’s in charge here,” he said softly, his eyes locking onto Xander ‘s. “I am the Alpha. What I say goes. And if you can’t handle that, then maybe you’re not cut out to be my Beta.”

Xander straightened his back, refusing to back down. “With all due respect, Alpha, that’s not what this is about. I’m only trying to make sure the pack is safe.”

Mayfair leaned in even closer, his breath hot on Xander ‘s face. “You overstep your bounds, Xander ,” he said, his voice low and threatening. “I won’t tolerate insubordination from anyone, let alone my Beta.”

Xander stood his ground, even as his heart hammered in his chest. The room was silent, apart from Mayfair ‘s heavy breathing and the sound of his own rapid heartbeat. He knew that he had crossed a line, but he refused to back down.

After a few moments of tense silence, Mayfair backed away. “Fine,” he said, his voice cold. “I’ll consider what you’ve said. But don’t forget your place, Xander . You serve me, not the other way around.”

Xander nodded, his face betraying none of the fear he felt inside. “Of course, Alpha. That’s why I’m here, to serve you and the pack.”

Mayfair said nothing more, leaving Xander to make his way out of the room, his mind whirling. He knew that he had risked his position as Beta, but he felt as though he had no choice. The pack was at stake, and he refused to sit idly by and watch it crumble.

Samantha and Joni , both members of Mayfair ‘s pack, had noticed something peculiar about their beta, Xander . He kept questioning Mayfair ‘s orders and going against his authority. This didn’t sit well with them, and they decided to confront Mayfair about it. They just heard that he left the throne room after openly lashing out at Mayfair.

They found Mayfair in his study, poring over several documents. He looked up as they walked in, his piercing gaze settling on them. They both cowered under his intense scrutiny, but Samantha managed to gather her courage and speak up.

“Alpha, we have noticed that Xander has been questioning your authority lately. We were wondering why you let him get away with it.” Samantha’s voice was shaky, but Joni stood by her side, giving her strength. “He didn’t submit to your order when we went to attack Kai’s pack.”

Mayfair ‘s lip curled in distaste at the mention of Xander . “That beta has always been a thorn in my side,” he growled. “He thinks he knows better than me, and he’s not afraid to speak his mind.”

“But why do you let him get away with it, Alpha?” Joni asked, eager for an answer. “It is demeaning, but I wonder why you banished Deyer the second he went against your command but-”

Mayfair ‘s eyes blazed with anger, his angry fists slammed the table almost breaking it into half. “Who are you to question my decisions, Joni ?” he barked. “I am the alpha of this pack, and I will do as I see fit.”

Samantha and Joni exchanged glances, sensing that Mayfair was getting defensive. They knew they had to tread carefully if they were going to get answers.

“We’re not questioning your decisions, Alpha Mayfair ,” Samantha said softly. “We’re just curious as to why you’re letting Xander undermine your authority.”

Mayfair took a deep breath, calming down slightly. “Xander may be a thorn in my side, but he is still an important member of this pack. I need him, despite his insubordination.”

“But won’t other pack members see him questioning your authority and think it’s okay to do the same?” Joni pressed. “What kind of example does that set?”

Mayfair bristled. “I am well aware of what I am doing, Joni ,” he spat. “I am the alpha, and I know how to run my pack.”

Samantha stepped forward, her blue eyes blazing with determination. “We’re not saying you don’t, Alpha,” she said firmly. “But we want to understand your reasoning behind letting Xander get away with it. We want to support you and your decisions.”

Mayfair ‘s expression softened slightly at Samantha’s words. “Very well,” he said gruffly. “I let Xander get away with it because he’s a good beta. He’s loyal to the pack, and he’s always looking out for our best interests.”

Actually, Mayfair let him go because in his quest for power the pack’s safety is put on the line. But having someone like Xander who would stand and protect the pack was rare, and for the fact that he took care of Catherine was also enough to let him go for the meantime.

“But what about your best interests, Alpha?” Joni pointed out. “If Xander is undermining your authority, how can you effectively lead the pack?”

Mayfair growled deep in his throat, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice. “You have a point, Joni ,” he muttered. “I will have to address this issue with Xander . He can’t continue to act like he’s in charge.”

Samantha and Joni nodded in agreement, feeling satisfied that they had at least gotten through to Mayfair a little bit. They knew changing Mayfair ‘s mind would be no easy feat – he was a ruthless alpha who hated being questioned. But they were determined to try.

As they left the study, they couldn’t help feeling a sense of unease. Mayfair was a powerful alpha, but if he couldn’t even control his own beta, what did that say about his leadership?

But they pushed those thoughts aside, knowing that their loyalty to their pack and their alpha would ultimately see them through. They were in this together, and they would do whatever it took to make sure their pack thrived under the Alpha’s command.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I’m not sure I’d sit quiet on this and let him disrespect Mayfair. ” Joni said as soon as they were out of ear-shots.

“I won’t either. And if Dryer can be banished, then Mayfair is keeping him by his side-” she paused. “Does he hold more importance than us?”

“That’s the point I was trying to let him see in there. We are the ones by his side, feeling and aiding his actions, we should get some credits not letting t some of a bitch act like he has the pack.”
