The Darling Of The Alpha
Chapter 23

Camila Albora

“Because I can last five to seven years on this journey,” Xander tells me and those words alone were enough to make my heart shrink.

I have no words to describe how I feel right now, the man I love is leaving, he will leave me for seven years. I hug Xander and place my face in his neck as he lets out my tears, sobbing in pain.

»Little one, don’t cry, please… —he asks, caressing my back, but this doesn’t comfort me at all.

“I don’t want you to leave,” I whisper as best I can, breathing in his manly aroma that I like so much. “Don’t leave me…” I whisper and feel how his body tenses, I know that these words take him to the past when he has to travel and get away. of me for the first time.

“Not my moon… I would never abandon you,” he says and makes me take my face out of his neck to take it in his hand. “Listen to me… I will always be in contact with you, we will talk on camera, I will even send you a letter if I can’t get a signal on my phone wherever I am,” she adds, touching my hair and cheek. I think about the probability that there is a chance that she will leave me for another girl and there is none, I am her mate, her moon and she even has my mark. “Now let’s go to sleep because I want to make the most of this week with you,” she whispers and I nod to get off her lap. I wait for him to lie down so I can place my head on his neck and wrap my leg with his.

“I love you Xander,” I whisper after seeing myself settled as he already mentioned, his chest inflates and his hand clings to my h**s.

“I love you my little moon,” he murmurs and I feel happy.

Xander almost doesn’t say I love you to me but I love you, I sigh and let myself be enveloped by his aroma and his warmth.

(…)

I wake up and I’m alone in bed, my senses sharpen and I hear the shower water running, I sigh, I take Xander’s pillow to hug it and smell the smell of it, wood, honey and forest.

When I was little I could only smell the smell of honey and I always told him that he smelled sweet and that I liked him, Xander is my everything and always will be, not because in this time together we have created a bond, but because of the affection he showed me. It shows, by his love, his smiles dedicated only to me and by everything he has done for me.

He hasn’t officially made his moon to me in front of everyone yet, but everyone already knows and some packs are already aware that Xander has his mate.

“Good morning princess,” I hear his hoarse voice say and then like a door is closed, I love this man and I adore that he calls me princess. I get out of bed and go into the bathroom to relieve myself and brush my teeth. When I come out,

-Oh really? —I question and he nods—. I thought that today we would stay in bed watching the new season of our favorite series… you know it’s been out for a long time and I haven’t seen the episodes waiting for you,” I say, pouting and making puppy eyes.

“None of that face, miss… today I will see you train and you will also train with me to see if you can defeat me,” he says arrogantly and I can’t help but roll my eyes because of that alpha ego he always carries.

“I’ll kick your flea mutt’s a*s for doing this to me,” I reproach and leave his room to go to mine but not before hearing the growl he lets out for calling him that way.

(…)

I go down to the kitchen where Xander is already having breakfast, with all my calm I approach and take the bacon from him, he glares at me and I finish chewing to swallow and give him a smile.

“Very good,” I murmur and leave my sports bag on the floor, I sit next to him in the dining room. “Where are my beautiful in-laws?” I ask Xander, seeing how he smiles.

Since I turned ten, Xander’s parents have told me to call them in-laws, which at first took Xander out of his box, but it was only with a pout that I managed to tame the beast.

“They left early for the eastern herd and will arrive days before to say goodbye to me,” he answers and then takes a drink of his orange juice.

I nod and remain silent when a service girl enters to leave my breakfast.

“Good morning, alpha, moon,” he greets, bowing and leaving my breakfast, if I remember correctly, her name is Chantal.

“Thank you,” she murmured and she left, bowing. Before she can touch my breakfast an invading fork grabs one of my bacon.

I glare at Xander and he just shrugs to eat my bacon.

“Pulgoso,” I whisper, but this one with his super hearing of a poorly educated mutt listens to me.

“Camila,” he growls and shows me his golden eyes.

“Bruno,” I blurted out and continued my breakfast.

“You know I don’t like it when you call me a flea or an ill-mannered mutt,” the silly alpha scolds me.

“And you know that I don’t like you reading my thoughts, it’s unfair that I can’t read yours,” I say to pout at him, which makes him calm down a little.

“My moon is so beautiful,” he murmurs in a sigh, Bruno is the complete opposite of Xander. When Bruno takes control he always tells me those types of phrases while the man is more reserved in that sense. “Soon you will be able to hear our thoughts and also feel our emotions,” he adds, looking at me with those golden eyes.

“Yes I know, but stop getting into my head, little wolf,” I ask, pointing at him with the fork.

“I don’t promise anything,” is the last thing he says to let Xander take control of his body.

“And then they go around complaining that I call them an ill-mannered mutt,” he commented and continued with my breakfast.

(…)

Holding hands we arrive at the training place where all the young people from twelve to seventeen years old in the pack are, with my eyes I look for Valeria until I find her and guess who is next to her?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, idiot Tomy, I let go of Xander’s hand and stand on the other side of my friend, feeling the gaze of some members of the pack.

—Well, girls and boys, today we will fight hand to hand, since a werewolf must know how to defend himself in both his human and wolf form because they will reach places where they will not be able to transform but they will have to fight in any way possible to safeguard their lives. —Xander announces in his authoritative voice. “Today we will do it in the following way, a boy will fight with a girl,” he adds and the protests of the female s*x are heard, since this is almost never done. “Silence,” Xander orders and everyone falls silent, “Robet and Tereza come forward,” he asks and they go to the center.

Robert is a short and slightly burly boy while Tereza is a dark, tall and well-exercised girl.

»Attack position… now, —they start fighting.

I watch as Parker stands next to Xander, who greets me with a hand and a smile and I respond in the same way. The boys fight for about twenty-five minutes until they are tired and the alpha stops the battle. He continues calling for more partners, Valeria passes by a boy named Alex who is several meters taller than her. I trust my friend, she is good at fighting both in wolf and human form. His fight lasted thirty minutes because Valeria managed to give him a kick that left him out of the battle.

“Camila and Tomy,” it seems that Xander read my mind, he smiled.

«Thank you Moon Goddess» I think and step forward with a huge smile which makes Xander look at me confused, I ignore him and stand in front of the idiot.

“The princess… I’ll be careful so she doesn’t break a nail,” he says, causing the others to laugh.

—I just hope you have good insurance because this time around the dentist will have a lot of visits from you, —I announce and everyone makes the typical “Uuuuuuuuu” that makes me roll my eyes.

When he is about to open his mouth to speak Xander interrupts him.

—Silence… position… Now.
