The well-defined delocalization modes of JAF and 2JAF, where JAF is the antiferromagnetic exchange integral in a spin pair, are obtained in the S = 1/2 alternating chains for (α/JAF)2≪1 at T =  in terms of the continued fraction formalism with the recurrence relations method. These modes correspond to the single and the double singlet-to-triplet local excitations, respectively. Dynamically these very short-ranged and very weak correlations survive at T = . We raise the possibility of observing these modes in neutron and Raman scattering at high temperatures, kBTJAF.
