The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 190

Her soft voice melts into nothingness at the end. Everyone was stunned. No one really knowing what to say about what Ivory revealed. It seemed too much to be real, yet I can’t feel a single ounce of doubt or falsity in her words.

Raizel and I were always meant to be?

He’s my true mate?

“Wait… if they were always supposed to be together why the fu ck did Selene get a shi tty a ss mate like Landon Walking?”

We all turn to Weston who now tilts his head to the side in complete and utter confusion.

Ivory let’s out a small laugh when Weston’s face flushed red- realizing he had just said that out loud. and had two toddlers staring up at him in disappointment.

“Landon Walker is her mate.”

Raizel growls, pulling me closer into his side.

“-but only if she chooses him to be.”

“Is she speaking English? Cause that made absolutely no sense.”

Emerson smacked Weston by the back of his head that made the Beta hiss and glare at the former. Ivory didn’t take offense to Weston’s words, choosing to continue rather than comment.

“For the first time in werewolf kind, you have a choice in mateship.”

She trains her eyes on me.

“The Young Alpha was always yours. He was yours since the very beginning, but because your ancestor has mated with another, it led to complications and you were stuck in a crossfire between. who’s mate you get to be. This was the final step. If you had chosen Walker, the Locksworth Bloodline would end with the Young Alpha. This was the end. Walker’s rejection of you was not part of the plans. Since Luna didn’t get a choice in mateship, you do.”

I part my lips, trying desperately to grasp the words I wanted to say but nothing came to mind. Raizel was mine? Truly, soulfully, entirely mine? Mine in every sense of the word? Mine in the realm of fate and soulmates? Truly?

“It’s why you were instantly attracted to one another. Your wolf knew his wolf before you even knew him. They’ve had a connection. It’s why handling the rejection was easier for you than others. Your wolf had already chosen who she wanted to be, all she had to do was defy the slight pull to Walker.”

“If he’s mine-truly mine.”

I look at Raizel, his dark eyes searching my face for a moment.

“Then how come when we went to the Sacred Pool, we were deemed not mates?”

“Your wolf had accepted him, you didn’t. Your bond with Walker was established first because you met him first. It automatically connected. You didn’t know the Young Alpha then. This was the choice you had. Yes, you felt attracted to him, but you weren’t obligated to fall for him. You had the choice. whether or not you wanted to pursue him. Had you stayed with Walker, and he marked you, your bond with the Young Alpha would disappear. That goes for him too.”

She nods at Raizel,

“You ultimately have fate in your hands, Selene. The weak bond you have with Walker is withering away. Your bond with the Young Alpha authenticated when you uhm…”

She blushed, clearing her throat.

“Consummated your love.Now that you accepted the Young Alpha, he is your mate. Your true mate.Has been for a while now. If you go to the Pool, I can guarantee you that it will be blue.”

I swallow, tightening my hold around Raizel’s hand when he says the one thing I was thinking of,

“Let’s go then. To the Pool. Let’s test that theory.”

And we did.

“This brings back memories.”

He mumbles by my ear. I look up to him as he scans over the pool, his hand in mine as we walked toward the edge of it.

“When we first stood here, I was so convinced I had finally met my mate. I had no doubt in my mind. it was you for me. I felt it in my bones- the electricity, the spark, lust, the overwhelming love. I felt it the moment I saw you and when your skin touched mine…”

he laughs to himself,

“I was a goner.”

“I’m glad the feeling is mutual.”

I sigh, leaning my head against his shoulder.

“Do you really believe it?”

I ask, watching as Ivory moved out of the way. Raizel nods to himself, staring out over the Pool. There’s something about the way he’s intently looking over it that makes me remember the first time we met. The cold, distant Alpha everyone knew him to be made an exception for me since the first day we met. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Since day one.

I smile fondly, recalling how flustered I’d been when he asked to take the test with me. I had thought he was insa ne, feeling a bit intimidated with Landon standing right there. Actually no, that was the wrong word. It wasn’t intimidation I felt. It was sha me. Having him stand there as a physical reminder than I had no one but him as a mate while a man so worthy of affection and so easily grasped my attention stood there practically telling me he wanted me as a mate.

Little did I know that it didn’t matter whether Landon was there or not
