The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 37

Chapter 37 He continued, looking at the other Alpha’s with a smile never meaning to fade. His brown eyes fell to me and lingered before turning back to Alpha Crestfield. “Isn’t that right, Selene?” *** Selene (when she was heading to the conference) The sound of my heels clicking against the marble floor echoed as we walked down the hallway. Each step I took held the aggravation I was feeling. Noah fo ved behind me, matching my emotions as he, himself felt rather annoyed we were running late. Annoyingly enough, just as I was about to head out for the conference, one rogue was caught trying to survey around my territory. Of course, I made sure to oversee the capture myself. I wouldn’t let any of my pack members deal with a rogue unsupervised. Rogues were vicious, untamed, and they surely would have no problem doing anything they could to get out of restraints. Isaac was the one I entrusted in keeping him locked up. Surely he was having fun with roughening him up a little. A smile graced my lips at the look on his face. The rogue was someone I didn’t recognize, but I was certain he came from Xeneron’s group. The little sh it had his imprint on his arm. Striding to the conference room, I picked up a booming voice straining through the wooden door. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“The Bloodlust Alpha not appearing is old news, but see this? This is what happens when women are ranked. They get bigheaded. The w hore probably spread her legs to get to the top-” My eyebrows pressed together in anger before I slammed the door open, not caring that it’s hinges loosened. Immediately, my gaze fell onto the pr ick whose mo uth was wide open and spouting all that nonsense. The man was thick with muscles, his power oozed off him like cologne, but it was more of a scare factor than it was reliable. Ignoring the piercing gazes from everyone in the room, I caught three familiar scents. Benicio, Hestia and Landon.

I nearly scowled at the me ntal images of their faces flashing in my mind. I refused to look at them. They didn’t deserve the time. Disgust flowed through my body like a tidal wave. My wolf snarled, canines bared out as she paced around in my head out of outrage. As I trained my body, she trained with me. She was so much more than she was before. She had learned to control her emotions which was hard for a wolf, to understand the situation a lot more closely and accept what our reality was. She finally understood the fact that our mate had been the one to abandon us. That he had rejected our existence and chosen to let us d ie. I held myself high. All seven Alphas were watching me with the intention of evaluating my capability. Nothing less than I expected. Chancellor Williams sat at the center, watching with great interest as I made my way to his left side. The only other missing spots were that of the Duskfall pack and Alpha Locksworth. Chapter 37 My eyes lingered at the seat Alpha Thompson would’ve taken but tore my gaze away before I could feel any more than I already did. Pulling the chair back, I sat beside Chancellor Williams. “I’m glad to see you made it.” He said. The lightness in his voice was clear. I plastered a smile on my face and leaned against the chair. My intertwined hands laid on the surface in front of me, showcasing my ring so that none of the Alphas would question who I was. “I was beginning to worry we’d have to start without you. I know you have a busy schedule.” before he parts his His gaze swept through the table of Alphas, landing on someone brie lips. “Isn’t that right, Selene?” I felt my lips twitch. The old geezer was having fun with this. Well played, Williams, well played. I felt the three pairs of eyes burn into me. The one sitting a seat from me, pr ickling me the most. His power grew but just barely. He had the same presence to him as he always did. The presence I desperately wanted in the past but now live to forget. I let out a small breath.

“Of course, which is why we should start this as quickly as we can. I won’t waste your time, so let me get to the point: The rogues. I want them.” Silence. Chancellor Williams was the first to break the tension. He laughed, his wise, crinkling eyes narrowing as he threw his head back. His body shook with laughter. “Always so straight to the point but I’m glad you want them. I was planning on having you handle them in first place. After all,” He leaned toward the table, eyes going cold. All traces of his earlier playfulness gone. His hatred for rogues clear in his glassy dark eyes. “When have you ever failed to break a rogue?” My wolf shook her fur out at the compliment. She enjoyed the praise of the Chancellor and wagged her tail in appreciation. Dealing with rogues was a specialty of mine. “I never did.” I said simply. “But you already know that.” Chancellor Williams held my gaze as our smirks widened in silent understanding. The others in the room were visibly tense from our exchange. I guess I just confirmed their suspicions about me including all the stories that reached them.
