The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 57

Chapter 57 “Alpha Locksworth.” He stared, slowly nodding back with darkened eyes. His muscles tense with an ache to do something. His fingers twitched ever so slightly but he balled his hands. “Alpha Crestfield.” He acknowledged. I looked toward his Beta in silent goodbye. With Noah by my side, I cast Landon, my father, Hestia and my mother a look before turning to leave. Walking closer and closer to the exit of the cave, my body felt heavier and heavier the more distance put between us. I resist the urge to meet the piercing gaze willing me to look at his grey, steely eyes because I know, if I met them, even for a split second I’d be entranced. So entranced I doubt I could ever get out of it. Landon’s POV I couldn’t help the smug look on my face as the water turned red. Pride and joy surged through me, knowing that Selene was no one else’s but mine. My wolf puffed his chest out, growling out his approval at the turn of events. Our souls were intertwined with the red string of fate, woven by the Moon Goddess herself that no one could ever interfere with. Not even Raizel Locksworth.

Bloodlust Alpha be dam ned. “I’ve seen the results concerning Luna Walker. If you need me to clarify it with the Chancellor as a witness, don’t hesitate to contact me.” Selene said nodding toward him. Her eyes lingered on him far longer than I liked. A burst of jealousy fizzing in the depth of my chest. “Alpha Locksworth.” She whispered. He looked at her. His eyes soaked in her entirety, slowly nodding as if he just remembered to respond in that moment.

“Alpha Crestfield.” Her eyes suddenly tore from him to seek out the man standing behind him to say goodbye- the Beta, Weston Creed. With one last look at Locksworth, her gaze suddenly fell upon me. But as quickly as she looked, she shifted her gaze to everyone else. She didn’t spare a second longer for anyone before leaving. My wolf whimpered, pawing at the barrier as he watched his mate walk away. Since seeing her again, he was more insistent on making me do something to win her back. To make her mine. For the past four years I didn’t see her, I was living a tolerable life. Surely, when I felt the bond snap, 1 was shocked. Shocked, hurt, heartbroken but at the same time, relieved. Relieved that I no longer had to worry about the lingering feelings I had for Selene when I was with her sister. I thought that with Selene gone, I had nothing to feel guilty about. That I didn’t give half my heart to Hestia but the other half for Selene. After all, how can someone have half my heart if she’s dead? I thought it was okay to think that way, all until Hestia got pregnant. When she got pregnant and found her ‘mate’ thus distancing herself, it opened my eyes. It made me realize that Selene was irreplaceable. That unlike Hestia, she was solely crafted for me. It was then when I realized the weight of what a mate was. your Your mate wasn’t just a destined partner. Your mate was something more. Your mate was half life, your soul, your every living cell to make you who you are. A mate would never abandon you and choose someone else. A mate could never fall out of love. A mate was someone who could never love another the way they loved you. A mate that I never was for Selene. A mate I never gave her a chance to be. I know it’s f uc ked up, I know it’s morally wrong, I know I have no right- believe me, I know. But after everything, I also know now that it was all a mistake. It was a mistake to choose Hestia.

It was a mistake to reject her. A sudden weight pressed down on my chest. I felt the heavy chains of guilt, remorse and regret weighing me down as I stood. F uc king great. This is all just f uck ing great, really. A flare of anger brewed inside me as I turned to the female carrying my pup. She stood behind her mother, hands shakily clutching onto her sleeves as she watched me with wide, fearful eyes. The spark of anger quickly turned to waves of fury. We are all talking when we get back. I mind linked Hestia, her mother and Beta Benicio. Their eyes snapped over to me. I caught a flash of worry in both of their eyes for their daughter. They knew the anger I felt right now would not cease until I had a word with her. Beta Benicio gave me a curt nod, but I could feel his tension. His eyes spoke words as he cast his daughter a look of pity before turning away. Now I had one more problem at hand. I looked over to Locksworth who was still watching after the entrance of the cave from where Selene left. I flexed my jaw. I did not like the way he was looking after her like a man in love. His ridiculous request of trying the pool together had already put me in boiling water with my wolf. Clearing my throat, his gaze cut over to me. Immediately, the lightness in his eyes were replaced with an icy glare, focusing down on the woman who shield herself away from his gaze.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
