The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 207

Raizel steps beside me, slipping his arm around my waist. He drops a kiss to my forehead before.

leading us inside. I try to search for anything in our bond, his feelings are completely open to me. 1

don’t sense anything from him. Either he was excellent at keeping a facade or he simply didn’t think

much of this at all. Regardless, it helped me calm down. We reached the entrance just in time as the

door creaks open.

It’s Opal who greets us, sending us a small smile as she wordlessly walked us to the conference room.

Noah, Isaac, Weston and Emerson lag behind, looking around on high alert as they silently make note

of our surroundings. Meredith and Raizel’s parents stayed behind. The two Locksworth’s had made

their way back to Ignis Red to keep watch for the duration of our time here.

The power from all the Alphas being in the same area put everyones wolves on edge; almost tense to

the point their muscles bulged out in preparation in case something happens. Even Noah himself

hardly said a word since we set out for the Capital. He didn’t bother bicker with Weston either which in

itself, was a surprise.

Walking down the corridor, Raizel and I step into the conference room, immediately catching the eyes

of everyone inside. Williams is sat at the center of the wide wooden table, his face grim and hard as his

brown eyes scanned the room. Elizabeth sat beside him, her face more weary than I anticipated.

There’s complete silence.

So silent you’d hear a pin drop. The gravity in the room was thick- heavy with trepidation. It was the

perfect setting for a fight to break out. One wrong move could quite possibly trigger aggression from

anyone. My wolf was on alert, not liking the way how some gazes felt. More specifically, Nightwake

gazes.

I sensed them before I even laid my eyes on them.

Hestia sat beside my mother, their hands intertwined as my father stood.

Her face was pale, blue eyes hollow and sunken in. Her blonde hair in a half-hearted ponytail and the

hand mark around her pale neck was evident enough that what they’ve accused of Landon was true.

Somehow I still couldn’t believe it. Had someone told me this would happen four years ago, I’d never

believe it. The stress of pregnancy and the current situation shows in her expression. The way her

posture was loose, shoulders hunched forward and head tilting down. Still, I turn from her and look at

Williams. He nods at us, gesturing to the seats. Silently Raizel and I sat down, taking note how the

Alphas in the room all stared at the marks at our necks. The power shift is almost incredible. One

minute no one is saying anything and now, a second later everyone is whispering amongst themselves.

“Landon Walker is in detainment as you all know.”

Williams looks at me before shifting his gaze to the rest of the Alphas. All conversations cease as they

listen to him.

“There’s a question of his capabilities as Alpha. The assault on Luna Walker and his recent…actions”

He emphasizes the word, obviously hinting at the brawl between Raizel and Landon. There’s no

question that word had spread. Everyone in this room knew of what happened. There’s simply no way

no one knows about it. Something as big as that would definitely make it far across wolf territory.

“-Have led to a dispute of whether he is worthy of keeping the title. You’re called here to set a vote, to

discuss what should happen to Nightwake. The pack involved is here to offer their own ideas. Should

any Alpha in this room make a challenge, it will be discussed after casting vote.”

Chapter 267

I glance over to the group sitting with behind Hestia. Familiar faces stare back at me with what seems

to be desperation. Desperation for what, I’m not so sure. Surely they don’t expect me to come and save

them, do they? Nightwake couldn’t possibly think I was going to involve myself willingly.

“Beta Dixon is here to speak for Alpha Walker.”

Benicio steps forward, his eyes never straying from mine. I can feel it deep in my bones that he’s about

to start something. I see it in the way his eyes glint against the light in the room. Before he even opens

his mout h, I brace myself for what he’s about to say.

Though honestly, nothing could’ve prepared me for what he’d say next.

“The Alpha’s actions was due to the fact his mate was taken from him. His rightful mate, Alpha

Crestfield, mated with another. It’s because of this that the Alpha has been acting out. As a pack, we’ve

made our decision to best solve this problem.”

He looks at me. Steely blue eyes stare with no hint as to what he was feeling. The hardness in his gaze

remind me of who he is, what he did, and why I should never follow in his footsteps. Even with these

two pairs of eyes identical to one another, we were completely different.

In no way were we similar.

“We demand our rightful Luna back.”

Everything happened all at once.

Sounds of horror echo in the room- screams, shouts, horrified attempts to calm the raging Alpha in

front of everyone’s eyes broke the strained silence. In a matter of seconds Raizel had thrown himself

over the table, knocking down his chair to the ground with a loud thud, his dark eyes blazing with

unadulterated anger as he held my father’s throat in a tight fist. A warning, progressively loud growl

pulls from between his teeth. Veins adorned his neck, his body heaving with unrestrained fury that

made all the Alphas in the room stand with alarm.
