The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Didn’t that count for something? “W-H-How did you… Where were you? How are you?” At this, she rose a brow. She was completely unamused, almost dreading my presence for the mere fact she would rather do anything else than be here with me. All the questions and things I wanted to ask and say to her blanked out of me when I soaked her in. She truly was beautiful. She had gotten toned. Her form was much better than before, allowing me to see what good four years of training had done for her. A huge part of me was glad to see she didn’t take anyone else. The missing mark on her neck told me so. But there was still a possibility that she was seeing someone. A possibility I didn’t want to consider. “Alpha Walker, if you have any business with me, please make an appointment. I don’t have time for small talk and pointless little reunions.”

Then without even blinking, she pulled the car door s hut and waited for the man to climb in with her before driving off. The vans followed suit leaving behind a fog of dust to blur my vision. I watched her drive away for the second time in my life. But somehow, it felt like I lost something I didn’t have. “Well, that was quite a show.” I didn’t look away from the road to know that Noah had an annoyingly smug expression on his face. I could feel his excitement and pride swelling through our bond. He made dam n sure I knew how good he was feeling. How much he enjoyed what he witnessed. The overwhelming satisfaction he got from the little show. The way his voice was slightly higher and pressed than usual was also a dead giveaway. He claimed to have a love for drama. “My favorite part was ‘please make an appointment’ but then again, the whole thing was great. There’s so much to choose from.”

He sighed in content before looking at me seriously, “I’m afraid I’m falling hard for you, Alpha. Don’t tell Mailia. It could be our little secret.” The urge to smile was getting harder to resist. So I didn’t. My lips tugged up and I shook my head in amusement. I made a me ntal note to tattle on him so he could face the wr ath of his mate. Goddess knows he’d rather face any punishment I’d give him than be given the silent treatment by his beloved destined. Gripping the wheel in my hands, I glanced over to him. Noah had been talking about this for the last thirty minutes of our drive home. He made me feel like a celebrity with the latest scandal from the way he was talking. Like I just had a mini cat fight with some girl and ended on the front cover of tabloid magazines. Except in this case, a dog fight. Taking a left turn, we entered pack territory and nodded at the warriors guarding the border. From a glance, I saw our best fighters aside from Isaac watching with aution as we approached. Eyes narrowed in alert and bodies tense in caution. The Head Warrior lurched forward, ready to jump down in front of the car when his gaze met mine. He backed off immediately but said nothing. He waited for his comrades to take notice themselves. iptet 42 When they caught scent of who we were, they relaxed. Black eyes swirling back to their original shades. They bowed in recognition before pulling the metal gates open. Welcome back, Alpha. Beta Noah. Noah linked back, Keep your eyes open. Driving into the lot, I felt relieved to see nothing had changed. It was always like this whenever I left pack territory. A small part of me was always afraid that when I came back, everything would be set into flames. Lives would’ve ended, bodies laying around in a puddle of their own blood, families torn apart and children knowir othing of the horrors that await them. Absolutely anything could happen at any given second. I learned that the hard way with the attack at Duskfall. I was certain I wouldn’t be able to get back up again if I had to witness the same thing happen twice.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Not when I was the sole person in charge of protecting them. Once I parked the car, I unbuckled my seatbelt to find Noah’s eyes flashing blank. He remained completely still for a few seconds before his eyes returned to its usual vibrant green. His posture stiffened, expression wiped clean of any lightheartedness. “Chancellor Williams sent a memo. There has been a change of plans, the two rogues are staying at the Capital. He wants you to conduct the interrogations there. Xeneron has been keeping a number of rogues around the territory. Reports say they’ve found some lurking near the woods. The Chancellor doesn’t want to risk the chances of the two escaping by bringing them out.” A frown inscribed itself on my face. I knew things were a little suspicious. Xeneron wasn’t going to give them up that easily. Fio and Val knew far too much to simply be discarded like used tissues. They had bigger roles than just being his henchmen carrying out orders. They probably had a good amount of knowledge for future plans and campsites. Xeneron knew, only too well, the risks he’d have if they decide to talk. Which made the rogues all the more important. Knowing Chancellor Williams, he’ll make sure the possibility of escape is zero before giving up our valuable subjects.
