The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Raizel was careful with me. It didn’t take a genius to figure that one out. And honestly, I wasn’t sure how to feel about it. While one part of me believes its simply because he wants to treat me right, another part argues that he’s too nervous and unsure of what to do. Like he’s so afraid he’d do something wrong that would make me turn from him. Either way, I didn’t have any problem of slowly finding out. And eventually, hopefully, start in figuring him out. I hold back a purr, loving the feel of my Raizel grooming me with his long fingers. Every once and a while I would feel the tips of his nails brush against the back of my neck. Each little stroke managed to elicit a shudder from me. A reaction Raizel found satisfaction from. “I don’t intend on hiding our relationship.” My eyes snap open. I look at him, slight alarm on my face as he stops stroking my head to give me his full attention. “Well, I doubt we did good job keeping it a secret anyway.” The lightness in his tone makes a smile tug on my lips. I laugh, laying the side of my face on his chest. Brining a hand to his chest, I play with the buttons on his shirt, thinking how bad it would be if I were to accidentally unbutton one. Or two. Or maybe three. “The Gala…”

I murmur softly. Images of our dance, lingering kisses and the crowd of Alphas, Lunas, and Betas falling witness to it all circle my mind. I hadn’t really thought about how the extent of our carelessness would have affected our reputation. I didn’t have a problem with it and from what I see, Raizel didn’t mind either. If the music hadn’t been playing while we danced, I’m almost sure the wolves would’ve heard us speaking. “I suppose it is too late to think about keeping it a secret, don’t you think?” He nods, beginning to rub circles into my back.

“I wouldn’t want to anyway. I’d rather everyone know you are off limits. I can do many things, my love, but sharing you is something I won’t do.” I raise a brow at him. The obvious possessiveness in his tone urges a smile on my face. He grins coyly when he sees my expression, “-And of course that applies to you as well. I’m all yours, my little wildflower.” Good. “I’m glad we’ve come to an understanding, Alpha Raizel.” I tell him, a glint of mischief in my gaze that hasn’t gone unnoticed. Raizel quirks a brow up, a slow stretch of a smirk ghosting over his lips as he lifts his hand to cup my cheek. The grin in place doesn’t waver on my face. Not even when he ran his thumb over my bottom lip, gaze darkening. “It shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s an appealing compromise, Alpha Selene.” The air around us shifts. I pull from him, straddling his waist but never breaking eye contact. Raizel lays beneath me, a look of awe in his eyes that melted into everlasting affection. The hand that had been rubbing my back falls to hold my waist loosely. He doesn’t say any more and resorts to watching as I experimentally 16:32 The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary $6.6 Chapter 134 run my hands down his chest. I feel every curve of his build; enjoying the taut skin concealed in the confines of his shirt. The shape and outline of his figure still very prominent under my fingertips. His breath hitche’s when my fingers settle on his abdomen. The urge to just rip open his button-up and skim my fingers directly onto scorching hot skin was overwhelming. His steely gaze only fed the fire in my stomach. “Goddess, you’re beautiful.”

He whispers softly. A swarm of butterflies ruptures from my stomach, a sure but painful blush coating my cheeks to vibrant red. I’ve been told many things in my life. I’ve been told that was pretty, cute, attractive but never really beautiful. Beautiful was a word that went beyond physical appeal. And the way he said it felt as if he meant more than just a pretty face. To him, I was beautiful. Not the shell or skin of who I was, but the content of who I am. He found who I am beautiful. And for once, I believe it. I believe it when he says it. For the first time in a long, long time, I feel beautiful. For the first time after the rejection, after losing Lila and Bentley, after losing Alpha Thompson, after losing Duskfall and after losing myself, I felt beautiful. And honest to G od, it scared me. Raizel noticed the shift in my mood and frowned. Cupping the back of my neck, he pulls me down until my head rested on his shoulder. An immediate wave of calmness blankets over me as I sigh into his neck. “I’m not really sure how to… comfort people.” He admits quietly, “-but I have no problem killing someone for you, if you wish.” I snorted, laughing into his skin as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I knew he said it to cheer me up, but somehow, very little part of me doubts he didn’t mean what he said. The little curve of his lips tell me he was proud of making me laugh. The obvious smugness attached to it, a clear indicator of the pride he feltConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
