The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 139

“Selene told me about her mate.”

Perhaps being forthright was impetuous. It might’ve been rash but the anger spiking through my veins ran wild. Remaining calm was the best course of action but it was difficult to put my personal feelings aside.

It was the thought of putting Selene’s wishes over my own selfish desires to rip that mate of hers limb from limb, that calmed the raging inferno inside me.

The suffering Selene must’ve endured from being rejected had to be an inconsolable kind of pain that should’ve been unheard of.

I wasnt one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but just imagining her suffering physically hurt.

Who in their right mind could ever reject such a wonderful woman? Someone so refined, intelligent, beautiful- more so, it baffles me that someone had the audacity to reject their mate.

This rage was possessing, mind consuming and completely devours every thought of mercy inside

1. me.

My wolf who’d been feeding this desire growled out his intent to erase the fucker from the face of the earth. I knew if I ever met the man, I would have no ounce of self control and probably rip into him the second I find out who he was. And now, standing here with Selene’s mother, telling her that i knew of the truth and yet not asking her to go further in depth of who this man is and what he did, I was exhausting my patience with trying to keep myself in check and not doing anything irrational.

I wasn’t going to force her to give me a name. I would only hear it from Selene and only Selene. I respected her and her privacy. Anything about this mate of hers will come solely from her. This was a matter Selene and I would talk of and only until he was ready will I do something.

Asking Meredith Crestfield to talk, however, was for an entirely different reason.

Meredith seemed surprised that I knew. Her expression and the quick flash over her eyes told me so. Immediately her stance went sour, eyes glazed over with anger not directed at me but toward the man we both were thinking of ripping into. Her wolf prowls around, digging her clawed paws into the ground as a low snarl ripped for her lips. The Alpha in her still present even after giving up the position.

As if catching the slip, Meredith tightened her lips together and looked at me.

“I see.”

She grounds curtly. Ignoring the temptation to question her, I faced her with my resolve and tipped my head down without taking my attention off her. Her eyes widened.

“I’ve decided to do this before.”

began,

“Later on after Selene and I had gotten to know one another better, but after hearing what happened, I’ve decided there’d be no better time other than now.”

Meredith still hasn’t moved,

“I want to ask for your blessing.”

可

(Blessing to see her, NOT for marriage LOLOLOLOLLL)

I tell her. The effects my words are instantaneous. Her hardened confused eyes melting into such softness I never expected from the Alpha. Always appearing to be so crude with a touch of vulgarity in her humor, seeing affection in her eyes for the woman who effortlessly caught our hearts in different ways momentarily brought some nostalgia over me. She reminded me much of my father. Two Alphas who faced the harsh reality of what having power meant but never losing sight of what was important.

Family.

Something I didn’t believe I could ever have besides my parents but now have a chance to obtain.

“My blessing?”

She asked, a grin in her voice. Not from mock by the sound of the airy pitch in her tone.

“Yes.”

Raising a brow, she gives me a small smile.

“Why should my blessing matter? Selene is her own person, she doesn’t need me to tell her who she could love.”

Is her response. I don’t linger on the word “love” even when my heart picked up a beat at the way she glossed over it.

“Your blessing means everything. You’ve helped her grow into who she is today – the woman I am so helplessly captivated by. If thats not reason enough to ask for permission to officially be part of her life and yours, I guess my priorities are misplaced. Though I doubt it is. Not to mention, she cares about

you greatly. I’ve been taught to respect family and to Selene, you are family. You deserve just as much respect. The woman I see myself spending my life with deserves nothing less.”

I turn my attention to the side, suddenly feeling a bit bashful from the honesty.

“I’ve planned on having this talk with you soon but knowing how some bastard had hurt her, I thought it would be best for you to know my intentions. You’re probably wary of me as anyone would be after what she went through.”

Meredith gives me a slow understanding nod. She smiles. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“I’m sure even if I didn’t give you my blessing, you’d still be here hounding after her.”

I couldn’t help but smile at that. She wasn’t wrong but she wasn’t completely right either.

“You’re right. Even without your blessing, I would still pursue her. But while I would do so, I would also be trying to win your approval. Call me old fashion, but I would much rather have the hand of the woman of my dreams along with my future in–laws permission. Otherwise family dinners will be a bit awkward, wouldn’t you agree?”
