The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 38

Chapter 38 “Hold on, hold on.” My eyebrows rose at the new voice interrupting. The same annoying voice that dared to question my value just moments before. “You’re gonna let her take the rogues? This this woman?” He gestured toward me with clear disgust. This heathen was getting on my nerves. My wolf was ready to issue a challenge but I held her back. Insinuating a challenge right from the first meeting won’t leave a good impression on the Alphas I want an alliance with. Taking a deep breath in, I kept my lips tight and observed. “Alpha Windril, you must know of Alpha Crestfield’s reputation. She’s more than capable of handling these rogues. She’s been in charge of interrogation for the past two years, this is no different.” The Chancellor paused and glanced at everyone genially, “I called forth this meeting to assure that everyone was in agreement of passing them over to Alpha Crestfield. Objections will be heard as long as it’s in the space of questioning her capabilities.” He rose a brow,

“So forgive me if I refuse to acknowledge your protest in regards to her gender.” Alpha Windril’s expression darkened. His beady eyes turning black as he was shifting. Strands of brown fur started ripping through his skin. Immediately the other Alphas stood up, alert and ready to restrain him. Chancellor Williams and I were the only ones who stayed seated. “You let this wh ore handle such an important task? Are you mad, Williams?” Chancellor Williams growled, noting the disrespect from Alpha Windril. I glared at the Alpha, feeling my claws itching with need to sink them into his skin. We heard a faint growl surface from the corner of the room. My eyes drifted toward the source to see Noah shaking, his eyes flickering between black and green. His wolf was ready to go out in order to protect his Alpha’s honor. Alpha Windril’s black marble eyes laid on Noah, face scrutinizing the Beta. He was ready to fight him for the disrespect.

“Drop your stance, pup. I’ll put you down faster than you can even blink.” He growled, taunting Noah into starting the fight. The last string of my restraint snapped. He no longer directed his attention to me but to my Beta. And that was something I wouldn’t permit. “Are you challenging me, Alpha Windril? I asked, purè rage coursing through my veins from the threat underlying hione against my Beta. No one threatens my pack. No one. Alpha Windril’s gaze met mine and a toothy grin inched across his face. The smugness radiating off him almost making me choke on my desire to plummet him to death. “I’m not challenging anyone, darling. I’m only stating facts. You aren’t fit to stand with us.’ He opened his arms to refer to the male Alphas sitting at our table. “You should go ahead and let your mate take care of you. Actually, seeing as your neck isn’t marked, you haven’t met yours yet.” He tiled his head to the side coyly, “How about you come over to my pack? I’ll take good care of ya. You’d…ke a wonderful addition to my toys.” His words unburied unwanted memories deep in my heart. The people who forced me into what I am now sitting just a few feet away from me. I grit down, turning my gaze to Chancellor Williams. Faking my composure, I laughed sardonically. “I believe this is a challenge, Chancellor Williams. Am I wrong?” Chancellor Williams shifted his gaze toward me, his shoulders tense from the irritation by the man stirring up all this trouble. He smiled tightly before nodding. “No, I believe you’re right. It would appear that Alpha Windril is challenging your position.” No matter how good his poker face was, I still could see through him. He was more than acceptive of what I was about to do. I’ve heard stories of this Alpha Windril before. Unpleasant and infuriating stories to be exact. Some came from Meredith who personally had a bone to pick with the man. Supposedly even

then when she was Alpha, he was more than vocal about his sexist beliefs. I looked over to the young man standing behind him. That must’ve been his son, Cade. The boy who was nothing like his father, or so Meredith says. Without thinking much of it, I rested my head on my propped arm and let my gaze burn through the arro gant Alpha in front. He was not going to escape me today. I’ll do the world a favor and reduce the number of ign orant fools walking this Earth by one. “It’s only right we go through with the challenge. My honor is being questioned. I have the right to defend myself. So before we continue our conversation, why don’t we settle this like the Alphas we are?” I smiled, daring him to object. I knew I baited him the moment his dark eyes narrowed into slits at my taunt. “Alpha Windril?” The Alpha pierced his gaze at me and snarled. He probably didn’t see the point in fighting because he was so convinced he would win. That only managed to fuel my desire to skin him alive in front of everyone so that no one else will so much as think abo uestioning my legitimacy. Standing, I stared straight at him.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
