The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Stefan, who’d been approvingly surveying Greyhound territory and sending not-so-subtle nods of pride in my direction looks at Noah and then turns to Weston with pursed lips, “Are you two, by any chance,” he tilts his head to the side, “Related?” It doesn’t take a second for his words to coax a response from anyone. Weston guffaws at the question, choking on the bag of skittles he was trying to down and put a hand to his chest in utter offense at the same time as Noah’s face morphs into horror. “Me? Related to that?” Weston chides, looking at Noah up and down with distaste and the wrinkle of his nose. “There’s a limit to how much you can insult someone, Alpha.” Stefan merely raises a brow which reminds me so much of Raizel and shifts his gaze back to Noah who nods enthusiastically at what Weston said. Crossing his arms, he purses his lips and lifts his chin in defiance when Weston catches his gaze. “Yeah, Papa Locksworth. Even Preston over there knows you can’t compare me to him. Its like comparing books and movie adaptions.” He looks at Weston without an ounce of hesitation, Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Trash.” Before Weston could respond with what I’m sure would’ve been a sharp, very insulting remark, judging by his face, Noah’s phone goes off mid “If you wanna be my lover” and does not hesitate to hold a hand at Weston’s scowl to answer it. “Beta Jones from Greyhound territor- Meeting? So suddenly- what?” Noah cuts himself off and swallows thickly, the mood of the room instantaneously shifting the minute his firm body froze. His eyes quickly fell to me and I felt a shudder run through me from the look on his face,

“Understood, I’ll- I’ll be sure to alert Alpha.'” He pulls the phone from his ear, not bothering to slip the device in his pocket and looks at me with his jaw tight. His hand curled around his phone tightens. “The Chancellor?” I ask him, watching the way his eyes narrowed just the slightest. He nods looking every bit conflicted. and speaks, “The Chancellor called for an emergency meeting among all Alphas.” He stops himself short. Parting his lips, he took a moment to look around the room and sighed before straightening up, “Landon Walker is detained at the Capital.” I don’t even blink, “For?” Weston’s phone rings next and he glances over to Raizel before moving to answer his phone. No-one is surprised to see the grim look that quickly glosses over his face. We all knew he had just gotten the Chapter 206 same call. “Attacking the Luna.” My eyes snap back to Noah and I can’t hide my surprise this time. Gone was the mirth that danced. around the room. Only heavy chains of dread was left in its place. Questions buzzed around in my mind at the same time as 1 drop my gaze to the floor. Landon attacked Hestia? For what? What could’ve been so terrible he lashed out at his pregnant, marked chosen? I lift my eyes back to Noah, “A board meeting is called for the demotion of his Alpha status.” T “Are you alright?” I lean into his frame, shutting my eyes for the briefest moment as the steady motion of the car calmed me. I peel my eyelids open and look at him, nearly letting out a soft sigh of content when his hand rested on my thigh, fingers curling around my flesh in attempt to show me reassurance. There’s a

softness in his greys, brows furrowed and lips turned in a slight frown as he squeezed. Goddess, was I lucky for him. “I’m fine.” I sigh, putting my hand over his. I gently rubbed at his knuckles to momentarily distract him, staring at the way the pads of my fingers drew invisible lines at his skin. Tingles of our contact is my constant reminder that he was mine as I was his. “Just a little shocked at the fact Walker attacked her. I didn’t think it’d be possible with a wolf’s protective instincts with their young. Even if she tried to kil l him, he wouldn’t have attacked her, much less strangle her when it would put the baby in danger. It’s odd.” Raizel looks down at me, pulling me closer until the side of my face is burrowed in his chest. “Will you be okay with his pack being there?” I have to withhold a sigh at his question. Because Landon was being held at a hearing regarding his Alpha status being stripped, elder Nightwake members were called to be included on the vote. I have no idea how this whole thing will turn out. A situation as heavy as this is nothing to gloss over. A few yes’s or no’s won’t be enough to make a decision. “I doubt they’ll try anything since the last time we’ve seen them.” Memories of Landon’s brutal beating by Raizel’s hand flashes in my mind. If my wolf relished at that, no one would know. The van pulls to a sudden stop and I release a breath. Isaac pulls the van door open, stepping aside as I step out onto Capital soil. The gravel under my feet crunch as I look at the tall structure of the building. Looming over me, it stared me down like it was a death sentence waiting to happen. Somehow, even from outside I could see the heavy cloud of dread in the air. The raw power of Alphas reaching me even without stepping inside was enough to draw out my wolf’s protective instinct.
