The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 229

Williams nods at Raizel’s words.

“Yes, I believe it would be for the best if you two talk over this. It isn’t an easy decision to make, and one neither of you can afford to regret. Take your time. Think things through. Let me know when you’ve made up your mind.”

Williams gives us a definitive nod, and I take it as a sign marking the end of the conversation. He doesn’t stay around for much longer, opting to leave the room for our discussion. The only ones left were Meredith, Noah, Weston, Emerson, Raizel and I.

Though that doesn’t stand true for long.

“I believe that’s the cue for all of us to leave.”

Emerson mumbles, getting up with a minor grimace on his face. The ginger stretches his arms as he gets ready to leave. Weston grunts in assent, dusting off his trousers when he stands beside the

“I suppose I’ll have to make sure those boys don’t go wrecking havoc.”

She pauses for a beat longer, her face set into a small frown before she sighs and pats my shoulder support. Then she’s out the door like the rest of them and suddenly it’s only Raizel and I. Us and the sudden weight of our choices hanging over us.

“I won’t ask you to give up your title.”

Raizel says suddenly as soon as everyone was out of earshot,

“As I know you won’t ask me to give up mine.”

He slips his hands around my waist, slowly turning me around to face him. I almost didn’t want to. I didn’t want to see his expression in fear that he might be upset. To perhaps be annoyed that I’m so hesitant when the answer is so obviously clear. Though I know my thoughts were illogical, it was that irrational fear of rejection eating away at me.

Dark grey eyes clash with blue and all my fears vanish. His lips quirk the tiniest bit,

“We both know what has to happen. It’ll be hard, but I will always stand by you when it does. I’ve told you before that I want your everything. That includes the burdens you carry.”

He lifts a hand, gently ghosting the backs of his fingers over my cheek,

“But I also know it isn’t me you need to have this discussion with first”

Then he leans down to kiss my cheek, lingering a second longer than necessary.

“I’ll be right here when you’re finished.”

I can’t help but cra ck a smile at his words. The things he’d just said instantly lessened the anxiousness I felt. It’s amazing how his reassurance can soothe the s pik es of turmoil inside me. More so after our bond was established.

“Am I that predictable?”

“No, my love. You’re just careful. But you don’t have

It’s a mess. It’s a huge mess and it hits me just now of how naive I’ve been. How very careless I acted. I’ve overlooked the importance of what the mateship I

packs.

I hadn’t thought things through and that was on me. I didn’t step back and think for a moment what our union signifies.

I was so caught up and drawn to Raizel’s sudden appearance in my life that I failed to see the problems it would result in. It was ignorant of me. I’m an Alpha, and the core in being one was ensuring the safety and success of the pack.

But even so, I can’t find myself to regret this.

I never could.

Call it selfish, but I could never regret him.

We’d make it through somehow, I had no doubt of it. It may be a hard and tedious journey from now on but we will make it out together. From the looks of it, we already knew where the answer of our future lies. There was really only one way this would end. Only one way it should end.

“You make it so hard not to love you.”

I tell him with an exasperated breath.

His answering grin never fails to make my heart s kip a beat,

“I should hope so. I’ve no plans for you to ever stop.

We pulled away a few seconds later. Lightheaded was a word I could closely associate with whenever Raizel was close by me. He was just so intoxicatingly good. I welcomed the momentary distraction and the respite his easy affection gave me. It helped me brace myself for whatever it is I’d face when speaking to Isaac,
