The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 211

Raizel stood up, glancing at the Nightwake wolves before curling his arm around my waist. The domineering aura he gave out sought chills to run down my spine. The almost feral look hidden beneath his eyes coldly passing over each head. The gesture is purely territorial, the look on his face set in hard cold ferocity that made the wolf inside me purr with approval. Her gray tall swishes back and forth, eyes wide with a certain sparkle to it. She found it amusing. Maybe even adorable.

Raizel narrowed his eyes the minute they landed on Benicio, letting out a small smirk when he stiffens under his gaze, and kisses my temple before leading us out with one final glare. He doesn’t need to say anything for me to understand just how much he was holding back from pummeling him in the face. The restraint he was taking was incredible to say the least.

As I let Raizel lead us out with the Betas and Gammas following suit, I felt a sudden wave of unease. I could feel their eyes burn into my back.

Mostly from the wordless Luna who stares after us.

We catch one another’s eyes, unable to resist the calling of her gaze. I wasn’t surprised to see the heavy emotion embedded in them. Her gaze telling me so much but nothing I was looking to understand. There’d be no point. I was simply uninterested. Sparing them anything more than a glance in itself was tiring.

The walk to the courtyard outside was silent. Noah and Isaac walked along with Weston and Emerson behind us, not saying a word but silently surveying the area. The tension still hung heavy in the air, the other Alphas looking just as wary as they had been in the conference room. If the reason why we were called here wasn’t so morbid it would’ve been comedic to see these bulky Alphas looking worried.

Shaking my head, I looked forward only to snap my head back when the sudden sound of chains clinking and clanking catch my attention. I’m all too aware that I’m not the only one who noticed. Everyone watches as four large men haul down Landon who was guarded and wrapped with silver. chains. Surprised murmurs broke the silence as everyone watched rooted to their spots. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him.

A silver collar circles around his neck, silver binds bound to his wrists and ankles attached to a thick chain held by the guards. He looked exactly like a rabid animal forced into submission. His eyes are sunken in, hair looking damp and skin so pale that even his lips looked alarmingly discolored. I couldn’t even hide my surprise. He’d looked like he age d decades of his time. So deathly that regardless of all the burning hat e I felt, I couldn’t help but pity him. But I was quick to squash it down. He didn’t deserve it after all.

Light flashed in his gaze but quickly darkened when Raizel moved his body forward to shield me away from him. His chest rumbled, the beginning of a growl brewing from the depths of his chest. Landon helplessly looked between us two until his attention settled on my neck. And just like that I could feel his rage burn through any bit of exhaustion weighing him down.

I rolled my eyes, tugging Raizel forward before the man could start a pis s contest. Reluctantly he allows me to lead him away but if he thought I didn’t see the sly smirk he directed at Walker, he was gravely mistaken. Even then I thought it was adorable. Goddess, who am I?

Other than the awkward staring contest, getting to our designated vehicles was easy enough. Landon was led to a detainment van, exactly like the one we used to haul Chamberlain back to the capital. It was amusing to say the least as Nightwake watched their Alpha get dragged into the vehicle, practically spewing profanities at the guards. Williams, who stayed back to make sure he

was properly detained, watched with an easy smile without a care that the packs watched him.

“There’s nothing more I want than to ruin them for all the pain they’ve caused you.”

the gruffness of his voice shook me out of my thoughts. I look up to him as I settle by his side. The greys in his eyes soften as his lips tug into a small half-smile. He looked outside the car window, intently watching Dixon lead Hestia and my mother into the car. His-gaze narrowed.

“But knowing you, simply stripping away his title would be too simple.”

“Way too simple.”

I agree, lacing our fingers together as Noah pulled the van door s h ut.

“I don’t just want to destroy him. I want to take everything away. Strip them of everything they’ve worked for. Take away their power authority, status. I want to step on their pride, drag the very little honor they have across the mud and leave them to rot in the holes they’ve dug themselves the minute they chose to allow another pack to perish. The minute they decided it was alright to abandon an ally and turn a blind eye to the blood spilt because of their selfishness.”
