The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153
My pack members knew nothing of my past. All they knew was that I was the lone survivor of the attack in Duskfall and that itself was a secret among our pack. Sworn by oath to follow me and listen, none of them ever doubted my credibility or question my mateship. They’d all assumed I simply didn’t meet him yet. If they thought anything else, they definitely didn’t seem to mind me being the sole leader.
Looking at the pups, I felt a little sigh rumble from my wolf. An affectionate, doting sigh that showed her content with being surrounded by children.
The pups refused to budge from their spots. Big doe eyes looking up at me with anticipation eating at their tiny little chests. My conversation with Meredith automatically registers itself in my head. Out of pure surprise at their innocent question, I automatically answered ‘yes’ without really thinking about it. The answer seemed to satisfy the pups. The answer seemed to excite the mothers. I nearly groaned from the way the women’s eyes sparkled with happiness.
What have I done?
“Really?”
One with dark curls asked. He stuck his fist in his mouth, innocent dark eyes staring through me. “Isn’t he scary?”
Isaac snorted back a laugh. Images of Raizel and I’s kiss playing through my head sent by him. I grind my teeth, glancing at Isaac with a glare which seemed to make him laugh harder. The pups looked at Isaac strangely; one of them leaning to the other and whispering.
“I like Noah better.”
The pups nodded in agreement and that’s what makes Isaac stop. He frowns, visibly bothered and childishly pouting.
“He’s not scary.”
I answer, remembering everything that’s happened. From our first meeting to how we are now. Scary was nowhere near the words I’d use to describe him. Though he hasn’t showed me anything but the good, I wasn’t stu pid. I know he has a darker side. I know he’s done things much worse than I can imagine, but what matters was what he was like with me. He’s a pure bred Alpha from the utmost degree and yet he calls me by nicknames, he holds me with the most gentlest of touches, kisses me with the most feathery kisses like I was the most important thing in the world.
Raizel Locksworth was sweet, considerate, gentle and most importantly warm.
He was so, so warm.
“How come you don’t have ta whatchamacallit… mark?”
Another one with red hair asked,
“Mama says mates mark each other.”
He points at his neck, then points at mine.
“Where’s your mark?”
At this, I found myself speechless.NI open my mouth, I’m not sure’ at the tip of my tongue when his
scent hits me.
“Some people are worth waiting for.”
I turn around. Striding toward me with his dark hair messily tousled back, a form hugging black

dress shirt and dark washed jeans, Raizel keeps his gaze on me. He smiles just the tiniest bit.
“And your Alpha is definitely worth waiting for.”
Heat rushes into my cheeks. A certain shade of pink laying on my skin as Isaac nudges at my mind. There’s a deliciously painful jolt in my heart when we our eyes connect. Goosebumps rise from my skin. Like little ridges of sensitivity budding from it’s grounds. I ignore him, instead focusing on the man walking to me. The pups’ eyes are like gleaming glass marbles with the way they stare at him like a Go d walking on ground. They follow his figure, mouths hanging loose while even their mothers gawk at the specimen before us.
I don’t really blame them.
I was ‘this’ close to gaping at him too.
From the grumbling sounding from my wolf, she didn’t like the attention he was receiving.
“Selene.”
He breathes out sultrily. The scent I’ve recognized on him as sandalwood calls to me.
His dark eyes scan me down, his bottom lip rolling in between his lips while a slight smirk tugs on his face. His wolf is ecstatically barking at mine. Their tails wagging in sync when they catch sight of one another. My heart mercilessly pounds against my chest. The ringing in my ears nearly blocking out the whispers surrounding us.
“Raizel,”
I smile. My wolf puffs out her approval. Obviously enjoying Raizel’s desire for us and decides to show him just how much she appreciates it.
I don’t have the chance to hold her back because before I know it, she’s taking the reins of control and literally flings us on him. Not a thought in mind but getting impossibly closer to him.
My arms open wide, wrapping around his torso in a tight embrace. A ear splitting smile on my face when I don’t hesitate to smother myself on his hard chest. My face diving head first into his warm. chest catches him off guard. He doesn’t stumble back but his body immediately stiffens from surprise. And just like that the traitor of a wolf thrusts me back with control.
Isaac splutters out, clearly not expecting me to throw myself at him.
“Oh look Mama, the Alpha is doin the same thing you do with dada.”
The pups.
The mothers.
The whole d amn pack is seeing this.
