The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 68

Chapter 68 She begged, the desperation clear in her tone. Although her acting was terrible, I knew her desperation to be my mate was true. For whatever reason, she was dead set on becoming mine. Some other mateless Alphas might have taken the bait but I know better than that. The Moon Goddess could hold a serious grudge. I would know. “Alpha Locksworth is your mate?” The Beta asked calmly. For a moment, the flash of anger turned to interest, intrigue and most noticeably fear. Looking at the two now, I could tell they were related. They both had similar facial structures, and the overprotectiveness of the Beta proved to make the point. Beta Dixon looked at me in complete shock before his gaze traveled back to Hestia in silent question. With the slight nod of her head, his expression morphed into anger once more. He grit down on his teeth, his jaw clenching tightly before he dared to narrow his gaze on me. “You’re my daughter’s mate.” He stated, leaving no room for argument. Funny.

“Your daughter is lying.” I retort, not bothering to sugarcoat anything. I don’t have the time, energy nor do I have the will to play make-believe with the girl. She can say all she wants but in the end of the day, I know da mn well she isn’t my mate. I was never supposed to have one. And the sparks, tingles, or whatever t he f uck the mate bond comes with was most certainly not happening between us. If it wasn’t pure revulsion I felt for her, it would be growing distaste. “She would never lie. Not about mates. You can’t just reject her.” “Silence.” Beta Dixon’s mouth shut up, his eyes widening from his involuntary compliance to my order. The panic setting deep inside him grew immensely with the fear for his daughter. I look over to Chancellor

Williams who has a frown etched on his face. He looked at the Beta and his daughter before shifting his gaze at me. I ignored the look he was giving me. The look that said to take this somewhere private. But I wasnt having that. I was going to set the record straight in front of everyone. I didn’t need some of these Alphas thinking I abandoned my ‘mate’. It wouldn’t do well for publicity. “Your daughter is not my mate. She knows that. I don’t understand why she would bother lie about it when she already has a mate, but I don’t exactly care much to begin with.” My gaze narrowed at the bump under her dress. “I’m sure you’re not going to claim me the father as well?” Her face reddened, her hand instinctively going to her stomach as she flushed in embarrassment. My wolf snorted, whipping his tail back and forth in aggravation. His eyes scanned her once before dismissively huffing out his disdain. Pressing my lips together in a hard line, I look over to the other men who were watching the exchange silently. They kept their gazes away from her and solely focused on what I was about to say, “I believe we’re done here. Shall we?” They all gave each other a brief look but nodded, straightening up and clearing their throats from the awkwardness growing around us. “Uherm, yes. We shall.” Muttered Monterey as he loosened the tie around his neck. Williams gave me a nod and began to lead the men forward, walking by the woman who was still on her knees in front of me. She had long let her hold of me go when I made the comment of pinning me as the baby’s father. Turning to the Beta who was struggling to open his mouth, I narrowed my eyes down at him. He flinched, feeling the hostility and stopped his fruitless struggling against my order. If I could, 1 would rather leave him like this forever. But I don’t intend on making pointless trouble with Nightwake. That’s just more work than necessary. Of course, if they start it, I won’t have a problem ending it. I could use the Luna’s false claims as evidence of malice and just get right on to it, but surprisingly, my wolf told me not to. He was stubborn on reigning in his anger.

He wanted me to ‘wait’. I don’t know what the hell that means, but it would seem like something is supposed to happen with the Nightwake pack. Whether it had something to do with the Alpha or the Luna, there was no doubt my mind it was something big. So instead, I simply glance one last time toward the two before turning on my heel and following the men out. in Release. The sound of the Beta gasping out in harbored breaths was the last thing I heard before we entered. the conference room. Present “Williams, it’s Locksworth. Yes, I’ll be staying at the Capital for a week or so… Depending on how long it takes… Of course… No, Beta Creed is not attending. It’ll just be me. My wolf he needs it… yes.. okay.” My gaze swept to the door when three knocks bounced into the room. Weston stood behind it, his presence made known to me through our blood oath.
