The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227

Where do we go from here?

The deafening silence must’ve been an answer to her.

“You can go, you know.”

I turn to Meredith. She has a melancholic smile on her face, but she sits dignified and poised. Even before she clarifies what she means, I know what she has to say. There’s an indignant part of my that doesn’t want to listen but I know better than to interrupt her.

“You can go to Ignis Red, Selene.”

The fondness in her eyes is overwhelming as she stands. She walks by Noah and Isaac, not even sparring a glance at Williams who also seems to realize where she’s going with this.

She walks over to me in three strides,

“When all of this is over, you can go and live the life you should’ve had. Be happy, have pups… No more suffering.”

“What about Greyhound, Meredith?”

I ask, my voice on the edge of irritation. To think she’d suggest that I’d turn my back on them. On her. I couldn’t imagine doing such a thing. Not after everything we’ve all been through together.

“I will not abandon you-”

“Oh, darling, you won’t. Someone else can take over. We have good people, Selene. Yes, you are the Alpha, but first and foremost, you are my daughter.”

She takes my face in her hands and gives me a warm squeeze. Her thumb brushes over my cheekbones affectionately,

“At first, it was just about getting an Alpha in my seat. But now, I only want you to be happy. And if the only way for you to achieve that is by leaving, then so be it.”

I stare at her for a beat, then two, astounded at this turn of events. I could feel Raizel reach out to me, but I couldn’t look at him. Not yet. I didn’t want to hesitate. To allow him to persuade me any which way. I wanted this to be my decision.

Meredith was deathly serious. Anyone could see by the way she was looking at me. She held my gaze and not once had she looked away or faltered.

She meant everything she said.

“Then I suppose we have to find another way,”

Htell her,

“Because I am not doing that.”

She lets out a defeated sound but nods reluctantly. I knew Raizel and I had a lot to talk about concerning this. Sooner or later our people would want answers on how this was going to be done. I had no doubt rumors and talk were spreading around our packs as we speak on what was going to happen to them. On whether or not they lose and Alpha or gain another. Joining our packs together would be ideal, but it was hard when our territories were cut off.
