The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Feeling so much at the same time that I couldn’t feel it anymore made me this way. I was so far gone. “The rest of them… were unsalvageable.” Alpha Crestfield explained. She looked at the sea of bodies with false indifference. I could feel her sadness radiate off her but she wouldn’t let it show on her face. Not in front of me, not in front of her pack members. “Just limbs and pieces left behind.” “And the Alpha?” Alpha Crestfield went quiet. I looked at her, surprised to see her lips forming a deep frown. “Dismembered and tossed in the river with the Luna.” My eyes widened as a sharp whimper left me. My wolf’s ears hanging low with her tail in between her legs. Her sadness mixed with mine as we thought back to the kind words of the Alpha our Alpha. A whole bloodline was erased. The Alpha, the Luna and then, their son. The rogues really didn’t leave anything behind. Nothing, except me. “The girl…” I stiffened. “She’s over there.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

I followed Alpha Crestfield to the corner of the morgue. A small body bag laid on the table. I looked at the Alpha, her mo uth not moving but her eyes telling me to go on. Lifting my hand up, I took the zipper in my fingers and slowly unzipped the bag. A wad of curly brown hair peeked through, her face pale without blood to color her skin, her eyes closed and thick lashes casting shadows under her eyes, her small button nose, dry and colorless lips in a pout. She looked so at peace, as though she was sleeping and not completely out of my reach. “Ho How did you find me?”

Alpha Crestfield stood behind me. She placed a hand on my back. Her warmth sending a soothing touch to both me and my wolf. She felt so… motherly. “You were within my territory. Only six minutes away.” My eyes went misty with tears that refused to fall. After all the crying I’ve done, I couldn’t handle it anymore. I was tired trying to be strong. Tired of trying to stop it. I knelt down, sniffling as I wrapped my arm over her cold, lifeless body. Her words calling me “mama” replaying in my head. Pressing my head on her stomach, I cried for my loss. Cried for the people I grew to love but lost all too quickly. 1 I cried for the weakness I had. Cried for my inability to have done something. 1502 # The Female Alpha’s Sane Kary 11.1 Cried for the lives I desperately wanted to save. Cried for the fact I was left alone yet again. Cried for the family I held love for, only to find out they wanted me dead. Cried for the mate that cruelly abandoned me when I needed him most. Cried for letting Lila slip through my fingers. But most of all, I was angry. Angry at the people who had done this. Angry at my biological family. Angry at the bond that ruined me inside and out. Angry at the Moon Goddess who seemed to be so h ell bent on bringing me misfortune. Angry at Landon and Hestia for mating and marking each other, causing me to pass out with Lila dying within my arms reach. Angry at myself for not being able to push through when help was literally six minutes away.

Had I kept pushing, kept going, had I not passed out, I would’ve had a chance to save her. A slim chance, but a chance regardless. A chance I would’ve taken for anything. I was angry at my powerlessness. Angry at the fact I was proving my parents right by letting everyone I cared for down. Angry for everything that has happened to me. Angry for having my happiness stripped away when I finally acquired it. Tears trailed down my face, eyes heated with hatred burning deep in my soul. My hands were clenched, body shaking with fury that needed to be released on those rogues. I swore, with everything inside me, I would get revenge. Be it now or in decades, I will make them pay. All of them. “Your mate is an Alpha, isn’t he?” Alpha Crestfield asked. I breathed in, slowly turning to look at her. She stood there in complete composure. Her hand never left my back. Her eyes sharp and calculating as she waited for my answer. She knew what it was, but she wanted to hear it from me. To see if I would try to lie to her. Gritting my teeth, I laughed bitterly. “Yes. An Alpha.” I said, thinking about their faces and the deep rooted rage I felt overflowing. “But he’s not my mate.” Alpha Crestfield rose a brow, a small smirk pulling at her lips. Withdrawing her hand to her side, she lifted her head higher. She looked amused. Happy, even. Her ag ed but beautiful face, contorting in slyness. “I see.” Chapter 27 She mumbled lowly, “You want revenge, don’t you?” My wolf perked at the tone in her voice. A suggesting, knowing one. Without hesitation, I nodded. Looking at Lila one last time, I let my hand caress her cold cheek. My fragile heart chipping away the final layers of warmth left inside me.

“More than anything.” Silence seeped into the room. A few seconds went by before I finally heard something. The men and nurse that had accompanied us started walking out the door, closing it behind them. Alpha Crestfield and I were the last ones in the room. She smiled, her eyes lighting up with interest.
