The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 22

Chapter 22
“I’m sure you know the consequences for questioning me, Fio. Or must I remind you?”
I heard a slight whimper echo. Ripples of fear reaching me from this ‘Fio’ person. I took a risk. I peered over the tree trunk just enough so I can get a quick glance of the rogues. The three wolves were in human form, completely in the nude. Nudity wasn’t really a big issue anymore within packs, especially with rogues. Showing off their structures was like demonstrating their power. A silent presentation of status. The thicker in muscles they were, the more power they held.
The female in the trio bending her head down in submission trembled in her spot. I could guess that the male standing firm in front of her was Draxyn. His fists were balled, dark eyes narrowed down at the female. His head was shaven clean on one side with a tattoo of a dagger running down the side of his sk ull to the very length of his neck.
He was massive.
Almost as muscular as Alpha Thompson. He had streaks of black ink curving down his biceps and over his chest. Dark hair dripping with blood over his skin. The other male, who’s name I still didn’t know, had curly dark locks reaching his shoulders. I didn’t have time to continue observing them when he spoke,

“Relax, Draxyn. She didn’t mean it like that. You know Xeneron will have our heads if we fail. He wants the pack wiped out clean. No survivors.”
After a second of silence the pressure diminished. It seemed like curly head’s words knocked some sense into him. Fio visibly relaxed and sent curly head a look of thanks when she felt Draxyn’s anger subside. I couldn’t blame her for feeling so submissive. His power was tremendously heavy. Not as heavy as an Alpha’s, but quite notable for someone not in power.
Dropping his shoulders to relax himself, Draxyn sighed heavily. He pinched the bridge of his nose irritably with his temper threatening to return. He took a moment to recollect his thoughts before turning to look at curly head,
“Call the mutts. We’ve done our job here. It’s time we go back.”
Bowing at his order, curly head stilled. His eyes blanking out as he spoke to the other members through mind link. When he finished, the three turned around without another word. They hunched over the ground, hands digging into the soil with their backs arched up. They were mid shifting with fur starting to pierce through their skin when Fio suddenly looked over her shoulder. Quickly, I held still against the tree trunk. My breathing stopped, my heart racing and the dam ned migraine came back.
Did she see me?
A second went by in silence. By the sound of it none of them have shifted. There was no bone cracking or paw pounding. There wasn’t the tiniest bit of shuffling around the leaves scattered all over the ground to indicate that they’ve moved. The slightest of movements would’ve been heard especially with my heightened hearing. Yet there came none. I broke into cold sweat. In that split second, I tried wracking my brain apart trying to think of a good way to escape. A way that would give us more than a fifty percent possibility of survival. It’s not like i could climb a tree with Lila with me.
