The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 32

Chapter 32
“I was there.”
The silence on his end told me he knew what I was talking about. That he had heard me. Next thing I knew, I heard a thunder of rushed footsteps heading my way. I stayed rooted to my spot when he emerged from the darkness. His dark hair was very similar to Maria’s from the pictures I’ve seen, bluish green eyes identical to Bentley’s. He was a handsome man, tall and muscular with a stubble on his face.
Dark circles rimmed around his eyes.
“Who are you?”
He asked hoarsely. I felt, rather than saw him shaking. His voice broke in the tiniest ways. The little tremor from his words as he spoke, the misty eyes he desperately tried to control. The pain was fresh in his heart and I had just added salt to the wound. But I had to tell him.
“I stayed at Duskfall for two months.”
I said quietly, feeling the need to explain.
“I- I worked for Bentley. I worked for your dad.”
Isaac’s eyes widened in realization and before I could even comprehend it, he smiled. A small, almost sad smile curled on his face. His eyes lightened as he took me in from head to toe like I was some mystic being he never believed to exist.
“So you’re her.”
He said, almost in a daze.

“You’re Selene.”
My eyebrows shot up in question. The mentor guy who was still standing there watched the exchange with interest. Isaac didn’t seem to mind. He was fully aware of the large man standing to the side leaning against the wall, but his focus was on me.
“Dad he- he wrote about you.”
Isaac said, clearing his throat after mentioning his father.
“Told me he met someone who got Lila to start talking more. That this ‘Selene’ was a sweet girl he wanted me to meet.”
He laughed quietly to himself, wiping his eyes with the heel of his palm.
“I wish we could’ve met in other circumstances but I guess I’ll take what I can.”
Isaac hung his head low. No doubt feeling everything all over again. Cautiously, I reached out to touch his face. Isaac froze, body tensing under my touch but didn’t make a move to push me away. So as gently as I could, I slid my hand over the back of his neck and pulled him down. I pulled him lower and lower until his head was resting on my shoulder,
“I’m so sorry.”
I whispered.
“Bentley changed my life. He and Lila and everyone in the pack gave me purpose but I- I

couldn’t do anything to help. I couldn’t even save Lila. I’m so sorry, Isane. I failed everyone. I’m so, so, so sorry.”
Each word got remotely deeper and deeper. All the emotions I was trying to bury slipping through my mask of indifference. Isaac remained quietly still in my embrace, I didn’t notice his trainer had left, giving us a moment of privacy, Isaac still didn’t say anything but he slowly wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer as something warm began to drip down my shoulder.
“My dad… did he did he ever talk about me?”
A short laugh left me. Fragments of my memories flashing through my mind,
“All the time.”
“Was he… proud?”
Pulling from his hold, I cupped his cheeks in my hands and smiled,
“Always.”
