The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 53

Chapter 53
“For reassurance as a liable witness.”
He explained. Yet somehow, a small tinge of doubt ruptured inside me. Something that told me he wanted me to come along for an entirely different reason. The Moon Goddess’ Pool was a sacred shrine. The Pool indicated the mate ties between the two users. A drop of blood from both parties was required to ink into the water in order to classify the bond as real. If the water turned blue, then they were mates.
If the water turned red, they were not.
The Moon Goddess placed the Pool there to ensure wolves, they weren’t misplacing their feelings of attraction. Of course, it was hard to mistake the pull of mates to mere infatuation but it was useful for those who had human mates.
“You wouldn’t mind, would you?”
His voice was tight. Almost like he was hanging by the string of my answer. I looked over to Noah who held my gaze, his eyes darting between Locksworth and I, in evident confusion. My wolf tugged at the barriers, willing me to go. She was wagging her tail, her tongue sticking out as she looked after Locksworth in pure awe. This reaction from her was so strange. She never treated anyone like this. not even Landon. Pursing my lips together, I shook my head. My curiosity was getting the best of me. “No, I suppose I could go.”
And so we did.
The drive to to the Goddess’ Pool was a short one. It was close to Nightwake territory in the neutral region just a few miles South. For a good twenty minutes, all I could think about was the intriguing exchange between Locksworth and I. There was no denying he was an attractive man, but would his physical features really have such a strong pull on me?

It didn’t make any sense.
My wolf didn’t make any sense.
“We’re here, Alpha.”
Staring out the tinted windows, I took in the large mountain with the mouth of the cave in view. Surrounded by trees that stretched miles from us, I felt a faint smile on my face. This was the first time I’ve ever been here. It was a lot simpler than I expected. Sliding the van door open, I stepped
out.
“The entrance is that way.”
Benicio said, looking directly at Locksworth. The wolf in him was thirsting for a fight. The denial of Hestia meant the denial of his bloodline. The ultimate disrespect for a wolf, especially for a Beta or any high ranking title. It’s almost funny how it didn’t matter when it happened to me.
I felt a surge of power come from Locksworth as he narrowed his gaze on Benicio. Sophie, who I just noticed was with us, stood close to her mate, urging him to calm his wolf. She too, felt the pressure from Locksworth. The pressure that said he wasn’t afraid to fight him if he were to be provoked
once more.
Locksworth looked to his Beta and shared a moment of quiet understanding. The Beta nodded, standing in his spot and turned to the two warriors they brought with them.
“Stay here, the Alpha demands privacy among all those involved.”
Sophie, who held onto her mate’s arm in a tight hold met my gaze. For a split second, something
flashes in her eyes but I don’t let it hold my interest. I looked to Noah and nodded in dismissal.
If Locksworth wanted his privacy, I would respect it by telling my warriors to stay put. Landon did the same, bringing no one but Hestia, Sophie and Benicio. All eight of us made our way into the shrine. Noah and I trailed behind, not really having any part in this but being spectators of the whole ordeal.
