The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 48

Chapter 48
That was one thing I didn’t understand.
Wolves were instinctual. They were bats hit crazy for their mate, yet mine understood and adapted to the situation far more easily than any wolf should. It’s like she knew from the start something would happen, and only ever acted out when he was mated and marked. Other than that, her reaction to everything else was minimal compared to how other wolves would’ve handled it. Sure, she had been initially possessive over Landon, but she wasn’t forcing me to act out in order to obtain him. Some wolves would lash out if their mate so much as looked at another a second too long.
Mine never really did.
Shaking my head, I forced myself to stop thinking about it. I should be glad I was blessed with an independent wolf who wasn’t stuck on a man who didn’t want us. That’s another reason why agreeing to this meeting wasn’t all that hard either. I didn’t have to pretend like I didn’t care about him and Hestia because honestly, I don’t. I stopped caring the moment I laid there on the ground, doubling over in pain as Lila stared at me with those pretty little eyes slowly closing shut.
The only emotion that overwhelms me is rage over their betrayal.
The fact that they were willing to let me die.
The fact that they let so many others die.

There will always be that underlying tension that connects us but other than that they can do whatever they’d like with each other. As long a they leave me out of it.
I wouldn’t dare act like a coward.
Besides, this’ll be good publicity.
It’s about time I start forming alliances with select packs. Now that my debut was out in the was surely getting more eyes on me now. Just this morning I had a few requests for alliance formation form abroad. Some will try to kiss up to me while others will scheme.
open,
I
I’ll be prepared for both.
Obviously, Nightwake is not part of that bunch I was considering.
How could I ever consider people who don’t try to aid alliances when they need help? How could I ever consider people who don’t honor their word? I’ll never forget what they did to me. To Duskfall. To Lila. But by my going there, it would look like I at the very least, considered it. People won’t be able to say sh it if I actually accept the invitation. Their decision of ignoring warnings and refusing to aid a documented ally was treachery and punishable by law. At the same time, why were the
rogues giving Nightwake warnings? Why threaten them by destroying other packs? What was their goal? Their motive?
I had these infuriating questions swirl in my mind for years.
If I had been an officially inducted member in Duskfall, I could’ve brought my case to court. The fact I reached out for help and was denied could’ve been incriminating. As it was, at the time of the attack I was only a temporary transfer. I had no grounds to claim a breach in the treaty. I could plea my case telling them I heard rogues speaking about their treachery but what evidence did I have?
My word?
That wouldn’t be enough. Their denial of my attempt to communicate with them won’t do much either. They could just as easily claim that they didn’t know why I was reaching out at the time and use the excuse that we were on bad terms and simply didn’t want to speak with me.
