The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 79
His palms pressed into the soil, holding his weight up so not to crush me. He looked disheveled. Messy dark hair clinging onto his skin like glue, breathing harsh and rapid, plump lips parted as he took in harbored breaths, chest coated in a sheet of sweat, he looked enthrallingly chaotic.
Chaotic but undeniably attractive.
I swallowed, forcing to keep my wandering eyes on his face instead of his nude lower half. Thankful that he wasn’t pressing his lower half onto me, my wolf disagreed and attempted to coax me into peeking. She sent suggestive images of certain things in my mind that I knew my virgin mind wouldn’t have even thought about.
or at least, before seeing Raizel.
My cheeks burned with embarrassment at our position.
His hostility had vanished and was replaced with an inkling of curiosity. He looked at me with the same puzzled expression on his face as when we were in the cave.
Confused but in awe.
Taking his knuckles, he brushed them softly against the side of my face. The warmth that immediately spread over me, enforced my skin to rise with goosebumps. His gaze darkened from the dim light surrounding us. Overly conscious of our closeness, I wanted nothing more than the ground to swallow me whole. It seems though, my body had different plans. I unconsciously moved into his touch seeking for more. The flicker in his eyes acknowledging the fact.
“Selene.”
He breathed out. I shuddered at the sound of my name leaving his lips. The way he said it with that thick accent I couldn’t pinpoint. For a split second, I regretted not having a longer name. Had it beent longer, the more I could hear his voice. The more I could hear him speak. My wolf purred, tongue hanging out with delight. I stopped midway of speaking when his hand brushed along the curve of my jaw.

“So… strange.”
He murmured, trailing his thumb along the point of my chin. This situation looked far from innocent. His look of eager curiosity came across as endearing. Pouty lips turned into a frown as he stared. He looked as if he was searching for something. Sought after something that he could possibly find in me.
Without thinking, my hand raised to cup his cheek. He froze, snapping out of his daze, knowing my intent but allowing me to keep going. His watchful, cautious eyes narrowing down at me in confusion when my skin touched his.
Those freaking sparks.
They were all over the place.
Raizel stiffened under my hold, his gaze holding mine captive. When he realized I wasn’t going to do anything but simply touch, he leaned against my hand, softly nuzzling into my palm. My heart. clenched at the sight.
Dare I say it?
The Bloodlust Alpha was like a kitten.
I couldn’t help the small smile on my face. The pureness of the image presented in front of me warming my heart more than I thought possible. He immediately went still. His eyes widened at me.
before melting into an expression I couldn’t accurately explain. An expression that held nothing but undistinguished warmth. He mirrored my small smile with an almost shy one.
His grey eyes melted into thick, silver pools of tenderness.
Sentiment and conviction laying beneath them.
“Alpha Locksworth, why are you doing push ups in the woods nude?”
Raizel cursed, hanging his head low before turning over his shoulder to glare at the intruder. I shut my eyes, inwardly groaning as the sound of crunching footsteps got closer. Their scents
instantaneously letting me know that the Chancellor, his mate, Elizabeth and a few guards were approaching us. (completely forgot if I named her already and tried to look in the past few chapters but couldnt see it. If i did, please let me know LOLOLOL).
“I understand you want everyone to know you’re masculine but I don’t think this- Selene?”
Williams stumbled back, dropping his hand holding the flashlight to his side. Blinking profusely in shock, he stared down at me.
Under Raizel.
