The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 39

Chapter 39 “Chancellor Williams, I take it that you’ll be our umpire?” Chancellor Williams pushed his seat away and stood. He looked between Alpha Windril and I before nodding. Fixing his suit jacket he straightened up and pulled on his cuffs. “Of course, Selene. Gentlemen, shall we take this outside?” He asked the group of Alphas who looked more than curious as to what will happen. Quickly, everyone got up and started to head toward the exit. I walked behind the Chancellor with Alpha Windril following close by. He emitted his energy trying to make me submit only to have his efforts deflected. My apologies for losing my cool, Alpha.

Noah linked. I glanced behind me to find him frowning. He felt like he was the reason this was happening. Don’t apologize, Noah. This was bound to happen. The pri ck needs to get off his high horse and face reality. He has little regard about women. We don’t need Alphas like him leading a pack. Noah didn’t respond but I knew what I said made him feel better. I felt a tinge of relief wash over me from our bond. As an Alpha, I had a bond with my Beta and Gamma. It was similar to a mate bond but it was purely for business. It was to ensure that we all could work efficiently and compatibly with one another. Being connected would allow us to have a far more intimate understanding of how the other would think. Since the Beta and Gamma were chosen and not passed on through generations, there would be a need to affirm the individual’s allegiance. There were different types of bonds, however. The bonds between the entire pack and the bonds between the Alpha, Beta and Gamma were different. As the three highest ranking wolves, they needed to have separate links to ensure nothing would accidentally slip in the pack link. Think of it as a private channel only the three could access. To form a stable bond, you only needed to have a ceremony with a witch, but that bond didn’t go deeper than communicative reasons. It didn’t create as severe an allegiance nor did it promise loyalty

to each other. Many packs chose this bond mainly because many Alphas wanted to separate themselves from being on “equal” standings with his gamma and beta. They believed it would bring them to a lower level than an alpha should. Foolish thinking, but a traditional belief. They doubted a traitor would ever climb to those rankings so they never second guessed it. It’s what Nightwake believed in. To form the bond we did, Noah and Isaac had to take a blood oath with me, swearing their loyalty and life to the pack, in turn, binding me to them. The blood oath wasn’t something just anyone could do. The Chancellor was the only one who could perform it. Not to mention to it hurt. It was held at a temple near the Capital. One of the many temples built for the Moon Goddess. Roughly a week was taken when setting the bond./ napter Snapping back to reality, we all walked down the hall and to the large yard outside the Capital. Flat ground of empty space welcoming us. This was the challenge grounds where Alphas would challenge another Alpha over the right of claiming land. The last challenge happened about a decade ago. The Bloodlust Alpha had everyone shaking to the core to even consider issuing out a challenge after witnessing his brutal w rath. “You know how this works, Alphas.” Chancellor Williams boomed, clasping his hands together. He looked at the two of us. Everyone stood at the sideline when Alpha Windril and I stood at the center of the field. er’s land, claiming the “All is fair on the challenge grounds. The victor shall take over the Alpha title. It is up to them to decide what to do with it. The defeated will lose all rights to his or her pack and will have automatically relinquished the title the moment they’ve been bested. There is not limit. No rules except that the two contestants cannot step out of the challenge grounds. Failing to do so will mean immediate loss.” The entire time Chancellor Williams was speaking, Alpha Windril was staring at me. The cocky, overconfident expression on his face never leaving as he stripped off his shirt. I kept myself calm, showing him how his attempt to display his power had no effect on me. If he thought he could

intimidate me with a showcase of his muscles, then he’s underestimating the threat of rogues. I’ve seen and dealt with rogues far stronger in terms of will. Rogues don’t care if the opponent is Alpha or insanely strong, they’ll still fight. They’ll observe and assess the opponent but they’ll never run away. It was always a fight to the death with them. “I’ll have fun making you submit to me. Once I take over your land and your people, I’ll earn my rightful place back. I’ll have more women for my fill. And you, darling Alpha, will find yourself in a new position” He walked forward, purposely taking dignified steps to emphasize his power. He walked closer and closer until he was only an inch away. His tall structure loomed over me as he smirked.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
