The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 86

Chapter 86 It was easier to forget something you couldn’t really dwell upon. “No, its a little more complicated than that.” His nervous glance to Elizabeth told me he knew exactly how much more complicated it was. But he chose not to share it. Williams sighed, setting his dining utensils down as he lace this fingers together. “It’s not my place to say anything but…” He gave me a small smile, “-don’t back down if what’s holding you back is his mate. Trust me Selene, you won’t be doing anything bad if you choose to pursue your feelings. You’re not stealing him from anyone, that much. is true.” He swallowed, pushing his seat away and held his hand out to Elizabeth. She interlocked their fingers as they looked at me with a hopeful expression on their faces. “We must go now. We have to officiate some details for the Gala.” I nod in understanding but kept my mouth shut. His words running through my mind- as cryptic as

it was. “But Selene.” Elizabeth looks at me seriously, “-if you want him, get him.” Then she shoots me a thumbs up before sauntering away, dragging Williams behind her. I think over their words. I was sure Williams wasn’t lying when he said he didnt have a mate. But at the same time, it didn’t sound like he met her yet. As much as I would like to “get him”, there were too many unexplained answers. Answers I was itching to get but had a slim chance of actually receiving. And just like that, a week went by and it was the night of the Gala. I was in my guest room at the Capital, wrapped in my fuzzy robe with my hair damp as I stared down at the gown hanging in my closet in horror. I was planning to return to Greyhound after the night of the

Gala. Noah and his mate, Mailia, were meeting me here. They too were invited as my Beta and the Beta female. Isaac would’ve attended too, but according to Cade who was also attending, he wanted to stay back at the pack so he could finish training them quicker. I would’ve smiled at the memory if it wasn’t for the fact I was beyond petrified by what I was seeing. The simple blue silk dress I had picked was nowhere to be seen. Instead, I see a black, form-fitting lace gown with intricate gold lining detailing around the plunging - neckline and the hem of the gown. Just below it was matching black pumps with golden floral designs wrapped around the heels. I stared. And continued staring. It didn’t disappear. With a groan, I fished out my phone which was buried under the piles of clothes i had stripped out of when I was getting ready to take a shower and immediately called the designer who I was also good friends with. He was the one I purchased my gown from. The personal designer I has since beginning my time as Alpha. After the third ring, he answered. “Where is my dress Antonio?” I ask in a hurry. There had to be some mistake. This was not the gown I had personally picked out and fitted for. There might’ve been a mix-up. A terrible, terrible mix-up that needed be solved. “Whatever do you mean, Alpha?” I clench my teeth. My patience was wearing thin and the fact that he was sounding like he was having fun with this was pushing me to the edge.” “Antonio.” I grit out. Finally, he sighs. “I’m sorry, hon. Meredith asked me to send you that dress. She practically ordered me to.” I close my eyes in attempt to calm myself. Of course she did. “But you know… you should be glad she did. That dress you picked was cute and all, but it did you noContent rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

justice. This one is a killer and you da mn well know it.” I was now beginning to understand what Elizabeth was talking about. The dress that she kept bragging about to Raizel was real, and it so happened to be the one hanging in my closet. Those two were planning this and I had no doubt in my mind that Noah was part of this too. He was, after all, the one that personally brought me the dress inside of a grey garment bag. I was just too naive to check. I should’ve known there was a reason Meredith said nothing when I showed her the dress I picked even with that look of distaste on her face. Sighing, I pull the phone from my ear after defeatedly saying good-bye to Antonio and tossed it to the bed. With one last grumble to myself, I pull the soft gown from hanger and begin to put it on. The gown was gorgeous, there was no denying that. It fit me perfectly. Fit and snug in all the right places. I wasn’t foreign to tight fitting clothes. I had worn a great deal of them before but I had wanted to go. out comfortable for tonight. Forcing myself to handle countless Alphas all plotting some way to get rid of me earned me the right of comfortable clothing. It hugged everything my body had to offer and I had to say, I looked dam n fine. My blonde hair was slicked back, my neck laced with a diamond necklace Isaac had given me for my birthday and my ears adorned with matching diamond droop earrings.
