The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 45
Isaac opened his mou th to protest but I cut him off,
“I won’t turn him away because of chance, Isaac.”
My voice dripped with conviction. Allowing small waves of my dominance to seep through, Isaac stiffened. After a brief minute,
he nodded but I could see his strong disagreement etching on his face. He looked down, eyebrows tight in frustration and
thinned his lips together. He was stubborn. Sulking at the decision I made. I sighed and raked my fingers through my hair.

“I’d like to see what he wants first. If it makes you feel any better, y welcome to stay close. Granted, you aren’t allowed to be in
the same the Alpha, but if anything he does makes you feel any bit suspicious of him, you can intervene. I trust you, Isaac. Now I
need you to trust in my judgment.”
Finally, Isaac relented. He nodded in defeat before glaring down at the door.
“Okay, fine. But if the kid does anything I don’t like, I’ll beat his a ss.”
The seriousness in his tone was almost endearing. I laughed, pushing myself off the edge. I placed a hand over his shoulder and
smiled,
“Yes, yes. My Gamma is quite a strong warrior.”
At this, he brightened. With a cocky grin plastered on his face, he dismissively scoffed.
“I’m glad you understand. I believe you’re missing ‘handsome, young, strapping lad’ but I’ll let it go. You’re one very lucky Alpha,
Alpha.”
With one last smile, Isaac headed toward the door to get Alpha Windril. I waited patiently, allowing myself to sit back down while
putting away my all important documents starting to haunt me in my dreams. I know for a fact Noah will not be happy with the
extra paper work being pushed aside. He would undoubtedly get a share from me, later today.
I heard a knock followed by Isaac’s deep voice,
“Alpha Selene, Alpha Windril is here to see you.”
I breathed in, making sure to erase any lingering expression on my face. Although I was confident in my judgement over Cade, I
would never let my guard down. I didn’t need to give him an opportunity to strike me just because I believed in the guy. Trust is a
very fragile thing that could easily be manipulated. It’s up to the person who believed, to have a back up plan when things turn
out for the worse.
When they end up being wrong.
“Come in.”
The door creaked open with Isaac leading him in. My eyes swept down his body. Now that he was closer, I could see the slight
muscles he had built up, the strong presence he gave and most importantly, the dark, unwavering eyes he had. The eyes that

refused to yield. It was definitely the aura he was giving out.
Strong, dignified, respectable.

Everything I didn’t sense from Windril.
Standing up, I reached out to him to shake his hand as a sign of my respect. He quickly grasped it, giving my hand a firm
squeeze before pulling away. If I was being honest, I felt a little awkward. I was staring at the son whose father I killed just
moments before. Thankfully he didn’t seem to have any motive of murdering me, so it eased my nerves just a little. Isaac gave
me one last glance before making a swift turn for the door and closing it
sh ut.
“Alpha Crestfield.”
Cade’s eyes held no malice. I couldn’t feel the faintest thirst for blood or his end. If anything, he was completely relaxed in my
presence if not feeling sligi out of place. Now that I thought about it, it was weird Cade got in without me knowing. No one was
permitted
to enter pack territory without my permission.
“Ms. Meredith Crestfield allowed me entrance.”
Cade said suddenly.
“She, uh, seemed quite welcoming.”
He answered as if sensing my question. I sighed, in annoyance. Something told me she most likely assumed he was a suitor, or
better yet, my boyfriend. Meredith was probably thanking the Moon Goddess by now for my
“I see.”
I breathed out with a pressed laugh,
behalf.
“Well, I’d say I was expecting your visit but I’d be lying if I did. So what can I do for you, Alpha Windril?”
I asked. Cade rubbed the back of his neck stiffly. He shuffled around on his feet before raising his eyes to meet mine. He looked
very wary. Not in the I-don’t-trust-you way, but the I’m-about-to-say-something-you-might-not-like way.
“I would actually prefer it if you’d call me by my mother’s last name, Woods. I’d rather not be associated to that sperm donor. You
could also just call me Cade, it doesn’t really make much of a difference to me. But please, anything but Windril.”
I already knew I was going to like this guy.
“Well okay then, Alpha Woods. Is there anything you need?”
Cade frowned. Sighing, he slumped his shoulders back. His wolf was a large one. Large but somehow... but a bit lanky. He had
all the qualities of an Alpha save for the proper training. He needed to fill out more
The only exceptional part of him right now, was the way he carried himself. It’s the way he announced his dominance.

Unexpected and uncontrolled. Sometimes he let it out at full force, other times he’d let it dwindle. In the conference room just
hours befce, I barely felt it until his father said he submitted to me. His anger was so vast his dominance poured out of him from
every inch.
