The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 210

“So you use a different last name, big fu c ki ng deal. No matter what you say, you’re still a Dixon by blood and law!”

At that I could hear laughter from behind me.

Noah laughs with a goofy grin on his face as Isaac lets out a few chuckles of his own. The mirth in their eyes as clear as day to anyone who watched them. Had anyone not involved walked in the room in that moment, they would’ve thought the two were just reminiscing on good old memories. Their response momentarily distracts Benicio as his eyes drift to them before returning to me.

“Am I?”

I ask him.

“The adoption and legalized name change documents approved by the Chancellor beg to differ.”

I shake my head at the look on his face,

“That transfer sheet had been invalid the day you marked Selene Dixon as dead. Changing that now won’t do anything. If you don’t want to accept my emancipation on those grounds, fine. There’s other ways. I’m not sure how well you know about temporary pack transfer, but we have clauses you see.” I glance around the room to make sure everyone’s listening, Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Should an individual who was on forced temporary pack leave be hurt or damaged in the pack temporarily chosen for them to reside in, this individual has the right to leave their pack. Without the need of approval from the current Alpha. He or she doesn’t need permission to leave a pack that put them in danger. Besides, I doubt you’d have any justification to win this argument when you used the Alpha command on me to get my signature.”

“You can’t prove that.”

I roll my eyes at his feeble attempt to hold on,

“Are you sure you want to go there? I could easily bring up a witch and have her look into my under oath and have her tell everyone what she sees. Granted, she’d also look into your mind, Hestia’s mind,”

I look at Sophie,

mind

“mother dearest’s mind and have her do the same. And i think we all know what she’ll see. If you even consent to the witch seeing in the first place.”

Witches had the power to look into minds, but they were only ever allowed to do so under the consent of the individual they’d be looking into. It went against the Order’s principle to do anything without it. As helpful as it would’ve been against rogues and criminals, they’ve held consent in high regards and would never allow themselves to participate in anything without it.

With that said, The Order preferred to leave wolf business to wolves. They’d rather not get involved the same way they’d rather no one get involved in their affairs.

I sigh before pressing my lips in a thin line.

“Surely you didn’t think this would be enough to bind me to Nightwake.” It’s as if those words spark something in him that made his eyes light up. He grins suddenly, looking between me and Raizel.

“You’re still Landon’s mate. As his mate you have a duty to be his Luna.”

My brows raise and I was half tempted to tell him how wrong he was but Raizel’s voice cuts me off. Humor him. Let them all see just who your true mate is. No one would dare question us after this.

My lips twitch up and I knew exactly what he had in mind. I raise my chin up, looking at Benicio and dared him,

“I’m not his mate.”

“You are.”

I conceal the smirk trying to slip passed me,

“You dont have any evidence of that.”

Benicio looks around the room. No doubt trying to survey the situation and coming to the conclusion he needed solid evidence to bring the Alphas to his side. To support his demand regardless of how idi otic and insa ne it was. Christ, you can see desperate written across his forehead.

“The Sacred Pool. We go to the Sacred Pool and let it show just who between the two of us is lying.”

He suddenly turns to Williams,

“Of course, that means Alpha Landon needs to come too.”

Williams casts me a look, his eyes telling me he’s unsure about this. I nearly forgot he didn’t know about the whole Romanuv-Luna incident. That he was still in the dark about the whole ordeal and that the closest thing to surprise that I’d seen on his face was the slight raising of the eyebrows at the mark on my neck. As far as the Chancellor was concerned, the only thing he knew was that we finally marked each other and that was only because the confirmation was so glaringly obvious. Well this was going to be interesting.

The Alphas in the room relaxed, though still cautious, at the sudden tension lifting in the air. The atmosphere somehow becoming breathable again. Williams finally broke from our gaze, still looking uncertain before gesturing to Opal with a nod of his head.

“Get the guards to fetch Walker. Use silver binds and make sure he has on the collar. We’re going to the Sacred Pool.”

I clenched my jaw for dramatics, enjoying the way Benicio looked as if he had caught us. Like he had cornered us like mice trying to escape a car. I could smell the overwhelming confidence reek off of him. It’s sickening. The way he treated me- a person, a living breathing human being as property. As something that could easily be passed between Alphas like a toy he wants to get back after abandoning it. Like I was nothing more than a m
