The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 I had a hair and makeup team do the finishing touches. When the preparation was over with, I had stepped out of my room to see Noah and Mailia waiting outside. Mailia with her brown hair pinned up in a bun was wearing a simple, white sweetheart neckline gown that reached just above her ankles. Noah who was wearing a black suit, had his hair slicked back with gel and a permanent smirk on his face when he saw me. Mailia gaped, looking at me as she whistled. “If I was lesbian, I would so do you.” I bit back a cough as Noah looked down at her in shock. The pure look of betrayal in his eyes as he stared at his mate grew when he put a hand to his chest. “And leave me out of it?” He shook his head in pure offense, “That’s just cruel, Mailia.” She shrugged, looking bored as she shot me a wink. “Well, I wouldn’t want to share. I would want her all to myself, isn’t that right Alpha?”

I raise a hand, unable to take anymore of this. These two were bad enough alone. So together? Yeah, no. “I think this is the part you two stop.I don’t even want to consider the things going through your minds right now.” The two immature kids giggled to themselves. I could barely make out what they were giggling about but it was most definitely something inappropriate. Sucking in a breath, we start making our way to the ballroom. The Gala had already started about an hour ago. I would’ve went earlier if it wasn’t for my dress being delivered late, thanks to Noah who so wonderfully decided to make a stop at McDonalds for an Or eo Mcflurry. Again, i found myself questioning my choice of putting him as Beta. All jokes aside, I had m entally prepared myself for what was to happen through those doors. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Many of the Alphas attending would be surveying me, watching out for any mistake I’d make even if it was just a minor one such as forgetting to laugh at a poorly made joke. Everyone attending tonight was out to kill. I just had to make sure I wasn’t going to be one of their victims. “Aren’t you nervous, Selene?” I look over my shoulder to Noah who genuinely looks worried for me. He was probably worried about my reaction to seeing Landon and Hestia or any of the Nightwake members that could possibly attend. It was either that, or that he was worried the Alphas here would eat me alive with their presence. “No, I’m fine.” I tell him honestly. I wasn’t worried about the whole Gala thing. As I trained for the Alpha position, Meredith has also trained me for etiquette and how to handle myself at social events. It was a big part in her instructions. You could make it or break it during these things. You could make new allies but at the same time lose some or even go as far as making some enemies. It took one wrong move, one wrong word to break the balance of peace. Admittedly, the only thing I was really slightly nervous about was Raizel. After listening to Williams and Elizabeth, i still hadn’t made up my mind. For now, I decided to go along with my initial plan (though it didn’t work out) which was to distance myself. I had been so distracted by him that I underestimated my pull toward him. Now that I knew the extent of my attachment, I could at least refer to him with his last name. We walked into the entrance, and immediately I was met with the loud chatters of people and the sound of glass clinking and heels clicking. With my head held high, I walked in with my Beta and his mate following behind me. All traces of our good-nature hidden under stoic, hardened exteriors. Playtime was over and they knew it. From the first step I took, I already caught everyones attention. The Alphas that had come sniffed the air, recognizing me as an Alpha they never met and instantly began to wonder about me. Pairs of eyes followed my every move and the once loudly chattering atmosphere was replaced with a quiet, tense one.

“Ah, Alpha Crestfield!” I turn my head to see Cade walking toward me with a small, pretty, dark haired girl beside him. From the newly made mark on his neck matching the one on hers, I put two and two together and realized it was his mate. The mate that he had been forcibly separated from by his father. I smile, noticing how much healthier he looked now compared to before. The dark circles were long gone and his eyes were a lot more vibrant. “Alpha Woods,” I greet with a nod. I turn to the woman beside him and she blushes, fumbling with the material of her rose gold dress. “-and this is?” Cade smiles, placing his hand on the small of her back before looking down at her. “This is my mate, Kayla.” He breathes affectionately. The love in his eyes burning wild for the small female beside him. She mirrored his expression, squeezing his arm in reassurance as she looks at me. “N-Nice to meet you, Alpha Crestfield. You um, you look beautiful.”
