Chapter 28


    Chapter 28


    “Would you like a chance to fulfill it?”


    My eyes connected with hers. I knew she was deathly serious, but so was I. This woman, the Alpha of


    Greyhound, was giving me a chance. A chance I never got in Nightwake. A chance in getting


    vengeance on those who wronged me. A chance to rip into that rogue’s chest and tear out his heart.


    A chance I wasn’t stu pid enough to let up.


    “Yes,”


    4 yearster


    “Alpha Selene, Ms. Meredith Crestfield is here to see you.”


    I paused, my fist an inch away from hitting the punching bag. Ragged breaths left me as my chest


    heaved from the overexertion of my body. Whisks of pale blonde hair clung onto my skin from the


    sweat coating it. Dropping my posture, I put a hand to my hip and nced over at the clock on the wall.


    6:30 AM.


    I’ve been working out for three hours already.


    Noah Jones, my Beta, stood right outside my personal gym. He wore his usual ck button down with


    dark dress pants matching with ck dress shoes. With a stack of papers tucked in his arms, he


    looked at me expectantly. His green eyes shifting to the busted punching bags on the floor before


    returning to me with amusement. His lips twitched. A small smile threatened to inch across his face but


    he withheld himself.


    Stressed?


    He asked in the mind link. A mumble pulled from my lips while I ignored him. Pulling the wraps around


    my fists off, I stepped away from the punching bag and walked over to the bench where my bottled


    water was. No doubt about it, I was stressed. Piles and piles of admission requests wereing in all


    at once. Sure, I had Noah with me to help, but I was the one who had the actual say on who can join


    and who couldn’t. The request rate had risen so high since our pack ranked second best.


    Rankings were announced annually, and the Chancellor along with his administration were the ones to


    decide who ced where. Usually it was poption size and fundings that majorly factored into the


    ranking system, but man power and international and local alliances were alsoponents.


    Grabbing the bottle and twisting the cap open, I lift it to my lips and downed the whole thing. Fresh,


    cool water quenching my thirst from the overheating of my body gave me a -moment of relief. It’s been


    two years since I’ve officially imed the Alpha title from


    Meredith. I underwent intense training to even be considered worthy of the title. Once I proved myself


    bypleting the courses, I changed myst name to Crestfield and took over as her adoptive


    daughter.


    Getting the documents to dere my severance from the Dixon family and the Nightwake


    and therefore not reliant on my blood family’s approval, but because it had to be kept under wraps. My


    identity was a secret we needed to keep.


    Normally to withdraw from a pack the wolf needed to gain permission from their current Alpha, but with


    my special circumstance and Meredith’s decision to adopt me as her daughter and heir, the Chancellor


    had been lenient.


    Supposedly there was a use somewhere that should a member who was on forced temporary pack


    transfer get hurt, or damaged in any way within the temporary pack they resided in.


    they’d have the right to leave their original pack without bringing it up to the Alpha for a formal parting.


    Forced pack transfers were usually for those who were known to be disruptive or possibly one of those


    in the rare instances which two wolves were dating and suddenly one found his or her mate and they


    break up. Bitterness was always a lead cause for disruption.


    epting the Alpha title from Meredith had been exhrating. The pride and power I felt from the


    ceremony had reinforced my determination to seed.


    It wasn’t, by any means, an easy transition.


    I had a handful of challengers trying to take the title from me because they initially saw me as an


    outsider. A threat. Someone who was from an enemy pack. They hated the thought of someone


    outside the pack rising as the new Alpha. Ignoring that I was personally handpicked by the current


    Alpha, herself. But of course, I met those challenges. I met them all and pounded into everyone whoOriginal from N?velDrama.Org.


    came witness to the fight that I was not to be taken lightly.


    No mercy, no remorse and absolutely no hesitation.


    Anyone who dared to take this from me wouldn’t be let off easy. I wasn’t going to let everything I


    worked so hard for go tumbling down because of it. Sighing as I crushed the stic bottle in my hand, I


    threw it at the trash and nodded at him. Noah gave me a curt bow before stepping aside to make room.


    Meredith came strolling in, a smile on her face with a small ck box in her hands. Standing gracefully


    tall with her hair slicked back and an elegant ck, knee length dress on, she rose a brow at me. Hazel


    eyes sparkled with amusement as she took in my tired, sweaty appearance.


    “Training so hard this early in the morning?”
