Chapter 73


    Chapter 73


    I already began to feel the satisfaction of proving them wrong. Weston too, was feeling smug. It was all


    until I heard Selene sigh beside me that I realized what was happening. Her focus returned to the door


    again and before I could control myself, I spoke.


    “Alpha Crestfield.”


    Just the idea of talking to her was messing up my nerves. I knew if I didn’te up with a good reason


    to convince her to stay, she would leave.


    She’d leave and I wouldn’t be able to see her again.


    My wolf whimpered at the thought.


    Don’t go.


    I want to tell her, but I have no reason to. Everything inside me screams for me to tell her not to go. It


    begs me to convince her to stay, to allow me the privilege of being in her presence. And now, with her


    gaze locked with mine, I’m feeling that need to keep her by my side much more.


    “I’d like to ask you to apany us.”


    I say, in almost a whisper.


    She looked around, obviously confused.


    “For reassurance as a liable witness.”


    Even to me, it sounded like bul lshit. But I guess it was hard to detect to the others because she merely


    stood there contemting.


    “You wouldn’t mind, would you?”


    I probe. Her Beta, who I now noticed standing behind her, looked between Selene and I in obvious


    confusion. He definitely feels the tension between us but couldn’t make sense of it. Just like Weston


    who was still trying to figure it out. Finally, after a few moments of silence, Selene just shakes her head


    with the purse of her lips.


    “No, I suppose I could go.”


    I can’t begin to exin the tremendous amount of relief I felt after hearing her say that. Knowing I still


    had some time left with her before she eventually leaves. My wolf panted out, tail still wagging high and


    low.


    No one wasted time in getting into their own vehicles when going to the Moon Goddess’ Sacred Pool.


    The entire ride there I felt Weston’s persistent gaze on me. I knew he had questions but I didn’t have


    the answers to them. At least, that’s what I think.


    How the hell was I supposed to exin my desire for her presence.


    It would sound like an obsession. An infatuation I surely didn’t have!


    I was just… intrigued.


    I scoffed silently to myself.


    Liar.


    When we arrived at the pool, the tension that was created in the office returned.


    “The entrance is that way.”


    Beta Dixon said, looking directly at me. Part of me thinks he’s waiting for me to back out. Like he


    figured I was going to pull back on my agreement because I was guilty of the ims him and his


    daughter were pinning on me. I had to admit, the guy had balls. He was really out here, threatening me


    with his wolf, when he knew I could easily snap his neck like a twig.


    He was admirable, but st upid.


    His mate stood by his side, running her hands down his arms in attempt tofort him. I momentarily


    felt a tinge of jealousy in my veins.


    A mate, huh?


    Washing away that green fiend, I look over to Weston and mind-link him to tell our warriors to stay put.


    “Stay here, the Alpha demands privacy among all those involved.”


    It wasn’t a surprise to see the other Alpha’s do the same. Only those involved were included in. Me,


    Weston, Selene, her Beta, Walker, Dixon, Hestia and her mother. Her mother has been silent the whole


    time since seeing her. I hadn’t noticed she was even in the office until we all filed out and I caught


    glimpse of her ushering Hestia out.


    We all entered the cave. The silence of it all didn’t help calm the tension. If anything, it added fuel to


    everyone’s temper. My wolf who was strangely excited, stayed quiet in the depths of my mind. When


    we got to the deeper parts of the cave, we were all weed with the Moon Goddess’ shrine. The


    Sacred pooly in front of us, untouched by human hands. The Moon Goddess’ stone sculpture with


    her arms stretched out gave me a sense of serenity but at the same time, vexed.


    “Well, there’s no need to prolong this. Hestia, go on.”


    Beta Dixon says gruffly, gesturing to the pool with the nudge of his head. His pride was getting in the


    way of his reason. Anyone who wasn’t so blinded by their pride and unconditional trust for the lying


    she-wolf would see the guilty face Hestia was making. He was just so intent on proving me wrong and


    proving his daughter right, to actually see the obvious lies his daughter was spewing.


    Then again, I wouldn’t fully understand how he feels.


    I had no daughter or son to unconditionally trust.


    I felt Hestia’s wary gaze burn into my back, but I paid her no mind. I instead, brokenly walked by her


    and to the pool. Stopping at the front where the pool starts, I take out my pocket knife and slice my


    palm open. Squeezing my fist, I watched my blood bleed into the clear water until it dispersed.


    completely. I couldn’t resist the urge to look at Selene again.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
