The Female Alpha And Her God Of War
Elder Maera sat beside me and gently rubbed my hand between her palms, her thumb tracing slow circles over my knuckles.
“I am truly sorry, my dear,” she said again, her voice low and sincere. “We failed you today.”
I shook my head lightly, forcing a small smile. “It’s fine. I’m just glad the truth came out before things went further.”
She studied my face for a moment, as if searching for cracks beneath my composure. Then she sighed softly and continued;
“You should know that the Alpha did not remain silent because he doubted you. He is not a man easily intimidated, not by elders nor by tradition. But an Alpha must sometimes swallow words to protect his position.”
