Alec’s

Alec.

I punch one of my warriors hard, feeling a sick kind of satisfaction when I hear his nose break. He

groans, but that doesn’t deter me. I land another blow and another until he’s on the floor.

“Get up, Brady,” I commanded, but he didn’t.

I know that I’m pushing him, but he’s one of my best warriors, and he should be able to f*g k*eep

up with me.

It p**s me off when he doesn’t get up. I was on edge, and so was Knox. Every small thing set us off, and we were both dying for a fight. It’s too f**g bad that no one I know is a worthy opponent.

“I told you to **g get up!” I roared, releasing my alpha command.

His back straightens, and he struggles to get up, trying his best to obey his alpha. I know deep down

that I wasn’t thinking straight, but losing your mate can do that to you.

“If you continue like this, you’re going to lose the people around you, including your warriors.” Piper’s soft voice came from behind me. “You’re becoming unbearable to be around.”

This is another thing that bothers me. I used to always be on high alert. Nothing escaped my senses, yet my sister was able to get past my defenses and approach me from behind without me realizing it. That could have been dangerous during war.

I nodded to another warrior, and he rushed to me. “Take him to the infirmary.”

He bowed and helped Brady up.

“Leave!” I command the rest, and they all scramble to leave the training grounds. Once they’re gone, I

turn to my sister.

She’s the only other woman who owns my heart. My mother was the first, then Piper when she was

born, and lastly Lola.

In high school, girls were always

That didn’t stop when I grew older. Women were there to satisfy my desires. I’didn’t care for them, and when I got bored, I discarded them. Lola came into my life and changed things.

If I were being honest, I hadn’t planned to fall in love with her. To me, my mate was a means to an end. She was always meant to be the instrument that would break the curse on my pack. Lola had broken my defenses in ways I never thought possible. I didn’t even realize I was falling until it happened.

Tue. 9.

That’s why I’ll always hate Sadie. She took something precious from me, and I was willing to pay back a favor. Her life will soon reach an end, and I’ll finally be avenged.

“Alec, what’s going on?” Piper asks, pulling me back to the present. “You’re losing control. You’re becoming unstable, and you know how dangerous that is. You know what’s at stake; the pack needs you. You need to pull yourself back together.”

I completely understand what she’s saying. And she’s completely right, but I can’t seem to pull myself back from drowning in my sorrow and pain.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

How do I f**g explain to her that since Lola rejected me, I feel like half my soul has been ripped away? How do I tell her that I feel like there is a hole where my heart and soul were meant to be?

Being rejected meant that I’d live with this pain until either I choose another or the moon goddess grants me a second chance mate, which is rare. Getting a second chance mate is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“I know, I’ll try; it’s just that Knox and I are still hurting.” I replied after some time.

My sister stares at me with sympathy, but underneath all that, I see her sorrow too. Not only because of what happened to me, but also because of losing her best friend.

“Come here, Pip.” I opened my arms, and she immediately fell into them. She tries to fight it, but she soon loses her battle when she starts silently sobbing.

“I know she’s betrayed us, but I still miss her. I still love her like a sister, Alec. She’s been my best friend since we were in diapers and I thought it would always be like that, but then she betrayed you and because of her betrayal, you’re now hurting.”

Her cries break my already broken heart. I would do anything for her, but this is the only thing I can’t fix. I can’t fix the fact that Sadie’s obsession with me ruined mine and Lola’s future.

“It’s going to be okay, Buttercup,” I told her, using the nickname I gave her when we were younger. “I promise we’ll be fine. We’re f**g strong, children of an alpha pair. We will f*g g**et through this. You’ll see”

She lifts her head from my chest and looks at me. I knew that she was looking for reassurance, so I gave her a little smile.

Wiping her tears from her cheek, I leaned my head against hers and closed my eyes.

“We’re going to be just fine,” I repeated strongly, not really sure who I was trying to convince.

She nods her head before pulling away and leaning her head against my shoulder. We are both quiet,

both of us lost in our heads.

I had so much going on. No one has yet to hear a word or see Sadie, and it’s been a couple of days. Thinking of her just makes my anger grow to dangerous heights. As for her accomplice, we’ve yet to locate the f**r.

I wanted to hear it from his mouth. I wanted him to confirm that it was Sadie that drugged me, but the bastard seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. No worries; I was going to find both of them and make them pay.

It’s only after I get revenge that I’ll be able to focus on the issues with my pack. It’s only after they’re both dead will I find peace.

“What about the baby she mentioned?” Knox asks, popping into my head.

“Do you believe her?”

“No. Besides, we both know we would have smelt our pup,” he answered lazily.

He was right. Alphas are able to smell their own pup even before the baby is born. We smelled nothing, meaning that Sadie was lying. Sadie wasn’t even pregnant, because if she were, her scent would have changed whether the baby was mine or not.

I was just about to pull Piper up so we could leave when the door burst open and Micah walked in. He had a look I couldn’t describe on his face.

“What is it?” I asked, standing up.

“Sadie’s body has been found,” he answered, making Piper gasp.

I smiled for the first time in months. Finally, the **h is dead.
