Alec’s

My hands were fisted. My jaw tight. I was literally shaking. I was f**g p**d. So f**g p**d that I thought! would burst at any moment.

“What the hell is happening?” I could hear King’s voice asking, but it sounded so far away.

Couldn’t control i anger and bitterness as my mind took me back to the days after I ended up sleeping with Alec. All I could see was Piper turning her back on.

All I could feel was the shattering of my heart and our friendship when she believed that I would drug her brother. That my crush had turned into an obsession and in that, I’d crossed the line by taking advantage of him. Funny

how I’m now his second f**g mate. Bet none of those idiots saw that coming!

I try to control my anger, but it’s no use. Every pore of my body screamed. Something inside me was building, and i-

felt like it was about to explode out of me.

I could believe how Alec thought that I was a scheming woman. He didn’t know me that well except as his little sister’s best friend. Piper’s betray however hurt the most. She knew me. We’d been friends since we were little girls. How could she think so little of me? That I would betray her and her brother?

If the whole situation was flipped, I would have believed her. I would have looked for every possible scenario, every single angle. I would have gone above and beyond to prove that’s she’s innocent because I knew her. I knew her heart and the kind of woman she was. Yet she turned on me the first chance she got, believing what was said just like everyone else.

“Sadie!” Someone screamed. “Snap out of it”

I could hear the fear in whoever it is that was calling, but I didn’t understand. All I could see was red. All I could feel was anger and betrayal. All I wanted was to destroy. My heart constricted as the memories played over and over in my head.

The only time Piper came to visit me in the dungeons was to ask why I’d caused her brother so much pain. Why I’d cost him his mate. The bitterness and hatred in her eyes while I was innocent, seared my already fragile soul. The last thing she told was to confess instead of dragging it out.

Whatever was building inside me was f**g intense. I couldn’t breathe, and my throat was clogged with emotions. I could feel the release starting to happen. I could feel as it started pouring out of me.

Nyx anger was combined with mine. I don’t know whether mine was feeding her or it was the vice versa. All I know is that we were one in our fury.

Someone shakes me. Fully body, aggressive kind of shake. Nothing happens, and seconds later I feel a hot sting to my cheek. My head swings to the side and I blink rapidly at the unexpected hit. My vision clears, and I snap out of

whatever it is that had a hold on me.

“What the hell?” My head swings back, and I snap at whoever it is that had slapped me.

It was Raven.

My eyes narrow and I glare at her. “What the hell was that for?”

Her breathing came in fast and hard. Her eyes were wide and mouth agape. It takes me a second to realize that she was scared. Fear was etched in her eyes.

“You were losing control!” she screamed. “I didn’t know what else to do.”

“What are you talking?” I was so confused. I was p**d, but that was it.

King steps forward. Fear and uncertainty lingering in his gaze. “Your eyes started glowing white and then it’s like you went into a trance. Your wings came out and seconds later, the ground begun shaking. It was like we were having an earthquake.”

“We couldn’t get to you or Nyx.” Raven, who isn’t normally shaken, whispers. “I didn’t know what else to do since King didn’t want to be the one to hit you.”

It’s then I feel the heaviness on my back. I slightly turn around and see my white wings. Closing my eyes, imagine them gone and seconds later they disappear. My legs weaken realizing that my emotions caused a f**g earthquake and I collapse on my chair.

Closing my eyes, I bury my face in my hands. What the hell was happening? How could I lose control like that?

“We need to start training as soon as possible” Nyx says, pacing in my mind. “I didn’t realize that our power would be much stronger this time.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

She whispered the last part, more to herself than me. I don’t think I was meant to hear that, but I did, and it has just raised more questions. What does she mean by ‘this time’?

She shakes herself seemingly to get herself together. “You’re already great at hand-to-hand combat. I can fight extremely well in wolf form, so that’s no worry. What’s left is to train with our powers. I need to teach you how to use and control them.”

I don’t say anything, but I agree. If I could cause an earthquake while lost in my anger and bitterness, what else could I do when I lost control?

“Sadie?” Raven’s voice pulls me from my thoughts. “What happened? Why did you lose control?”

I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down and push down my rage. The last thing I needed was to be consumed again.

“One of the guards at the gates informed me that Piper was here” I finally say after a while. Even her name tasted bitter in my mouth..

“Piper? Alec’s sister?” she asks, surprise replacing the fear that was there a few minutes ago.

“The one and the same” I reply, feeling exhausted all of a sudden. “Hearing she was here just brough a lot of painful memories. The way she betrayed and turned her back on me, combined with all the s**t Alec and the rest put me through, just consumed me and I was lost in all the pain, bitterness and hatred I felt for them.”

Sighing, I stand up again. I was now restless despite feeling exhausted just moments before. I wanted, no, needed a release, but first I had to deal with Alec and his pack. I didn’t want any more of them just showing up here.

“Are you ready to face her?” give it to King to hit the nail straight to the head.

“I’m not sure, but it doesn’t matter. Alec showing up here made sure that my time in hiding was over.” I mumble staring outside the window.

I suck in a deep breath and then turn to face Raven and King. “Come on, let’s go and welcome our guest. Hopefully, she’s not here to stay. I’d hate to accidentally hurt her.”

That idea didn’t sound too bad. I’d probably enjoy it just like I enjoyed beating the s**t out of her brother.

I walk past my friends and open the door before leaving. I head straight to the living room, ignoring the broken vases, pictures and art frames. They must have fallen due to the ground shaking.

It doesn’t take long to find her. Her smell leads me straight to her. She was standing with Alec and was hugging him. Micah and Jason were nowhere to be seen.

“I found my mate” she tells her brother in excitement when they break apart. “He’s just getting out luggage so you’ll meet him in a few.”

I stomp inside the room before stopping a few pages from the duo.

“What is she doing in my pack?” I all but yell, feeling the familiar burning of my anger.

Piper turns sharply at my voice, and stumbles in shock at seeing me. She hadn’t changed much in three years. The only different thing was that her hair was longer, now reaching midback.

“S-Sadie? You’re not dead?” she asks through deep breathes, her hands pressing down on her chest, looking like she’s seen a ghost.

I sneer at her. “Sorry to disappoint, but your brother never got the job done. Now I asked a question, what are you doing in my pack? As if it isn’t bad enough that Alec and his merry band of tortures is here and have refused to leave, now I have to deal with you too?”

“Sadie” Alec growls, shooting daggers at me.

He comes to stand in front of her, in a move to protect her. He probably remembers how I reacted when I first saw him and he’s afraid I’ll hurt his baby sister.

“Shut up” I growl back. “I want you and your pack to leave. Take your sister with you. I don’t want any of you near

me or my pack.”

He opens his mouth about to say something when the door opens.

“What did you carry in this thing, Babe? It weighs a f**g ton” a gruff voice says, walking in.

Both Alec and I turn at the same time. Everything disappears when my eyes land on the man.

“You!”
