Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0074

None of my strategies are going to help me with Sadie. None of my training prepared me for this cluster fuck.

“But have you guys felt it? It’s been there since we got here,” Micah asks, as his eyes shifted from me to Jason.

“You’ll have to be more specific, Micah. I’ve felt a lot of shit since we got here,” I grumble, feeling irritated and on edge. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

On top of that list was anger and bitterness. So yeah, he had to be a bit more specific.

“I’m talking about the power drumming through my veins” he answers, his eyes conveying excitement. “It’s like my cells have been renewed. I feel better than I have felt in years. It almost feels like I’ve been revived… it’s weird, but that’s the only explanation I can give.”

We all fall quiet. With everything that has happened, I didn’t notice a damn thing… But now that Micah said it, I feel what he was talking about. There was a change. A kind of energy that wasn’t there before. Despite my healing wounds, I could still feel it.

You know how you wake up feeling refreshed after getting a goodnight's sleep? That’s how it felt. Micah is right, it feels like I’ve been renewed.

“Well, if we needed more proof that Sadie is indeed your true mate, then here it fucking is” Jason whispers, his voice tinged with amazement. I guess he felt the same thing I did.

“Aren’t you glad that fate worked against you and Sadie is alive? Imagine the shit we would be in if you had killed her?” Micah said sarcastically, his eyes glaring daggers at me.

“Fuck you! Micah,” I growl, firing back.

No matter how much I wanted to deny it, I couldn’t. He is right. Just like always, the fucker is right. I would have fucked my pack over if I had killed Sadie. We would have spent years searching for my true mate without realizing that I’d killed her. My anger and bitterness would have doomed us. In the end, our pack would have faded from the wheels of time. We would have either died from weakness or an attack from enemy packs. Either way, we would have been dead.

Running a hand down my face, I let out a breath of air. This was so messed up in so many ways. I was angry when I realized that Sadie was alive and that she had fooled me. I wanted so badly to kill her, and I would have if she hadn't beaten the shit out of me… And boy am I fucking glad that she stopped me.

“The goddess really does work in mysterious ways,” Jason commented.

My phone ringing, cuts through the silence that descends on the room. Crossing the room, I pick it up before swiping on the screen to accept the call.

“Alec!” Piper’s scream makes me wince. “Are you okay. Word spread that you attacked the alpha of Hope pack. Did he provoke you? Are you hurt?”

She fired the questions one after another, not even giving me the chance to answer.

“A few bruises, but I am okay,” I finally answer after she shuts up.

“That’s not good enough… my mate and I will come tomorrow.”

“There’s no need for that, Buttercup.”

It’s like I haven’t even spoken a word.

“No one hurts my brother and gets away with it… me and that alpha are going to have words. He shouldn’t have attacked you!” she snarled in anger before she cut the call.

I smile at the thought of her defending me. Piper can be a bit extra. She knows I don’t really need defending, but she’s pissed right now and there is no calming her down.

My smile slips as soon as the warm fuzzy feelings fade and reality hits me. Fuck. Piper had no idea that the alpha she was coming to confront wasn’t a 'he' but a 'she'. She also has no fucking idea that said alpha is her former best friend, who is very much alive.
