Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0126Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sadie.

*Even if we were to try and find this woman, I'm not sure where we would even start," Martin says, voicing exactly what I was thinking.

This woman, whoever she is, went to great lengths to hide her identity. She didn't want to be found. She didn't want to be known... And with the kind of power Calvin said she possessed, it would be easy for her to hide herself.

"But we have to try, right? There is a reason she wanted to destroy Sadie and Alec's bond before it even started. We need to know what that reason is," Micah pipes in, his finger tapping his chin thoughtfully.

"Which again, brings me back to what I asked. Where does Lola fit in all this?" I question again, refusing to let the matter.

There is just something that wasn't adding up. Something that we were all missing. I couldn't quite put my finger

on it, but it was there.

Once again, Alec tenses at the mention of Lola's name.

"Don't bring Lola into this," Alec hisses through gritted teeth.

His jaw is locked, and his hands are fisted on his desk. It's like he was trying to stop himself from reacting.

For some reason, I wanted to push him. To push his buttons when it came to Lola. The woman he fell in love with. The woman he destroyed me for.

"And why is that, Alec?" I mock, my eyes staring directly into his. "Given everything that happened, she is a person of interest."

His eyes flash, and I can't help but wonder. Could he still be in love with her? And if he is, why is he putting on airs about me being his mate? But then again, he does need me to save his pathetic pack. This is the one thing his dear first mate can't do for him.

I don't think I'll ever stop thinking of Lola as his first mate. With the way they were back then, it was obvious to see that he loved her. That he had a soft spot for. The moment Lola came into his life, Alec stopped his whorish ways. He became almost domesticated. Lola had him wrapped around her little finger. I've never seen Alec so pouty in a woman's hands before.

"She is not." His reply pulls me back to the present.

"She is," I snap back. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

Was his love for her stopping him from seeing that Lola might just be involved in this?

"I doubt she is," his words were firm, as if he actually did believe what he was saying.

I was starting to get pissed... and not because he might still love her, but because he's defending her while all the evidence points to the fact that she might be guilty.

"Sadie is right, Alec," Micah always the voice of reason, cuts in.

I throw my hands up, grateful someone was on my side. "Thank you!"

*You never really like Lola, Micah," Alec glares at him, but it doesn't shake Micah.

"Yes," he begins. "But think about it. The prophecy said that some would want to destroy your bond. What if this veiled woman isn't the only player in this game? We all know once you marked Lola, your bond with Sadie would have been completely destroyed. Neither of you would have sensed each other as mates even when Sadie got her wolf."

Micah had the attention of everyone, as we all keenly listened to him.

*There are two ways to look at this. Either Lola was in on this and knew the whole time what was going on, or she was clueless and someone used her. Either way, the true goal was to destroy your bond with Sadie. It could be that the veiled woman was working alone and there were two different players who wanted the same thing, or it could be that they were working together and that Calvin drugging you two was plan B. A way to make sure that you two didn't get together. What better way to do that than to make you two hate each other?"
