Alpha Alec's Redemption

Alec doesn't say anything. This is what I was afraid of. Mrs. Walter always said that when she met Alec, she would give him a piece of her mind and let him know just how his behavior towards me was despicable.

The stubborn tilt of her lips lets me know she's about to reveal more of my secrets.

"That's enough, Mrs. Walter," I tell her softly. "It no longer matters."

"Of course it does. He hurt you."

"It doesn't. I've moved past it and moved on." Of course, it's a total lie, but they don't need to know that.

"But..."

"Please," I beg her with my eyes.

She must have seen something in them because she shuts her mouth and huffs in annoyance. "Fine"

I stand up and pull out some cash. "I need to leave, but I'll be coming to visit for as long as I am around. Next time I'll come with someone special. Someone you'd love to meet."

Her eyes twinkle in excitement as she nods her head. After giving her a kiss on the cheek, I leave without another word to Alec.

I get to Micah's car, just as I feel his presence behind me. I go to open the door, but he slams it shut, his hand against the window.

“What was that all about?” he asks, his voice sending shivers down my spine.

With his body so near me, the bond comes alive as his body heat envelops me.

"Can you step back?" I snap, needing him to get as far away from me as possible.

"Not until you answer my damn question," he snaps back. "And since when were you friends with a human?"

"It's none of your business; now step the fuck back!" I clench my hands into fists, trying everything I can to push down my irritation and annoyance. "I'm not letting you go until you answer me."

"I'm warning you," I growl, feeling my powers rush to the surface.

"Warn away. Remember we are in human territory; do you really want to expose our world?"

I stand stock still at his words. They sober me. I can't lose control. The consequence of exposing our world is death.

After taking a deep calming breath, I turn and push him. He wasn't expecting my movement, so he stumbles away from me.

I use that chance to unlock the door. I climb in, in a hurry to get away from him. I turn the ignition on, but before I can pull out of the parking lot, the passenger door opens and he gets in.

"Get out!" I spit, seething at his mere presence.

“Not gonna happen, Sadie," he shuts the door and turns to me.

"Get out, Alec!"

"Either you drive or we stay here. Either way, I am not leaving, so you decide."

I weigh my options. The stubborn tilt of his clenched jaw lets me know that he is dead serious. I

I slam the door angrily and pull out of the parking lot. My heart is racing, and my jaw is clenched. My hands grip the steering wheel tightly, using it as an anchor so that I don't punch Alec imagine it's his neck instead of the steering wheel.

I don't know how long we've been driving when he breaks the silence.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"So, what was the old woman talking about?" he asks again, seemingly obsessed with that particular topic.

I refuse to answer, ignoring his

stupid ass question. Please. He

have the right to ask me that

destion.

I roll my eyes when he grumbles next to me. It's then that my eyes catch something in the rear view mirror.

"I asked you a question, Sadie. I want a damn answer," he demands, as if he has all the rights in the world. "Will you shut up?" I snap in a taut, angry voice.

My eyes once again move back to the mirror, and I notice them gaining speed on us.

"Don't tell me what to do!" he retorts coldly.

The back and forth wasn't helping anyone.

I start fidgeting as my eyes keep shifting from the rearview mirror then back to the road.

"What is it?" he asks. "You are nervous."

He has probably noticed my weird behavior.

"See the car behind us?" I ask him. He nods. "It's been following us for a while."

He then uses the mirror on his side to look behind us.

"Notice something weird about the man driving and the one on the driver's seat?"

"They have red eyes." His voice has a hint of surprise and confusion.

"Yes," I agreed. "Hybrids."
