Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0059

Micah's eyes didn't leave Jason. "I don't know, maybe because I wasn't an asshole to Sadie? Or maybe it's because, unlike the rest of you, I didn't partake in torturing the living daylights out of her."

I study him. Really study him. Sure, he never laid a hand on her, but something told me that it was more than that. Yes, that could be one of the reasons, but I get this feeling that he is hiding something. That he wasn't telling the whole truth.

*Cut the crap, Micah. We both know that can't be the only reason", Jason snarled at him, sensing the same thing did.

"Well, that's the only reason I'm willing to share he retorted through gritted teeth. "Now, are you going to sit in that damn cell and continue interrogating me or should we focus on other important things, like, I don't know, getting you and everyone the fuck out?"

He was right. There were more important things to do. I needed first to get out of here, then I could deal with Sadie and the insolent Alpha of this damned pack.

"Have you talked to the Alpha?" I asked, pushing my rage down.

*Not yet, but I heard he'll be in today, so I'm waiting for him to come in, then I can explain that there has been a misunderstanding and that you didn't mean to attack one of his members" Micah replied calmly, all traces of irritation gone.

Scoffing, I push myself up. "I very well-meant to attack his pack member. In fact, I meant to kill her."

"Can you just stop?" Micah sighed. "Saying that won't help your case. You were wrong here; you know very well you aren't supposed to attack another Alpha's pack member without provocation and we all know that Sadie didn't provoke you."

"Yes, she did. The fact that she's alive is provoking enough."

"I don't get your hate for her. Sadie isn't a bad person.... I don't get how you could treat her so horribly."

Was he fucking kidding me right now? Because I swear if he wasn't, he's going to see the end of my fists once get out of this fucking cell.

Jason scoffs in the other cell.

*Really? She isn't a bad person. Do you want me to count her wrong doing? How about we start with drugging an Alpha, then taking advantage of him? If the roles were switched, I would have been called a rapist. Then let's get to how she escaped her punishment by escaping. Then, she had the audacity to lie to me that she was fucking pregnant and, on top of that, she faked her own death... Do those things seem like good behavior to you?"

Sadie was a conniving, lying, slut. No one can change that opinion of her.

*There has to be an explanation and, besides, I don't believe she drugged you," he shrugged.NôvelDrama.Org content.

I launch myself at him, colliding with the cell bars. He moves away before I can get my hands on him. The audacity he had to defend her when he knew how much she put me through.

"Listen, Alec, I know you're angry."

*Shut the fuck-up Micah!" I yelled, balling my hands into painful fists. "The only reason she's alive is because of whatever powers she now has, otherwise I would have ripped out her fucking throat and danced on her fucking corpse!"

He stays quiet, his lips pressed in a thin line. His eyes, though, were flashing.

"What is she, by the way... Her aura and powers - they were something else" Jason said after a while.

"I don't know." I replied, backing away from the bars. "I doubt anyone does."

Whatever she is, is something I'm having a hard time thinking about. In fact, I don't want to fucking think about it at all. I want those thoughts buried deep inside where they'll never see the light of day.

*I'll leave... It's nine in the morning, and I'm sure the Alpha will be in his office at any moment. I'll see what I can do to get you out of here."

Without sparing us another look, he leaves, I can feel the tension radiating from him and I don't care. Sadie wasn't a good person and the fact that one of my best friends was defending her just pushes me to the edge.

He opens the door and I freeze when a scent hits my nose.

*Do you smell that?" Knox asked, his eyes shining with excitement.

It's gone before I can wrap my head around the beautiful and sweet smell, but it's clear as day.

"Yes" I replied, slowly.

Knox says the word that we've been fearing since we learned that we could save our pack if we could find her.

"Mate"

Hope starts rising within us. Seems like not all is lost, and my pack's salvation is in here after all.
