Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0067

My mind is trying to find out the reason behind his sudden shift. It must be something big. Something he has no control over. Something important enough to make him tolerate me as a mate. Well, that is until he gets what he wants.

The thing, though, is that I’m not the same gullible, naïve Sadie I was before. He’ll learn that soon enough. He can’t use me, and I won’t let him unless there is something I’m benefitting. He can’t intimidate me and use me. I am an Alpha, and he’ll play to my tune if he wants to get whatever it is he’s after.

“We can think of it later, right now, I want us to shift” Nyx says, her voice brimming with excitement. “It’s been such a long time since I shifted, and I am dying for a run.”

At first, I’m puzzled, but then I remember what she told me the previous night.

Turning to the other, I clear my throat to get their attention.

“As much fun as this has been, I’ve got **t to do” I begin. “I am kindly telling you to leave my office and pack.”

“I’m not leaving, Sadie… Not until we have settled things between us” he says through a clenched jaw.

“What is there to settle? You just have to accept the rejection, so we don’t have to see each other again.” I say with a shrug.

Given whatever reason he’s hiding/I know he won’t accept the rejection, but it feels so good to get a rise out of him.

“Not going to f**g happen” this time he growled, anger radiating off of him.

“Fine have it your way, but get out of my office… I need to speak to my officials without your unwanted presence contaminating the air I breathe.”

I watch him carefully. He was about to explode, but Micah grabs his hand and shakes his head. This seems to get through him, because he takes a deep breath and reigns in his anger.

Yeah, there is definitely something he wants from me, and he proved that after Micah reminded him to play nice.

After giving me a scathing look, Alec opens the door and storms out. Jason follows him out, and then Micah, after he gives me a respectful bow. Sometimes I wonder why Micah isn’t the Beta. He does more than Jason, knows how to handle things better and has more brain cells than him.

I know the position is handed down by the parents, but still, it’s clear that Micah is better suited for that position. Anyway, it isn’t my business.

“I must say that I did not see that coming,” Raven says as King crosses the room and closes the door after the trio.

“Me too,” King adds, coming to stand before my desk. “Question is, why did Alec refuse your rejection given his hate towards you?”

“We think it’s because he wants something from us.” I don’t need to tell them who ‘we’ is.

I then proceed to explain everything we’ve discussed with Nyx and our theory on why he doesn’t want the rejection.

“Yeah, that makes sense,” King states after I’m done.

I turn to Raven. “Did you get a reading out of him??Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She nods. “It was hard because he’s d**n good at keeping his emotions in check, but when you rejected him, his control slipped. I sensed panic and desperation from him. He managed to quickly conceal them, but I was able to get a small glimpse.”

So, I was right after all. For some reason, Alec was desperate and he needed me. The hard part will be figuring out what would make the almighty Alpha Alec desperate enough to want me as a mate.

I push those thoughts behind to the back of my mind and stand up. Nyx is pushing me to go outside.

“Where are you going, Sadie? We have a lot to do,” King calls behind me..

“I going to shift, Nyx is dying to go for a run” I reply, my mind a bit distracted.

“What do you mean by shift?” this comes from Raven. “I thought you already shifted” she says, referring to yesterday.

Sighing, I stop and face them. “According to Nyx, I have three forms. Today I’m shifting into a wolf, which is my third form.”

With that, I walk out, not really bothered if they follow behind or not. I could already feel the need to shift burning inside me.
