Alpha Alec's Redemption

He pauses, then continues, “My father never mentioned the secret room again, and I forgot about it. That was until I had this dream where he was telling me to check the secret room he’d told me about. At first, I wanted to ignore the dream, but the feeling of checking it out just kept nagging me until i finally relented. We’ve never really seen the prophecy about your mate; we just heard it passed down from one person to another. It got me curious, and I wondered if perhaps the prophecy was locked. away down there.

I had no idea what I was looking for. My father had never really given me its specific location. I also didn’t want to say anything if it turned out to be a dead end. I almost gave up after four days of searching and still finding nothing, but the goddess was with me. I managed to find it a couple of hours ago.

He walked to me and handed me a book, pointing to a specific page. I want to run away from it, but I can’t. If this is what will save my pack, then I need to push my feelings aside.

Taking the book, I stared at the passage he pointed at.

[She is strong and powerful. An Alpha Female and her powers, when awakened, will shake the foundations of the world. Because she is the blessed one, their union will be blessed, and their offspring will rule both the heavens and the earth. Only she will be able to undo the curse; only she will be able to destroy the evil. In her presence, the pack will recover and flourish, becoming the most powerful pack the world has ever seen. So many will want to use her, to destroy and suppress her, but she will prevail. Many will want to destroy their bond, so beware of impostors, for the blessed one will be known by a white crescent moon mark on her left ear.]

My breathing is heavy as I read the text over and over again. This can’t be. This simply can’t f**g be.

“Alec,” Jason’s voice cut through my thoughts. “We need to know if Lola had the markings, because if she didn’t…”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

He doesn’t finish the sentence. He leaves it hanging, but I know what he was about to say. If she didn’t have the marking, then it meant she wasn’t my true mate.

“No, she didn’t,” I growled, replacing the pain in my heart.

I doubted it before, but after reading the entry, I knew she didn’t. Lola has a black wolf; I wouldn’t have been able to miss a white mark on her fur had she had the crescent moon, given the mark is supposed to be white.

“But it doesn’t make any f**g sense.” I started pacing, feeling more on edge than before. “If she wasn’t my destined mate, how the f**k did I feel a bond with her when we met? How come I felt it when it broke after she rejected me?”

No one answered. I bet they were just as confused as I was. This whole thing was a damn mess, and it has just brought more confusion and a few answers.

“I don’t know,” Micah answered after a while. “But the book did warn about impostors. It looks like Lola was an impostor, and you now need to find your true mate.”

He was right, but I didn’t want to hear it. My heart was screaming against the idea. Sure, she wasn’t my mate, according to the text, but can I really trust a book that has been hidden for years?

I trusted my gut, and my gut told me that there was something more. She may not be my mate, but heart knows her and I know she wouldn’t have done this. She wouldn’t have deceived me.

Someone must have manipulated things. The question is, who?
