Alpha Alec's Redemption

It was lie, but I didn’t know what else to tell her. The two had bonded so fast, just like she had bonded with her aunt Rave and uncle King.

Just like she’d promised, Beth had found us after things had settled. No one knows how, and she refused to tell us. She stayed with us, but around mid-last year she left the pack, saying she had something important to do. She never came back and it’s been a year.

No one knows where she went or what happened. Efforts to find her have been futile. It’s like she just disappeared. We believe that she isn’t dead; we know the kind of power she holds, so I doubt she was dead.

That being said, she also never told us how she managed to fool everyone into believing that I was dead. She said that it was her secret to keep for now, because none of us were ready for the truth.

“You promise?” Aspen asked, pulling me back to the present.

“Yes, I promise,” I replied, kissing her plump cheek.

She burrows deeper into my arms while closing my eyes and inhaling my scent. This is something that we do when one of us is anxious, nervous, or just needs comfort. We inhale each other’s scent because it calms us.

“D a m n, we make a cute baby,” Aspen purred in my head, so proud of our pup.

She was right. I don’t think we are biased, but Aspen is just the cutest child I’ve ever seen. Her long, curled eyelashes and her green eyes sealed the deal completely.

A knock sounds on my door before the door opens to reveal Martha, my nanny.

“Hi Sadie, Kingsley asked me to come watch Aspen, as you are needed downstairs,” she said, walking towards.

I don’t know why she never calls him King, despite his insistence every time.

“Martha!” Aspen screamed upon hearing her voice.

Her eyes were now open and she was scrambling to get out of my hands. I let her go and she runs to Martha, her body colliding with hers.

“I missed you,” she whispered in an angelic voice.

Martha chuckles. “You just saw me a few minutes ago, baby girl… But I missed you too.”

Standing up, I smile. Aspen was a sweetheart, and you could tell just by how she’s adored by the whole pack. It warms my heart to see her so happy.

“I’ll leave you two,” I told them. “Let me see what King wants.”

I leave the room after saying goodbye to Aspen and head downstairs. I spot him and Raven standing near the entrance of the pack house.

“What’s up?” I asked.

“I got a call from the main gate that an Alpha has arrived, and he claims it’s urgent,” King answered.

I groaned. “So?”

“Since Mason isn’t here, we will have to deal with him.”

“Seriously, must I be there?” I grumbled, whining like a child.

“Yes, now come… I think I hear them,” Raven said, pulling me towards the door.

We get outside and I smell him before I see him. This is just f**g perfect. Alec was standing at the steps of the pack house.

“Sadie?” Micah called in a shocked whisper.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Everyone is frozen. I recognize some of the warriors and of course I recognize that f**g *d, **Jason. My group tenses behind me since they already knew Alec is.

Alec stares me in shock as I stand still, Nyx growling inside my head. The shock in his eyes quickly turns to hatred and anger. Pure fury radiated from him.

His eyes turning completely yellow is the only warning I get before he attacks. He wraps his hand around my neck, his nails digging into my skin.

“I don’t know how are alive and I don’t care,” his guttural, distorted voice growled. “But this time I’m going to finish the job right before I end this entire f**g pack for hiding and sheltering you.”

With that, his hands tighten around my neck, and I just know he’s about to rip out my throat.

He had not only threatened me, but also my pack and daughter. The fear and anger drive me, pulling something from deepest depths of my soul.

I start feeling something inside me shift. It reminded me of snake slowly uncoiling before it struck.

“It’s time,” Nyx said inside my head, right before something inside me snapped, coloring my nothing but pain.
