Alpha Alec's Redemption



"She doesn't deserve my respect. Not after what she allowed to happen," I tell her, all the while feeling her anger simmering to the surface.

She doesn't reply immediately. Instead, she closes her eyes for a second before opening them again. "One of these days you are going to regret all the shit you said about her."

I laugh at her words even though, for some reason, they send a shiver down my spine. She said them so surely. As if she knew and believed what she was saying. Her serious tone also doesn't help at all.

"Whatever," I mumbled, folding my elbows above my knees.

I sigh for the hundredth time, wondering why my life can't be easy and boring. I didn't ask for any of these, yet it was dropped in my lap. If it were up to me, I would have gone for a simple life, where my mate, children and I were happy. Things would have been simpler that way. I haven't had a moment of peace since whoever paid Calvin decided to stir shit up in my life.

"But we weren't meant to have a normal life, Sadie," Nyx murmurs, bringing my focus on her. I thought she had blocked me in her anger. "My life wasn't meant to be simple. It was written in stone, way before either of us came into existence."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"You can't change what's been written," she responds with a faraway look. "I've been around a long time, and I can tell you one thing, Sadie: we aren't normal wolves, and we weren't meant to have normal lives. It's time you accepted that and stopped complaining."

I hear her, and I hear what she's saying, but only one thing rings in my mind; I've been around a long time. I've always wanted confirmation, and there it was. Question is, how long has she been around?

"Care to expound on that?" I ask, leaning forward, eager to get as much information as I can.

"Exactly that...There isn't anything to explain.”noveldrama

"There is," I sigh at her stubbornness. "I was hoping you could give me a number instead of just saying that you've been around a long time."

She hums, her eyes closed and her head on her paws, but doesn't say anything. humph in frustration, my shoulders slumping in surrender.d know Ny Nyx, and I know that she wasn't going to give me anything beyond what she had told me.

Standing up, I give the place one last look before turning to leave. There wasn't any use dwelling on things I had no control over.

Trying to think of what Nyx is keeping from me will only drive me insane, so instead, I should just focus on the information I already have.

With that, I walk purposefully

towards the pack house as an idea

and I haven't been out in a while. Hell, I haven't spent quality time with Aspen since we arrived at this pack. I think we can take today off, even if it's for a few hours. I need it, and I am sure Raven needs it as well.

Our lives took a drastic turn the moment Ale stepped foot in our pack. I want to put all the blame on him, but can't because something tells me that Alec is just a puppet in whatever game this is, and whatever is happening is something that has been building up for a long time.
