Alpha Alec's Redemption

I stand in the middle of the room assigned to me, not really sure what I should do. Should I sleep a little longer? Should I go to the library and try to find answers? Should I practice my powers?

I sigh for the hundredth time, undecided about what to do. Just when I am thinking of going back to sleep, my phone rings.

I walk to the bed where I'd left it and grab it. Seeing King's name flashing, I swipe on the green button and answer it.

Unlike what most werewolf novels claim, Mind-link doesn't work long distance. You have to be in a certain radius or range for it to work.

King is such a great man. Sometimes I wonder why he hasn't yet found his mate. He would make a perfect mate, husband and father. He was tough, but sweet and caring at the same time.

I also always wonder why the goddess didn't make him my mate. It's not that there is anything going on between us. I wouldn't cross that line knowing that he has a mate out there.

I was so in love with Alec that I failed to see what a cold bastard he was. Well, unless it came to Piper or Lola. The rest of the time, I barely felt any warmth from him. I was too stupid to realize that with his coldness and arrogance, he wouldn't make a good mate for me.

Sometimes I think I manifested this situation for myself. You know when you want something so bad that you manifest it? That's what I think happened with Alec. That's how he ended up being my mate. Knowing what I know now, though, I wish I could reverse it and have someone as my mate.

"Why aren't you searching for your mate?" I ask King, instead of a greeting.

I flop down on the bed, my shoulders slumping as I wait for his response.

"Hello to you too," he replies sarcastically.

"Seriously though, King. You should be actively searching for your other half. Why aren't you?"

I hear movements in the background

before he answers. "Because INôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

believe in the goddess's timing. When it's the right time, everything will fall into place, and I'll find her. Until then, though, I will keep waiting and working on myself to be a great mate for her."

You see what mean? He's dreamy. The kind of mate any girl would like to have. It also helps that King is really good-looking. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a crush on him

or anything like that. I view him as a brother, but I am just saying.

"I still think you should look for her. Life is short. You never know," I tell him, feeling a bit melancholy thinking about the dream I had.

Man, I was a moody bitch. One minute I am okay, and the next I feel like the world is ending.

He pauses before asking, his voice sounding concerned, "Is something wrong?"

"No," I jump in and answer quickly. I don't want him to get worried.

"Sadie," he growls softly, his tone voicing concern.

“I promise I am okay. I just feel a bit worn out with everything that's going on,” I say, trying to make an excuse for my earlier behavior. "What is going on exactly?"

I tell him everything that has

happened and has been discovered since we got here. Well, except for my new power. I need to come to terms with the fact I can

communicate with anyone before I teffothers about it.

He listens tentatively, like he always does. He doesn't interrupt, waiting for me to finish before he can say anything.

"That's a lot to unpack," he begins, sounding a bit stunned.

He is right, though. It's a lot to unpack, and we haven't even been here for a full week. Just thinking about it makes me feel like my head is about to explode. Like my mind can't take anymore.
