Alpha Alec's Redemption



"Why would hybrids be following us?" Alec asks, his words coming through clenched teeth.

I totally get him because I am currently wondering the same thing. Why would two hybrids be tailing us? In my honest opinion, I don't think they are after Alec. Why would they be? He is simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“I don't know,” I mumble, “Maybe they found out that I have been hunting and killing their kind.”

I mean, it could be a possibility. Maybe they were finally trying to retaliate, given we've been showing no mercy to them. Damn it, does that mean that King and Raven could be in danger too?

Alec looks thoughtful for a second. "Maybe, but it still doesn't make sense. Why now? You've been hunting them for years. Why hunt you now?" "Maybe they want to talk?" I tell him stupidly. Don't judge me. I am nervous and in panic mode. People say stupid shit when they're panicking. Alec gives me a 'Seriously?' look, but I just ignore him.

I sneak a look through the rearview mirror and notice that they are gaining on us. Pressing my foot on the gas, I increase the speed of the car, trying to put some distance between us. It doesn't do much. Doesn't make much difference.

"They are gaining on us, Sadie," he tells me unhelpfully.

"I know that," I grit out. "I have eyes."

Stepping on the acceleration pad once again, I gain momentum, now going at a hundred kilometers per minute. My heart is racing given that I've never driven this fast before.

I never drove while I was here, mostly using taxis to go to town or hitching a ride with someone who was heading in the same direction. Once I started to drive, I drove at a safe speed given I always had Aspen aboard. This is new and scary at the same time.

I keep looking back at the black car and its occupant. It seems like no matter how fast I drive, they are only a distance away. Their eyes were burning at me even through the glass window. Those red orbs, glowing with nothing but sinister motive.

"You are gripping the steering too tightly," Alec comments in a hoarse voice. "That will make it hard to control the car."

I focus on driving and glare at him, but loosen my grip just a tiny bit. I hate to admit it, but he is right. Holding the wheel stiffly and tightly makes it difficult to control the car.

"First time?" he asks softly.

I give him a brief, confused look. "First time, doing what exactly, a car chase?"

"Yes?"

"Of course it is! And why are you asking? Have you ever been in one before?"

"Nope," he shrugs and pops the P. "But it is not once or twice I've driven like a maniac."

Knowing Alec, it's probably true.

I then focus on speeding and keeping the distance between the two cars. I am worried about what would happen. With the speed both cars were going at, it wouldn't be that long before human cops caught on.

We do have our own people in the police force, but not a lot. Like I said, we do our best to avoid humans. Getting involved with them, let alone working with them day in and day out, would only increase the

chances of us revealing our Secrets. There is no way you can work with them, and they fail to notice some odd things about you.

There are heightened senses and powers such as strength and speed. Removing that from the equations, werewolves have terrible tempers. Imagine if there was an altercation, between a human and a werewolf Can you imagine what would

take that as a challenge.

Werewolves rarely step down from a challenge, especially if they view the challenger as a weak component. The wolf will come out, and once he or she is out, it's hard to push them back in... So how will you explain why your eyes shone, why you growled like an animal, or why your teeth elongated?

Despite what movies portray, humans aren't stupid. You can't just brush it off with a simple 'Oh, you know, it must be the lighting'. They won't simply accept that kind of shit explanation.

I'm thrust forward in my seat when the other car bumps us from behind, which pulls me from my thoughts.

“Shit,” Alec hisses next to me, his eyes straying to look behind us. “Will you focus!"

While I'd been lost in my thoughts and worrying about human cops, they had gained on us.

I step on the gas, this time hard. The car lurches forward, pushing both Alec and me to the back of our seats. "That kind of speed will attract human cops," Alec tells me, which is something that I already knew.

"We don't have a choice."

The scenery blurred in a chaotic smear of colors as I again stepped on the gas, and we sped on the road.

Damn it, I should have taken the more used road. I was just so pissed off with Alec. I wanted to get to the pack as soon as possible so that I could be

rid of him. That's why I took this goddess' forsaken road. It is shorter than the one I used when leaving the pack.

My hands grip the wheel tightly as anxiety filled me with nervous energy. We could stop and fight, but we were still in human territory. The council had a rule about fighting or killing in human territories. Doing so had serious consequences. And besides, traffic CCTV cameras are a bitch. We can't risk being caught on

I shake my head in an attempt to bring my focus to the current problem. Just then, they hit us from behind, this time really hard. I'm caught off guard,

and the surprise and jolt make me temporarily lose my grip on the steering wheel.

They hit us once again, this time making me lose full control of the car. The car swerves and I try to grab the wheel, but it's too late.

"Sadie!" Alec bellows, his voice tinged with worry and fear.

The car skids uncontrollably as I fight to regain control. The tires, already struggling to grip the pavement at high speed, screamed in protest. Something, probably a stone, punctured the rubber with brutal efficiency, and the car jolted violently, lurching to one side as the wheels shredded.

My attempts to steer out of the impending disaster were futile. The car skids sideways, the rear end swinging out uncontrollably. In a moment of chaos, I see the world spin around me—a dizzying whirl of shattered glass and the horrific crunch of metal.

The car crashes with a thunderous impact, sending debris flying in all directions. The force of the collision is merciless, throwing both me and Alec against the safety belts as the airbags deployed. The engine sputtered and died, the once powerful roar now reduced to a haunting silence.
