Alpha Alec's Redemption



"Maybe we can teleport to our room?" Nyx suggests her anxiety feeding into mine.

"A good idea," I begin. "But what brought that on?"

"Knox is trying to reach out. It's pissing me off because he won't stop trying to knock my barriers down."

I should have been surprised, but I wasn't. Knox and Alec are Alphas. They are used to getting what they want. This time, though, it won't happen. The love I had for them died in the torture room three years ago, along with my heart.

I closed my eyes about to escape, like the coward I am, but my concentration is interrupted by the sound of the door opening.

"Hello Luna," the cheery voice of a male doctor greets me.

I grit my teeth against the unwanted title. "I'm not your Luna."

He looks between me and Alec in confusion. "I thought you were our Alpha's true mate. He said so."

"I am not."NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"B-but"

“Doctor Jacobs, can you give us the diagnosis?" Alec asks through clenched teeth, his eyes sharp on mine.

I don't understand why the hell he was so angry. He shouldn't have told his pack that I was his mate, since I didn't plan on being his mate for long. He should have also corrected the doctor when he called me Luna.

I don't allow his glare to affect me; instead, I focus on the very confused doctor.

"The glass cut an artery; that's why you were bleeding a lot. We were able to stop the bleeding and sew the wound. You have two bruised ribs. You also fractured a bone. We had to set it in place before putting it in a cast. Don't worry though; with your healing, you'll probably be back to normal in two days."

I nod before sinking back on the soft pillows. That isn't so bad. I can wait for two days before I am back to training and hitting punching bags.

"Do you feel any pain or discomfort?" the doctor asks

"Yes. My shoulder hurst a bit."

I turn when Alec growls, his eyes switching colors. "Why the hell didn't you tell me? Why did you lie when I asked?"

We have a staring contest, both of us glaring at each other, refusing to back down.

The doctor clears his voice nervously. "I'll send a nurse to administer some painkillers.”

"She'll be here in a minute," Doctor Jacobs says before quickly leaving the room.

I expected Alec to follow suit and leave the room, but he doesn't. Like I said, I don't understand what he was doing here.

I'd forgotten to ask the doctor how long I was supposed to stay in the hospital. I hoped it was only a couple of hours because I was dying to see my little girl and hold her in my hand.

The silence stretches on. It fills the air with an awkwardness that makes me really uncomfortable.

"Any update concerning what happened?" I am unable to take it anymore.

"Yes," Alec answers. "But it isn't good."

"What is it?"

He runs his hands down his face before answering. "The cops want us to come in for questioning."

Damn, that is the worst news ever. Especially if word reaches the council.
