Alpha Alec's Redemption



Sadie

The serious tone in Rave's voice worries me. The last time she said she had something important, she revealed that the pack wasn't under a curse but instead someone really powerful and potentially evil was imprisoned there.

"She hasn't hinted at what she wants to talk about." Alec asks, running his hands through his hair.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"No," I answer, placing my phone back in my pocket. "She just told me to get my ass back to the pack."

"Let's go then."

He doesn't have to tell me twice. I turn on my heels and head towards the door. We drove here together because, like Alec said, we needed to sell the idea of a couple. Besides, my right hand is in a cast, so I can't really drive myself anywhere.

Before I can get to the door, Alec appears in front of me, almost startling me in the process. He unlocks the car and opens the door for me. I stand there like a statue, not really sure what the hell was going on.

"What are you doing?" I shake my head and ask, because, what the hell?

"I'm opening the door for you," he shrugs. "You never open the door for yourself when we are together."

"You are assuming that this 'togetherness' will happen again," I murmur getting inside the car.

He doesn't reply; he just closes the door, walks to the other side and gets in. He starts the car, pulling away from the house, and all the while I'm wondering what the hell he was planning.

I've already agreed to help his pack, so what is with the gentleman act? Why can't he just leave things the way they are? Alec has never wanted me before, so why is he acting up now? Why is he pretending that he does?

The more I thought about it, the more I got confused. He was confusing, and he was messing me up. I didn't like that at all. Like I said, my life was perfectly normal before we discovered we were mates. I hate the complications he is bringing me now.

Have you ever been tempted to jump out of a speeding car? I hate the awkward atmosphere that has. filled the car. Normally I would have tried to fill the awkward silence, but this time I won't. I mean, this is Alec we are talking about. The last thing I want us to do is have a

conversation.

Instead of focusing on the unpleasantness inside the car, I instead look outside, focusing on the scenery. Alec's wealth surprises me. He lives in an exclusive gated community for the rich. It's not that I don't have money; I do, but still. Alec is a freaking billionaire.

If I am being honest, I never thought

that one day I'd be here. That I'd

have the kind of money I do or have my own pack. Like I said, my pathetic younger self built her life around Alec. I never planned on working, even though I would have gotten a monthly stipend as a Luna. For me, that was enough. +wanted to be there to personally raise our kids. Sure, I'd do my Luna duties, but my focus was meant for my kids and Alec.

I internally scoff thinking about my life goals. I don't have anything against stay-at-home moms, but I can't believe that I had built my life around aman. A man who ignored my existence because I wasn't this type, and he found me annoying. I looked forward to being Alec's mate, and that's it. I didn't have any ambitions, plans, or goals that didn't involve him. It's pathetic that I made him my main focus, given doing that gave me nothing but pain.

“I want us to talk about Aspen," his voice pulls me from my thoughts.

I turn to face him, narrowing my eyes at him. "What about her?"

"I would very much appreciate it if you'd give me the chance to get to know my daughter," he answers, in a cautious tone.

I stare at him and just take him in. His eyes were firmly fixed on the road while his hands gripped the steering wheel. He sat up straight, which looked uncomfortable by the way. It's almost like he had a ramrod instead of a spine.

"Why would I do that, Alec?" I ask, leaning against my chair. "You didn't want her, remember? You almost killed her. So why would I let you anywhere near my daughter?"

He sighs, as if he already knew that I would be difficult about this: "She's my daughter too."
