Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0061

I've been trying not to think about what happened yesterday. Trying to block it out because one, I didn't know how to handle it and two, I didn't have all the information.

"Yes, in a way," she answered with one eye open.

"What does that mean?"

*It means that even though her powers will be a bit watered down, she'll still be more powerful than other wolves, including alphas," she paused, then continued. "All the children we'll have in the future will be powerful."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Well, what am I supposed to do with that information? The good thing is that Aspen won't be blindsided like was. I can start training her once I understand exactly what I am.

"I doubt we will have any more children" I said. "I've already been burned once by love."

"Don't even remind me of those two bastards and what they did she snarled, referring to Alec and Knox. "I still want to rip out their fucking spine."

I can't argue with that. My anger and hatred for Alec and his wolf is still burning bright. I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that he's tried to kill me more than twice.

"Anyway, you may not be looking for love, but I can't wait to find our mate" she added after cooling down. "Don't worry, I'm sure he can change your mind about love and having more kids."

I almost barf at the dreamy look that was plastered on her face. Sure, Alec wasn't my mate, but what he did opened my eyes. If a man you've known and loved all your life could tum and hurt you, what about a stranger who you just met?

I've heard about mates who broke their other halves. I don't want to ever put myself in a vulnerable position again. A position that gives a man the power to hurt and break me. I've suffered enough heartache to last me two life times. I don't need any more emotional scars.

*Mommy, can I leave?" Aspen's voice pulls me back. "I'm done."

*Sure baby, but give me a kiss first to get me through the day and then go find Martha."

She nods her head then smiles wide before she grabs my head in her tiny hands and kisses my cheek.

*I love you, my angel"

"I love you too, mama."

She pulls away and gives Rave and King hugs before leaving the table. I mindlink Martha to let her know that Aspen is on her way to her.

"We have a lot to discuss, but first we have to deal with Alec and his pack" King said once Aspen left the room." Micah asked for Alec's release. They should be on their way to the office now."

I was already done with my breakfast. "Alright, let's go."

Walking the short distance, we get to the office. I was so unsettled and agitated. I couldn't calm down knowing that I would be face to face with Alec.

*Sadie?" Rave calls,

"What?"

Instead of speaking, she points to my back, and it's then I realize that my wings were on display. Shit, I was so anxious that I didn't know they had slipped free.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to them" King says, staring at them as if mesmerized.

Doing what Nyx had told me, I imagine myself without them. Seconds later, their weight disappears from my back.

*Stop pacing, you're giving me a headache" Nyx tells me in irritation.

*I can't help it," I snapped at her. "The thought of seeing that bastard makes me want to kill something."

Rolling her eyes, she lies down. "Don't tempt me. I still want his head on a silver platter."

It was quiet for a while with King and Rave studying me, while I continued to pace the room.

Nyx perks up all of a sudden, while I stand frozen in my spot as a delicious smell assaults my senses.

There's a knock and King opens the door. Alec walks in, followed by his gamma and Beta.

The moment our eyes meet, I stumble back in shock, feeling like I've been sucker-punched. You've got to be fucking kidding me!
