Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0066

Sadie.

I stare at Alec, and I know that something was working in his mind. It was quite clear that he didn’t like the fact that I was his mate, or the fact that I rejected him. To be honest, it puzzled me.

He couldn’t hide the hate he has for me, and I hate him right back. So why the hell would he reject my rejection? It didn’t make any f**g sense. I thought him of all people would be ecstatic. Or is he p**d because I rejected him first? Maybe he wanted to be the one to do it, so he could humiliate me.

I want to believe that, but something tells me that there is more to this. There is a reason he wants me as a mate, despite the simple fact that he hates my guts.

“I hate this, Sadie” Nyx says in an almost agitated voice.

“I know” I reply. “It’s not like I am jumping for joy right now. The last thing I want is to be mated to this monster.”

I doubt I’ll ever get over what he did to me. The scar on my face will always be a reminder of just how cruel he can be. I was innocent. I would never have done anything to hurt him despite being madly in love with him, yet he destroyed me. He nearly ended my life and Aspen’s.

How am I supposed to live with that? How am I supposed to let go of that and accept him as my mate? How am I supposed to look in the mirror and still kiss him and sleep beside him? I don’t think that will ever be possible. It would take a divine miracle for that to happen.

“We need to get him to accept the rejection,” Nyx adds. “The last thing I want is to be tied to his wolf.”

“Has he tried reaching out?” I ask curiously.

“Yeah, but I have blocked him” she replies. “I don’t want to talk to him or see him. Hell, I don’t want to be anywhere near him. Not after what they did to you.”

I could cry right now. Nyx can be pushy, annoying and stubborn at times, but she’s the best. One of the things I’m grateful to the moon goddess is giving me Nyx. The fact that she supports me against her mate is amazing. I’ve heard of stories of wolves pushing their humans towards reconciliation despite their mates rejecting them, or cheating on them.

We were taught that when that happens, it causes the bond between the human and his or her wolf to break because they want different things. The wolf’s insistence drives the human almost to the point of insanity.

A lot of terrible s**it has happened to me in the past few years, but one of the blessings the goddess gave me is Nyx. “Thank you, Nyx,” I tell her in a small voice. “I was afraid you’d want your mate. You have no idea what this means to me. The fact that you’re on my side”

“Always, my lovely human” she says, nonchalantly, but she can’t hide her wolfy smile. “Now, let’s focus on how to get them to agree, so that we can get rid of this bond.”

Alec, Micah and Jason’s eyes were a bit unfocused, so I’m sure that they were communicating through their mind link.

“The first thing we need to do is find out what he’s hiding,” I tell her, as I continue studying Alec. “There is a reason why he wants me us as a mate, Nyx. I saw how besotted and in love he was with Lola, so I simply can’t believe that he’s over her. The fact that he was still p**d off, enough to kill me, tells me that he still has feelings for her and seeing me reminded him that he lost her.

Nyx looks at me with a proud smile. Or what I assume is a smile given that she has an animal’s form.

“I taught you well, my darling” her voice radiates pride. “Your observation is correct. Us being their mate changed something. They hate us, but they need us for some reason. We just need to find out why they need us, and then we can use it to our advantage.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“I like that plan. Like you said, if we find the reason, we’ll have the upper hand and something tells me that whatever it is, they desperately need us for it.”
