Alec’s

Sadie.

It's been a week since the truth finally came out, and I've been trying to keep busy just to keep my mind from thinking so much.

When everything first happened, I thought that the main target was Alec. I was sure that some other alpha had something to do with it. That, that alpha wanted to weaken Alec and what better way than to get his mate to reject him?

Alec is the strongest and most powerful alpha in existence. He has allies, sure, but he also has lots of enemies. Alphas who want the kind of power he has. Alphas who envy his success. Alphas who want his lands, pack and business. Not all the alphas who are allied with him actually like him. They're allied to him because there isn't any other choice. No one wants Alec as an enemy.

Those same alphas wouldn't blink twice if there was an opportunity to take Alec down. If there was a sure way to destroy and weaken him. They would do it in a fucking heartbeat. These are the reasons why I thought he was always the target.

Why me though? Before my powers manifested, I was literally no one. The only power I kind of had was being best friends with the alpha's sister. I was at the bottom of the food chain and had nothing. Why would anyone target me? Unlesss-

"Nyx, is there any other person who knows about my powers?" I ask her as I shift in my chair.

I was in my office, and was trying to do all I could do before we went scouting. King, Raven and I usually do this every two weeks in an effort to gain more info on the hybrids. It also gives us the chance to get rid of some of them.

"Why, do you ask?" she asks lazily, as if she had no care in the world.

"Because it just hit me. Why would someone want to target me and set me up? Unless they knew exactly what they were doing, and they wanted me dead."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I mean think about it. Why would anyone want someone seemingly insignificant dead? They knew setting me up like that would lead Alec to believe that I was the culprit. This would then lead me to being imprisoned and then tried and finally killed.

Why would anyone want someone seemingly weak and insignificant dead? Unless that person already knew that I wasn't as weak as everyone thought. Unless the mastermind already knew of the power that possessed. Power that had yet to awaken and they were trying to stop it from awakening.

"There is one other person who knows who and what you are," her voice pulls me out of my musings. "After what Calvin said, I suspect who it is that orchestrated this whole thing, and if she's the one, then her actions aren't because she wants you dead, but mostly likely because she wants revenge."

Revenge? Revenge for what? I never did anything to hurt anyone. Ever. I didn't like hurting other people's feelings. It made me feel horrible. So why would anyone want to get revenge on me?

"So are you going to tell me why they would want revenge?" I ask her even though I already know the answer.

"Nope... Not right now, anyway."

Nyx and her damn secrets. Sighing, I stay quiet for a while, feeling frustrated with her answers. What's with the secrecy? Can't she just tell me what I need to know?

"You said that there is one other person that already knows who I am right. Well, let's count out the moon goddess since she knows everything. That leaves the other wolf. The other Alpha Female you told me about." I tell her, realization hitting.

"Yes. She's the only other person that knew of your powers before they awakened," comes her reply.

I want so much to ask her why this other woman would want to take revenge on me, but I hold myself back. Knowing Nyx, she wouldn't tell me shit. Not until she feels the time is right.

Standing up, I walk towards the corner of my office, where my coffee machine is. I was running low on energy, so I needed a boost. I'm not one to take naps, but at this point I just might need to. I can barely sleep at night with my mind racing. I was so fucking tired, given that I'm running on two to three hours of sleep every night.

I was just brewing my nectar when my office door opens. I don't need to turn around to know who it is.

His unique scent of alerts me to who he is. Even if I couldn't scent him, the bond coming alive between us every time he is near me, is enough to tell me who he is.
