Alpha Alec's Redemption

Sadie.

Waking up this morning, I felt like I hadn’t gotten any sleep the whole night. I was tired, my eyes felt dry, and I had a headache to end all headaches.

Is it wrong that I wish Alec had never stepped foot in my pack? Everything that has happened started when he came here. Before, though I was still in hiding, my life was peaceful. Then Alec got here. For whatever reason, everything blew in my face.

“Do you regret the changes? The power you got?” Nyx asked while I was getting ready for yet another day where Alec was still in my pack.

“I don’t know” I’d replied honestly. “I feel like these powers will interrupt the simple life I’ve built. I feel that with powers come with a destiny I’m not sure I’m ready for. Sure, it’s good that I have them because now I can protect, my pack, friends and family better, but I just don’t know.”

I’m not afraid to say that I was scared out of my mind. Things were changing right before my eyes, and I didn’t like some of the changes. I’d thought the goddess was done with toying with my life like a damn soccer ball, but I was wrong.

Why would she make Alec my mate? It would have been different three years ago before he shattered me. I would have been ecstatic about the news before, when I was madly in love with him, but not now. Not after everything he put me through.

Pushing those thoughts to the back of my head, I finished getting ready and went to Aspen’s room. By the time we were done yesterday with Alec, she was already asleep and I didn’t want to wake her up.

“Morning, my Love” I said as I walked up to her bed.

She sat up while rubbing her eyes to clear sleep, “Good morning, mommy.”

After giving her a kiss, I walked to the windows and opened the curtains to let in the morning light.

“Do you want me to pick an outfit for you?” I asked.

When she nodded her head, I walked to her closet and opened it. Aspen loved to explore. Her curiosity about everything and anything, reminds me so much of Piper sometimes.

Pulling a pink t-shirt with unicorns on them, black leggings and a pair of flat shoes, I helped her get ready. When I’m done, I help her wash her face, brush her teeth and hair, before pulling her thick hair into pigtails.

“You didn’t come yesterday like you’d promised” she said pouting as we walked to the kitchen for breakfast.

“I’m sorry baby, what I was doing took longer than expected and by the time I was done you were already asleep” I explained, feeling terrible that I didn’t read her a book.

“Promise me that we’ll have dinner together today and you’ll read me a story before I sleep.”

“I promise”

I assured her.The smile that broke off on her lips, eased something inside me. Everything I’ve done so far has been because of her. Has been to protect her and keep her safe. I would do anything for my little miracle (I call her that because, despite the torture I went through, she still survived), including going head-to-head with Alec.

After we are done, we are done with breakfast, and she’s off to start her day. I go to the training room.

“You need to work on your right hook, Brandon,” I told one of my warriors. “You’re left-handed and I get you favor that hand, but that doesn’t mean you neglect your right hand. You can’t always fight with your left hand.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

King and I usually work with the werewolves and vampires, while Raven trains the witches. Compared to other packs, we are at an advantage since we have all supernatural species.

When he nodded his head, I commanded him to continue. I stayed training them for a bit before I ended the training session.

I asked King to join me in the office, while I sent another member to go call Raven. Minutes later, I’m seated at my office desk with King and Raven joining me.

“We have a lot to discuss” I simply said and they both nodded.

When I got the idea to start our own pack. One that we would be safe in, and one that would also give banished wolves, witches and vampires a home to call their own, I didn’t really count on being the alpha.

From experience I knew that not all of the banished were horrible people. I also knew that even though there are those that have committed crimes, they deserved a chance especially if they were remorseful. Good thing we have Raven, who is really good at reading people.

When I was chosen as the alpha, I chose King as my beta and Raven as my gamma. After all, it wouldn’t have been possible without the help and encouragement.

“Sadie?” Raven’s voice pulled me back to reality.

“I want to know the status of the hybrids.” I cleared my throat and spoke.
