Alpha Alec's Redemption

"We'll figure it out. Don't worry, everything will be okay. Things will work themselves out."

Even as I said those words, I knew they were a lie. Things will probably never be okay, and I doubt they'll ever work themselves out. Alec pauses in his pacing and his eyes become unfocused for a while, before they are back to normal, and he turns to me.

"I need to meet up with Micah and Jason. Will you be okay on your own?"

I nod my head. "Yeah. Go and do what's needs to be done."

After pecking my cheek, he turns to leave, and I'm left alone with nothing but my consuming thoughts.

I was drowning in guilt and heartache not only for what I put Sadie through, but for what Alec and Calvin were going through. If only we had the power to see the impact of our actions on our future, maybe then we would have treated Sadie differently.

I slump against the bench in defeat. It's hilarious really. I used to scoff and laugh it off when Sadie would tell me that she believes Alec was her mate. I didn't look down on her, but I just thought it was impossible.

Back then, her wish coming true was similar to a unicorn being spotted in real life. It was simply impossible.

The jokes on us though. Turns out that Sadie is Alec's mate. Her dream did come true, the only problem right now is that she despises him to the

core.

A noise interrupts my thoughts. I twist to the left and see Sadie together with the woman that had stopped her from killing Calvin yesterday.

Sadie was laughing at something the woman was telling her. They had their hands linked, and you could feel their strong bond they shared. She looked so carefree and happy. It reminds me of how she was before we ruined her life.

Seeing her like this, seeing the bond between her and this woman, causes a pang inside my heart. We used to be like this. She used to be my friend, but then I turned on her, and now she hates my guts.

She comes to an abrupt stop when she shifts from looking at her friend and her eyes land on me. The. laughter that was there minutes ago dies. All traces of warmth disappear, and her face turns stone-cold.

Her eyes pierce mine with nothing but anger and hatred. Those eyes that used to smile at me, now stare at me like I'm the lowest of scum.

I push down the lump in my throat and the sob that threatens to escape my lips and stand up. I walk towards her. She moves to leave, but I grab her hand.

"Sadie," I beg.

She flinches as if my touch has burned her. When she tries to pull her arm from mine, I hold on tight, refusing to let go until she hears my apology.

"You better let me go before I punch you and give you a black eye to match the left one." she growls, through gritted teeth.

Remembering what happened in the dungeons, I wince and let go of her hand.

“Please, Sadie, listen to me," I was desperate to make amends, not only for myself, but also for Alec.

"I don't have to listen to shit,” her

anger is palpable, "In fact, I want out of my pack and take your fucking brother with you before I'm tempted to end your pathetic lives."

With that, she grabs her friend's arm ё and storms away. I stand in my spot, tears streaking down my face as the weight of her hatred for me and Alec crashes me to a bloody pulp.

"You deserve this and so much more," Ash sneers in mockery before she blocks me again.

I try to ignore her words, but they keep playing in my head like a broken record.

This entire thing is a clusterfuck. How the hell am I going to fix this mess?
