Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0019

Sadie

A day ago.

Tears formed in my eyes as I began to pack the little belongings I had. Technically speaking, they weren’t mine. Most of them are borrowed clothes from Raven, but that was beside the point.

I swipe away the angry tears as I continue parking. Goddess, do I hate Alec. All that was happening was his fucking fault. I was leaving the place I knew and everything I knew for a foreign land. A place that was filled with so much uncertainty.

If only Alec had been like Him. He was the alpha, yet he couldn’t tell that there was something fishy about everything. Why would I drug him and then stick around, knowing very well I would get caught? He was the renowned and feared Alpha Alec, but I was beginning to think he was nothing but dumb, stupid, and a complete monster.

I can’t put all the blame on him, though. Some of the blame fell on his pack too. The same people who turned on me the first chance they got. I was also bitter towards Piper, my so–called best friend. How could she think I’d betray her like that? That I would hurt her and Alec just to get what I wanted? It still puzzles me because if the situations were flipped, I would have remained by her damn side and stuck with her even when everyone was against her.

Sighing, I stopped packing and just dropped on the bed, already tired. I was angry and bitter, but I also know that most of the blame fell on whoever it was that framed me. I just don’t get it. Why would someone want to frame and hurt me? I’ve never done anything wrong to anyone, so I just don’t get it. Feeling tired of the constant unanswered questions, I went back to packing. I try my best to stop thinking about it so much, but I can’t. I’m so fucking frustrated, and I end up angrily shoving clothes and personal items into the duffle bag.

“Are you ready?” Raven enters the room just as I finish packing.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to leave everything I’ve known behind, but what choice do I have?” I murmured, my voice sounding brittle even to my own ears.

I wanted to scream and shout. I wanted to rant. I wanted to punch someone so badly… but more importantly, I wanted to curl into a ball and just cry for everything I’d been through and lost.

As if sensing my turmoil, Raven crosses the room and pulls me into her arms. I couldn’t fight the tears, so I just let them fall. Silently crying on her shoulders.

I was so tired of crying. I now cry all the time, and I don’t know whether it’s because of my emotional turmoil or pregnancy hormones.

Raven pulls away after some time and stares at me. “Don’t worry, I believe that everything will work out.”

I wanted to believe her, but I had no hope. I couldn’t see any silver lining on the horizon. I just wish that my parents were still here. On days like these, I miss them so much.

“Are you all set?” Beth asked, walking in.

I simply nod my head, and Raven does the same.

“Before you leave, I need some of your blood,” she says, making me frown.

“What for?” 

“Well, to create a diversion, of course. The only way to make sure Alec stops hunting for you is to provide evidence that you’re dead; that’s where

your blood comes in.”

I get what she meant, but I also feel like she left out some other stuff. I wasn’t going to question her, though. She’d already done so much for me, and she was risking making an enemy out of Alec by just helping me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Without a word, I extended my hand. She fishes out a blood bag and inserts the needle into my arm. When she’s gotten enough, she seals the bag and sets it aside. We waited a couple of minutes just so I could get my strength back.

“Okay, now hurry up. Every minute you spend here brings closer the chances of someone discovering you.”

Raven and I pick up our bags and walk out, with Beth following us. We were going to use unchartered land because that was the safest option. Uncharted land was land that was unclaimed. It didn’t belong to any of the supernatural species.

It takes us about an hour before we get there.
