Alpha Alec's Redemption

Fuck! I rub my chest trying to ease the ache I feel in my heart. What the fuck was going on? Why was I feeling like this all of a sudden? It’s been three years. That feeling came and went, so why now?

“Hey, are you okay?” Micah asked, coming to stand next to me.

I don’t answer. What the hell would I even say? I never told anyone about that strange feeling three years ago. Never breathed a fucking word, not even to the oracles. I didn’t understand it, so how the hell was I supposed to explain it to someone else?

“Alec?” he called again, but instead of answering, I ignored him.

I start to pile food on my plate before sitting down to eat. I had enough to worry about with Sadie being my mate and the damn curse hanging over our heads.

“But really, why do you think this is happening?” Knox not getting the fucking hint, asked. “I mean, it can’t just be a coincidence, right? We felt that shift three years ago, and today. Do you think it has something to do with Sadie? We did think she was dead, but maybe we felt her that day.”

It did make sense, but I honestly do not think it had anything to do with Sadie.

“Think about it” he goes on. “That would explain why we felt that unexplainable pain. It could be that she was hurt and unknowingly she projected that pain to us”

That also did make sense, except for one thing;

“Knox, the only way we would feel her pain is if we had marked her. We weren’t bonded, heck we didn’t even know she was our mate. There is just no way we could have felt her pain.”

“Never say never,” he murmured.

Taking a bite of my food, I say, “And besides, the scent we just smelt isn’t hers. It was fleeting but we both know it wasn’t Sadie’s scent, yet it affected us in the same way as three years ago. There is something else going on.”

I never bothered to investigate what happened to us three years ago. The pain came and went and so did the feeling. Since nothing like that ever happened again, I never bothered to dig deeper… Well, until now. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“The only way we’ll find out what is going on, and what the fuck happened is to find the owner of that scent. That’s the only way,” Knox supplied; his voice filled with determination.

I continue eating my food, knowing that he was right. That smell affected us in a way no one has ever been able to. We need to find out why and how they’re connected to what happened three years ago.

When I am done with my meal, I set aside the plate before standing up.

“So, what are you going to do about Sadie?” Jason asked in between bites. “There is no denying that she not only hates you, but the entire pack. She won’t easily agree to be your mate or help us.”

I growl at him, feeling myself losing control. He wasn’t telling me something I didn’t already know.

He raises his hand in surrender. “I was just saying… Given how much she hates us, she’d gladly watch us burn to ashes and laugh all the way home.”

Micah slaps him on the back of the head. Sadie was right, and I don’t mean that in a cruel way, given he’s my friend… Sure, Jason is good at his job, but he wasn’t really the brightest.

“What?” he snarled at Micah, glaring at him.

“Will you shut the fuck up? Can’t you see Alec is already stressed,” Micah fired back.

I stop pacing and sit down on the bed. Massaging my temples, I try to get my brain working.

I am one of the best Alphas in the world. One of the best strategists the supernatural community has ever seen. I am not bragging, it’s the truth. Right now, though, I am way in over my head with the current situation.
