Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0123

I don't say anything. I just shut the door in her face. I don't care if it is rude. They don't deserve anything from me and they won't be getting anything from me.

I get dressed quickly, then leave my room. I'll have to spend time with Aspen later on. The sooner I get this damn curse fixed, the sooner we can leave.

I'd told the elders that I wanted to see the text about me. I thought I could get something from it. It was probably the reason why I've been summoned.

I get to Alec's office door and, without knocking, I push it open.

It's still the same. Nothing has changed. I'm taken back to the last time I was here. The day he threw the tablet at me. The day I begged them to believe me, but they didn't. The day he ordered me to be thrown into the dungeons. *Sadie..." he calls my name and I shake myself from those memories.

His eyes hold something akin to regret, but I am not so sure. What I am sure though, is that he was also remembering that day. It's there in his eyes.

I nod a greeting to Micah before turning to the elders without greeting them, "Did you bring it?"

Mark nods and hands over the text to me. I immediately scan through it, eating up the words like they were sushi.

[She is strong and powerful. An Alpha Female and her powers, when awakened, will shake the foundations of the world. Because she is the blessed one, their union will be blessed, and their offspring will rule both the heavens and the earth. Only she will be able to undo the curse; only she will be able to destroy the evil. In her presence, the pack will recover and flourish, becoming the most powerful pack the world has ever seen. So many will want to use her, to destroy and suppress her, but she will prevail. Many will want to destroy their bond, so beware of impostors, for the blessed one will be known by a white crescent moon mark on her left ear.]

I place the old journal down. The words were still ringing in my head. Playing in my mind like a broken record.

Now I get why Micah asked to check behind my left ear when we first found out that I was Alec's mate. I never had the mark before, so it must have appeared when my powers awakened.  Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

"It did," Nyx speaks up. "You two, you and the other alpha female both have marks. It's meant to differentiate you from the rest. Yours is a white crescent moon symbolizing renewal, growth and hope."

Even though I know what her answer would be, I still ask. "And the other female, what is her mark?"

*You know I can't tell you that, Sadie, not yet anyway," she answers before slinking back into my subconscious mind.

I sigh. I want to be mad at her for holding information, but what if she has her reasons?

*Anything?" another elder asks when we are silent for a while.

"My powers awakened when Alec tried to attack me in my pack" I begin. "And my wolf did tell me that I am a rare breed of wolf. An Alpha Female....

*Your presence has also begun bringing changes. The pack is starting to recover. We have all felt it. Even those in the hospital are starting to get better," Elder Martin adds, cutting me off.

*But," Alec begins. "The text said that some would try to destroy our bond. I wonder if that's what the veiled woman Calvin told us about was aiming for."

Goddess, what he was saying made sense. A lot of it, actually.

*But that would mean that she must know something about the curse, about what has been going on," I pause as another realization hits. "Oh goddess, that means she knew that we were mates way before we did and about my powers. Why else would she go through all the trouble to destroy our bond before it even awakened?"

I watch as the gravity of the situation hits everyone like a ton of bricks.

If this woman knew, it would explain why she came after me and Alec. Why she targeted us. The most important question is why? Is it because of the curse, something else or both?

"It also makes me wonder where Lola falls in all this?" I think out loud. "Was she in on it, or was she clueless and was used as part of the plan to destroy the mate bond between us?"Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I see Alec freeze at the mention of his first love. I wonder if he still loves her? Anyway, it's none of my business. After he rejects me, he can go looking for her, assuming she is innocent, isn't dead, and hasn't found her mate yet.

*We need to begin searching for that woman," Micah voices what everyone has probably thought about. *She seems to be at the center of all this, and knows more about what's going on."

I couldn't agree more on that. Something was going on, and she may be the only one with the damn answers.
