Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 110

He clenches his jaw, but says nothing. Instead, he goes ahead of me and leads the way. Minutes later, I realize that we were headed to the conference room. We get there, and the other Elders arrive soon after.

“What is she doing here? And how is she alive?” one of them asks in shock.

They were all surprised to see me. Surprised that I was still alive. I guess it’s not every day that someone you thought died, rises from the dead.

There wasn’t any malice in their gaze. Not like there was three years back. All I could see now was surprise and curiosity. I guess learning that Lola wasn’t really Alec’s true mate dampened their hate for me.

“I know you all remember who Sadie is,” Alec asks, pinning them with his intense gaze.

They all nod their head, but don’t say anything.

“Well, I’m just going to come out and say it, she’s my mate.”

Is it possible for a room to become even more silent than it was? It was deathly quiet as they all stared between Alec and me, their eyes conveying a number of emotions.

“Is this what you meant by new development? And are you absolutely sure?” Elder Martin asks him.

A muscle ticks in Alec’s jaw, but he nods. “Yes. We confirmed it. She does have the mark.”

“Can we see it?” another elder asks.

Swiping my hair from my shoulder, I show them the mark. I just wanted this whole conversation to be over so that I can go and collect my thoughts.

“This is an amazing development. Now we have hope,” A tall elder, I think his name is Richard, says in pure joy.

There were twelve Elders, and I never really bothered to know all their names. I always thought that would happen later, after Alec and I mated. They didn't really engage in pack politics. Their work was mainly to give council. They were rarely seen, unless the Alpha or pack had need of them.
