Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 131

She takes a deep breath, before her glaring eyes refocus on me. “If it were any other crime, they would have been imprisoned in a normal dungeon or hell, in the council’s stronghold. Instead, they were imprisoned somewhere where no one knew their location and then their prison was sealed off with magic. That should tell everything you need to know.”

“Raven is right,” Sadie sighs tiredly. “Whoever imprisoned this person went to great lengths to make sure they never escaped. If Raven hadn’t figured it out, then we would have continued to run in circles, meaning the spell would remain intact, ensuring no escape.”

I push myself up and walk to my window. “Meanwhile my pack continues to suffer.”

I didn’t like this. I didn’t fucking like this at all. I thought that we were finally making headway. That we were finally getting somewhere. Now, it seems like we are back to square one with no solution in sight.

How long were my people supposed to suffer because of this bullshit?

“Sadie is here, and her presence is making things so much better.” Micah tries to reason, tries to make things better. “The text did say that Sadie is the key. We just have to figure out what that means.”

Raven then adds, “Sadie’s presence will have to be enough for now. Like Micah said, She’s the key, which means there is a way to undo this spell without releasing whoever this person is. We just have to figure out which way that is.”

I release a breath, sighing tiredly as I try to figure things out in my head. Everything is such a mess. It’s starting to drive me insane.

“Does any of you have the slightest idea of who this prisoner is?” Sadie asks the elders.

They all shake their heads. Of course, they wouldn’t know who the person is. They, just like the rest of us, believed it was a curse. One put on us because we offended a witch. How were they to know that it wasn’t an actual curse?

“I don’t know where to begin,” Martin states, “But we can start researching in the pack’s library. We can check the records of crimes committed and who committed them. Maybe we can find something there. Maybe a pack member who committed a crime so bad that it would warrant that kind of imprisonment.”

But if that’s the case, wouldn’t we know about it? Especially if it’s a terrible crime. Unless someone didn’t want the pack knowing about it. Unless something like that did happen, and it was hushed.

Sadie nods. “If that’s all, then we’ll leave.”
