Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 153

“What are you doing here? Alec,” I ask Alec, still eating my ice cream.

“I could ask you the same thing, Sadie,” he answers, his eyes focused on me. “I saw Micah’s car and wondered what he would be doing here. Only it wasn’t Micah, it was you.”

I used to come here as a safe haven. I didn’t have anywhere in the pack except the meadows, but when I wanted to get away from the pack, I would come here.

Like I said, most of the time I came here because of Alec. Any time he would ignore me or brush me off as if I were nothing. Any time he would treat me like I was invisible. Like I didn’t matter, I would come here.

I can’t even begin to count the number of times he would break my heart. So you can imagine just how many times I came here to escape my heartbreak and the pain I was feeling.

Before he found Lola, I would come here whenever he would bring his new toy to the pack house... or whenever I witnessed his current flavor leaving his bedroom or his office looking thoroughly ravished. I hated it, and I hated that it hurt me.

I would come running here. A place I knew was untouched by Alec or the supernatural world. Like I said, we don’t usually interact with humans. That simply means ninety-five percent of the supernatural species prefer businesses owned by supernaturals.

I found peace here because it wasn’t marred by our species. Here, being surrounded by humans meant that I could forget all about mate bonds and just be normal.

When he found Lola, I came here to escape their love. She was always around, and she had Alec wrapped around her little finger. I am not ashamed to admit that I hated seeing him so in love with her. I hated seeing them flaunting their love and relationship in my face. My visits here became regular after Lola entered the picture. I came here to escape the pain of seeing the man I love falling in love with someone else.

It honestly killed me. It felt like a thousand knives were being plunged into my heart. It left me shattered, reeling from the pain of losing a man I fell in love with.
