Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 156

“Sadie?” I hear a voice calling me, but it sounds muffled underwater.

My ears are ringing, and I can barely see anything given that my sight is blurry. I feel dazed and there is this excruciating pain radiating somewhere on my body.

“Open your eyes, Sadie. We have to get out of here.”

This time the voice is clearer. It belongs to Alec. It takes a minute or so, but my mind clears and everything comes crushing into me. The accident. The hybrids that were after us.

I open my eyes and realize that I am upside down. Alec had gotten free from his seatbelt, but for me, it was still securely wrapped around my chest. With shaking hands, I unbuckle it and fall to the roof of the car, screaming as I land on my hand.

“Take it easy,” Alec whispers, his voice soft, tinged with a bit of worry.

Finally, I pinpoint the exact area the pain is radiating from. I take a deep breath, trying to breathe through the pain in my shoulder.

“Sadie, listen to me,” Alec begins and I struggle to focus on him. “I’ll get out and help you out. Once I do, we need to make a run for it. Got it?”

Nodding my head, I let him know that I understood his plan. Without wasting time, he gets out, rounds the car and moves to my side. Luckily, my door wasn’t damaged, and he easily opens it. He gives me his hand, and I place my uninjured one in his. He helps me out, being mindful and gentle.

It’s only once I am out of the car that I realize that the hybrids had stopped. We crashed by the side of the road, and they were just watching us. One of them wore a serious look while the other had a sinister smile plastered on their faces.

Alec pulls my hand, leading me towards the forest that wasn’t that far away. I look at him, then back to our joined hands. His steps are fast, and if it wasn’t for the fact that he was holding my hand, I would have been left behind.

In the distance, I hear a car door slam. I look behind me only to find that the two hybrids have gotten out of their car.

“We have to hurry up,” Alec says, not breaking a step. “We need to lure them into wolf territory; that is the only chance we have at killing them.”

What he was saying made sense. Like I said before, the council forbade anything that could lead to our secrets being discovered. That includes killing. Even with rogues, we can’t kill them in human territory.

I quicken my steps despite the pain. My other hand was bleeding and hung loosely at my side. I suspected that when the glass window shattered, I was cut, and then, when the car crashed, I either broke my hand or dislocated my shoulder.
