Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 169

“You seem to have selective amnesia. You clearly told me that you wouldn’t allow your child to be born by a whore. That whore being me. So what has changed since then, hmm? Is it finding out we are mates? Is it finding out that I wasn’t in the wrong?”

He remains quiet. His eyes briefly scanned my face before they were back on the road. I lay my good hand on my lap, waiting to see what bullshit answer he'd come up with. When he still doesn’t say anything, I continue.

“Tell me, if the truth hadn’t come out and you still thought I was a whore, would you have wanted her? If we were not mates, would you still be interested in being in her life?”

His jaw clenches and so do his hands on the wheel. I didn’t want to let him go easily, though. His words from that day still haunt. Still ring in my fucking head more times than I care to admit.

“I made a mistake, Sadie,” he whispers, his voice hoarse.

“You don’t get it. A mistake is buying the wrong cereals or cooking beef when everyone had asked for chicken—that kind of thing. Wanting to kill your child and her mother isn’t a mistake. It’s a conscious decision.”

My heart still aches thinking about that day. If Raven had been a minute late, I wouldn’t be here, and neither would Aspen. Most of my bitterness towards Alec stems from that day. I don’t care about the torture as much as I care about him almost ending Aspen’s life.

“You had cost me who I believed was my mate. I thought you were lying to me.”

“And why would I lie?”

“Think about it, Sadie. I had just banished you. Life as a banished wolf is hard enough, but life as a banished wolf who has no training whatsoever, money, or anything for that matter is terrible. I thought you wanted back into the pack, so what better way than to lie about being pregnant with the Alpha’s pup?”
