Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 194

I drag the hybrid’s body, my mind full of unanswered questions. I couldn’t help thinking of the last two hybrids that attacked me and wondering whether these two incidents were somehow related.

“What do you think?” I ask Nyx, not caring if the man I was dragging got hurt or not.

He doesn’t really deserve any kind of care. Anyone who is against me is an enemy and I refuse to show any kind of mercy to my enemies.

“Honestly, I don’t know,” she answers, her voice sounding a bit lost. “The way he attacked us doesn’t seem as planned as the last attack.”

I kept quiet while my mind wandered to that day. She’s right. The other two hybrids seemed to have been following me since I arrived in the small town. They waited for the perfect time to attack.

Nyx continues, pulling my focus back. “If really he was after you, he would have attacked while you were out. You were more vulnerable with Aspen with you and an attack then might have been easier since you would have been more focused on protecting our daughter.”

Now that she put it that way, it made sense. Why would he try and attack me here in the pack where there were thousands of wolves?

Sure, hybrids are strong, but one against hundreds of warriors? He wouldn’t have survived.

“So, he just happened to be passing through? And we happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time?”

Nyx scoffs before saying, “We caught him, so it’s more like the right place at the right time.”

“You wanted to kill him,” I remind her.

“And you stopped me, so that’s a win.” She stays quiet after that, choosing to close her eyes and take a nap.

One thing bothered me though. He was in pack land; how did he manage to sneak into Alec’s pack with no one noticing?

It would have been different if we had come across him at the borders, but we weren’t anywhere near the borders. So, how did he manage to sneak in?

My thoughts are interrupted when I catch some familiar voices. I was so lost in my head I had not even realized that I had neared the packhouse.

I look up and freeze. Micah and Alec were standing together, and I was completely naked. It was too late to do anything.

I know most think that being nude as a werewolf is a common thing. It is, but it’s also different, especially in my situation. I view Micah as a sibling. An older brother, and with Alec, well, I’m not even going to go there.

Micah's eyes widen before he quickly turns around, his back to me. I would have laughed under different circumstances.

Alec, on the other hand, his eyes stay on my face. There is an emotion in those green eyes. Desire, need, remorse, affection? But the last one can’t be right. It’s just not possible.

I continue staring at him, challenging him. I don’t know why I do it. Maybe because I want to prove to myself that the only thing he wants from me is my body and power. Maybe because I want to prove that he feels nothing for me except sexual desire.

His eyes don’t leave mine, though. They stay glued.

It must have been just a few minutes, but it felt like our staring contest lasted a century. Eventually, with a small sigh, I look away and down at the body I’d completely forgotten about.
