Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 77

Alec.

I stumble back in shock when the little girl ran inside screaming for Sadie. Screaming for her mama. Her body collides with that of Sadie, and she lifts her up by her armpits. I didn’t see her face because her back was turned to us, but I couldn’t fucking deny the pull towards her.

My heart begins to race. Blood rushing through me at the speed of light. I could feel sweat pool under my arms as I continue watching her.

Through the fog, her scent hits me hard. My lungs constrict and it becomes so fucking hard to breathe. So hard to draw air into my fucking lungs. Ice filled me, completely freezing me on the spot.

It can’t be.

I kept repeating the words in my head. I blinked, trying to erase the image. Maybe I was seeing things. Maybe I was hallucinating. Deep down though, I knew that I wasn’t.

The feeling I felt three years ago and earlier, settles deep inside. Etching itself in my bones, my heart and my fucking soul. It’s like it was tattooing itself in the very basis of who I was.

“Alec, are you okay?” Jason asked, but I couldn’t pull my eyes from the little girl.

No, I was definitely not fucking okay. I was far from it.

That’s what I wanted to say, but my lips weren’t moving. My mouth couldn’t form a single fucking word. I was rooted by shock. My fucking mind wasn’t even working, how then could I answer him?

“Everyone out” Sadie’s voice filled the room. “Martha, please take Aspen for a little while”

A woman steps forward to take the little girl from Sadie’s arms.

So that was her name, Aspen. It suited her.

“But Mama, we always eat together” Aspen complained, trying to hold on to her mother.

“I know, my love, but I have pack work to discuss” Sadie ran a finger down her chubby rosy cheek before giving her a kiss. “I promise once I’m done, I’ll come read you a story book.”

“About the strong princess and the dragon?” she asked, hope filling her voice.

Sadie nodded “Yes, baby. I’ll read you that one and any other you want.”

“Promise?”
