Alpha Alec's Redemption

It’s been two days since our minds were blown away by new revelations. The more things were revealed, the more complicated they became. It seemed like we were wrong about so many things. The only thing that we were right about was the damn curse.

I push Knox harder as he runs through the trees, dodging branches and roots. Our minds were a total f**g mess and everything was just jumbled.

We were still reeling from the knowledge that Lola wasn’t our fated mate. Just like I loved Lola, Knox loved her wolf. The bond we felt with the two of them was too real to be faked. How can it be when we felt every damn thing with her?

Pushing those thoughts away, Knox increases his speed. The wind blew against his black fur as we tried our hardest to escape the phantoms of the past.

It took about ten minutes before we skidded to a stop at a cliff. Slowly approaching the edge, he takes his time before finally stopping all together. We stare below before our eyes rise to meet the moon. It’s a crescent moon, and for some reason, I feel like the moon goddess is mocking me. This is the shape my mate’s mark is supposed to be, yet we had no idea.

“What are you thinking, Knox? You’re quiet,” I asked him.

He’s blocking me. Hiding his thoughts from me.

He doesn’t say anything for some time, but when he does, I can feel the confusion and heartache in his voice.

“Do you think she deceived us?” I don’t need to be told who he’s talking about. “Everything points to that being the case, but my heart wants to believe that she didn’t. Maybe she was used or some **like that.”

I knew one way or another, it would lead to Lola. For three years, we have thought about nothing but the pack and Lola.

It’s been three f**g years, and yet we haven’t found anything that would guide us to where Lola could be… Or what happened to her.

No one has seen or heard from her. She had very few friends, and those friends disappeared when she did.

Three years without a word about her or from her. It’s been f**g killing us slowly, and now we find out that she wasn’t even our fated mate?

We mourned her loss. Mourned the loss of our bond. Agonized over the rejection and held hope that one day we would win her back. All that pain we’ve endured only for us to be told that we weren’t even meant to be. We just don’t know how to f**g deal with that.

When the elders told me that I would get a second chance mate, I didn’t really have a problem with that. Mainly because, in my heart, Lola would always remain my first and fated mate. It’s some kind of

torture to find out that she isn’t even our mate.

“We know Lola, Knox. She’s sweet, kind and caring. She’s a representation of what a good person is. I don’t for one second believe that she would deceive us,” I finally responded.

“If that’s the case, then where is she? How come we haven’t been able to find her all these years? Why did she disappear?”

That was the million-dollar question. Where the f**k did she disappear? I get the need to escape your heartache, but to disappear without a trace-that is weird, to say the least.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I honestly don’t know.”

We remained quiet after that. Both of us lost in our own thoughts. Knox drops on his belly and lies on the ground with his head on his paws. The winds continue raging outside while a different kind of storm rages inside us.

He closes his eyes, feeling the wind brush against our fur. It was peaceful here. This is the one place we come to when we want to think. When we want to be away from the chaos in the pack. The one place where we can find peace, even if it’s for only a few hours.

I use this time to think about what’s to be done. Hunter was right. We needed more alliances. We true needed to speak with the Alpha of the Hope pack. It’s not that I don’t have faith in finding my fated mate, but with how everything has gone wrong, it’s always good to have a backup plan.
