Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 149

“It is,” I say with a sigh.

“Remember what I told you before you left?” he asks.

I stay quiet as I try to rack my brain, trying to remember what he told me. After a minute, there is nothing. He said a lot of things.

“You’ll have to be a bit more specific, King,” I tell him, because no matter what I try, I just don’t remember.

“I told you,” he pauses, taking in a deep breath. “I felt like some things were going to happen. That going back to Alec’s pack would bring about certain things. Certain changes. I just wasn’t sure what they were.”

It clicks in my mind, and I remember his words. I remember how worried he was on the day we were leaving. I remember how anxious he was.

He continues. “That’s why I asked if you were sure about going back.”

It all starts to make sense now. His instance to know if I was ready to go back to Alec’s pack. I didn’t understand him then, but it seems like he sensed something.

I clench the phone in my hand and then release it before I can break it. “A lot has happened these past few days that I don’t even know where to start or what to do. As much as I wish I could come back home and bury my head in the sand concerning Alec’s pack, I can’t. Not now that I know the positive effect my presence has had on his people.”

That’s the thing. Every time I think, ‘Fuck it, I am going back home,’ I’m reminded of the kids, and my heart softens. Like I have mentioned before, they are the ones keeping me here. They are the reason I am staying.

“I have to go. We have training in a few,” he went on after filling me in. “Call you later?”

“Definitely”

“Hang on tight, Sadie. Things will eventually work out.” He sounds so full of hope, as if he actually believes it.

I want to, but haven’t I learned that things don’t always go the way I want them to?

After we say our goodbyes, I look around. There was nothing to do, and I didn’t want to stay here because I’ll continue being depressed. I need a ride. I need to get out of this pack, even if it’s just for a while.
