Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 168

Sadie

The serious tone in Rave’s voice worries me. The last time she said she had something important, she revealed that the pack wasn’t under a curse but instead someone really powerful and potentially evil was imprisoned there.

“She hasn’t hinted at what she wants to talk about.” Alec asks, running his hands through his hair.

"No,” I answer, placing my phone back in my pocket. “She just told me to get my ass back to the pack.”

“Let’s go then.”

He doesn’t have to tell me twice. I turn on my heels and head towards the door. We drove here together because, like Alec said, we needed to sell the idea of a couple. Besides, my right hand is in a cast, so I can’t really drive myself anywhere.

Before I can get to the door, Alec appears in front of me, almost startling me in the process. He unlocks the car and opens the door for me. I stand there like a statue, not really sure what the hell was going on.

“What are you doing?” I shake my head and ask, because, what the hell?

“I’m opening the door for you,” he shrugs. “You never open the door for yourself when we are together.”

“You are assuming that this ‘togetherness’ will happen again,” I murmur getting inside the car.

He doesn’t reply; he just closes the door, walks to the other side and gets in. He starts the car, pulling away from the house, and all the while I’m wondering what the hell he was planning.

I turn to face him, narrowing my eyes at him. “What about her?”

“I would very much appreciate it if you’d give me the chance to get to know my daughter,” he answers, in a cautious tone.

I stare at him and just take him in. His eyes were firmly fixed on the road while his hands gripped the steering wheel. He sat up straight, which looked uncomfortable by the way. It’s almost like he had a ramrod instead of a spine.

“Why would I do that, Alec?” I ask, leaning against my chair. “You didn’t want her, remember? You almost killed her. So why would I let you anywhere near my daughter?”

He sighs, as if he already knew that I would be difficult about this: “She’s my daughter too.”
