Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 81

Fuck. I fight to remain upright. As much as I didn’t want to admit it, didn’t want to accept it, it was the truth. If Sadie had died, then it means my pack would have died right along with her. More than that, I would have killed my own child.

The images of her begging me in my office while I had my hand in her chest, haunted me. I was so close to killing. So, fucking close to ending the life of my own flesh and blood.

“Are we done here?” Sadie asked, her eyes pinning us to the spot. “My daughter is waiting for me and I don’t want to keep her waiting.”

Looking at her, I’m still puzzled. “I don’t get it though. I am an alpha. I should have been able to sense your pregnancy. I should have been able to sense my child in your womb.”

No one speaks for a while, that is until Sadie’s witch friend steps forward.

“I may have an answer for that” she began. “For the longest time it puzzled me why you couldn’t sense your pup, so I began searching for answers in case there was ever another similar situation.”

“You never told me this” Sadie cut her off.

“I know” she replied. “I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing, but I needed answers. I needed to know why an alpha would deny a pregnancy even though there was one. I found the answers about a year ago in an old text.”

After she’s done talking, everyone is quiet. It’s amazing that babies can shield themselves, but it’s also sad that my daughter had to shield herself from me because I was on the verge of killing her mother.

“Anyway, it doesn’t matter what happened” Sadie broke the silence and stared right at me. “Fact remains that I don’t want to be your fucking mate and neither do I want you in mine and my daughter’s lives. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a little girl waiting for her story time.”

With that, she stomped out of the room and her friends followed her, leaving just me and my officials.

I knew Sadie was going to make this hard for me, but determination is my middle name. There is no way I’m going to give up now, not when there is so much more at stake. I wanted to be in my daughter's life, and I wasn’t going to allow anyone to stand in my way.
