Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

CHAPTER 1

Chapter 1

I move to the beat of the music, suddenly feeling all my worries wash away. I wanted to forget. To forget that the man I’m in love with is having this party to celebrate finding his mate.

To say I’m heartbroken would be an understatement. I am shattered because I knew my love for him would probably never fade.

“Come on, Sadie, you’ve danced enough.” My best friend, Piper, tells me, pulling me off the dance floor.

She knew I was having a hard time today. After all, the man who had unknowingly broken my heart was her big brother.

“I want to dance a little more.” I whined.

Right now, I would do anything if it meant that I wouldn’t think of him. That I wouldn’t think of the fact that he was never going to be mine. That I had lost him before I even had him.

It’s sad, honestly. I tried everything to get him to notice me, but he never did. I was nothing more than his sister’s best friend. The annoying girl that usually gets on his nerves.

I had hoped and prayed to the moon goddess that he would be my mate. I had wished every single year on

my birthday that he would be mine. I thought he would notice me, but he never did. How could he when I wasn’t his type? When I wasn’t the kind of woman he would look at twice?

Unrequited love hurt like a f**g b**h, and now I was paying the price. Now I had to watch him fawn over his mate like she was the most precious thing in the world.

It f**g hurt, and no one knew how deep the pain was.

She hands me a shot and I gladly take it. I needed something to drown out the pain I was currently feeling.

“Look, you probably have a mate out there that is dying to meet you. Get over Alec. It won’t be fair to your mate if he finds out you’re in love with someone else.”

Just the mention of his name brings pain shooting inside me. If I didn’t know better, I would think I was literally dying from heart break.
