Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

CHAPTER 20

Chapter 20

“I think we should make camp here,” Raven told me after we’d walked for a while. “It’s getting dark and you look pretty tired.”

I sighed in agreement. “Yes please”

She was right. My feet were killing me, and I was pretty worn out. What I wanted right now was to have something to eat and then sleep. I heard pregnant she-wolves at the pack hospital where I was volunteering complain about how they were always tired, but I always thought that they may have been exaggerating.

When I’m not plagued by my thoughts or what I have been through in the past few months, I have two extremes. Either I am hungry or really tired, and sometimes both.

I always knew that I wanted the whole fairytale kind of happiness. A mate and a whole bunch of pups. The bigger part of my fairytale consisted of Alec being my mate and the father of my children. I used to see it so clearly that I could almost taste it.

Who would have thought that things would have turned out this way? That things would turn out so sour. Alec didn’t turn out to be my mate, and I didn’t get the fairytale happy ending I was wishing for. Instead, he turned out to be a monster, and my fantasies turned into nightmares. Alec is the father of my child, so that part turned out to be like my dreams. I wish I could change that fact, though, but unfortunately I can’t.

“Sadie, are you listening to me?” Raven shook me a little, pulling me out of my thoughts.

“I’m sorry I tuned you out.”

She shook her head before folding her hands under her ribs. “You’ve been doing that a lot lately. Do you know how dangerous that is? You could get attacked while lost in thought and you wouldn’t realize it until it was too late.”
