Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Alec.

It’s been a couple of weeks since Sadie died and Piper left the pack. Things have been f*g t**errible, and I don’t even know how the hell I’m going to fix everything that is happening.

The pack is getting weaker as the days go by. A few days ago, there was a rogue attack, and we almost f**g lost. Some of the warriors who had been attacked have yet to heal.

Werewolves have fast healing. They should have healed in a few hours after the attack, but it’s been days, and they’re still in the f**g hospital. We’ve been debating with Jason, Micah, and the elders whether to tell them the truth or not since they’ve started questioning why they aren’t healing as fast as they should. It was all so frustrating, considering we aren’t anywhere close to finding a solution. It’s like fate is working against us or something.

My door opened, and I stopped what I was doing to stare up.

“Tell me you have some good news,” I growled, my frustration evident in my tone of voice.

Jason and Micah stared at each other, as if communicating something silently, before turning to me.

“Well!” I all but shouted while standing up.

I was wound up tight. Knox and I were on edge. We could both sense the danger that was lingering. The chaos that would accompany the revelation of our weakness. We were the leaders of this pack. Our job was to protect the pack, and yet we were failing.

“We couldn’t find anything,” Micah finally said.

“What the hell do you mean?”

Jason took a deep breath, as if preparing to deliver a devastating blow. I just knew that I wasn’t going to like whatever it was he was about to tell me.

“Spit it out, Jason,” I snapped when he still didn’t say a f**g thing.

“We haven’t been able to find her,” he began. “Her house is empty, and it looks like she hasn’t been there in months, and no one has seen her around either.”

“That’s not possible,” I muttered more to myself.

How is it possible for her to just disappear? Efforts to find her have borne no fruit at all.
