Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

CHAPTER 28

Chapter 28

“You have to rest, Alec… Staying up day and night isn’t good for your health.”

Micah’s voice interrupted my concentration while I was working. I looked at the clock only to realize that it was already morning. Ten, to be exact.

Ignoring him, I went back to my work, checking the printed papers and some of the texts that the elders had provided me with.

“Alec?” he called with frustration.

His voice was starting to annoy me. I wanted to get to the bottom of things. Was that too hard to fucking understand?

He called me again, and this time I fucking lost it.

“What?” I yelled, the words coming out as a growl.

My eyes pierced his as I raised my head, Knox close to the surface. He was usually calm and was only a beast when we needed to fight or someone crossed us. Now, with everything that had happened; losing his mate and our pack being on the brink of extinction, he was more on edge than usual.

The situation was fucking pushing us. It frustrated me and agitated my wolf, which isn’t a good combination for an Alpha wolf, since we are usually more likely to lose control.

Instead of leaving like I expected him to, he sighed, crossed the room, and took a seat in front of my

desk.

“You’re not listening, Alec. You’re my Alpha, but you’re also my friend, and I refuse to let you wither away because of the curse and your mate rejecting you.”

“Piss off, Micah.”

I don’t want to be reminded that Lola rejected me and then disappeared. She didn’t even give me the chance to try and earn her forgiveness. I want to try and understand her, but I get it. I would also have reacted violently if I’d found my mate in bed with another man, whether it was intentional or a

drunken mistake.

“Not even on your fucking last breath, Alec,” he simply replied, and then leaned back against the

chair.

We’ve been best friends for years. Growing up, he and Jason were the only ones my age, so it was a given that we would be best friends. It also helped that their parents were gammas and betas,
