Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Alec’s CHAPTER 85

Chapter 85

“What about the warrior? I know I charged Micah with them, but have they arrived?” I ask Jason as we walk side by side.

I fist my hand in an attempt to suppress the pull of the bond. Every fiber of my being was against leaving Sadie.

“No, but it won’t be much longer. An hour or so,” Jason answers before stopping.

I halt in my steps and turn to look at him, wondering why he stopped.

“Is something wrong?” he asks, his eyes looking at me in worry. “You seem tensed.”

I grit my teeth against the need and pull to turn around and go back to Sadie’s room. I honestly don’t understand why this is happening. Why is it becoming so hard? Is it because we are in close proximity?

The need to be around her has gotten stronger since we came back here. It feels like my entire being is being consumed by this need. The need to be near her, as if she’s the very air I breathe.

“Nothing; let’s just go,” I tell him, and I begin walking once again.

Every step take away from her feels heavy. Like my feet have been filled with lead. My body is screaming against me leaving, especially when my mate is in a delicate state. It’s as if the very fabric of my being is fighting against me. Against walking away from this hospital.

We get outside, and I rush to get away from the suffocating atmosphere. I quicken my steps, hoping that the need to stay will Lease if I can just put some distance between me and Sadie.

“Will you slow down?” Jason’s pants, trying to catch up with me.

I don’t stop, though. He can either hurry up or stay behind. Right now, it’s none of my f*g **business.

Within minutes, I am pushing the door to the pack house open. Nothing and no one register in my head as I make my way towards my office.

I open the door to my office only to find Piper seated in one of my chairs.
