Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0104

"Are you sure you are ready for this?" King asks, as I shove my clothes inside my suitcase.

Stopping, I stare at him for a minute. "No, but it's the only way to get what I want."

I've gone over my decision over and over again. I'm not one to reconsider something I've already decided. I make a decision and stick to it. When it comes to Alec, though, I have to think things through. I have to look at all the angles. I have to exhaust all the possibilities. I'm doing this for his pack, in exchange for my freedom was the best possible outcome. I could involve the council like I'd threatened, but deep inside I know that they are a bunch of sexist assholes. They would probably have sided with Alec. Threatening him with the council was just me calling his bluff.

The council's attitude is also one of the reasons why I've never come out to them as the alpha of the hope pack. I didn't want to deal with them constantly challenging me or looking down on me because I am a woman.

The council has been there for years. It was established after the first bloody war between the three supernatural species. The deities of the individual species didn't like that their children were fighting and killing each other. Through an oracle, they commanded them to stop their war and find a way to coexist or else the deities would send their wrath upon them.

At first, they didn't listen. The wolves wanted more territories, the vampires wanted more blood, and the witches and warlocks wanted more power. It was chaos with the wolves' attacking vampires and witches for their lands. Vampires attacking witches and humans for blood, and witches and warlocks using vampires and werewolves as blood sacrifices to strengthen their magic.

The god and goddesses had enough and wreaked havoc on them. Diseases, death, hurricanes, storms, floods, drought, you name them. They were suffering, they were dying, and so they had to concede to what the deities wanted. With the help of the oracle, who was given instructions by the deities, they formed the first council.

It was a great story. A great part of our history. The only thing I didn't ever fucking like was that the council consisted of only men, even though two of their deities are females. It's been that way for thousands of years. Only men sit on the council and let me tell you, from what I've heard, those men are sexists as hell.
