Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0109

I don't know why, but I expected things to have changed, but it's still the same. I feel Alec's presence behind me, but I ignore him. I just focus on the house as memories upon memories invade my head.

This had once been my dream. To be Alec's Luna. To rule by his side. I always imagined our children running around inside, playing, while I baked and tried to avoid crashing into them.

It had crashed me, realizing that I'd built fairy tales around Alec, not realizing what a monster he was. Now here I was, I had his child, and we were mates, but our life was nothing like I'd imagined it would be. Instead, I hated him, and I was only here because we both wanted something from each other.
