Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0119

There wasn't any one time I felt any attraction to her. In fact, I always felt the opposite. I felt irritated when it came to Sadie Evans. It irritated me how I would often catch her staring at me with a dreamy look or how she would find ways to try and touch me. I just hated it, so I went to great lengths to avoid her.

Now, though, I wonder if, at a deeper level, she had sensed we were mates. That would explain why she felt what she did for me, even though I never once felt the same.

It's funny how the woman I've spent most of my teenage and adult life looking down on turned out to be my mate. I never once imagined that my sister's best friend would turn out to be my mate.

Lola had been everything I wanted in a mate. Beautiful, sexy, intelligent and strong. While Sadie had been the opposite. I'm not saying she wasn't any of those things back then, but she didn't really put any effort into cultivating who she was. It's like she was okay with just being plain and unattractive.
