Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0125

When I was done swimming, I headed back home. I think I'd been gone for like only an hour.

I remember nearing out cottage and just knowing that something wasn't right. Something didn't feel right. I rushed inside our home to find my mom on the floor with her chest ripped open. Her heart next to her body.

I fell down on my knees, my legs no longer able to keep me upright. I was shaken and broken as a scream tore from my lips. I remember crawling to her and pulling her body into my arms, as I wailed for her to come back. Willing everything to be just a nightmare. The pain that consumed me was like nothing I've ever felt. I felt like my heart had been shredded into pieces. I felt lost and dead on the inside. Like I had nothing to live for. Everything became dull and lost its color.

I cried for what felt like hours before burying her in a shallow grave I'd dug by myself. I ran after that. Trying to escape the pain I was feeling and the images of my mother's dead body.

I was confused and didn't understand why someone would kill her. Was it an accident? Was she just in the right place at the wrong time? Did someone intentionally kill?

My mother kept to herself. She didn't have enemies, not one I was aware of anyway, so I doubted someone would want her dead.
