Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Sadie.

I pull Raven into my room before shutting the door. The moment we are alone, Raven sits down on my bed while I start pacing the room anxiously.

So far, I am not liking the way things were going. In fact, I hate how everything has turned out. Would it make me a coward if I just fled back to my pack? Things were easier there.

We haven't even been here for more than a day and things are getting complicated. Things have gotten more complicated the longer we stay here. My head is a mess. I am stressed, worried, and anxious. Which, by the way, is a fucking terrible combination.

I stop in my tracks and turn to Raven before taking a step. I sit down beside her, sinking into the soft mattress. My shoulders slump as if I am carrying the weight of the whole world on my shoulders.

I was worn out from lack of sleep, completely wound up, and, on top of that, I am also scared. This is more than I'd bargained for. This whole thing with Alec's pack. What if I fail? What if I am unable to undo this spell? I barely know what the hell I am doing. How am I supposed to help them when I am walking in the dark?

I'm scared because the fate of a whole pack is on me. The children's futures depend on whether I can undo this thing or not. That's a lot of pressure, even for me.

Thinking of it now, I reluctantly respect Alec. He's been carrying this burden since he was old enough to understand the implications of that damned curse. He has carried it for years. I don't know how I would have coped if I had been in his shoes. It's already draining me, and I've only known about it for a couple of days.

"Sadie?"

I turn and face her at the sound of her voice. Just like me, she is worried. Worried about this new development.
