Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0137

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Knox pops in my head, annoying me the fuck out.

"Will you just shut the fuck up?" I growl, but it does nothing to avert his attention from Sadie.

I've been here for the last forty or so minutes. My eyes barely moved from her face. It's like, no matter what I do, I just can't pull my focus from her.

The need to smooth down her hair and touch her is so strong that I have to clench my fist just so I don't give in to the strong need. One that goes beyond my understanding.

Sure, we were taught about mate bonds, but no one ever mentioned just how strong it would be. Just how powerful it would be.

"Mate bonds between alphas and their Lunas are usually stronger than those of average wolves," Knox informs me.

"And you didn't think to tell me this before?"

"It never came up," he answers lazily. "Though I should have figured it out with Lola when the bond didn't feel that strong. I was so smitten by her wolf that I failed to notice that major detail."

I breathe out, trying to hide my frustration and bitterness. Had I known this before, maybe I would have questioned things with Lola. Had he been keener, maybe we would have avoided the mess we are in right now.

I can't really blame him, though. Just like him, I was so smitten with Lola that I could barely see straight. I barely thought straight.
