Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0140

Never in my life have I felt the kind of fear I am feeling right now. I am Alec Ashford. The big bad alpha. Nothing terrifies me. Nothing shakes me. Well, except for the terrified scream of my daughter.

"Is that Aspen?" Piper asks in confusion, her eyes now dry.

She already knew that the night Sadie and I were drugged resulted in a child. Just like me, she hasn't interacted with Aspen. On her part, I think it's mainly because she's been focused on Calvin, and besides, even if she wanted to get to know her niece, I doubt Sadie would allow it.

Without giving her or her question a second thought, I get out of my office, rushing towards where her scream came from.

All kind of thoughts ran through my mind as fear gripped me. What if something bad happened to her? What if she is hurt? What was wrong? Why did she scream?

My heart felt heavy. My chest felt like it had a boulder on top of it, crushing it. Making it hard for me to breathe. My legs literally carry me as I rush to get to Aspen as quickly as I can.

"Slow down, Alec," Piper's voice carries towards me, but it sounds drowned out over the loud beating of my heart.

I ignore her and continue running. Soon I am out of the back door and outside. I scan the area, looking for any signs of my daughter, but there are none. Sniffing the air around me, I lock in on her scent.
