Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0158

The little energy I had leaves me, and I sag against the tree. Alec catches me before I can fall down to the ground.

The hybrid's words keep playing in my head. Not about his cousin, but about the woman who was apparently coming for me.

"You are bleeding," Alec's voice cuts through my thoughts.

I give him a weary smile. "So are you," I tell him, pointing at his midriff.

His black V-neck shirt was torn, and you could clearly see where the hybrid had ripped into him.

"This is nothing. I've faced worse," he says so cockily that I feel like wiping his fucking smile with a slap.

"You don't look too good," Alec murmurs, leaning down beside me.

I scoff at his words, "Speak for yourself. I look amazing. Always have, always will."

My words were slurred, and I could barely hold up my head. I just wanted to sleep for maybe a few days.

When I decided I needed time alone, I never thought that my day would end this way. I was supposed to eat some ice cream, catch up with Mrs. Walter, and then go back to the pack. Now, Micah's car was totally ruined. I was hurt, and so was Alec, and we had two dead hybrids to deal with.
