Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0168

The serious tone in Rave's voice worries me. The last time she said she had something important, she revealed that the pack wasn't under a curse but instead someone really powerful and potentially evil was imprisoned there. "She hasn't hinted at what she wants to talk about." Alec asks, running his hands through his hair.

"No," I answer, placing my phone back in my pocket. "She just told me to get my ass back to the pack." "Let's go then."

He doesn't have to tell me twice. I turn on my heels and head towards the door. We drove here together because, like Alec said, we needed to sell the idea of a couple. Besides, my right hand is in a cast, so I can't really drive myself anywhere. Before I can get to the door, Alec appears in front of me, almost startling me in the process.

I looked forward to being Alec's mate, and that's it. I didn't have any ambitions, plans, or goals that didn't involve him. It's
