Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0174

"It's all nice and good that Raven has figured out who this guy is, but have you all thought about what this could mean?" Piper leans back against her chair and asks. "What do you mean?" Alec's face is etched in confusion.

"If the person is really Kaden, then it means we will be up against a demi-god. The way I see it, we have two options. If we decide to break the spell, then it means we will be unleashing an evil and probably deranged demi-god back into the world. If we decide not to, then it means this pack slowly and painfully dies. Either way, we are royally fucked." Silence descends in the room as we all stare at her, knowing very well that Piper is right. We have limited options for dealing with this.

"I believe there is a way," Micah says after a while. "The prophecy did say that Alec's mate, who is Sadie, would be the one to break the curse. There wouldn't be a prophecy if there wasn't a way around this clusterfuck. We just have to find it."

"Micah is right," Raven chimes in. "If the oracle prophesied about it, then there is a way to break the spell without releasing Kaden."

"We have to find a loophole," Alec adds.

"Easier said than done," I mumble, speaking for the first time since Raven dropped the bombshell.

My eyes are on my folded hands even as I feel everyone's gaze on me. I felt overwhelmed by everything that was happening and what I was feeling. I just didn't understand why I felt this way about someone I didn't know... and now on top of that, I had to figure out a way to break this damn spell without releasing Kaden from his prison. I had both the weight of this pack and the world on my shoulders.

Fuck it. As much as Nyx told me to pull myself together, this isn't the kind of shit I signed up for. I mean, who the hell would want this kind of burden?

"Okay, if there is nothing else, I think we are done for today," Alec announces.

I don't wait for the rest; I simply ignore them, stand up, and leave. I had so much on my mind. So much to think about. I didn't even know where to start.
