Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0184

When I got out and started changing, I didn't know that I would be giving Sadie a strip show. Not that I am complaining anyway.

I admit that I sometimes expect her to behave like her old self. She didn't, though. Instead of turning around and hiding, she kept her eyes on me. I know that she wasn't looking at me in a sexual manner, but I couldn't help but feel like her gaze was like a smooth touch that lit a fire on me.

Yes, the full moon. The day when my mate's heat scent will drive me and my wolf crazy.

"We are idiots, you know that?" Knox mumbles, his eyes staring lazily at me.

"Why do you say that?"

"We never thought about it back then," he answers. "During the full moon, we never really felt any strong pull towards Lola like most people said we would when we met our mate, and she went into heat."
