Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0186

I am just about to flee after having said my piece when his hand grabs my arm. I twist around and face him. His gaze is intense, as his green eyes pierce mine in a way that leaves me breathless.

For the first time in our lives, Alec's gaze isn't indifferent as he stares at me. I gasp at the emotions playing in those green eyes. Guilt, remorse, desire, curiosity, determination, acceptance and so many more. I pull my eyes from his, unable to stand the intensity of his emotions. I try to wrench my hands from his, but he doesn't let go. Instead, he grips both my shoulders and forces me to face him.

"I want a chance, Sadie," he states with determination.

"Do I look like I am joking?"
