Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0190

She lowers her arms to her side.

"Hi" she says in an awkward tone and a half smile.

I stare at her, not really sure what the hell to do. The woman standing before me used to be my best friend. I knew everything about her and vice versa. Now I look at her and a stranger stares back at me.

I should move, but for some reason I can't. While Alec got his green eyes from their mother, Piper got her father's brown eyes. I stare at those brown eyes, wondering what made her betray me.

It's something that has bothered me for three years. We were closer than sisters, yet she dropped me the moment trouble came my way. I guess blood really is thicker than water, because why would she take her brother's side?

We've known each other since we were toddlers. Shouldn't she have known my character by then? Shouldn't she have realized that I would never do anything to jeopardize someone else's mate bond? Shouldn't she have known that I would never force my love on anyone, let alone take someone's mate?

When I don't reply, her smile falls. She then begins shuffling from one foot to another while avoiding my eye, something that she does when she's nervous.

Sighing, start moving around her, but her voice stops me, so that she's speaking to my back.

"I'm sorry," she begins in a soft voice. "I never apologized for the part that I played three years ago. I chose to stand by Alec, completely forgetting that you are my best friend. I should have trusted you. Trusted in our friendship and realize that you would never do anything to cause me or Alec pain."

She pauses as her voice catches.
