Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

It's been a little over thirty minutes since I, or rather, we, left the dungeon. The moment those words left Brian's lips, everything in me froze, and I could not concentrate on questioning him further.

Raven, seeing my distress, followed me out, while Alec, Micah and Jason stayed behind. Alec had requested I wait in his office for him so we could discuss what to do with Brian.

I am still in his office waiting for him, while deep inside my insides are raging with a consuming panic and anxiety. Raven and I haven't spoken. Each of us lost in our thoughts but probably thinking of the same thing.

It can't all just be a coincidence. There is just no way I had a dream, probably a premonition of a woman with black wings killing me, and then it turns out that the person making hybrids has similar wings.

Just as I thought that, I remembered when Alec and I were attacked. Didn't that hybrid say something along the lines of 'She' is going to kill me? At least now I know the 'She' he was referring to.

That alone cements the idea that it wasn't just a dream, but a prediction. It's too much to be a coincidence, and I refuse to believe that it is.

Unable to sit down any longer, I stand up and start pacing the room. My whole body is trembling as I think of all the things that could go wrong. The worst-case scenario is dying and if that happens, who is going to take care of Aspen? Should I leave her care to Raven and King or to her father, Alec?

I've never thought of dying. Never been faced with my own mortality, but after questioning Brian, it's right there in my face. Taunting me. I am forced to face the fact that I may not be there to see Aspen growing up.

The more I thought about it, the more melancholy I became.
