Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 272

I walk out of Sadie's bedroom feeling completely pissed. Pissed at the situation and pissed at my reaction.

I stay outside her door for a minute, my hand still on the handle as I try to get my emotions under control. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes. I inhale slowly, filling my lungs and trying to let everything wash over me.

It doesn't help. The turmoil inside me is still there, churning.

After a few seconds, I let go of the handle and stomp down the hallway. My thoughts are spinning so fast I barely register the pack members who bid me goodnight.

When I get to my room, I slam the door behind me. The sound echoes through the empty space, sharp and final. It hits me in the chest like a punch. I'm angry and shattered at the same time. I want to hit something. Someone. Anything to get rid of this suffocating feeling, like my heart is being run over by a damn truck-again and again and again.

I feel like a loose cannon, seconds from exploding. The pressure has built so fast it leaves me shaking with rage.

Grabbing fistfuls of my hair, I start pacing the room.

I should be happy. I should be ecstatic-over the fucking moon. But why does it feel like I'm dying? Like I'm about to lose everything? Like I'm already losing a piece of myself?

I thought I had more time. Turns out I was just lying to myself.
