Alec’s

Alec

Present day

“Are you sure?” I asked, standing up. My mood had already lifted, and I felt much better.

Something passed in Micah’s eyes, but it was gone before I could read it.

“Yes,” he gritted out through clenched teeth. “Someone has confirmed that it is indeed her”

I remain quiet, studying my g**a. Why the hell did I sense some hostility from him? Anyway, it didn’t f**g matter. Not when the woman who had caused me so much pain had been eradicated from the world.

I hear a s**b behind me. I turn, finding Piper sobbing softly. I’d completely forgotten that she’s there. That this was a dear friend we were talking about.

“Please tell me it isn’t true, Micah,” she begs as tears silently fall down her face.

I feel for her, but not as much as I should. I’d wanted Sadie dead for her crimes against me. I’d wanted her to pay for costing me my mate and the solution to my pack. For me, this was the best f**g news. I felt vindicated.

My only **g regret is that I’m not the one who got to put the b**h down. It would have been so f**g nice if I’d been the last face she saw before she died.

“I’m sorry, Pip, but it’s true,” Micah answers, his eyes downcast.

Piper cries more, her heart breaking right in front of me. “She betrayed Alec, but I didn’t want her dead.”

pull her into my arms and hold her as she continues crying. I felt like a f**g hypocrite. I was holding my sister while trying to comfort her, yet deep down I was rejoicing that the f***g b**h is dead.

“You didn’t want her dead, but Alec did, and since his word is law in our world, the others jumped to fulfill it,” Micah snarls, completely shocking me.

He seemed angry, and I couldn’t understand why. Sure, he wasn’t among the ones that tortured Sadie, but he’s my f**g G**a. He should be on my f**g side.

With that, he turns around and stomps away.

Pip, who’d been lying on my chest, pulls away and looks at me in shock.

“What did you do, Alec?” she asked in a whisper.

I don’t say anything. I f**g loved my sister with all my heart. I didn’t want to hurt her, and I knew that she would be hurt. Despite everything that went down, she was still attached to Sadie. Yes, she hurt her when she hurt me, but she didn’t stop caring about her friend.

“What the f**k did you do?” she screamed.

I grit my teeth in irritation. She was the only one who got away with shouting at me like that. If it were any other

person, that **t would have earned them a good beating or a trip to the dungeons.

Instead of answering, I turn around and storm off. I didn’t need to justify my actions. I didn’t need to explain myself to anyone. Sadie deserved this for ruining my chances with my mate.

What did Pip think? That banishment would be enough after she escaped. She was naïve and dead. wrong.

“Alec!” She shouts my name.

I turned and glared at her. “What!”

“Tell me you didn’t order her to be killed. Please tell me.” She begs, but I can’t do that. I can’t lie to

her.

“What the hell did you expect, Pip? She cost me my mate! Was I supposed to sit back and let her enjoy her f**g life? She needed to pay.” I take a deep breath.

You know me, Piper, no one, and I mean,

no one crosses me and gets away with it.

After saying that, I turn. She calls my name, but I ignore her. I walk away. I didn’t want to get into it with my sister, but I also wouldn’t take back my stand. Sadie betrayed me and the pack; I just made sure that Karma got to her.

Jason? Arrange for Sadie’s body to be brought back. I mid-linked my beta

‘On it’

Sure, Micah told me she’s dead, but I wanted to see her body with my own two eyes. I also wanted our pack doctor to do a DNA test. With how advanced magic is nowadays, some could have done an illusion spell on a random dead body. Only with a DNA test will i truly know that Sadie is dead.

Going into my room, I change from my workout clothes, shower, and then change into more formal clothes. After I’m done, I head downstairs, and minutes later I get a mind link from Jason that Sadie’s

body was at the pack mortuary.

Heading there immediately, I don’t stop or greet anyone on my way. My mind is focused on seeing for myself that she’s dead.

“Alpha,” the mortician bows respectfully.

I just give him a polite nod. He leads me to a table. On it, a body is covered with a white sheet. He pulls back the sheet, revealing Sadie’s face.

I expected to feel joy and satisfaction seeing her dead, but I don’t. I feel absolutely f**g nothing.

“I want to know the cause of death,” I tell him, and he nods his head. “I also want a DNA test to make

sure it’s her and also, check if she was pregnant before she died.”

“Yes, Alpha”

He bows again, and I leave for my office here at the pack. Today I wasn’t going to my company. I had issues to settle in the pack, so I was going to be here the whole day.

Time passes by fast as I drown myself in work. A new hospital wing needed to be built. Some houses needed to be renovated. New warriors needed to be trained.

I got into it, using my work as an escape. I didn’t want to think about Lola and how I would probably never get a chance with her again. I didn’t want to think about the curse on my pack or the fact that I still didn’t have a solution for how to break it. Hell, I didn’t even know it’s back story, how it came to

be, or who cursed us.

Sometimes things got overwhelming, and burying myself in work was my only escape.

“Alpha?”

His voice pulls me to the present, breaking the bubble I’d built around myself while I worked. I look up to find the mortician hovering near my open door.

I nod for him, and he enters.

“What do you have for me, Ben?”

“Well, Sadie died from stab wounds. She had a total of fifteen stab wounds. From the force of the stabs and also how many there were, it seemed that the person who killed her hated her and wanted her dead,” he answers.

I lean back in my chair. Well, that was interesting. Seems like I wasn’t the only one who had beef with

“The DNA?”

“Yeah, I confirmed it. It’s definitely her.”

Finally, justice. Knox whispers in my mind

Ben continues. “As for the pregnancy,. She wasn’t pregnant at all. In fact, never at any point in her life has she ever been pregnant.”

F**k. I knew it. I knew the dumb b**h was lying. She might have realized that the person who killed. her was after her, and she thought that using the pregnancy excuse, she would trap me into allowing her back into the comfort and safety of the pack. What a b**h!

“Is that all?” I asked him, and he nodded.

“Very well then, you’re dismissed.”

He leaves, and I’m left alone in my office.

‘Jason, Micah, I wanted the guy that drugged me found. I don’t care what resources you have to employ to find him, as long as he’s found. Am I clear?’ I tell them through our link.

‘Crystal’ Jason replies first.

‘Gladly,’ Micah says with a dangerous tone.

Now that Sadie was gone, I could focus on my pack and the other guy that was involved in this mess. I

will get the truth from him and then he’ll face the same fate as Sadie. Death.
