Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0026

Micah continued as if he didn’t just tear my f**g heart with the mention of Lola’s name. “Don’t you find it strange, though? The prophecy was clear; then how come in the few months you were with her, her presence here didn’t improve anything?”

I get what he was saying, but that was not possible. Micah, for some reason, had never liked Lola, and she, of course, never liked him back.

“Are you trying to imply something?” I growled, not liking his tone of voice or what he was insinuating.

He raises his arms in the air and gives me a sardonic smile. “Nope,”

“Have you tried talking to her?” Jason cuts in. “Maybe you can talk her into helping even though you two aren’t together.”

Sighing, I stand up and start pacing. “I tried, but I can’t find her. Apparently she moved after she rejected me. No one has seen her since.”

“That’s understandable. I get her need to escape the heartache,” Jason muttered with an understanding look while Micah just scoffed.

His attitude makes me want to pummel the idiot into a **dy pulp. I was about to do exactly that when there was a knock on my office door. I sniffed the air, and my nose immediately picked up Piper’s scent.

I’m not worried that she would have listened in. The office was soundproof for obvious reasons.

I crossed the short distance and opened the door. I was immediately tense after seeing her red and swollen eyes.

“What is it, Buttercup?” I asked, pulling her into my arms and shutting the door.

I walked her to the couch and sat her down. A few minutes later, she stands up and starts pacing, wearing the carpeted floor. She seemed tense and agitated, and she doesn’t look like her normal, put- together self.

It’s been a week since she buried that traitorous b***h, and something seems off with her.

“Piper?”

She turned those bloodshot eyes toward me. “I want to leave the pack.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Absolutely not.” I stood up and fired. “I am not going to allow my little sister, the only family I have, to leave the f**g pack. It’s f**g dangerous out there on your own.”

Her eyes immediately shut down. “I wasn’t really asking.”

“Neither was I. You aren’t leaving, and that’s a f**g command.”

She collapsed to the ground, crying, and it took me a second to realize what had happened. I rush to her and pick her up, her s**bs tearing at my heart and soul.

“Please, Alec,” she pleaded, clutching my shirt, her voice broken and tears falling down her eyes. “I can’t stay here. She’s everywhere. In every nook and cranny. I can’t get her out of my head or get over the guilt I feel. She was my best friend since we were both in diapers; ninety percent of my memories have her. I just don’t know how to deal now that she’s gone. This entire place reminds me of her and the plans we made.”

Her pain hurts me, but I am torn. I don’t feel an ounce of pity that the woman who destroyed me is dead, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t feel sorry for the f**g pain my sister is in.

“Please, Alec. I just need time away. Everything is still so fresh, and everything here reminds me of Sadie.”

F**k. I am torn. I don’t want her to leave, but I also understand what she means. If I didn’t have a duty to my pack and company, I would have left because this place also contains memories of Lola, and it always kills me knowing I have nothing but the memories of her.

Someone cleared their throat, and it’s only then that I realized that Jason and Micah were still in the room.

“Okay. Fine” I concede.

“Thank you,” she mumbled over and over against my chest.

I held her close and rubbed her back in comfort, trying to push down the resistance and restlessness! felt at her leaving.
