Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0024Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

We remain quiet, his warmth enveloping me, bringing a sense of comfort and peace. I could also feel Knox comforting Ash. Just like with Alec, Knox hated Sadie, but he loved his sister and would do anything to comfort her. "Is it okay if I bury her near her parents?" I asked him tiredly. "I know she'd love that."

I feel the moment he tenses. "No. After what she did, she

doesn't deserve to be buried next to them. Her parents were good people. She was a conniving, shameless bitch."

My eyes started tearing up. Fuck! I thought I'd cried enough.

"Please," I begged him, wiping away my tears with trembling hands. "I need this. I need to send her off."

His eyes were burning, and his jaws were clenched. He was pissed that I would ask him this, if it were up to him, Sadie's body would have been thrown out and left to be eaten by wild animals. I couldn't have

"Fine" he sighs in defeat. "But make sure it's done before evening"

"Thank you, Alec," I told him, kissing his cheek before standing up. I had a lot to do.

It doesn't really take me long to prepare everything. In four hours, I had her grave dug and a casket ready. Despite what people believe, werewolves aren't savages. We bury our own, just like humans. There are others who cremate, but that's a personal decision.

I watched in silence as two new pack members helped me carry the casket to the location. They were the only ones who weren't busy and who didn't know Sadie or what went down.

I knew Alec wouldn't come, and that was fine with me. Sadie did do a lot of damage to him. Unless the moon goddess decides to bless him

with a second chance mate, he will either remain mateless or have to take a chosen one, which isn't the same as a fated one. They wouldn't have a bond blessed by the goddess,

When we get to the location, I start saying the send off prayer. It was a prayer to the goddess to guide and protect Sadie's soul until she reached her final resting place.

I was just opening my eyes when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned in shock to find packmates. gathered behind me.

"What are you doing here?" Lasked them, my voice growing cold with each word.

I didn't mean to leak my aura, but it happened, and they cowered before him. I was the daughter of an Alpha; I was powerful and higher in rank than them. The only ones who were above me were Alec, Jason, and Micah. "Miss Piper, we are here to pay our respects. We heard Sadie died," one of them said timidly.

This pisses me off and sends me over the edge.

"How fucking dare you?" I yelled,/my anger and pain rising to the surface. "You want to pay your respects? Aren't you the ones who shunned her? Weren't you the ones

who fucking joined in her torture? Weren't you the same fucking people who rejoiced and threw a fucking celebration when she was banished? And now you want to pretend that you fucking care for her?"

One of them tries to speak, but I cut them off.

"I suggest you leave before I forget you're my fucking pack and tear you into fucking pieces!"

They stood there shocked, but no one moved.

"Didn't you fucking hear me? I told you to leave!" This time, I infuse my command with my aura, forcing them to cower and then to flee.

It's only after they left that I calmed down just a little bit. I asked the two remaining men to lower the casket and bury Sadie..

"You're a hypocrite, you know that?" Ash asked with a sneer. "You also shunned her. If we are to go by that, then you also shouldn't be here."

I just sighed tiredly while trying to keep my tears away. "I know."

She's right. I should have been there for her, and I'm so fucking sorry that I wasn't

Wherever her soul is, I hope she'll one day forgive me for not sticking by her side.
