Alec’s

“I think we should make camp here,” Raven told me after we’d walked for a while. “It’s getting dark and you look pretty tired.”

I sighed in agreement. “Yes please”

She was right. My feet were killing me, and I was pretty worn out. What I wanted right now was to have something to eat and then sleep. I heard pregnant she-wolves at the pack hospital where I was volunteering complain about how they were always tired, but I always thought that they may have been exaggerating.

When I’m not plagued by my thoughts or what I have been through in the past few months, I have two extremes. Either I am hungry or really tired, and sometimes both.

I always knew that I wanted the whole fairytale kind of happiness. A mate and a whole bunch of pups. The bigger part of my fairytale consisted of Alec being my mate and the father of my children. I used to see it so clearly that I could almost taste it.

Who would have thought that things would have turned out this way? That things would turn out so sour. Alec didn’t turn out to be my mate, and I didn’t get the fairytale happy ending I was wishing for. Instead, he turned out to be a monster, and my fantasies turned into nightmares. Alec is the father of my child, so that part turned out to be like my dreams. I wish I could change that fact, though, but unfortunately I can’t.

“Sadie, are you listening to me?” Raven shook me a little, pulling me out of my thoughts.

“I’m sorry I tuned you out.”

She shook her head before folding her hands under her ribs. “You’ve been doing that a lot lately. Do you know how dangerous that is? You could get attacked while lost in thought and you wouldn’t realize it until it was too late.”

I let out a breath before finding a log and sitting on it. “In my defense, these past few months have been a rollercoaster that I’m still finding it hard to come to terms with and get over.”

I mean, how am I supposed to deal with the fact that the father of my baby wants me dead? Or that someone could potentially have it out for me, and that’s why they staged everything that led to the destruction of my life?

“You’re doing it again!” she snapped

“Sorry”

13.50 Tue,

“Just pay attention, will you? Remember, you have a baby that depends on you. If something happens to you, your child will be affected too.”

I slumped against a tree that was behind me tiredly. She was right. I couldn’t be careless about my safety when I was pregnant. Instead of answering verbally, I just nodded my head.

She nodded back, acknowledging my agreement, before turning around.

“Where are you going?” I asked her.

need firewood, so that’s what I’m going to get.”

Once again, I nodded and watched as she left. I would have helped, but I was too tired.

The moment she was out of sight, I stood up and began unpacking our stuff. It was the least I could do after all she’s doing. Even as I unpacked our things, thoughts of what we’d discussed earlier invaded. my mind.

Nothing really made sense. I mean, was I really just the unlucky victim of whoever was trying to weaken Alec, or was I chosen for a specific reason? Could there be something more behind the whole thing, and how come they still haven’t found the waiter?

The last time I was in the cells before He helped me escape, Jason had told me that they had yet to find the bartender that served us the drinks.

Sighing, I throw the sleeping bag in anger. To some extent, I get Alec’s anger towards me. Any normal wolf would have done the same if they’d lost their mate because of someone’s devious plan. I get his anger at losing Lola, at his heartbreak, and at his bitterness.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

What I can never accept or forgive is his one-sided mind. They took one look at all the evidence pointing at me and believed that I was behind it. He didn’t investigate further. He didn’t try to look at it from another angle. He didn’t even think for one second that maybe someone else had planned everything. That was just something I could never get over. That and how he punished me for it.

I dropped the bag that had some of our stuff and just began kicking it. I was angry and bitter, and the emotions felt like they were drowning me. I imagined it was Alec’s face I was hitting over and over because it would be so satisfactory if it were.

“What do we have here?” A creepy voice made me freeze my assault on the defenseless bag.

My heart started beating fiercely as fear encased me. My run in with the rogues and the vampire was still fresh in my mind. For the millionth time, I cursed Alec to the moon and back. If he’d only had the sense to look at things from a different angle, then I wouldn’t be here. Everything that was happening was that **n b***rd’s fault.

I slowly turned and stared behind me. I’m surprised to find a woman. She had this creepy smile and her eyes were a mix of bright red and black. I tried to sniff her, but my senses weren’t that sharp, and ! couldn’t get anything from her.

We stared at each other. Me in fear and her with curiosity.

My fear escalated when her smile tumed sinister and her eyes widened in excitement.

4Oh my, I recognize you,” she states as she starts approaching me. “Everyone thinks you’re dead but you’re not. Imagine how happy Alpha Alec will be when I deliver you to him.”

Without warning, she charged at me with an alarming speed that knocked me hard to the ground.

F**k, that hurt, but more importantly, I couldn’t let her take me. I couldn’t let her take me back to Alec, because it would be game over for both me and my baby.
