Alec’s

Alec.

"You look deep in thought."

Micah's voice interrupts my musings, pulling me back to the present. It's been three days since we found out that a demi-god was probably imprisoned here.

I am in my office. I should be working. I had a lot of work load. Both from my pack and my security company, yet I couldn't get my mind to focus on the task at hand no matter how much I tried.

I drop the pen I was holding on my desk and push away the contracts I was supposed to be working on. After all, it's been nearly two hours since I sat down at my desk to work, yet I haven't done shit in those hours.

I can't stop my mind from thinking. I had a lot going on, yet all I could think about was Sadie and Aspen. It's like my mind has been invaded by thoughts of them. I can't get my head to think about anything else. "Let me guess, you are thinking about Sadie," Micah mumbles, sitting on the other side of my desk.

He isn't wrong at all. That's one of the things I hate and love about Micah. He knows me too well. Anyway, what kind of Alpha does that make me? Instead of thinking about my pack and the huge ass problem we are currently facing, all I can think about is my mate and our daughter.

I swallow "Yeah."

Letting out a deep breath, I sigh and lean back against my chair and stare at my desk as if it has all the answers I need.

I've never really felt this way. Even when I thought that Lola was my mate. What I feel for Sadie is indescribable. My soul craves her. Not just her body, but everything that is her. I want her. I want it all with her.

Sadie has never been on my radar. To me, she was my little sister's tomboy best friend who lacked any kind of fashion sense. She was a plain Jane. She blended into the walls. She was always unseen.

It's not that she wasn't pretty. She

was, but you had to really try and see her beauty. While other women did everything humanly possible to get their beauty noticed, she did everything possible to make sure no one saw hers.

She was always shy and could hardly speak to me without stuttering. Her eyes were always cast down. She hardly ever looked me in the eyes.

I'm not being a jerk, but if I were asked years ago whether I would ever be attracted to Sadie, well, the answer would be a definite no. It's actually hilarious because now

think of no one else apart from her.

I haven't even thought about Lola in a long time. My thoughts are consumed by the woman who I hurt, and she wants nothing to do with me.

She used to follow me and chase me around back then. Now, the tables are turned. She wants nothing to do with me, while I want everything to do with her.

"So, what's your plan?" Micha asks me, once again pulling me from my thoughts. "How are you planning to win her back because I can tell you that it won't be easy?"

Unable to sit down anymore, I stand up and head to my window. I catch sight of her and for a moment my heart fucking misses a beat. Damn it! What the hell is happening to me? I've never been this cheesey.

"I don't know. I have no fucking clue," I mumble, my eyes glued to her back.

She has just come from inside. I don't need to be told where she's heading. It's clear that she's heading to the training arenas. We have two of them. One is outside, while the other is indoors. "You can't be serious, Alec."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I turn back to Micah once Sadie disappears out of sight. "What do you want me to say? I have no clue. She can barely tolerate me, so what the hell should I do?"

I'm clueless about how to win back my mate.

I can still feel her stare on my bare

skin from three days ago. I couldn't sleep, and thought that going for a run would help. Besides, it had been a few days since I changed into Knox. He needed it, and so did I.
