Alpha Alec's Redemption

Alec.

"What do you mean?" I ask in genuine confusion.

Have you ever been told something and for some fucking reason it just doesn't click in your head? You can hear the words, but you simply can't fucking grasp them? That was me right now.

As if I didn't already have my fucking plate full, and now this?

"Exactly what I said, Alpha," Gabriel, one of the elders' sighs. You can hear the tiredness in his voice. "We were attacked last night, and a lot of our pack members, especially the warrior, are severely injured."

Fuck! Why the hell was this happening? Especially right now when I am thousands of miles away from my pack.

Despite what he told me, I was grateful to the moon goddess that no one died. He didn't have to tell me that no one died. I would have felt it if any pack member died. Their link to me as their alpha would be cut off, and I would have felt that.

I don't know what I would have done if I'd felt any of them die while I wasn't there to protect them.

"Why wasn't I informed yesterday, Gabriel?" I question, feeling my temper rise. "Why did you wait till now? You know I could have pushed my energy through the link. It would have fucking helped."

"We are sorry Alpha. When we realized that the pack was under attack, we thought it was just a rogue attack as usual, only it wasn't."

What the fuck was he talking about? We rarely get attacked by rogues. Other alphas know to steer clear of my pack. Unless they somehow found out that we were weakening.

"What do you mean?" I push to get the answers that were nagging at me.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I could feel Sadie's eyes on my back, but right now what Gabriel was telling me was more important.

"I've never seen creatures like those. Their speed, their strength and their aura are like nothing I've ever witnessed before. It was nearly impossible to defeat them."

Racking my head, I try to think of

n

anything or any creature I've read in the old texts while trying to come up with a solution for the curse, but there isn't. The supernatural only consists of three creatures. There has never been mention of any new species.

Gabriel continues, his voice hoarse. "We didn't even make a dent in their small army. Personally I think they came to test our strength. After they literally wiped the ground with our faces, they left. The didn't take anything, didn't kill anyone, or demand anything. They simply left as they came. They smelled like werewolves and some like vampires. I'm not really sure, I was just too focused on keeping the pack alive."

"And you've never encountered such creatures, before?" I ask, feeling panic course through my body.

"Never." He simply states.

Running a hand through my hair, I start pacing the room. Sadie is quiet the whole time and that does nothing to ease my anxiety.

Like I said, I feel like the goddess is punishing me for my crimes against Sadie. Otherwise, why does it seem like things started falling apart the moment I unjustly imprisoned her?

There are those that believe that the goddess always punishes those that betray or hurt their mates. I didn't know Sadie was my mate back then, but she was innocent. Karma was truly a fucking bitch.

"I don't want to bring this up and

worry you more, Alpha Alec, but the pack needs its alpha. The wounded aren't healing, and other members have started noticing. Your presence may not do much, but maybe it can give them the strength to fight. Especially for those who are in ICU's."

Fuck it! Can this get any worse?
