Alec.
When I saw Micah’s car today, I never expected Sadie to be the one using it. I also never expected the day to end the way it did.
I had some business in town with some of the neighboring Alphas. I also went to my company to check how things were running, given that I had not been in the office for weeks. I trusted my officials, but it was also good to personally handle some things regarding my own company. I couldn’t just leave it in the hands of others.
I’d told my personal bodyguard to go back to the pack when I saw Micah’s Jeep. He was also my head warrior. I found it odd that Micah would be hanging out in a little ice cream shop, but I thought that either way I would catch a ride with him back to the pack. It was clear that Sadie was pissed and irritated when I invaded her space. For some reason though, I couldn’t leave her, even though she insisted that I should. Maybe it was the bond warning me or some shit like that, but I couldn’t leave her. I didn’t understand why. Not until she noticed hybrids following us.
Seeing her hurt did something to me. It twisted my heart in a painful way. I felt suffocated. Felt like I couldn’t breathe properly. I felt like I was dying just seeing her in pain. Her pain became mine, and all I could think about was how I was going to make her feel better. The bond pulled me to protect my mate, but I have to admit that both Knox and I wanted the same. Even without the bond between us pulling the strings. I wanted to be near her. I wanted to be surrounded by her scent. I wanted her in ways I couldn’t explain. Seeing what it is like with my fated mate made me realize just how things were off with Lola. Whatever bond existed between Lola and me was fake. That’s why things never felt this intense. If it weren’t for the fact that I fell for her, I doubt our relationship would have survived.
When the hybrids caught up to us, I thought it would be easy to get rid of them. Sadie was losing blood and becoming weak by the second. My focus was on dealing with the two bastards so that I could rush Sadie to the hospital.
I was the fearless Alpha Alec. Rogues trembled at my name. I have to admit that I underestimated the hybrids. Fighting with them was a different experience. They were faster and stronger. I doubt any of the vampires or alphas I’ve fought could compare. Well, except for Sadie. The way she brought him under her command even in a weakened state amazed me and left me in awe of her.
There is still the matter of her being able to mind-link me, but that doesn’t matter right now. What matters is getting her some help.
Sadie? I kneel next to her. I gently shake her and try to wake her up. Open your eyes.
They remain closed. I tap her cheeks, but still nothing happens. She doesn’t wake up. Shit. I need to get her to the hospital.
The car is this way, Jason points me in the direction, and I begin walking towards it.
You are bleeding; let me carry her, Micah voiced, stopping me in my tracks.
I snarl, both my agitation and that of Knox pushing me to the edge. Touch her, and I’ll cut off your fucking hands.
Fuck. I was going crazy. Batshit crazy. Even with Lola, I’ve never reacted this way. The thought of another man (even a friend) touching my mate while she’s hurt agitated me. Micah steps back with his hands raised up in surrender. He then bows slightly, a show of respect to his Alpha, and as a way to show that he had not meant any disrespect.
I resume my walk, not really bothered about anything else except Sadie. My warriors knew the drill. In a few minutes, there won’t be any evidence that there had been a killing there.
