Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0020

"This is where I say goodbye." Beth tells us with tears in her eyes. "May the deities be with you."

I smile, fighting my own tears. "The moon goddess left me long ago... but thank you for taking me in and watching over me. I owe you and Raven my life, and I've come to love you as family."

"Your goddess will always be with you, in mind, body and spirit, my dear."

She hugs me, and I hug her back before she does the same with Raven.

Thank you for all that you've done for me, Beth. You've been my family since my mother passed away." Raven sobbed, her heartache clear,

They've been together for a couple of years, so it's understandable that they would have a strong bond.

"I love both of you and the tiny one growing inside you, Sadie," she said before facing us. "Now go. Once things are settled, I will communicate

She gently pushes us, and we cross the threshold. I wanted to ask how we would communicate, seeing that none of us had a phone. Before I could do that, though, she'd already turned and was already walking in the opposite direction.

"Let's go." Raven urged me.

It was painful, but there was no time for tears and lengthy goodbyes. If my baby and I were to survive, we needed to get moving.

I give the place one last look before

turning and leaving. The future was uncertain, but I was going to do everything to survive. I was going to get strong and make sure that no one would ever hurt me again. That's a promise. As for Alec, I hoped that he and his pack would burn in hell.

I had to hurry up. Time was not on my side.

Once I made sure I was out of sight, I levitated to my house. This human body is old, and the fact that I walked Raven and Sadie to the threshold had already tired me out.

It doesn't take long before I get there, and when I do, I immediately set to work. I pulled out the werewolf body I had stashed in the shed.

Don't look at me like that. The woman was evil. Kidnapping children and torturing them to satisfy her own sick fantasies. The world is a better place without her, and no one will miss her.

I drain all the blood from her body before replacing it with Sadie's.

I haven't done this in a long time, and my power isn't as strong as it was before. Someone close to me bound me to earth. This essentially weakened me because I wasn't meant to stay on earth.

She wanted to punish me and, at the same time, take my rightful place. She did punish me, but she wasn't able to take my place. My throne rejected her because she wasn't worth it. I still smile, remembering the look on her face when she realized she wouldn't be in control. Shaking myself from those thoughts, I focused on the matter at hand.

Using the blood Sadie gave me, I manipulate it so that it integrates into the woman's body, replacing her DNA with that of Sadie. Once that's done, I contort her body to look like Sadie's. Her face, build, eyes, and hair color. When I'm done, she looks exactly like Sadie, and even when they perform a DNA test, it will show she's Sadie. I release a breath and wipe my forehead. I was tired by the time I was done. I haven't done this in millennia, and since I'm not at full power, it has drained me.

After taking a few minutes to recover, I infuse power into the body, and it floats alongside me as I levitate. Once I get to my destination, I leave the body there for someone to find. Whoever finds it will alert Alec.

As I left, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Alec. He had no idea what destiny held for him or the powers that were at play. He thinks his loss of Lola is because of Sadie. He doesn't realize that this is bigger than him. That this is bigger than Sadie. He doesn't know that this is part of a centuries-old feud.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Oh well, I can't tell him that because that would mean changing the wheels of time and the future.

One thing is clear, though, Sadie is the answer, and she needs to be protected at all costs.
