Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 348

I pick Aspen up and grab Martha, pulling her somewhere more quiet.

“I’m sure you’ve already heard what has happened. Take Aspen,” I tell her without preamble. “Take her back to our pack.”

Martha’s eyes widen. “Sadie—”

“Please,” I say, my voice cracking just enough to let her hear how serious I am. “Shit is about to hit the fan, and I need her safe.”

Her eyes widen. “You look like you’re about to burn the world down.”

“If that’s what it takes to bring him back.”

She nods immediately. “I’ll protect her with my life.”

I put Aspen down and kneel in front of her, brushing her curls back gently.

“You’re going to go with Martha for a little while, okay?” I say softly.

Her lower lip trembles. “But, I want to stay here with you.”

“I know, sweetheart,” I whisper, pulling her into my arms. “But we have a lot of pack business to handle, so you need to go with Martha.”

She clings to me, sobbing. “You promise you’ll come for me after you’re done being busy?”

I press a kiss to her forehead, my throat burning. “I promise, my love.”

She nods. “Okay, tell Uncle Alec I’ll miss him.”

That almost destroys me. “I will.”

I watch them leave before turning away, my hands shaking. Then I follow the council.

Micah, Raven, and I get there an hour or so later. I don’t even remember the drive. My focus was solely on Alec and getting him back.

The Council’s headquarters sits on the edge of a pristine, heavily guarded pack. Small, elite, and isolated from the real world. Stone walls.

The twelve council members are usually backed by around twenty subordinates and a ton of guards.
