Alpha transformative narrative Chapter 100

Chapter 100
Sighing I lean back against the bed. Like I said, this is the worst news, and I hate it. Nothing good has happened since we got here, and I was starting to wonder if this pack was really under a real curse, because it just doesn’t make sense why I’ve only been receiving bad news since I got here.
“Did they say anything else?” I asked, feeling the pounding of my head increase.
Where was the *d*n nurse? Didn’t the doctor say she would be here in a minute or so? My hand was killing me.
I like the way humans portray us in their novels as these invincible creatures who are only defeated by death, but let’s be real. We are not invincible, and we do feel pain. It’s a b**h.
“Nothing,” Alec answered, pulling me back to the present. “They said they were doing some investigation, and it was confidential until they heard our side of the story. I told them we couldn’t come in because you were hurt, so they suggested coming to us.”
I was never afraid of human cops. They were easy to fool because most of them were lazy and didn’t really want to get involved in cases. Especially if it is complex. Look at how many people go missing and they do nothing about it. They simply tell you that they must have been tired of home and will come back when they are ready. Well, that is until someone turns up dead. Everyone is shocked, but the police didn’t do anything when they went missing in the first place.
Like I said, I am not worried about them. What I am worried about, though, is the council. If this reaches them, then they will be breathing down on us, and with no proof of the existence of hybrids, there will be a lot of chaos.
I know what you are thinking. I am powerful now; I don’t have to be afraid of a bunch of old men. True, but you remember what I told you about these men, right? Can you imagine what would happen if they found out that there was a woman out there more powerful than them? Yes, that’s right. I’ll be hunted, and so will everyone I love.
They’ll want to make me bow to them, and that is something that will never happen. Why the hell do you think no one except my pack knows that the Alpha of The Hope Pack is a woman? I didn’t just hide it because of Alec. I also hid it because of the council of b**s. I didn’t want a war, and that’s exactly what would happen if they found out, and I refused to surrender to them.
For now, my powers remain a secret. It’s what is best for everyone I care about, including my pack. You think Alec is bad? You haven’t met the twelve members of the council.
“Sadie?”
“Sorry. I zoned out a bit.” I mumbled, shaking my head to get myself to focus on the current issue. “So, they’ll be coming here? Don’t you think that’s a bit risky?”
He rolls his eyes at me. Can you actually believe that? Alec Ashford, a whole Alpha Male, rolled his eyes at me as if he were a child.
“I’m not that s**d. I gave them an address to one of my houses in town. Which reminds me, we will need to be there tomorrow for them to take our statements.”
The quicker we take care of this, the better.
“Fine,” I answered. “And the bodies?”
“You were right. They revert to the original species once they die. One was a vampire, and the other was a wolf. The bodies were brought back to the pack and cremated so they would not leave any evidence.”

“Good… And Raven? I haven’t seen her since I woke up.”
“Apparently she left after you left, and no one has seen her sincer
That’s strange. She wouldn’t have disappeared like that. Maybe something is wrong. I’ll wait till evening before I begin hunting her down.
***
I pace the room, anxiety eating at my insides. We had just arrived at Alec’s house a few minutes ago. It’s a large six-bedroom mansion set on acres of land among the rich and affluent. If I wasn’t so worried, I would have appreciated how good the house looked.
It was a bit cold, but maybe because there was nothing of personal value in it. It was just a house, not a home.
“This is where I escape too when I need to be alone and away from the pack,” he said when I asked him why his house was on the opposite side of the pack.
If I were me from before, I would have been jumping at the idea of turning this house into a home. Just the idea of bringing warmth to it would have made me all giddy. I wasn’t that girl though… and right now I can’t even imagine a life with Alec as my mate, let alone turning this cold house into an inviting warmth.
“Will you stop pacing? It’s giving me a headache,” Alec demanded in a taut voice.
“I can’t. I’m worried about Raven.”
She didn’t come home yesterday. As if that wasn’t worrying enough, Raven wasn’t picking up her phone either. I tried reaching out to her through my newly discovered mind-link powers, but it didn’t work. Either it doesn’t work when someone isn’t in proximity or something terrible has happened to her.
“She’s probably fine,” Alec said, waving his hand dismissively.
“What if she’s not? Those hybrids were after me yesterday. It might be because I’ve been hunting them, and their leader sent them to capture me. What if the same thing happened to Raven, but unlike us, she wasn’t able to fight them off?”
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. All sorts of scenarios played in my head, and none of them were good. My breath started coming in rapidly, and I felt like I was being suffocated.
I put my hand against my chest, trying to calm myself down, but nothing happened. I felt like something heavy was set on top of my chest. I couldn’t breathe.
I was so lost in my worry that I didn’t see Alec move. Without warning, he grabs me and pulls me against his chest. One of his hands is wrapped around my waist while the other is holding the back of my head. Gently, he pushes me forward so that my head is on his chest.
I try fighting him, but he doesn’t let me go. Eventually, I give up as the beat of his heart begins to calm me down. I close my eyes for a brief second and inhale his scent.
I can feel every inch of him. Every hard ridge of his body. Alec was taller than I was, so my head just touched his chest, unlike Lola, who was tall enough to reach his neck.
The need to wrap my hand around his waist and stay in his arms is riding me hard. I also can’t ignore the urge to reach up on my toes and seal our mouths together.
The bond comes to life, this close to each other. It’s needs demanding to be fulfilled.

Alec’s hand around my waist tightens, pushing us closer together. Closer than we were a few seconds ago. He places his chin on top of my head, and I feel him inhaling my scent.
For a minute, I forget what has happened between us, and I get lost in the moment. Get lost in the feel of his body against mine and his hand around my waist. I get lost in the ‘what could have been’ as I drown in all that is Alec Ashford.
I melt in his arms as I give in to the demands of the bond for the first time since we learned that we were mates.
I close my eyes for a brief second. The moment I do, though, flashes of the past enter my mind, reminding me that Alec isn’t the same man I built my dreams and hopes around.
F**k. What the hell was I doing? Why was I allowing him to hold me like this?
I aggressively pushed him away. He wasn’t prepared for my actions, so he stumbles a little bit, but releases me. I pull away, breathing hard, trying to clear my head from the spell that had been cast on me.
“Sadie?”
I raise my finger, indicating to him to give me a minute. When I calm down, I pull myself together before facing him. “Don’t ever touch me like that ever again, Alec.”
“You are my mate, Sadie? How can I not touch you?” he asked, advancing on me while I took steps back.
“Touch me? Remember how you were disgusted by my touch when you realized we slept together? And mate? You had a mate, Alec… Or have you forgotten that you told me Lola.was the love of your life, and you wouldn’t touch me with a pole even if she wasn’t in the picture?”
“I believed she was my mate. What the hell was I supposed to do? I believed I betrayed her with you. How would you woke up and learned you slept with someone else? Someone who wasn’t your mate, and in doing so, you hurt the one
you feel if you were in love with?”
I do get it. If things were different and Alec and I got together. It would have shattered me to realize he had slept with another woman a few days before our mating ceremony. The old me wouldn’t have retaliated in the way he did, but it would have hurt the same.
“That’s not the point,” I told him, taking more steps away from him. “The reason you want me now is because of the mate bond and what I can do for your pack. You never wanted me before. Hell, you never gave me the time of day. I am still the same woman I was back then, so it’s a bit pretentious for you to want me now, when you didn’t back then.”
He stops in his tracks. “So, you’re telling me that what I feel right now isn’t real.”
“Yes. You don’t get over the love of your life easily, let alone fall for the one woman that you could never stand. The one woman you were never attracted to. Whatever you are feeling is courtesy of the bond. Once you accept the rejection, it’ll fade away, and you won’t have to pretend anymore.”
Something moves in his eyes, but I ignore it, refusing to dive into what it is. I don’t want to see the truth in them.
“And what about you?” he surprises me by asking. “Are your feelings towards me also because of the mate bond?”
“My feelings don’t matter, here.”
“And why the hell not?” he demanded. “You are good at telling me what I feel is courtesy of the bond, yet you don’t want me to dive into your feelings?”
I sighed, already tired of this conversation. “What do you want from me, Alec? I loved you; is that what you want to hear? I did. I loved you, and you shattered me. The love I had for you died in the dungeons three years ago. I feel nothing for you

“I see,” he breathed in a husky voice.

Deep down, I know it’s a total lie, but I won’t admit it. I refuse to. This is for the best. Whatever I felt for Alec is buried deep down in the darkest depths of my soul, and I refuse to revive it.
We stay in silence. Well, that is until the silence is interrupted by a sharp knock on the door.
