Alpha Alec's Redemption

“Would it be so bad to let go of the old Sadie?” Nyx asked, popping into my consciousness.

It took a while to get used to sharing my body with her, but eventually, it got easier.

“Why?” She seemed genuinely curious. “I mean, I don’t want to come off as cold and heartless, but the old you was nice. Too nice, in fact. Haven’t you ever heard of the saying, Nice girls finish last? Let’s face it, Sadie, you were weak and didn’t have a backbone. That’s why you were an easy target for whoever set you up.”

I wanted to argue with her, but I could also see the truth in her words. I was always nice, even to those who treated me like trash. I was nice to Alec, even when he treated me like I didn’t exist. Even for the girls who bullied and talked trash about how I dressed, how fat I was, and how ugly I was, I still went out of my way to be nice to them.

When anyone in the pack needed help, I would be the first to volunteer to help. I was kind to everyone, and where the hell did that get me? In the f**g dungeon, being tortured while the same f**g people I went out of my way to help turned on me.

Thinking about it just p**s me off even more. The anger and hatred I feel feeds the darkness and coldness that are growing inside.

“You need to cast out that nice attitude if you want to survive what’s coming. I’m not saying that you should be completely heartless, but you can balance being kind and having a backbone. Be strong- willed and never ever let anyone walk all over you,” Nyx pushes a mental image of what she means.

I get it, and I was about to tell her the same when I felt liquid rushing down my legs.

“Did you just pee on yourself?” I looked up to find King looking at me in disgust.

“No, you idiot, her water just broke,” Raven replied while hitting him on the back of his head.

I’ve been feeling cramps since yesterday, but I kept ignoring the discomfort. Looking back now, I should have known it was a sign that I was about to go into labor.

“Come, let’s get you comfortable,” Raven said softly, guiding me to my bedroom.

We’ve already talked about this. We decided I wouldn’t give birth in the hospital since it was too risky. Luckily, Raven knew what she was doing, having helped Beth deliver a few babies.

She helped me lie down on the bed, and after that, things happened so quickly that my head was left. spinning.

“Come on, Sadie, give me one last push,” Raven pleaded, hours later.

“I can’t. It’s too painful, and I’m tired.” I couldn’t help the tears that fell down my face.

“You can, and you will, now push, Sadie, so I can meet my pup… or do you want Alec to win because our child died during labor?” Nyx’s frustration was evident.

Remembering how Alec almost killed me and my baby gives me strength. I won’t let my baby die, nor will I let Alec have the last laugh.

I planted my legs on the bed, rose up a little, and gave one last push. I feel as my baby slips from within me and seconds later, I hear the sweet cry of my baby.

“It’s a girl,” Raven shouted in happiness and joy.

I slumped against the pillows just as the door opened and King walked in. He headed straight towards me.

“You did well, Mama” he said while kissing my sweaty forehead.

I cried at that because if things had been different, Alec was the one who should have been here with me.

Seeing this, King whispered, “Shh, it’s okay. It will be okay.”

“Here is your little angel.” Raven walked to me and handed me my crying baby girl.

She immediately stopped crying when she was in my hand. She looked exactly like me. I ran my finger down her cheek, making her open her eyes. I gasp when she does, because she has the same intense green eyes as her father.

“What are you going to name her?” Raven asked.

After thinking for a while, I said the name I’d decided on, if it was a girl.

“Aspen…She’s my Aspen.”

“A beautiful name for a beautiful girl,” King said, kissing her forehead so tenderly that it made me want to cry.

I looked at my friends and am so glad that they are here with me. That I wasn’t alone as I delivered the best gift the moon goddess has ever given me.

“Now that our pup has been safely delivered, the real work begins.” Nyx sald, staring adoringly at our baby through my eyes. “You have to start training… An intense one at that. You have to be prepared for what’s coming.” 

I didn’t know what her last sentence meant, but she was right. I had a daughter to protect and look after. It was time to get strong. After all, I couldn’t hide forever.
