Chapter 0021
Alec
Present day
“Are you sure?” I asked, standing up. My mood had already lifted, and I felt much better.
Something passed in Micah’s eyes, but it was gone before I could read it.
“Yes,” he gritted out through clenched teeth. “Someone has confirmed that it is indeed her”
I remain quiet, studying my g**a. Why the hell did I sense some hostility from him? Anyway, it didn’t f**g matter. Not when the woman who had caused me so much pain had been eradicated from the world.
I hear a s**b behind me. I turn, finding Piper sobbing softly. I’d completely forgotten that she’s there. That this was a dear friend we were talking about.
“Please tell me it isn’t true, Micah,” she begs as tears silently fall down her face.
I feel for her, but not as much as I should. I’d wanted Sadie dead for her crimes against me. I’d wanted her to pay for costing me my mate and the solution to my pack. For me, this was the best f**g news. I felt vindicated.
My only **g regret is that I’m not the one who got to put the b**h down. It would have been so f**g nice if I’d been the last face she saw before she died.
“I’m sorry, Pip, but it’s true,” Micah answers, his eyes downcast.
Piper cries more, her heart breaking right in front of me. “She betrayed Alec, but I didn’t want her dead.”
pull her into my arms and hold her as she continues crying. I felt like a f**g hypocrite. I was holding my sister while trying to comfort her, yet deep down I was rejoicing that the f***g b**h is dead.
“You didn’t want her dead, but Alec did, and since his word is law in our world, the others jumped to fulfill it,” Micah snarls, completely shocking me.
He seemed angry, and I couldn’t understand why. Sure, he wasn’t among the ones that tortured Sadie, but he’s my f**g G**a. He should be on my f**g side.
With that, he turns around and stomps away.
Pip, who’d been lying on my chest, pulls away and looks at me in shock.
“What did you do, Alec?” she asked in a whisper.
I don’t say anything. I f**g loved my sister with all my heart. I didn’t want to hurt her, and I knew that she would be hurt. Despite everything that went down, she was still attached to Sadie. Yes, she hurt her when she hurt me, but she didn’t stop caring about her friend.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“What the f**k did you do?” she screamed.
I grit my teeth in irritation. She was the only one who got away with shouting at me like that. If it were any other person, that **t would have earned them a good beating or a trip to the dungeons.
Instead of answering, I turn around and storm off. I didn’t need to justify my actions. I didn’t need to explain myself to anyone. Sadie deserved this for ruining my chances with my mate.
What did Pip think? That banishment would be enough after she escaped. She was naïve and dead. wrong.
“Alec!” She shouts my name.
I turned and glared at her. “What!”
“Tell me you didn’t order her to be killed. Please tell me.” She begs, but I can’t do that. I can’t lie to her.
“What the hell did you expect, Pip? She cost me my mate! Was I supposed to sit back and let her enjoy her f**g life? She needed to pay.” I take a deep breath.
You know me, Piper, no one, and I mean, no one crosses me and gets away with it.
After saying that, I turn. She calls my name, but I ignore her. I walk away. I didn’t want to get into it with my sister, but I also wouldn’t take back my stand. Sadie betrayed me and the pack; I just made sure that Karma got to her.
Jason? Arrange for Sadie’s body to be brought back. I mid-linked my beta.
