Alec’s

Sade 

Raven was able to help us escape without anyone realizing a thing. With a simple spell, she was able to conceal our scents and create an illusion, which changed our appearance. No one would know it was me, even if I stood in front of them. 

We break through the forest, and I breathe a sigh of relief. The tension that had gripped me melted away. Nothing but sorrow and pain remained. 

“You okay?” Rave asked, her face conveying the worry she had for me. 

How was I supposed to answer her? Was I okay? Definitely not. Not by a long shot. Everything had gone to hell, and I didn’t know how to deal with that. I didn’t know how to process everything that happened or everything that I was feeling. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

I’m still trying to come to terms with the fact that Alec almost killed me. I told him I was pregnant, yet he didn’t care. Let’s take the fact that this baby is his out of the equation. It meant Alec was ready to end my life, even after knowing that I was carrying another life. What kind of person does that? Only a monster, and this is the proof I needed to hammer it into my head that Alec Ashford is a fucking 

monster. 

“Sadie?” Her voice pulls me away from my thoughts and misery. 

“I’m not okay, Raven, but I will be.” I answered her previous question. “Maybe not today or tomorrow, but I’m going to be okay.” 

She nods her head, and we continue walking. 

How do you cope, honestly? Is there a manual that can guide someone on how to pick up their lives after the man they loved and the father of their baby almost ended your life and that of your unborn baby? I don’t know where to go from here. 

Parts of me held out hope despite everything that happened. Despite the torture and his brutality, some small part of me still thought that Alec was good. That he was just hurting and seeking revenge for losing his mate. Now, though, I know it’s nothing but a lie. 

I should have trusted the rumors about how cruel he is. Today just proved that Alec is worse than the devil. Today scraped away all my illusions. It made me see him for who he really is. Today, all the love I had for Alec died when he plunged his hand into my chest, intending to rip out my heart. 

Something trips me, and I fall down. Tears were running down my face as my heart broke into a 

thousand pieces I could barely see in front with the amount of tears I was shedding. The reality of what almost happened today crashes into me, and I shatter right there on the forest floor, 

“Sadie!” Raven screamed my name and rushed towards me. She tries to pull me up, but I remain kneeling on the ground. I didn’t have the energy to move. 

Everything I’ve been holding back rushes to the surface, tearing me to pieces in the process. I couldn’t hold back my screams, pain, and anguish. 

I hate Alec, and I hate the moon goddess for allowing this to happen to me. How could I move on? How will I move past this? I not only had physical scars but also mental and emotional ones. My heart and soul will always be marred, and it’s all because of Alec and his damn pack. Well, all of them 

except Him 

“Let it all out, darling, I’m here for you,” Raven whispered while rubbing my back in comfort. 

1 let go, just like she’d told me. I release the pent–up frustration and anger. I let go of the pain and let it flow out of me. I hold on to Raven as my pain consumes my entire body. My nails dig into her skin as i use her as my anchor to the present. 

I cry until there are no more tears. I’m left heaving, feeling as if I were being torn into two and my heart and chest were being crashed. I breathe through my mouth because it’s nearly impossible to breathe through my nose, which was stuffed. 

“Come on, let’s go home,” she tells me once I’m quiet. 

Helping me up, she supported my weight since my legs felt like jelly. She silently leads us home, and all the while I try to pull myself together. I’ve had my cry, it’s now time to wipe my tears, dust myself, and move forward. For the sake of my baby, I needed to move on. 

About forty minutes later, we got home, 

Raven helps me get on the thin bed. 

“Have a rest while I go look for Beth. Maybe she can give you something to relax.” She doesn’t give me. a chance to oppose the suggestion before she’s out of the door. 

I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to imagine what the future held for me and my baby. I was trying to hold on to any kind of hope, but it was hard when I had an enemy like Alec targeting me. 

The supernatural community knew of him, and for some reason he was treated like a damn royalty. He could make my life difficult if he chose to, and that’s what scared me. 

A noise outside pulls me from my thoughts.

Were Beth and Raven already back? 

I slowly got off the bed and stood up on shaky legs. Before I could take another step, the door burst open, and a man I didn’t know rushed in. I don’t get time to react or do anything. First, because I was surprised, and second, because I was still weak. 

He moves so quickly that he’s nothing but a blur. 

A scream tears itself from the depths of my throat as his fangs sink into my neck. 

I immediately knew what he was. No one needed to tell me that I’d just been attacked by a vampire. 

Fuck, can my life get any worse?
