Chapter 0082


    Sadie.


    Waking up this morning, I felt like I hadn’t gotten any sleep the whole night. I was tired, my eyes felt


    dry, and I had a headache to end all headaches.


    Is it wrong that I wish Alec had never stepped foot in my pack? Everything that has happened


    started when he came here. Before, though I was still in hiding, my life was peaceful. Then Alec got


    here. For whatever reason, everything blew in my face.


    “Do you regret the changes? The power you got?” Nyx asked while I was getting ready for yet


    another day where Alec was still in my pack.


    “I don’t know” I’d replied honestly. “I feel like these powers will interrupt the simple life I’ve built. I


    feel that with powerse with a destiny I’m not sure I’m ready for. Sure, it’s good that I have them


    because now I can protect, my pack, friends and family better, but I just don’t know.”


    I’m not afraid to say that I was scared out of my mind. Things were changing right before my eyes,


    and I didn’t like some of the changes. I’d thought the goddess was done with toying with my life like


    a damn ser ball, but I was wrong.


    Why would she make Alec my mate? It would have been different three years ago before he


    shattered me. I would have been ecstatic about the news before, when I was madly in love with


    him, but not now. Not after everything he put me through.


    Pushing those thoughts to the back of my head, I finished getting ready and went to Aspen’s room.


    By the time we were done yesterday with Alec, she was already asleep and I didn’t want to wake


    her up.


    “Morning, my Love” I said as I walked up to her bed.


    She sat up while rubbing her eyes to clear sleep, “Good morning, mommy.”


    After giving her a kiss, I walked to the windows and opened the curtains to let in the morning light.


    “Do you want me to pick an outfit for you?” I asked.


    When she nodded her head, I walked to her closet and opened it. Aspen loved to explore. Her


    curiosity about everything and anything, reminds me so much of Piper sometimes.


    Pulling a pink t-shirt with unicorns on them, ck leggings and a pair of t shoes, I helped her get


    ready. When I’m done, I help her wash her face, brush her teeth and hair, before pulling her thick


    hair into pigtails.


    “You didn’te yesterday like you’d promised” she said pouting as we walked to the kitchen for


    breakfast.


    “I’m sorry baby, what I was doing took longer than expected and by the time I was done you were


    already asleep” I exined, feeling terrible that I didn’t read her a book.


    “Promise me that we’ll have dinner together today and you’ll read me a story before I sleep.”


    “I promise”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    I assured her.The smile that broke off on her lips, eased something inside me. Everything I’ve done


    so far has been because of her. Has been to protect her and keep her safe. I would do anything for


    my little miracle (I call her that because, despite the torture I went through, she still survived),


    including going head-to-head with Alec.


    After we are done, we are done with breakfast, and she’s off to start her day. I go to the training


    room.


    “You need to work on your right hook, Brandon,” I told one of my warriors. “You’re left-handed and I


    get you favor that hand, but that doesn’t mean you neglect your right hand. You can’t always fight


    with your left hand.”


    King and I usually work with the werewolves and vampires, while Raven trains the witches.


    Compared to other packs, we are at an advantage since we have all supernatural species.


    When he nodded his head, Imanded him to continue. I stayed training them for a bit before I


    ended the training session.


    I asked King to join me in the office, while I sent another member to go call Raven. Minutester, I’m


    seated at my office desk with King and Raven joining me.


    “We have a lot to discuss” I simply said and they both nodded.


    When I got the idea to start our own pack. One that we would be safe in, and one that would also


    give banished wolves, witches and vampires a home to call their own, I didn’t really count on being


    the alpha.


    From experience I knew that not all of the banished were horrible people. I also knew that even


    though there are those that havemitted crimes, they deserved a chance especially if they were


    remorseful. Good thing we have Raven, who is really good at reading people.


    When I was chosen as the alpha, I chose King as my beta and Raven as my gamma. After all, it


    wouldn’t have been possible without the help and encouragement.


    “Sadie?” Raven’s voice pulled me back to reality.


    “I want to know the status of the hybrids.” I cleared my throat and spoke.
