Alec”
Boss?” The familiar voice pulled me from the edge of darkness.
I came to consciousness with a start. I was lying on the floor, and so was Jason. I looked up Bret, a vampire and one of my best bodyguards.
“What the hell happened?” I growled, slowly standing up.
to find
F**k, my head hurt like a f***g b**h. Taking a seat on one of the waiting chairs, I massage my temples, trying to ease the pounding in my head. It felt like an entire circus was using my head as a practice hall.
“I don’t know,” Bret replied, “I came up here to discuss something and found both of you on the floor.”
Jason was unsteady on his legs as he also got up. The look of pain and confusion on his face was an indication that he was also in the same state as me.
I spread my legs and leaned my hands on my knees, while trying to remember what the hell had happened. There are very few people who can best me. The blood that covered my hands caught my attention, and I stared at it, wondering who it belonged to.
It doesn’t take long before the memories from earlier crash into me.
“That f***g b****h!” I snarled, standing up, completely p**d.
I can’t believe she came here, and, as if that wasn’t enough, she had the audacity to try and pin someone else’s baby on me.
I pace around the floor and shove my hand in my hair, messing it up in the process. I was agitated and on edge. Did she honestly think that if she tried to pin someone else’s baby, I would pardon her? That I would feel sorry for her and lift the banishment? She was so fucking wrong!
“Find her!” I shouted, “Find that b**h, Sadie, and bring her to me.”
He knew who I meant. Everyone that worked here knew with my sister.
who Sadie was, she used to stop by
Brett scrambles to do as I say. My alpha command made him submit to me even though he wasn’t my species. It always left me intrigued that I could somehow command vampires. No other Alpha had that effect on them, but for some weird reason, they submitted to me as if I were their master.

Chapter 11
The moment he’s gone, I stomp to my office, with Jason following behind me.
“She had help from a witch,” Jason said, stating the obvious.
Now that he remembers what happened, he’s as livid and p**d off as I am.
“I **g know that.” I snarled at him and pinned him with a deadly stare.

Jason pulled his eyes from mine and showed me his neck as a sign of surrender. Both he and his wolf knew that I was p**d off, and they also knew it was not a good idea to agitate an already angry alpha. He is my Beta and one of my best friends, but I was still his Alpha. He had to submit to me.
Walking to my desk, I grabbed my laptop and turned it in my direction.
“What are you doing?” Jason asked, coming to stand next to me as I clicked some buttons.
“I want to know how the hell she got in without anyone noticing, because if anyone willingly let them in, there is going to be hell to pay.”
We watched silently from the start. She and the witch were standing outside the building. Sadie looked nervous and unsure, while the witch looked confident. I watch as she gives her what I assume is a pep talk. They then walk in and nobody notices a thing. Some even bow to them, probably thinking that they were clients.
My anger spikes even more when I watch them heading to the underground section. Sadie inputs the code for my private elevator, and they walk inside it.
I should have changed that damn code, especially knowing that Piper must have shared it with her. In my defense, I never thought Sadie would have the balls to show up here. That was a miscalculation on my part that I don’t plan on making again.
We watch the rest of the video until it shows them leaving the premises in a hurry.
I shut the laptop down and started pacing. I was pi**ed off and so was Knox. He wanted blood. He wanted a chance at killing the woman who destroyed our chances at having a mate. I can’t say I blame him. I wanted the same f**g thing.
“Do you recognize the witch?” I asked Jason as I tried my f**g best to calm down.
I didn’t know her, but she was powerful. Only a few powerful witches were able to take down a full- grown Alpha Wolf. I knew all the most powerful witches and covens and I had them in my pocket.
He frowns and shakes his head. “No, I don’t.”

What’s most shocking is that this witch looks to be around Sadie’s and Piper’s age. Most of the powerful witches were old-timers who spent decades practicing and honing their powers. The fact that she’s this young meant that there was still time for her to grow even more powerful and maybe even have a coven of her own. Too bad she is now on my shit list because of helping Sadie.
Which also makes me wonder how Sadie got such a powerful ally. What did she promise in return, because I’m damn sure she has no money to pay her?
A knock on my door came minutes later.
I looked up to find that Brent had returned. I nodded for him to enter, and he did.
“Sorry, Boss, but we couldn’t find her… She was nowhere to be seen, and there was no scent to follow.”
A growl slips past my lips as I momentarily let Knox have control. Both Jason and Brent take a step back, fear etched in their eyes.
I wanted to hunt her down. My hatred for her just increased after what she tried to do today. I am a damn Alpha. I think I would have sensed my own pup if, indeed, she was carrying my child. It was simple as that. That is why I didn’t believe the f**g b**ch.
I was about to leave, so I could go for a walk when a thought crossed my mind. I immediately calmed down.
My pack may be weakening, but it was still one of the Elite packs. The title Elite is given to packs that are strong and powerful. There were only five of us in the entire world, and ours dominated the northern region. I was the head of Elite Alphas, so my word was law. I was also recognized by covens and vampire clans because they knew I wasn’t an enemy they would want.
A grin begins to form as the plan takes shape. Sadie turned my life upside down and made it a living. hell. I was going to return the favor.
Most banished wolves aren’t allowed to join a pack, but they are usually left alone.
“Send word to every f**g pack, coven, and clan,” I began.
“What word, Alec?” Jason asked, and his voice was a mix of fear and curiosity.
“Tell them Sadie Evans is deemed a traitor and should be killed on the spot if anyone sights her,” I answered, feeling my tension and that of Knox fade away. “Spread the word that anyone who delivers me her dead body will be greatly rewarded; anyone found helping her or siding with her will perish by my hands. The one who helped her and their family. Am I clear?”

They nod and bow their heads. I turned and walked out of my office, desperately in need of a run.

I wanted to kill her myself, but she proved to be lucky. Anyway, it didn’t matter that I wasn’t the one to kill her; as long as she was dead, and the world was rid of her, then that’s enough for me.
Only when Sadie is dead will Knox and I find peace and only then will we be avenged.
