Chapter 54

Alec..

“You!” the words slip from my lips at the same time as Sadie says them.

My eyes stared at the man in shock. A man that I thought I’d never see again. A man that I’ve been searching for, for three f**g years.

I could never mistake him for anyone. Well, unless he had a f**g twin that we don’t know about. I’ve studied. the video footage over and over again trying to look for clues about who the f**k he was.

I knew his face like the back of my hand. I knew his body build. His hair color and his f*g v**oice.

Three f**g years. Three years of wanting, needing answers. Three years of torture, wondering why he would betray an alpha. Why he would work for an insignificant member of the pack to try and trap the alpha.

I’ve wondered over and over again what Sadie could have given him for him to drug me. She was an orphan. Her

him. parents were omegas. They simply had nothing, meaning Sadie didn’t have any kind of money to pay

My heart started speeding up as anger begun to flood my veins. I could hardly breathe as I thought of what I’d lost because of this p**k.

With a roar, I unleashed my anger as Knox came forward, ready to tear the b**d limb from limb. Before I can make a move though, Sadie moves and strikes.

Power unleashes from her, sending everyone in the room flying in different directions. Her aura suffocates even me. It’s nothing I’ve ever felt before and I don’t think I’ll ever get used it.

By the time I get up, Sadie had the f**r in a choke hold, against the opposite wall. The jeans and tight t-shirt she had on moments ago were no longer on her. Instead, they were replaced with white flowing dress with a golden rope around her waist and golden bands around her arms. She reminded me of those Greek goddesses that people always talked about.

“Do you have any f**g idea what your actions caused?” she growls, her voice a bit deeper and deadlier than her

normal one.

The b***d could barely speak given that Sadie was choking the s** out of him. His eyes bulged out and his face was turning red. He was a mountain of a man, yet Sadie held him off the ground with just one hand.

“What are you doing, Sadie?” Piper screams, but her words fall on deaf ears. Sadie looked completely lost in her

anger.

Wind picks up as she turns around and throws him, causing him to crash against a coffee table.

She turns to her beta, and threatens “Make sure nobody gets inside this room, I have a b**d to teach a lesson

before I kill him.”

King, as I came to know he’s called, nods, then steps out. Sadie turns her eyes back at the man just as he starts standing up. He has a cut on the head, and he was holding his side, wincing in pain.

What is your problem lady” he grits through clenched teeth. “Why the f**k would you attack me?”

‘Lady?” Sadie mocks. “Is that what you call women whose lives you ruined?”

“I don’t even know who the f**k you are” he yells, stepping over the broken glass of the coffee table.

Wait a f**g minute. He doesn’t know her? How could he not know the same f**g woman that paid him to drug me?

“You almost got me killed you f**g b**d!” Sadie lashes out as her powers intensifies sending everyone in the room to their knees. “But since you don’t remember me, let me introduce myself. My name is Sadie Evans. You pretended to be a bartender at a party, then gave me and the alpha drinks that were roofied. Does that ring a

bell?”

He frowns for a second. I see the moment it all becomes clear in his head. The moment realization hits me. He’s bravado disappears, and fear replaces it.

“What is she talking about?” Piper pulls my arm, a tremble in her voice.

“This is the bartender that drugged me,” I spat in anger and hatred.

I couldn’t take my eyes from him. Sadie’s powers were holding us down. I couldn’t fucking get up. Nobody could.

“It can’t be” Piper whispers beside me, the fear making me turn to look at her. “He is Calvin. My mate”

Her words send a shock wave throughout my body. Was the moon goddess this f**g cruel? Why would she make the man that colluded in drugging me, my sister’s mate?

F**k!

“How the **k did you not recognize the f***r?” I ground out, as my hands fisted at my sides.

“I didn’t know how he looked” Piper hisses, hysterically, almost in tears “You never showed me the f**g footage, so I had no idea who he was.”

I think back and realize that she was right. F**k! The next day after the incident, I showed Sadie the video, but never my sister.

A c**k pulls my attention from my sister and the s**t show that has become our lives. The f**r was on the floor,

with Sadie standing over him. Her fist raised.

She doesn’t stop there as she rains blow after blow. I wince. If I didn’t hate the b**d, I would have felt sorry for him. I know how f**g brutal Sadie’s hits are.

She the raises him by his collar, before sending him flying. He hits a wall and falls down groaning. I’m finally released from her powers, so I stand up. I also wanted my pound of flesh.

As I watch Sadie beat the s**t out of him, something nags me at the back of mind. Something about this whole. f**g thing doesn’t add up.

“Please stop her, she’s going to kill him” Piper begs beside me, clutching my arm in a vice grip, her nails digging into my skin.

“Why the f**k would I do that?” I ask, surprising her.

This was the same guy that drugged me. I was not going to step in and save his f**g a**

“Please” she begs, tears running down her face.

I turn and ignore her. Nobody f**g crosses me. Not even my sister’s f**g mate.

“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t end you right now?” Sadie asks, walking towards him.

She kneels down and grips his hair, wrenching his head backwards. He couldn’t answer. Every time he tried to; blood splattered from his mouth. He was beaten black and blue.

Sadie laughs. A menacing and cold laugh. “That’s right. There is no reason for you to live. I would have spared you! if the woman you called ‘Babe’ was still my friend, but she’s a backstabbing b**h and seeing her in pain at losing you will bring me unmeasurable joy.”

I clamp my jaw at the insult to Piper Piper, on the other hand, tenses. A gasp leaving her mouth at Sadie’s cruel words.

Sadie raises her hand, her claws out, ready to strike, but her friend stops her.

“Don’t kill him yet, Sadie” she tells her calmly, coming to stand behind her.

Sadie turns those glowing white eyes to her. “And why shouldn’t I?”

“Think about it, he has answers you’ve been searching for, for years. He clearly wasn’t working alone. We need to know why he drugged you and Alec and then framed you.”

Sadie is silent a while, thinking. Minutes later, she turns to him, giving him a sardonic smile I’m sure he can barely see, given his eyes are swollen shut.

“It’s your lucky day b**d. You get to live another day. Then again, I can’t say it will be a lucky stay because I plan on torturing you like I’d been tortured,” Sadie says before standing up. “Call one of the warriors, let them lock him in the dungeon.”

“Sadie please” Piper begs.

“Don’t call my f**g name!” Sadie snaps, her eyes narrowed as she glares at Piper. “If it’s too much for you to see him locked up, you can f**g join him. Maybe then I can give you a taste of the torture your f**g brother and pack put me through. Call it even.”

י

Piper gasps and I grip her hand in warning. I love my sister, there is no f**g way am I letting her end up in the dungeon.

Without another word and a look of hatred thrown at us, Sadie leaves. Disappearing into thin air.

The locked doors open. King enters with warriors, and they drag Calvin away while Piper remains at my side

crying.

She turns to me, her head on my chest as she hugs me tightly. I wrap my hands around her, and it’s then it hits me.

F**k. F**k. What if I was wrong this whole f**g time?
