Alpha Alec's Redemption

"Did she tell you why she wanted you to drug the alpha?"

He shakes his head. "No, but the alpha wasn't my only target. She told me to make sure that both you and the alpha have the drinks."

What the hell?

"Me? What did I have to do with her plans?"

"I don't know. She just told me to wait until you two were together before giving you the drinks."

All this time, I thought that Alec was the target, and I was the unfortunate victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, he's telling me that I was targeted by this woman, but why?

What was her end game? What did she benefit by paying someone to drug us? And how was she sure that Alec and I would end up seated at the bar together?

"How did you meet her?" Alec asks, his voice distorted.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"She's the one that found me. I'm alone wolf. I love my life, but it isn't easy trying to live as a human and making ends meet. So I started doing odd jobs when I almost exposed myself while working as a bartender in a human club. Trading information, spying, following cheating mates to get proof, that kind of thing. I didn't go looking for her, she's the one that found me."

Even though lone wolves aren't usually a danger, they aren't allowed to work in werewolf establishments. Most werewolf businesses are owned by packs and, since lone wolves gave up pack life, they can't work for them. It would beat the point.

"And why would you agree to work for her knowing you were going against an alpha?" I just didn't get it honestly. Everyone knows never to cross an alpha. Especially someone like Alec.

"At first, I didn't agree, but then she said she'd pay me really well and that she'd make sure I'm never caught."

"How much was she offering?" this comes from Alec.

"A million dollars" Calvin's answer makes me gasp in shock.

Fuck, that was a lot of money. I can see why he risked going against Alec.

"I bet you didn't count on your mate being the sister of the same alpha you betrayed," I mock and smile in satisfaction when he winces at my words.

"No, I didn't. It was supposed to be

easy and it was. She didn't give me a lot of details. Just that I had to make sure both of you drank. She's the one that gave me the drug. She told me it doesn't have a scent, so the alpha wouldn't be able to smell it. All I had to do was show up at the party that was being held for his mate and do as was told. She paid me the next morning. I left and never saw her again."

The fact that he knew the party was for Alec's mate, and he still came, brings forth something dark inside me.

I was grateful for the truth but, there

te

were still a lot of unanswered questions. get if it were an alpha that had approached him. A lot of the alphas would benefit if Alec lost his mate and turned feral, but a woman? A strange woman that veiled her face, what would she benefit? Unless she was a witch and was working for an alpha.

There will be time think things through later, when I'm alone. "Thank you" I face Calvin.

"For what?"

"For making this so much easy," I reply with a smile. "You've just proved to me how selfish you are. You accepted the job because of the money, not really caring that you'd be ruining three lives that day Today is the day of your reckoning."

It was time for my fun.
