It kills to know that's what she feels. It destroys my already shattered heart. How are you supposed to deal with your wolf hating you?" Piper" calls, and I turn to him with tears in my eyes. "Can you tell everything? How you found Sadie." I mutter, feeling completely drained and tired as hell. He nods, "Con, then, this isn't the place to talk." He gives me his hand, and after taking one last look at my mate, I turn and follow him. He led them through the dungeon, the packhouse, and finally outside. We walk for a couple of minutes until we find a small bench at the back of the house that was facing a beautiful pond. It was a bit chilly, even though the sun was already up in the sky. We take a seat, with both facing forward. Alec sighs before asking, "Where do you want to start?" "The beginning," I reply. "Sadie is my mate, and we have a three-year-old daughter." "W-what?" I stammer, in complete astonishment. Before I can get over the shock of his words, he proceeds to tell me everything. I mean everything. The words pour out of him and take me by surprise each and every time. When he is done, I stare at him in shock, my brain unable to function. I think he might have short-circuited it because I can't fucking think. The most shocking of all the things he told me is Sadie being the alpha of this pack. That's something I would never have predicted. "I can't imagine what you're going through, Alec," I whisper, my heart going to him. "You lost one mate, and now your second chance mate doesn't want anything to do with you." Why was the goddess doing this to us? Why was she messing up our lives in this manner? Alec's mate is the woman that despises him, while my mate is the man that destroyed both their lives. Was this her way of punishing us? Was this her way of giving Sadie justice for the shit we put her through? "Lola wasn't my mate, Piper," Alec says, pulling back from my thoughts. My brows furrow, and I look at him in confusion. "She was. Didn't you tell us that she was?" "It's a long story that I don't want to dive into right now, but I made a fucking mistake. Lola wasn't my mate, and Sadie isn't my second-chance mate. She's my fated mate." I could do nothing but stare at my brother. How does one make a mistake when it comes to a mate? It's either she is or she isn't. It was that simple. Period. To have him tell me that he made a mistake blows my mind. What kind of soap opera shit was going on? As I continue to stare at him, it hits me. We punished Sadie, thinking she caused Alec to lose his fated mate, and now it turns out that she was his fated mate all along. Fuck! How did things get this bad? "We messed up," I whisper in defeat. "We really messed up when it comes to Sadie." "I know," he growls before standing up. "I fucking know." Alec is my brother, and I know this is eating him up. The fact that he hurt his mate is destroying him from the inside out. The Sadie I knew was pretty forgiving, and if it were back then, I would have assured Alec that she'd forgive him. The Sadie of now, though, is unpredictably unpredictable. I don't know much about her, but from the snippets I've gotten since I came, she doesn't look like one to forgive easily. "What are we going to do?" I choke up as the reality of things crashes into me. He releases a grunt of frustration before running a hand down his face. "I don't know, Piper. I just don't know." My heart hurt at the helplessness in his voice. Alec is usually assured and confident. Right now, he looked anything but, and I hated it.
