Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0033

“What do you mean you can’t? No one is stopping you from leaving: just stand up and leave. It’s that simple.” That came from Raven, who was drinking her coffee as usual.

I loved coffee; it was my fucking lifeline, but since we learned I was pregnant, Raven has limited the amount I take.

His things were already packed, but he was seated, and he looked mighty frustrated.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I was going to leave, I’d even gotten my things and was about to leave, but something inside me stopped me. For some strange reason, I feel like this is where I’m meant to be. That I should stick by you.”

He was staring straight at me as he said that. Out of habit, I touched my hair (I do that when I’m nervous), but there’s nothing there. I released a deep breath when I remembered Alec cutting it all off. Fuck, I hate him.

"Destiny," Raven mumbles, looking at her now-half cup.

"What are you talking about, Rave?" I questioned her.

"Destiny. Intertwined destiny," she says, looking up at the both of us. "I think his destiny is intertwined with yours, just like mine and yours are."

A chill passed down my spine, and I shivered.

"Rave?"

I look at her, deeply staring into her eyes. There's something there. Something I can't even begin to explain.

"I started having dreams about you years ago. I didn't get why or who you were, but I always pushed it to the back of my mind. It continued for years, snippets, but I brushed them off. That was until a couple of months ago, when the dreams turned into nightmares and I saw the girl I've been dreaming about suffering." She looked at King and stopped. We didn't know him well, so we couldn't fully trust him. She doesn't need to explain the rest to me, I already knew because I lived the nightmare.

"During those times, I didn't know who you were or where you were. I didn't even know if I should trust them. You were just a girl in my dreams, one who couldn't be real. Well, that is until I found you in the forest surrounded by rogues."

Both Kingsley and I were quiet the whole time. I was shocked, honestly, but King was thoughtful.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked in confusion.

"You'd already been through enough. I didn't want to spring this on you when I didn't understand it myself."

My thoughts were rushing too fast for me to grasp all of them. My head was a jumbled mess.

Raven continued. "I believe it's destiny. Beth pretty much told me the same. If you believe that you are meant to be here with her, then this is where you should be."

What she said would explain why I trusted him despite him being a complete stranger.

"Who is Beth?" King asks after a while.

"She's my mentor."

He nodded his head and looked into the distance. It seemed like he was deep in thought. Lost in thought.

I didn't know what to feel. This was all overwhelming. Everything that has happened since yesterday has been heavy on me, and then to learn that Raven has been having dreams about me for years? Well, that just tipped the scale.

"So, what are you going to do?" Raven asked Kingsley, but I feel it's more than a question. It's almost as if she was challenging him.

He stared at her and then shrugged. "I guess I'll just have to trust my gut and go with you wherever it is you're going."

At first, I was shocked that he would follow two strangers, but after a while, I nodded, accepting his decision.

I no longer believe in the goddess or destiny, but somehow, this whole thing felt righ
