Chapter 33 Im Not The Alpha
I'm Not The Alpha
ELI
I watch her leave with him. I have so much fear it’s ridiculous, but he holds her hand as they walk into the forest.
I did not have this at all in my plans for today.
I was going to grab my coffee, be grumpy about it and then go to work, not walk into a forest, not bring up my past or hers.
And here we are.
They disappear, and I let her.
For the first time in my life, I let go.
I let go of the anger.
I let go of everything.
And I watch, with Gabe by my side.
“Gonna kill you later,” I whisper.
M walks up with Marvin.
“Are we angry again?”
“Bad timing,” Gabe says under his breath.
I look at all three of them.
“Were you all in on this?”
M raises his hand.
“I was the last recruit, so you can’t be mad at me.”
All eyes turn to Marvin.
Then Gabe.
"Wow.” I sigh.
“Wow.”
Gabe smiles.
“I think you’re ready.”
“For what? Death?”
Two bodies come back and then two more, and then three, four…
What the hell is going on?
Xavier escorts five lost children.
Ava escorts ten.
And then, in a weird exchange, they hug, and everyone turns toward her, she kneels and raises her hands to the sky.
And I realize.
I'm not the Alpha.
She is.
