Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Alec's CHAPTER 88 Chapter 88 "What?" 1 put Aspen down on the bed before covering her. Then I turn and just stare at the wall, in utter shock. I can't believe her. I honestly can't. She's been gone since yesterday, and that's all she can tell me? That's all she can utter? "What do you 'what?"" "Why are you in a hospital gown?" She asks her own question, dodging mine. It's only then do I realize that I was in it.

I didn't even know that I was in a hospital gown until she mentioned it. What the hell? Did something happen again? Or did Alec taketo the pack hospital when I lost consciousness? After all, he was the last person I was with when the pain from hell assaulted me.

That was the most likely possibility, but I still found it weird. I still found it impossible to believe. I mean, this is the Alec we are talking about. The sman who torturedand almøst killed me. Then again, he does need me, so of course he would taketo the hospital to make sure I was okay.

Sighing, I shake my head to free it from thoughts of Alec.

"That's not important," I answer, knowing well that she was trying to deflect.

"Where were you?" "You know, just around," she answers vaguely.

"You've got to be kidding me, Nyx. That's all you can say? That's not a d**n answer.” I stand up and start pacing. Something very weird happened tolast night and Nyx was nowhere to be seen. She comes back this morning as if she didn't just disappear on me. What the hell? "Well, it is and it's all you're going to get," she huffs and says. "Besides, I am not a child. I don't have to tell you what I do and don't do." I can't help it. I hiss at her so pi**d with her attitude. I am tired of her d**n secrets. Tired of her keeping things fromand thinking.it's okay. We are supposed to be one, yet I feel like we are two different beings because she's keeping things from me. Whatever affects her affects me; why can't she get that? 1/4 Chapter SS Sep "Nyx," I grow! Her hackles rise and she snarls back at me. "Why can't you just leave it alone? I told you explain things when the tis right." 66% +5 I'd "And when is that, hmm? After another three d**n years?” I spit, my hands balled into fists by my sides.

She sneers, her eyes narrowing into slits and her lips pursed into a thin line. "You'll know when I feel you are ready, even if you'll have to wait a hundred years for that to happen, Sadie." "This isn't funny anymore. I've let you get away with this for too long. You need to tellwhat the hell is happening," I demand, my voice turning dangerously low.

I am on edge. I am a mess. I am nervous. Every day that we get new revelations makesgo into a panic. I feel like I am going crazy with everything that has been revealed and now this? This sleepwalking.

Instead of answering me, Nyx givesa mocking smile before she brings up her m**al barrier and shutsoff, blockingfrom having access to her.

H I'm about to scream in frustration when I remember that Aspen was soundly asleep.

That stubborn wolf. What the f**k was her problem? It wouldn't kill her to just tell what was going on, would it? I breathe in, then out. In, then out. I am trying my best to stay calm. To relax. I can't lose s**t now, but it was getting hard to hold on.

I was just beginning to calm down when there is a knock on my door. I know it's Raven because of her scent.

N "Cin," I call out while casting an eye on Aspen to make sure she doesn't wake up.

The door opens and Raven walks in. She closes the door slowly before castinga look. “You look like **it,” she mutters, and I roll my eyes at her comment.

Twisting my lips, I reply sarcastically, "Thanks." "What's with the hospital gown?" my Sighing, I flop down on the bed and tell her everything. After all, apart from King and Nyx, she's the only one I can talk to. The only ones I can share my troubles and worries with.

"Letget this straight you went to bed with Aspen and woke up naked m in the forest?" she asks her eyes it narrowing. If it were anybody else, they wouldn't have believed. For someone who doesn't sleepwalk, it sounds so farfetched. "Yes," I said, releasing the breath I was holding, my shoulders sagging in the process.

"And the previous night, you had a dream of you being killed?"

"Yeah, it felt so f**g real. Deep down, I knew the woman and the man.

recognized their voices, though couldn't see their faces. There is also the fact that she had wings like mine, only that hers were black." I still shiver at the reminder of that blade entering my body. The pain and betrayal I felt. The cold embrace of death.

I try to picture the woman's face in my head, but it was still blurred. I then concentrate on her clothes and wings. That is when it hits me.

“S**t,” I curse, standing up and resuming pacing. This can't be happening. This isn't happening.

"What?" Raven asks, her eyes searching mine.

"I just remembered," I begin. "Remember when I told you about the other alpha female? The one Nyx toldabout?" "Hmm," she nods her head, her searching eyes turning curious.

"Well, she said that the other female is my complete opposite. That her powers are tainted. What if that is who I saw in my dream? It would explain the wings, which are similar to mine, and it would explain why they are black. Maybe they began white just like mine, but when her powers were tainted, they turned black." My heart is racing at the possibility. The explanation sounds so right. It's like a puzzle piece fitting where it belongs.

"Sadie?" I face Raven when she calls my name. There is panic and nervousness shadowing her eyes. "What if it wasn't a dream you had, but a premonition?" S***t. ***n it, I hadn't thought of it in that light.

I didn't want to think of it in those terms, but what if Raven is right? What if it's a premonition? A premonition of what's to come. A premonition of my death.
