Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 176

Courage courses through me as I pull myself from the dark abyss that had threatened to swallow me whole. My back straightens and my shoulders pull back as I feel the darkness that had surrounded me slowly dissipate. My vision clears, and Raven’s image becomes clearer.

“I need to ask her,” I mumble the words that she had told me a while ago.

Taking another deep breath, I mentally prepare myself for the onslaught of the truth.

“Nyx?” I call to her gently.

I didn’t know where she was. Nowadays, it’s become a common thing for her to disappear. I don’t know where she goes, what she does, or even how she manages to just slip from my mind.

“Yes?” I am startled by her voice. If I am being honest, I didn’t really expect her to answer me right away.

"Honestly, Nyx, where did you disappear to, and what do you do?”

“Training”

She gives me the one-word answer, as if it’s enough answer to both my questions. I want to grill her, but now is not the time.

“We’ll get back to that later... something came up. Raven found out that a demi-god named Kaden might be imprisoned here. Do you know him?”

She freezes for a second. If I wasn’t so focused and tuned in on her, I would have missed it. Something passes in her eyes and they flash white, but it’s too fast for me to read the emotion.

“I thought I had a little bit more time before you found out about him, but there’s nothing to be done about that now... Yes. Yes, I do know him.”
