Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0068

“W–what?” I could hear Raven stammer behind, but my mind was otherwise preoccupied.

I’ve heard about shifting. We were taught about it. How it is painful because your bones are basically shifting, re- aligning themselves to those of a wolf.

There’s always been an excitement towards someone’s first shift… but along with that, there is always fear. Fear of the oncoming pain.

I won’t lie and say that I am not nervous. I am, but at the same time, I am at peace. I mean the pains of shifting can’t be as bad as the ones from yesterday, right?

“Will you slow down, Sadie?” Raven says out of breath, as she falls into step beside me.

“I can’t” I reply while crossing the threshold of the main back door. “I want to get this over and done with, and Nyx wants to run and hunt.”

It’s normal for wolves to hunt. It’s in our nature. Whether it’s big or small animals, it gives them a kind of thrill. There isn’t much difference between us and normal wolves, and unlike popular beliefs about werewolves, we don’t eat raw meat. It’s disgusting, and it’s demeaning that humans think we are into that kind of thing.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Fuck, Sadie, can you please explain to us what’s happening?” King demands, grabbing my hand and stopping my movement.

I feel irritated when his skin touches mine, so I pull my hand from his. The fire inside me was rising as the seconds passes by. It was like a need that was burning inside. It felt like something was crawling from the depths of my soul, seeking a way out.

“Look, I don’t know any more than you do” I begin while watching some of my warriors train. “Nyx hasn’t really been forthcoming with information about who I am and what the hell is happening.”

“So you’re telling us that she hasn’t said a single thing?” Raven pushes, looking confused and in disbelief.

“That is exactly what I am saying” I reply, my feet tapping nervously on the grass beneath me.

“But why?” this comes from King. “It doesn’t make sense. Surely, now that you have changed into a being with literal wings, she can at least explain what or who you are.”

My eyes shift from my two friends to the forest a few feet from me. When we got this land, it was by sheer lack that it had been unclaimed. I didn’t want anything near a city, I mostly wanted something secluded. Some place where it was so far away from human settlement that we didn’t have to worry about werewolves shifting, vampires using their super speed and strength, or witches practicing their powers freely.

“Can I please just leave? We can discuss all this later,” I face King, directing my next sentence at him. “You know how it feels when you first shift. You know the need and the pull. The fire burning inside you. You are both standing. in the way of the shifting process, and it’s starting to piss Nyx off.”

Normally, Nyx loves the two. She is patient with them and hardly ever has a problem with them. Right now, though, she was growling and snarling at them. They were standing in the way of her shift and it was irritating her.

King slightly bows, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize what I was doing”

The moment those words leave his mouth, I turn and start walking towards the forest that was calling me. Pulling me towards its green lushness. I know the perfect place for us to shift. Nyx agrees with me because she nods with excitement.

Rushing, I push myself to get there quickly. I dodge trees, branches and roots, anticipation drumming through every fiber of my body. I could literally feel
