Alec’s CHAPTER 73

Chapter 73

Sadie.

By the time I was done training, I was tired. So, freaking tired. Who knew teleporting from one place to another would be draining? I didn’t have any energy whatsoever.

“Today, you did well.” Nyx praises in a soft voice. “I’m glad that you were able to get it so quickly.”

“Well, it wasn’t easy. It zaps your energy, that’s for sure,” I mumble, trying to level my breathing.

“Next, we’ll expand the radius,” she says almost in a lazy tone. “Maybe you can try teleporting back home.”

“Are you freaking crazy?” I yell inside my head. “That’s like hundreds of miles away.”

See what I mean when I say that Nyx is crazy? I know she has this urgency to push me to master my powers, but this is pushing it too far.

“Nyx, I’ve only just mastered teleporting a few distances away. You can’t expect me to just go from that to being able to teleport about four hundred miles away.”

Her eyes bore into mine as she stares at me. She isn’t happy, but she also knows that we can’t push my body like that. I needed to start somewhere and build up slowly. Pushing myself too far isn’t going to help anyone. In fact, it might just push us back.

“Fine,” she grumbles before shutting me off.

Sighing at her stubbornness, I stand up from the boulder I’d been sitting on and start to make my way back to the pack house.

I didn’t have a lot planned for today. Maybe I’d just spend some time with Aspen before I try to re- familiarize myself with the pack. After all, I’ve been gone for three years. Some things have probably changed.

I start speeding up when Aspen’s sweet voice hits my ears. I am just about to reach her when his voice stops me cold in my tracks.

“Have you said sorry?”

I catch the last sentence from Aspen, just as I get closer to the father and daughter duo.

They were a few feet away from the back entrance of the pack house. Alec was squatting in front of Aspen.

Even though his back was to me, I would recognize him anywhere. That’s just how deep my obsession with him had been. I would know his voice and body even in my sleep.
