Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Alec’s CHAPTER 82

Chapter 82

A freezing, wet, and hard surface is underneath me. This isn’t like the soft mattress I slept on a couple of hours ago. I want to continue sleeping for a little while, but it’s unbearable. I try to shift, hoping I will get comfortable, but it doesn’t work. Small, hard things press into my skin, increasing my discomfort.

Giving up, I reluctantly open my eyes. Is a little bit more of sleep too much to ask for?

The moment my eyes are open, I jolt upward. This isn’t my f**g bedroom? Where the hell am I?

I scan the area in confusion. The sight of trees shrouded in fog greets me. It’s early in the morning. Maybe around six in the morning, but I couldn’t be sure.

I know that I am still in pack lands because I can sense the patrolling team. I just don’t know which part of the forest I am in.

The chilly morning wind blows, making me shiver at its coldness. It’s only then that I realize I am butt naked.

On unsteady legs, I get up, my mind swirling in confusion. I clearly remember going to sleep right next to Aspen after our talk, so what the hell am I doing here?

I rack my brain trying to find the hidden answers, but I come up empty. I have no memory of what happened or how I got here in the first place.

My heart starts racing at the possibilities. Did I sleepwalk here? But I don’t have a history of sleepwalking, and I doubt it starts suddenly out of nowhere. That also doesn’t explain why I am naked in the first place.

I am a bit disoriented as I try to get my bearing, I mean, it’s not every day you go to sleep and wake up naked in the forest.

I stumble as I begin to walk while trying to get my s**d brain to function. Sniffing the air, I smell the scent of the pack and use it as my beacon. I could use my teleportation power, but I am afraid that, with how disoriented I am, I’ll end up somewhere else. It is better to avoid it.

“Nyx?” I call her, but she doesn’t respond.

She’s been MIA since yesterday. I tried getting in touch with her after Raven’s revelation, but she wouldn’t answer me. Even when I did more training in the afternoon, she was still not present.
