Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 0143

"What?"

I 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 take me to 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 same man who tortured me and almost killed me. Then again, he does need me, so of course he would take me to 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 damn answer."

I stand up and start pacing. Something very weird happened to me last 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."
