Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

“No,” I whispered. "That's not a possibility."

My whole body trembled as everything in me denied what was being said. I stared at him sightlessly as my mind tried to come up with anything that could shut down that train of thought.

It wasn't possible that Nyx's twin sister was the other woman. How can that be? She would have told me. Why would she hide such a huge thing from me?

And again, why would her own sister want to kill her? Harm her? It just didn't make any sense at all. None.

"Think about it, Sadie," Alec said in a gentle voice. It was similar to the voice he used while he talked to Aspen.

I glared at him. I didn't want to listen, but from his set jaw and determination in his eyes, I knew that he wasn't about to back down.

"Nyx told you that there were only three Alpha Females in existence," he began. "She didn't say much about the first one, but she did talk about the two of you. Light and Dark. Yin and Yang. She said, you were made from the same cloth, but somewhere along the way the other she-wolf got corrupted."

"What's your point?" I growled at him.

"Stick with me," he simply said before he continued. "So, if that's the case, it makes sense that the one making hybrids is the same person Nyx was talking about, right?"

I nod my head, albeit reluctantly.

"Now take it a little further and think. She was playing with words. What if her phrase about being cut from the same cloth simply translates to having the same parents? What if this other she-wolf being the yin to your yang is simply because they are twin sisters? What if the first Alpha Female was Nyx's mother? It would make sense that there are only three of you. The mother and her daughters... And lastly, what if the reason why your wings are the same as hers, the only difference being the color, is simply because she's Nyx's sister?"

His words play in my head. The more they played, the more they made sense. It all made sense. I couldn't deny it, nor hide from the truth that as taring right at
