Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

The moment I left them, my mind switched to work mode. I couldn't sit around and do nothing. I also couldn't keep waiting for Nyx to feed me breadcrumbs of information.

The first place I decided to make my stop was the library. I don't know why, but it was the first place my brain urged me to go to. I wasn't really expecting anything; after all, what could I find here that Raven and the elders couldn't find? They had combed through the entire library, and they still got nothing of substance.

Walking through the hallways, my mind wandered to all the missing pieces. There was so much that we didn't know of. So many unanswered questions. There was a lot going on that seemed bigger than us.

The question that has been nagging me, though, is where Nyx fits into all this. She has urged me to train harder since I first shifted. Always pushing me to grow stronger, become faster, and react quickly. Even now, since my powers awakened, it's been the same thing.

She wouldn't be pushing this hard if she were not preparing for something. Given everything that is currently happening, it all points towards her preparing for war. Seeing that her sister is making hybrids, it is safe to say that she is building an army. That she's preparing for the same thing.

So the question remains, why are two sisters preparing for war against each other? Why would they want to hurt each other? They were twins for fuck's sake. It didn't make any sense whatsoever. They should be closer than thieves, yet there was serious animosity between them.

And where is their mother?

Given how old I assume Nyx is, her mother should be dead, right? But the fact that Nyx and Xena are alive shows there is a possibility their mom is alive too. So where is she? And does she know anything about the ongoing beef between her daughters?

I push the door to the library once I get there. Lucky for me, it was empty and that suited me just fine.

I move along the rows of shelves and walk towards those that contain books that date way back. When I get there, I scan through them, picking up the ones that I feel might contain a sliver of answers.

By the time I am done, both my hands are full of books. I walk to one of the tables, drop them on the table and take a seat. I grabbed the first book and began reading, looking for any information or any kind of clue.
