Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 286

"So, you're telling me that what we thought was a premonition... was actually one of Nyx's memories?" Raven stares at me, eyes wide in disbelief.

It's just after dinner and we are in my room just chatting and catching up. Aspen is playing with her dolls on the carpet floor and from the looks of it, she isn't about to go to bed anytime soon.

I don't mind though, because she had a late nap time in the afternoon and when that happens, it screws with her bedtime. Funny thing is, no matter how late or early she sleeps, she always wakes up at the same time.

I did go back to training, but nothing really happened. I wasn't able to call the scepter to me. There were times I felt it. Right on the edge, but every time I almost had it, it disappeared. The same thing happened over and over again until I finally gave up when evening came and there was still no progress.

I had dinner with Aspen and Martha. Raven joined us soon after, looking so much better than she had that morning. She looked lively and well rested. It was a relief seeing her no longer looking like the walking dead.

After having dinner, Martha retired to her room, while Raven joined me and Aspen in ours. So here we are now.

"Yes," I answer her, bringing the pillow to my chest. "I still don't understand why she let me believe that it was a premonition for the longest time. But then again, she said that she wanted me to discover things on my own."

I know I've said this countless times, but honestly, it's frustrating. I wish she could just tell me everything all at once instead of feeding it to me in bits.

Raven stays silent for a while before speaking. "So, Xena and Kaden almost killed her. Why?"
