Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Xena.

The moment it happens, I feel it.

A pull in the air. A sharp, glowing shift that thrums deep in my bones like a long- forgotten melody finally remembered.

Sadie.

She's done it.

She's summoned the scepter.

I clench my jaw as I pace the stone floor of my chamber, the shadows bending with my mood. My fingers twitch at my sides as excitement thrums inside me. I'm barely able to contain all of it.

She's getting stronger, and this is exactly what we need.

I know Nyx is probably pushing and I love that. Let her push. Let Sadie master those powers. The stronger she gets, the better chance of freeing Kaden.

She doesn't know it, but she's going to play a huge role in helping me free my mate. She's the missing piece and she has no idea. That alone makes my heart thrum with happiness. The fact that I'm using her and she doesn't even know it.

I can't wait to see the look on her face when she realizes that she was playing to my tune. That everything she did will lead to Kaden being free.

"Blake!" My voice cuts through the silence.

Within seconds, the door creaks open, and Blake steps inside, eyes sharp and unreadable as always and loyal to a fault. Just the way I like him.

"You called?"

I don't stop pacing. "Any word on her?"

He shakes his head once. "No. The men say the sighting wasn't her. False alarm."

I can't find her.
