Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

A week has passed since the day I first summoned the scepter, and in that time things around and inside me have changed. Shifted. What once felt impossible now came almost naturally.

The scepter now answers me like it has always been mine, materializing in my hand with a thought. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to call it to me after that first time, but I shouldn't have been. Now I can easily wield it without any struggle. With it, controlling my other powers has been a walk in the park. Nyx really wasn't kidding when she told me that we could do so much more.

I've been pushing myself this past week and now, I can easily control fire and air. I'm still learning to control the other elements, but it's only a matter of time before I master both water and earth. Even energy itself, pure and raw, answers me.

I've never been this happy to accomplish something. It left me feeling more confident in my abilities and my mission to kill Kaden.

"Don't forget that you can also control the weather," Nyx murmurs lazily.

Yeah, she's told me that so many times, but I am yet to test out that ability. I don't know; some part of me is doubtful. I mean, this is the weather we're talking about. It just seems like pushing things too far.

Nyx scoffs. "Remember the day you lost control?"

"Yes," I reply hesitantly.

"The clouds turned grey, the wind picked up and it seemed it was about to rain... and don't forget the thunder.... What did you think that was?"

Now that I think of it, there was a little bit of a drizzle, but I was so lost that most things barely registered to me.
