Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

Chapter 307

I'd guessed it, but hearing Nyx confirm it twits something inside my chest.

"You can sense new life about to begin, while Xena senses a life when it's about to end" Nyx says.

And I can imagine why she'd feel that way. Being able to sense death isn't a power I'd like to have.
