Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 143

“What?”

I put Aspen down on the bed before covering her. Then I turn and just stare at the wall, in utter shock. I can’t believe her. I honestly can’t. She’s been gone since yesterday, and that’s all she can tell me? That’s all she can utter?

"What do you 'what?'"

“Why are you in a hospital gown?” She asks her own question, dodging mine. It’s only then do I realize that I was in it.

I didn’t even know that I was in a hospital gown until she mentioned it. What the hell? Did something happen again? Or did Alec take me to the pack hospital when I lost consciousness? After all, he was the last person I was with when the pain from hell assaulted me.

That was the most likely possibility, but I still found it weird. I still found it impossible to believe. I mean, this is the Alec we are talking about. The same man who tortured me and almost killed me. Then again, he does need me, so of course he would take me to the hospital to make sure I was okay.

Sighing, I shake my head to free it from thoughts of Alec.

“That’s not important,” I answer, knowing well that she was trying to deflect.

“Where were you?” `

“You know, just around,” she answers vaguely.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, Nyx. That’s all you can say? That’s not a damn answer.”

I stand up and start pacing. Something very weird happened to me last night and Nyx was nowhere to be seen. She comes back this morning as if she didn’t just disappear on me. What the hell?

“Well, it is and it’s all you’re going to get,” she huffs and says. “Besides, I am not a child. I don’t have to tell you what I do and don’t do.”

I can’t help it. I hiss at her so pissed with her attitude. I am tired of her damn secrets. Tired of her keeping things from me and thinking it’s okay. We are supposed to be one, yet I feel like we are two different beings because she’s keeping things from me. Whatever affects her affects me; why can’t she get that?

"Nyx,” I growl

Her hackles rise and she snarls back at me. “Why can’t you just leave it alone? I told you I'd explain things when the time is right.”

“And when is that, hmm? After another three damn years?” I spit, my hands balled into fists by my sides.

She sneers, her eyes narrowing into slits and her lips pursed into a thin line. “You’ll know when I feel you are ready, even if you’ll have to wait a hundred years for that to happen, Sadie.”

“This isn’t funny anymore. I’ve let you get away with this for too long. You need to tell me what the hell is happening,” I demand, my voice turning dangerously low.

I am on edge. I am a mess. I am nervous. Every day that we get new revelations makes me go into a panic. I feel like I am going crazy with everything that has been revealed and now this? This sleepwalking.

Instead of answering me, Nyx gives me a mocking smile before she brings up her mental barrier and shuts me off, blocking me from having access to her.

I’m about to scream in frustration when I remember that Aspen was soundly asleep.

That stubborn wolf. What the fuck was her problem? It wouldn’t kill her to just tell what was going on, would it?
