Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 157

“I’m going to set you down so I can deal with them, okay?” Alec whispers in my ear. “It’s only going to take a moment.”

Before I can protest, he sets me against a tree before turning to the two snarling hybrids. Alec is overconfident, thinking hybrids are easy to kill. Has he seriously forgotten all I have told him about them? All that the elders told him?”

He snarls back, and I immediately feel Knox’s presence. I sit up, but I accidentally scrape my shoulder against the tree’s back. It hurts like a mother. I grit my teeth, refusing to let my whimper escape in the presence of enemies.

“Nyx, have you informed them?” I ask her, not taking my eyes off the three men who were circling each other.

Two against one. That doesn’t seem fair at all.

“Yes. They are a couple of minutes away,” she answers, her attention also on them.

“How far is a couple of minutes?”

“Around thirty or so.”

“Fuck. That’s a lot of time.”

“Both Alec and Knox are overconfident. They’ve never dealt with hybrids, yet they assume it’s as easy as taking down a rogue.”

She voices what I’d already concluded. Sure, he is an alpha, but hybrids are a different species all together. They have a combination of wolf and vampire powers, and that tramps being just a wolf.

I watch as they fight. Alec is strong, but they are stronger. I am not being mean or anything, just stating facts.

His claws slice through the blond hybrid. He’s skinnier than his friend. He whimpers and then looks at his partner, seemingly surprised that Alec had landed a blow. I bet he was promised that he’d be invincible when he was turned. What a fucking idiot.

It’s then I realize something. He’s a newbie, recently turned. He probably hasn’t mastered all his abilities. The way he turned to the bulky guy shows that he's seeking guidance on what to do.

“You must act fast, Alec,” I mind-link him. “End him now while he’s still surprised.”

Alec stiffens before twisting his head to look at me.

“Do it now!” I scream via the link. “Cut off his head; that's the only sure bet to kill them.”

This seems to move him. Before the blondie can recover from his shock, Alec pounces. He half shifts, and his large claws slice through his neck, severing tendons as if they were nothing but butter. His head falls to the ground. His body follows next. Even from a distance, I can clearly see his wide eyes staring at the sky, shock permanently etched on them.

The bulky man releases a roar before he starts his attack on Alec. The other one was easy to kill because he was a newbie. This one, though, from his movements, I can already tell that he won’t be easy to kill because he’s been a hybrid for some time. He has mastered his abilities and knows how to use them. Luckily, I have some new powers.

He attacks Alec with intensity, both of them refusing to yield to the other. Punch after punch, kick after kick, they attack each other with a viciousness that surprised me.

The hybrid gains an advantage and swipes his hand, clawing Alec in the abdomen. He releases a roar and stumbles back a bit.
