Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 350

Micah.

Sadie disappears. One blink and she’s gone and all I can do is curse under my breath.

“Dammit, Sadie.”

My pulse is a thunderstorm beneath my skin. I know what the council does to threats. I know exactly what kind of cruelty they’re capable of. If she walks in there blind with fury, they’ll break her. Torture her. Strip her down until even a wolf forgets it has a soul.

I know she’s strong. I know she has powers, but none of that compares to the council. Those old bastards are the council for a reason. They’re among the most powerful, and they have an army that is just as deadly to protect them. Going there alone is a suicide mission, not to mention, Alec will hang me by the balls if anything happens to his mate.

I’m pulled from my internal panic when one of the alphas speaks.

“What—what did she just do? How did she vanish?”

Hell, if I know, and I’ve been with her for months.

Another voice. A witch chimes in, panicked. “She vanished through space. Is she a witch because I know damn well wolves can’t do that?”

I run a hand over my jaw, still staring at the empty spot where she stood. Fuck, I need to get to her. She should at least have some backup.

“I don’t have time to explain anything,” I snap. “We need to move. Now.”

I’m already jogging toward the exit before they decide whether to follow, but they do. Barely two seconds behind me, chairs scraping, boots thundering across concrete.

Brian is the first to match my speed. Jason, Raven, King, and the warriors follow without hesitation. By the time we burst outside, the others are catching up and piling into cars, engines igniting in a chorus of fear and urgency.

Just as I get into the car, Piper bursts outside. “I’m coming.”

“No, you’re not,” I snap. “You’re staying here, where it’s safe.”

“Don’t tell me what to do… and besides, Raven is going too.” She fires back.

Raven clears her throat. “Well, I’m not pregnant, so…”

“He’s my brother. I want to help.” She says, pleading with her eyes.

“And he’d want you safe. This is war, Piper.” I tell her gently. “Think about the baby.”

Piper bites her lips, her eyes a bit distant. Almost like she’s fighting herself.

She stands in the middle of the courtyard, drenched in blood, not her own, and surrounded by corpses.

A council shrills, his furious voice cutting through the ruins: “TAKE HER DOWN!”

“Sadie!” I shout, but she doesn’t even turn.

More warriors pour from the buildings. A flood of bodies moving toward her with blades and spells and arrows. She turns her head slightly as if annoyed, and then everything changes.

Her clothes dissolve—literally disappear. Gone in a ripple of light. In their place, white silk forms over her body, her hair lifts not from wind but from raw supernatural pressure and a flaming sword materializes in her right hand.

Raven whispers beside me, voice trembling: “This- This is raw power.”

“I’ve never felt anything like this,” someone says from behind me, but I don’t bother turning.

Sadie walks forward. Not runs. Not dodges. Walks like a queen surveying insects.
