Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 275

I went about my morning routine in a daze, my mind buzzing with questions that refused to quiet down no matter how hard I tried. All I wanted was the damn answers to my questions and yet I got nothing.

How is it possible for two sisters to drift so far apart that they’d willingly try to kill each other?

I don’t have a sibling, obviously. My adoptive parents never had a child of their own and they never adopted anyone else after me. But still, even if I did have a sibling, I can’t imagine ever hurting them, let alone killing them.

That kind of hatred—the kind that runs deep enough to want a loved one’s blood is foreign to me. It feels like something that only happens in books and movies, but not in real life. And yet… here we are, so I guess it does happen.

After showering and changing, I linger in my room for a little while, just so I can get my brain functioning. Just so I can focus on the day and not on the questions that are eating away at me.

I get on my bed and fold my legs beneath me, settling into a cross-legged position. I close my eyes, hands resting lightly on my thighs. I honestly never understood how people manage to meditate on hard surfaces, like floors. I’ve tried it and it’s just not for me. If I’m going to sit still with my thoughts, I’d rather do it somewhere comfortable.

Taking a slow, deep breath, I try calming my thoughts. I need to be clearheaded and composed. Raven could show up any time, maybe she is already here. I need my mind to be clear before we have a conversation about what she found out.

I let my thoughts wander. I don’t try to pause or stop them. Just let them flow; let them scatter in whatever direction.

I am almost grounded. Almost centered, when I feel her presence stir in the back of my head.

“Nyx?” I call out softly, my voice threaded with hope, praying that she won’t shut me out this time.

This wouldn’t be the first time she has done something like that. I would sometimes feel her, but when I reached out, she’d shut me out.

For a long, painful moment there is silence, and my heart tightens in disappointment.

I am just about to open my eyes and stand when her soft voice reaches me.

“Yes”

Relief surges through me in waves.
