Alpha Alec's Redemption

King wasn’t wrong that first day we met. Hybrids were savages. Most of them had abandoned their humanity. The only difference between them and the rogues was that their human counterparts seemed to still be in control. Unlike Rogues who had handed control to their supernatural counterparts.

“Nothing so far, not after we stopped their last attack” King updated me. “Something tells me that they’ve gone quiet because they are planning their next attack.”

Did I mention that hybrids have gotten stronger, faster and deadlier? They were almost impossible to kill, which was fucking frustrating because of how more of them were popping up.

“Any luck with what kind of magic is being used to create them?” I turned to Raven.

She shakes her head. “No. All I can tell you is that it’s powerful and ancient. I can assure you that not even the most powerful of witches is able to conjure the kind of power that is being used to create them. That’s why I think it’s something ancient. Something beyond our realm.”

Her words sent chills down my back, and a kind of fear gripped me.

“So you’re telling me we are telling us that whoever is creating them is using powers that even coven heads can’t beat?” I whispered, shakily.

“Exactly” Raven replied in a soft voice.

“Then what chance do we have against the mastermind of this whole thing? Against the hybrids he is creating?” I shot up feeling uneasy and agitated about this whole thing.

“I want to reach out to some of the covens” Raven said, “I don’t know about whoever is creating them, but I am sure with witches and wizards by our side, it would be easy to deal with the hybrids.”

Silence descended in my office for a few minutes, before King cut in.“I’ve been trying to think about why someone would create that many hybrids, and I can’t help but think, what if they are creating an army?” he said, making me turn sharply to stare at him.

“What are you talking about?” I exclaimed.

That thought had crossed my mind but I pushed it back, not wanting to dwell on it.

“Think about it Sadie. It’s unlikely that they are trying to create a whole new species, not when most of these hybrids are the worst of the worst. If we look at it like that, then the only option left is that they are creating an army. An army of inhuman, bloodthirsty warriors who don’t care about right and wrong.”

Fuck! His words rang in my head over and over again, refusing to let up. My heart started beating wildly at that possibility.

“But why? Why create an army?” Raven cut in, while pushing up into a standing position.

I let out the breath that was clogging my throat. “Whoever it is, is gearing up for war. That is the only reason why someone would go to so much trouble to build an army.”

“Could this be what Nyx meant? Does she somehow know what’s coming?” King asked. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I replied, “I don’t know.”

“It could also be why your powers showed up now. Remember you told us that Nyx told you it was time? The coven heads might not be a match for whoever this person is, but maybe you are. I’ve felt your powers, Sadie. I believe that none of the coven heads can match it.” Raven said, not knowing that her words just gave me more pressure.

I reached out to Nyx to ask her if what Raven said was true, but the moment I did, she blocked our connection. I release a frustrated sigh. Stubborn wolf. Why is it hard for her to cooperate?

“Continue looking into it, we need more proof that someone is about to start a war” I told them before resuming my position by the window.My mind was running a hundred miles per minute.

This whole thing combined with what has been happening with Alec scares the shit out of me. Maybe Nyx is right after all. Can I really say I’m prepared for what seems to be coming?

Shaking those thoughts away, I turned to face my family. Before I can tell them that they’re dismissed, one of the warriors guarding the gates links me.

“Alpha” he called. “Just wanted to let you know that there’s a lady en route to the pack house.”

My mind immediately went to Beth, but then I remembered that all my pack members knew her. If it were Beth, he would have used her name.

I frowned before asking, “Who is she? And why didn’t you ask for my permission to let her in?”

I’m very picky about other packs coming onto our land.

“She said that she’s Alpha Alec’s sister. I didn’t see the need to stop her when her brother was already here.”

Piper?

Immediately cut off the mind link, so fucking angry at him for letting that backstabber in without asking first.

Fuck! I was so fucking pissed. What the hell was that woman doing here?
