Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 358

My hands tremble slightly, but I press on.

“I begged him. I pleaded for the sake of our child. But he didn’t listen. He insisted on breaking the bond. And with Xena whispering in his ear, he did it in the cruelest way imaginable.”

My throat tightens. “He didn’t just sever it. He ripped it from my soul… and shredded what was left.”

I take a slow breath, grounding myself before continuing.

“That day, I didn’t only lose my mate. I lost part of my soul and my unborn child. The baby couldn’t survive the violent destruction of a soul bond so I ended up miscarrying.”

The words fall heavy.

“I remember them walking away without a single backward glance while I lay on the floor of my room, weak, bleeding, and broken.”

I still see their smiles. As if they hadn’t just murdered my child. As if they hadn’t torn my soul in two.

“I’ll never forget it,” Mother says quietly. “Nyx called to me through our bond. When I arrived, she was covered in her own blood. I felt the death of my grandchild. I witnessed her raw heartbreak and even then… I couldn’t comprehend how her own sister and mate could do something so monstrous.”

The silence that follows is suffocating. I have to look away from Piper and Raven because if I see the tears in their eyes, I won’t be able to keep myself together.

“I was weak after that,” I continue quietly. “Part of my soul had been ripped away along with the bond. Xena and my mate disappeared soon after… and I was left with nothing. No answers. No explanations. No closure.”

I spent my days rotting in bed, too broken to do anything but sleep and cry. From that moment on, I knew there was no going back for Xena and me. Whatever love I once had for her died the day she took my mate from me.

I swallow. “For a long time, I did nothing. I didn’t even have the will to try. How do you move past losing your child, your sister, and your mate on the same day? How do you survive knowing the people who were meant to love you most are the very reason your child is gone?”
