Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 363

Everyone curses at once, but the sound barely reaches me.

The instant Kaden breaks free, instinct takes over. There is no fear. No hesitation. Power detonates through my vein and I surrender to it without resistance. I let go.

My bones scream as my demi-goddess form tears to the surface. Power floods every cell until I can no longer tell where my body ends and the divine begins—until I am no longer just Sadie.

Then I launch upward.

The hole Kaden blasted through the earth becomes a screaming tunnel of wind and debris as I tear through it, stone shattering in my wake. I break into the open night like a weapon unleashed.

The ground fractures beneath my feet as I land hard, stone splintering outward in a violent ring as the impact shakes the forest.

I see them. Kaden and Lola.

She’s wrapped around him, arms locked tight as if afraid he’ll vanish if she loosens her grip. His hand rests on her lower back.

Once, long ago, this sight would have destroyed me. It would have torn my heart from my chest and left me bleeding on the ground, gasping for breath beneath the weight of betrayal.

Now? I feel nothing... No pain. No grief. Only cold, razor-sharp need for revenge.

They pull apart the moment they sense me, just as the others burst out behind me, just as hybrids flood the clearing from every direction. Everyone drops into a fighting stance and the fight begins.

Kaden turns toward me slowly, a predator savoring the moment.

“I gave you a chance,” he says calmly. “And once again, you refused it, so now it’s time for you to die.”

We hit the ground rolling, trading blows too fast for any mortal eye to follow. Every strike carries divine force, each punch splintering earth, each kick sending violent tremors through the air. The ground can’t hold us. The world itself struggles to keep up.

“How does it feel Knowing I took both your mates?” she snarls, locking her forearm against my throat, crushing down with lethal intent. “You have no idea how much fun I had turning Alec against. You have no idea how I enjoyed how he tortured... That is what you get for going against me, sister."

Something inside me explodes. A mixture of rage, grief and loss compressed into a single, unbearable point.

The sky answers to my call. Lightning tears downward in a blinding white arc, slamming straight into her chest with a sound like the heavens breaking apart. The impact rips her off me and hurls her across the clearing, her body carving a crater into the ground when she lands.

She coughs, blood spraying the dirt. Then she laughs.

“I like this; you’re no longer the pathetic little thing you used to be,” she says as she forces herself upright, bones audibly grinding back into place and wipes blood from her mouth with the back of her hand, eyes still blazing. “I’m going to enjoy killing this version of you. Just like I killed the weak girl you were.”
