Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 368

The guilt is suffocating. It crawls up my throat like it wants to rip me apart from the inside.

This isn’t how it was meant to be. This isn’t how it was meant to end. Kaden wasn’t supposed to win.

I wipe away the tears. No! I refuse to let her die.

I feel something crack open in my chest at my determination, something old, something divine, something that tastes like despair and love intertwined.

I close my eyes. I am life, and I’ll be damned if I let my own sister die because of my foolish mistakes.

I place my hand over Lola’s heart. I don’t chant. I don’t beg. I command and life answers me.

“Come back to me.”

A warmth ignites beneath my sternum. Gentle at first, like a spark, then a blaze. Golden threads of light weave between my fingers, sinking into Lola’s skin. My magic pours into her like sunlight spilling into frozen earth.

Her body jerks and her back arches violently, coming off the ground.

“What are you doing?” I hear Kaden’s angry voice, but I ignore him.

I push harder, my powers pulsing, hitting Lola’s chest like a defibrillator.

Kaden tries to stop me, but Mother uses her power to push him back and then forms a protective shield around us.

Then finally, breath rushes back into her lungs with a shuddering gasp. Color returns to her cheeks and her wound knits together, smooth and whole, the blood evaporating from her skin like it was never there at all. When her eyes open, they are not cold or corrupted… They are my sister’s eyes.

Her voice cracks. “Nyx?”

I break.

I throw myself into her and she catches me, arms weak but present, trembling as she holds me like she used to. Like she was afraid I’d disappear.

“I thought I lost you,” I sob into her shoulder.

“You almost did,” she whispers, breaking too. “But you saved me. You saved me, Sadie.”

“Calling me Sadie is so weird.” I murmur while sobbing.

She chuckles, “Just like you calling me Lola feels weird… Maybe we should stick to our birth-given names?”
