Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0146

I wake up with a start, gasping for breath as I sit up on my bed. It takes a while for my brain to start functioning and that's when I realize that Aspen isn't next to me where she was when I went to sleep.

I jump off the bed in panic as I remember what happened earlier. Like I said, Aspen is a free and adventurous spirit. You'll rarely find her in one place.

I start looking for her while trying to stamp down the panic surging inside me. I stop and stand still. My brain must not be working well. I am a damn werewolf; the first thing I should have done was sniff for her.

Sighing, I finally do that and realize that her scent is faint. Meaning she hasn't been here for a while. I move to my nightstand and pick up my phone. Checking the time, I realize that I slept for close to five hours. Despite that, I still felt a bit tired.

I slump down on my bed and take a deep breath. Have you ever felt like you don't have the energy to do anything? Like, all you want to do is lie down all day and do nothing? That's how I feel right now. I don't want to think about anything or do anything. I just want some peace and quiet.

Despite what happened earlier, I know Alec won't let it happen again, even if his pack doesn't heed to my warning. That being said, I still need to know if she's okay. If only there was a way to communicate with Martha via mind-link. It would make things a lot easier.

"Sadie?"

I freeze on the bed, my heart racing when I hear her voice. At first, I am confused and look around my room. Maybe I'd missed something. Maybe she was helping Aspen in the bathroom... Then again, I would have heard the water running. I would have heard something given that Aspen isn't really a quiet kid.

"Sadie?" her voice comes again, this time making me sit up straight.

It's then it hits me that I just heard her voice in my head.

"Martha?" I was completely stunned by what was happening.

"What the hell is going on? How are we able to communicate like this?"

I stare at the wall ahead of me, my eyes wide open and my jaw dropped. Her question rings over and over in my head, but I am too stunned to piece the puzzle together.

This, whatever is happening, should be impossible. Martha is a witch, and I am a wolf. We should not be able to communicate via mind-link even though I am her alpha.

"Sadie, what's going on?" she asks again, confusion filling her voice.

My hands are shaking. There have been so many changes since Alec rolled back into my life. It's getting very difficult to keep up with all of them. Some of them, like this current one, should be impossible.

"Before I answer, is Aspen with you?" I ask, remembering why I wanted to talk to her in the first place.

"Yes. I came to your room to get the

dirty clothes for laundry. I found her awake. I didn't want to wake you up since you looked like you needed some sleep, so I took her with me. Don't worry, she's with me, and she's okay."

Is it still weird that even though I am literally talking to her right now, I still can't believe that this is actually happening? It's almost like I am having an out-of-body experience where I feel I've detached from

myself and the world around me.

I nod my head at her answer, but then I realize that she can't see me. See, old habits die hard?

"It's okay. I woke up and didn't find her next to me. I was worried a bit." I finally say, getting my brain to work like it should.
