Chapter 0120 Sadie.
By the tI was done training, I was tired. So, freaking tired. Who knew teleporting from one place to another would be draining? I didn't have any energy whatsoever. "Today, you did well." Nyx praises in a soft voice. "I'm glad that you were able to get it so quickly." "Well, it wasn't easy. It zaps your energy, that's for sure," I mumble, trying to level my breathing.
"Next, we'll expand the radius," she says almost in a lazy tone. "Maybe you can try teleporting back home." "Are you freaking crazy?" I yell inside my head. "That's like hundreds of miles away." See what I mean when I say that Nyx is crazy? I know she has this urgency to pushto master my powers, but this is pushing it too far.
"Nyx, I've only just mastered teleporting a few distances away. You can't expectto just go from that to being able to teleport about four hundred miles away." Her eyes bore into mine as she stares at me. She isn't happy, but she also knows that we can't push my body like that. I needed to start somewhere and build up slowly. Pushing myself too far isn't going to help anyone. In fact, it might just push us back. "Fine," she grumbles before shuttingoff.

I didn't have a lot planned for today. Maybe I'd just spend stwith Aspen before I try to re-familiarize myself with the pack. After all, I've been gone for three years. Sthings have probably changed.
I start speeding up when Aspen's sweet voice hits my ears. I am just about to reach her when his voice stopscold in my tracks.
"Have you said sorry?" I catch the last sentence from Aspen, just as I get closer to the father and daughter duo.
They were a few feet away from the back entrance of the pack house. Alec was squatting in front of Aspen.
Even though his back was to me, I would recognize him anywhere. That's just how deep my obsession with him had been. I would know his voice and body even in my sleep.
"No, I haven't," his gruff voice pullsback to the duo.
Alec was so lost in his conversation with Aspen that he failed to notice that someone was listening in to their conversation.
"You have to... you say sorry when you are wrong," Aspen insists, her hand still on his face, something I didn't like.
"I made a huge mistake, sweetheart. I don't think it can be fixed with a simple sorry." Something in his voice catches, but I push it away. I refuse to dwell on what it is. It doesn't matter. Alec and whatever feelings he has isn't any of my business.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe is right though, what he did tocan't be fixed with a simple apology. My wounds run deep. The internal ones are yet to heal... and the physical ones have left scars. It just isn't easy to forgive and let go of the pain the man you fell in love with caused. "B-but you have to try," Aspen insists.
She is stubborn like her father and doesn't really know when to let things go. It's a character love and hate at the stime. Before Alec can respond, I decide to step in. I have to put a stop to whatever the hell was happening here. "Aspen," I call, "Chere."
Two sets of the sgreen eyes turn to me. Aspen's eyes transform, up in a smile. While and her lips turn up in Alec's eyes shift in guilt, as if he has been caught doing something he shouldn't. "Mommy!" she shrieks before running to me, her body colliding with mine. "What are you doing here and where is Martha?" She starts nibbling her lips, and I just know I won't like what she'll tell me. She nibbles her lips when she's guilty.
"I saw a butterfly," she begins. "I wanted to chase it, so when Martha wasn't looking, Edid crashed on Mr. when I was chasing the pretty butterfly."
