Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 108
I grab a towel before walking out the back. Andrei, Mateo and Ezra were standing in the backyard talking away as I walked over to them with the towel draped over my arm. Moments later we could hear rustling in the forest and Andrei instinctively turned before walking off toward the treeline on the right hand side. Halfway across the long backyard Angie’s wolf steps out of the trees looking around nervously before seeing Andrei walk toward her, her wolf seems cautious of him before stopping, like she was paralyzed on the spot.
“Is she going to run off?” I wandered aloud to Ezra when I watched her wolf sniff the air before racing towards him. Her wolf tackled him yet he seemed to be expecting that as he grabbed her wolf. I start walking over with the towel knowing Angie will want it so she can shift back, her wolf all but mauling Andrei, licking his face and jumping all over him as he sat on the ground with her wolf thrashing in his arms.
“Alia, I want to meet your human” I hear him tell her wolf, who was excitedly attacking him.
Her wolf was not listening to him but he didn’t seem to mind as he kept pushing her face away trying to get her to shift back. “Little wolf, your human. Shift for me” he commands her wolf and she whines but I could tell he wasn’t commanding her to hurt her because I barely felt his aura and she didn’t look pained, he was simply getting her wolf’s attention. I hand the towel to Andrei before hearing bones snap as Alia listens to him, Andrei wraps the towel around Angie pulling her on his lap.
“I am so sorry about her” Angie tells him clearly mortified over her wolf.
I walk off giving them space, it would be awkward meeting your mate naked in front of other people.
Walking back to Mateo and Ezra we head inside, leaving them be.
“Well that’s one way to get rid of Angie” Mateo says, slapping Ezra’s shoulder who chuckles.
“If she wants to go with him” Ezra says, making coffee. Marge was making sandwiches, I swear she was like a ghost you never heard her come in or leave she suddenly just pops up out of nowhere.
“I will make extras since we now have two extra guests” Marge says and Ezra gives her a nod.
The next week passes by in a blur, Andrei had been staying here most days so he could be with Angie till she decides to go back with him. Everyday we had been working on trying to get me to shift and I was over it, nothing we tried to do worked and I was becoming frustrated with the constant arguing with everyone to be left alone, Ezra had been distant and barely said two words to anyone and had been running pack runs most nights instead of returning home, which would always end up with Mateo and I arguing with him over working too much. It had now been two days since I last saw him, though Mateo did find him passed out on the border when he went looking for him yesterday only to be ordered to go home. Mateo also wouldn’t let me leave to go get him either and said I was too hot headed right now to not cause an argument.
We also heard word back from our scouts that they noticed trucks coming too and from Jackson pack, supplies being brought into town instead of him sending his men out to get them. Which led us to one conclusion: he knew our packs were watching his, which was no surprise, he should have expected it, but it left Ezra on edge wondering why he hasn’t let a single pack member leave the town.
Andrei also offered to let my father go and return him but I told him to keep him for now. I was done with all the lies and until what’s left of my family decides to start being truthful I was not going to be trusting anyone.
Mathias also translated the scrolls and it was exactly what Andrei told us, which was a relief because as excited as I was about having a new
family member it was hard to trust him, knowing he was telling the truth gave me a sense of relief that not everyone was out to get me, but still I would only trust him as far as I could throw him, he said so himself not to trust anyone but my mates and I was doing exactly that.
“I am leaving and heading home today” Andrei tells me, making me open my eyes to look at him where we sat on the grass. I found this meditating crap pointless but he insisted every goddamn day that we do it.
“Is Angie going back with you?” I ask him and he smiles, he does every time someone mentions her name.
“Yes, I will be picking her up in an hour, but I wanted to let you know I was going. That’s why I stayed last night, I was hoping to let Ezra know but he once again isn’t home” I sigh.
“It’s fine, she can leave. I will tell him if he ever comes home” I tell him.
“So you are happy if we call it off early today” I chuckle at his eagerness to see Angie.
“Yes go get your mate” I tell him getting up off the ground. I was glad my ass was going numb, and I was getting nowhere feeling for some energy I just don’t feel or think I possess.
Andrei left after saying goodbye to Mateo, and Marge who left not long after him. Walking over to the fridge I grab a bottle of water out, Mateo walks in his hands going to my hips.
“I like your brother but damn it is good having the house back to ourselves” Mateo says and I agree, maybe Ezra might come home now that Andrei has left but I doubted it because everytime we tried to mindlink him he would shove us back out.
