Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 11

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 11

I follow Shirley out of the room. I grip her arm dragging her away and out of earshot of Katya. I hear the door shut and know Mateo shut it to keep her from listening in.

Shirley however turns around and glares at me. ” My daughter is your mate isn’t she?” She demands.

“You don’t demand answers from me, why would you poison your own daughter?”

” I told you why, she needs to build up a tolerance”

“Where did you get it from” wolfsbane was banned in our pack, from most packs. Her heart rate skips a beat and I could smell her fear at answering.

“I grew it” she admits, stunning me further. Wolfsbane was allowed to grow in the wild naturally because we know better to touch but it was illegal to grow it.

“Where and how much have you got left?” I ask before sniffing the air. She looks away defiantly.

“I don’t get it, why would you want to grow it and use it on your own daughter. None of this makes sense, you know I could have you banished for this or have you killed. Is that why you left your last pack to avoid punishment?”

“No, we were banished, or going to be anyway because I hit the Alpha’s daughter” Shirley tells me, not giving anything away yet I knew there were other reasons. Something in my gut telling me something else was going on.

“Katya will be staying at the packhouse until further notice, tell your husband to drop her things off tomorrow” I tell her. She goes to object when I glare at her forcing her mouth shut.

“I wasn’t asking, until I know what is going on. She remains with me” I turn to go back to the room when she speaks.

“Can I at least speak with her privately? I need to apologise, know she doesn’t hate me. I honestly didn’t realise how much was in those pills” She says.

“Not until you hand your stash over, you won’t be going near her ” I tell her mother. Shirley presses her lips in a line before reaching into her back pocket and pulling out what I thought at first was a wallet. She grabs my hand shoving the container in it.

“I want to see my daughter” She growls at me before realising what she did. My eyes turning to that of my beast make her step back.

“If she permits it” I tell her, turning my back on her and walking into the room and shutting the door in her face. I noticed her remain at the door.

Katya looking behind me worriedly, Mateo sitting on the edge of the bed. He quickly moves and I sit beside her.

“Is my mother okay?’ She asks. She nearly died because of the woman yet she was more worried about her then the fact the very same woman she was worried about nearly murdered her.

“She is fine, she wants to speak to you. I told her it was up to you, though I don’t know why you would ever want to see her again after what she did” I told her.

“She is my mother, she would never intentionally hurt me” Katya says looking back at the door.

“Do you want to see her?”

“Yes, I want to go home now” She says.

“We will talk about that after your mother leaves, I will give you five minutes with her”

“Wait, what do you mean after she leaves?”

“You’re not going home Kat, you’re staying with me” I tell her and I hear her heart rate start pumping in her chest, her breathing getting heavier.

“No, I want to go home, I need to go home” She says with tears in her eyes and Mateo looks over at me, her fear of going home with me was leaking from her pores, suffocatingly strong. Why was she scared, we hadn’t done anything to her, yet she wants to go home with the monster she calls mother.

“We will talk about it after your mother leaves” I tell her, motioning for Mateo to leave. He dashes out the door quickly and her mother steps in before moving to her side.

“What did you do to her?” She demands brushing Katya’s hair from her face, trying to calm her down. My mate looked like she was hyperventilating.

“Nothing, you have five minutes,” I tell her, walking out. My wolf urged me to stay and calm my mate but I would when her mother was gone. Doc comes out after me a few seconds later.
