Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 116
Waking up, I felt like I had been hit by a truck every muscle in my body was aching but that stupid phone just wouldn’t stop ringing. I tap Ezra’s chest trying to wake him. How could he not hear it, my head was pounding to its own beat and the incessant noise was not helping. Reaching over him to the nightstand, I pick up his phone and answer it since Ezra was dead to the world.
I squint at the screen and see Alex’s name appear before answering it. “Hello” I ask, damn I even sounded like shit, can’t even keep the exhaustion from my voice, yeah can’t half tell what we were doing all night.
“Luna? Sorry but you need to put Alpha on it is urgent” Alex’s voice says through the phone.
I shake Ezra and he mumbles.
“I can’t get ahold of him through the mindlink” Alex says and I could hear something alert in his voice.
“Ezra! Wake up Alex is on the phone” I tell him, shaking him.
“Who?” He mumbles rolling onto his stomach.
“Alex” I tell him and his eyes fly open and I nearly fall off the bed from his abrupt movement as he sits up with me half sprawled across him.
He grabs the phone out of my hand and I sit before rolling back to the middle of the bed on my back. I feel him get out of bed. “What when?” Ezra says.
“How many?” I hear him say. Mateo sits up tossing the blanket back before rubbing his hands down his face.
“Just give me an hour I will meet you at there” Ezra says “Why is everyone so loud this morning?” Mateo whines before looking over at Ezra. He notices him on the phone and sits up straighter and Ezra hangs up the phone before walking into the bathroom.
“What’s going on?” Mateo says as Ezra walks into the bathroom.
“This morning a heap trucks and armoured vehicles left Jackson’s. They have been sitting on the border between packs”
“So he is on his way here?” Mateo says, getting up.
“No, the trucks have stopped at the human town an hour from here ” Ezra says and I hear him turn the shower on.
“Wait, he is in human territory?” Mateo says leaning on the bathroom door.
“F*ck! ”I hear Mateo mutter.
“Why is that a bad thing. He hasn’t come here?” I didn’t understand why that was bad. Maybe they were supply trucks.
“Because Jackson is smart, he knows we can’t start anything on human land, it is neutral territory and off limits. We would risk exposing what we are, he seems to be waiting us out or waiting for something”
“So whose packs is he bordering?” I ask now wide awake and alert.
“Ours and Andrei’s, he took the mountains detouring all pack territories so no one can touch him until he steps over a boarder and he has evaded everyone to get here”
“So what are you going to do?” I ask him.
“Andrei is already on his way here, Alex rang him when he couldn’t get a hold of me” Ezra says and I nod. Makes sense since Jackson is also bordering Andrei’s pack.
“So what do you want us to do?” I ask Ezra.
“Nothing, stay here. I will handle it. We are just scoping it out, to see how many there are and if he is likely to attack” I hear Ezra say.
I sigh but figure he will do his thing because I know nothing of borders and strategic crap they handle daily. Ezra showers quickly before walking out and grabbing some shorts from the closet.
“Go back to sleep, I hopefully won’t be long” He says but now I was wide awake. I watch him get dressed before he pecks my lips before walking into the bathroom where Mateo went. I watch him open up the shower screen.
“Watch Kat” He says.
“Always” I hear Mateo tell him before watching Ezra kiss him before walking out back into the bedroom.
“Stay with Mateo, and behave, no leaving the packhouse not until I know what’s going on” Ezra says. I nod yawning and get up to go shower, the room smelt like a brothel and I smelt heavily of bodily fluids.
“Love you” I call to Ezra.
“Love you more” I heard him call from the hallway as he walked downstairs. I hear the roller shutters lift before light fills the bathroom and I don’t even remember them being closed which is odd because they are quite loud as they open and close.
I hop in the shower and start washing myself, the water helping my aching muscles before the smell of coconut shampoo and soap surrounds me.
“You don’t seem too worried,” I tell Mateo,
handing him the soap.
“No, Ezra will check it out” he says and I nod, grabbing my toothbrush from the cup in the niche.
After we showered we made breakfast, the morning passing by quickly, hearing my phone ringing, I duck upstairs to retrieve it from the charging dock. I was a little surprised to see Angie’s name pop up on the screen.
I answer it, swallowing the chunk of apple that I was chewing on. “Hey Ange”
Yet she says nothing but I could hear her breathing before she hiccups.
“Angie?”
“I want to come home, Please kat you have to help me ” She says before crying. I look at the screen to make sure it was definitely Angie’s name I saw.
“What? Why what’s going on?” I ask her.
“Nothing, I just miss home. I hate it here” She says sniffling.
“Where is my brother?” I ask her wondering if he did something to upset her.
“With Ezra at something, I don’t know he never tells me anything” She says. I think trying to think of anything that she would possibly be upset about, maybe she was just home sick.
“Please Kat, you have to help me. I can’t live like this” She says and I see Mateo walk into the room leaning on the door frame to see who I was talking.
“Why what happened, you seemed all lovey dovey here” I ask her wondering what could possibly be upsetting her.
“It was until I got here, everything is different here, it’s not like the pack back home. I want to come home, please Kat”
“He didn’t hurt you did he?”
