Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 123

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 123

“Climb them” He says and I climb the ladder before pushing on the grate. I slide it to the side to find I am in the pack hospital and we were in some sort of cleaning room.

Darian’s phone starts ringing and when he climbs out he answers it. The video call connects.

“Done Alpha” The man says and Darian holds the phone to me to show me but I can’t reject him while he is unconscious.

“Get out of there and bring a car to the back door of the hospital we are leaving, leave the phone there so I can see when he wakes and come get us” Darian orders. The man places the phone beside Ezra and I see them walk back off before going into the table drains which lead to the tunnels.

“End of the hall” Darian says, nudging me.

“ So you are just leaving your pack?” I ask him as I open the janitor’s closet and step into the white corridor.

“Yep my sister and I along with you are leaving this dump”

“What about your pack?” I ask him.

“Won’t be any of them left, I have wired all our money to offshore accounts. I don’t need a pack that agrees with my father” I remember Mateo saying something about the bunkers being loaded with explosives, he was planning to k!ll everyone. Anger burns within me, how could he be that sick to k!ll his own pack, the people he was raised to protect, raised with , his friends and family like they mean nothing to him.

“Left” He says at the end of the corridor near the rear fire exit, he pushes a door open before looking a t his watch. “We have thirty minutes to get out of here” he says motioning toward the bed. I see Tabitha hooked up to a ventilator, tubes coming out of her everywhere, her skin grey, her cheeks hollow and she looked like a corpse. I have no idea what sort of disease she has but she looked dead.

“Hurry up, he is waking up get on with it” He snaps, showing me the screen. I see Ezra get up, shaking himself looking dazed before I feel for the bond. I knew I had to be quick in case he commanded me so before he could figure it out, I forced the link.

“I Luna Katya Hartly reject you Ezra Pierce Alpha of the Black Creek pack and renounce my title as your Luna” I gasp out, clutching my chest and Darian Laughs enjoying the agony as he watched Ezra drop on the video recording, clutching his chest. A loud growl erupts from him just as I hear tyres screech outside.

“Now, heal her” He demands. I nod he was going to k!ll me, but I knew they would live, they would live when they aren’t tied to me.

Darian shoves me toward his sister. “Remember I have your brother, I will order him set free once she is healed ” But he was completely unaware of one thing. While Maddox was losing it and k!lling his men, he severed Andrei’s ties. I knew it was only a matter of time before Andrei woke and broke loose, I knew he would follow my scent, follow Darians. I just had to wait him out a little longer, praying he wakes but Darian had no more patience as he shoved me toward his sister and I almost landed on top of her.

He looks out the door to the corridor and I know I a m right, I could hear Andrei in the tunnels, I was outmatched with no wolf, and now basically human with the ability to heal others lucky me. I thought. I wiggled my fingers and am surprised to see my claws slip into the mattress she is laying on. Maybe I am not so defenceless after all. I thought for sure my ability to shift would leave with the bond.

Andrei’s words make me smile. You are the wolf.

“Hurry up, do it now” He snaps. I lean over his sister as I hear a commotion in the hospital

corridors. I reach into my pocket while Darian turns with the gun pointed at the door before I rip the tube out of her throat.

I jam the vial down her throat harshly. I hear her jaw break as the vial breaks in her mouth, my venom sliding down her throat. Before the machines go haywire, screeching loudly and Darian spins around. The growl that escapes him makes me flinch before I lunge at him.

His gun goes off and I feel the bullet graze my arm but I shift tearing into his shoulder before he tosses me off. He shoots blindly and I am hit in the flank making me wheeze. Andrei’s wolf Donnie jumps clean over the top of me tearing him apart. I watched as his arm is ripped off and flung at my feet. Donnie went berserk when I remember we had 30 minutes, maybe 1o left if we are lucky to get them out and I rushed out the fire exit shifting back to toss the door open.

Yet Darian’s men don’t react as I burst through the door; instead they bare their necks in submission and I realise they were waiting for him to die so the command over them drops.

“Dad, where are you?” I ask.

“We are working on getting the last of them out of the community centre bunkers”

“ The bombs are set on a timer, get out of there. Where are my mates?”

“At the school bunker” He says and my stomach drops and I start running.

“Got it, we got the community centre bunkers open, heading for the school” My dad says.

“No, help Andrei. I am at the hospital, he is taking on Darian” I tell him before I turn down the next street and I start running toward my old school.

“Ezra, Mateo” I scream through the link.

“You are in so much shit for rejecting me, ” both of them say at the same time.

“Get out of there” I tell them running toward their location.

“We are, we just got the door open and are letting them out, then I am remarking you” Ezra says and I chuckle.

“Only if you get to her first, I call dibs this time” Mateo teases. I feel relief as the school comes into view and I see everyone racing across the oval to get to safety. Nearly there, I think just as I see Ezra and Mateo rush out the double door at the front of the school. I reach the gates and am about to race through them when I feel the ground moving under my feet making me stop for a second before a scream leaves my lips.

I see the ground start exploding on the oval like land mines are going off, the school exploding, the windows blowing out and the entire building shaking before combusting into a pile of rubble and fire. The ground swallowing those running on the ovals and my screams echoed as their loved ones raced to try to save their families. I force my legs to keep moving as I race toward my mates. When a second explosion goes off across the town the air fills with another plume of smoke. The air leaves m y lungs when I find them.

I collapsed beside them where they managed to make it before everything went wrong. Mateo had a piece of rebar through him and I pulled it from his chest before moving to Ezra whose lower half was crushed under the brick wall as it tore from the building. It took everything to drag his lower half out with the help from some warriors lifting the broken brick wall, his legs and pelvis and chest crushed under the weight.

Both of them are dead, and as I looked out at the carnage left. Hear everyone howling and wailing for their loved ones. I was reminded of Marabella

trying to heal her fallen pack before she couldn’t no more. I could save them but I look around at the gut wrenching scene before me, smoke filling the air and the place looked every part of a war zone, bodies scattered and lives destroyed all for greed, this was a battlefield and these were its victims.

Victims of greed, victims of a dictator who had no care for the victims of a war they never asked for.

“She could have saved them” I chuckled at my newfound clarity before looking down at my mates’ broken forms.

“She just had to give her life for them” I whisper the Moon Goddess’ words replaying like a broken record.

“I will pay the ultimate sacrifice and you will live” I tell my mates, I could save them or I could give everything and save them all. One life for all of theirs, it was simple and an easy decision even though I wasn’t just sacrificing my life but my future, their future that is growing within me.

“I am sorry Seline and I forgive you. I forgive you for what you did” I chuckled at my insanity before digging my hands into the earth.

I feel my contact lenses melting away as I feel my energy heat up like a beacon. I feel it build before I feel my magic slip out, feel it caress over the ground moving like a fog, and I see its tendrils oozing into everyone, joining them and healing them while I feel myself slipping, slipping further to the abyss and I scream my anger, my heartache and I scream for me, for the future I will never have and for every goddamn thing that’s been taken from me, but this, this wasn’t taken.
