Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 128

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 128

Shifting we follow her scent, Donnie looking for any sign of the she-wolf, she was lithe on her feet, and quick. She would have been hard to find except the clink of the chain that was still attached to her neck hitting the ground as she ran from us.

We make our way around the mountain she was heading in the direction of home but when I came to the river all noise was drowned out by the waterfall.

Smart, she knows her scent would be hard to find yet I couldn’t hear the chain any more.

“Maybe she stopped” Donnie whines sniffing the ground and following the river.

“She might have jumped in to be washed downstream” I tell him.

“Get the pack out here” he says and I have to agree better with more eyes. I open the link feeling for what was left of the pack, I hated it, hated feeling their sadness yet rarely used the link to teether us all.

“There is a grey she-wolf along the border somewhere with blue eyes, help me find her but no one is to touch her” I command them before hearing a chorus of yes Alpha.

“What if she steps over into one of the traps?” Donnie asks.

“Shit, I didn’t think of that” I tell him shifting back. My pack knew where the bear traps were, knew where the ground would swallow them but she wouldn’t know. I walk through the river before climbing out. I could hear my men running through the forest.

“No one touches her” I remind them.

“Exactly how do you expect them to catch her if they can’t touch her” Donnie asks.

“They don’t need to touch her to catch her” I tell him and he growls as I pick up a stick.

“We can check the motion sensors at home and at least we will know if she crossed the river” I told him. Grabbing a stick we head home and I hit any bear traps setting them off on the way and I uncover one of the holes that was placed to catch anyone off guard. It was going to be a pain resetting them.

Unlocking the door, I walk to my surveillance room, checking the wildlife cameras. I could see my men searching.

“Colten set off the traps near you in case she stumbles across them” I mindlink seeing him come into the picture.

“Alpha, is there a reason we are searching for this wolf?” He asks, while shifting. I watch as he grabs a stick, setting some traps off.

“I will explain later when I know for sure” I tell him.

“Know for sure, I didn’t imagine it. Andrei she is our mate” Donnie says, yet second chance mates were unheard of so I found myself wondering if I truly had lost the plot.

Hours passed of me staring at the camera’s when I caught sight of something coming into focus.

Staring at the other cameras my men had also picked up something. I could just make her out stepping into some foliage, the chain dragging behind her when she crouches down low, she could sense them too.

“Got her” one of my men link when she takes off heading back toward the river, she realised she had stepped on claimed territory.

“No one touches her”

“Yep we know” someone says and I walk into my room to grab some shorts.

“She has gone into a cave behind the waterfall,” Colten tells me.

“Stand guard, I will be there soon” I tell him before locking the packhouse up and heading toward the trees.

“The cave doesn’t lead anywhere does it?” I ask making sure she couldn’t escape.

“No it is only small and a dead end, she won’t get past us” he replies and I pick up my pace. Donnie was eager to get to her, so was I to make sure it wasn’t a trick of the mind.

I follow the river to their location toward the base of the mountain.

“You can go” I tell the 7 pack members staring at the entrance of the cave. Water obscured it as it rolled down the mountain and I realised this must have been where she was hiding and we walked straight past her.

They leave and I step into the water gripping the rocks so I don’t wash away before forcing myself through the waterfall, the weight of the pressure forcing me under before I come out to a hollow in the mountain.

Her scent instantly invades my senses before a growl erupts from her. I step inside The small cave. The air smelt damp and mouldy. It was dark and if I was human it would have been impossible to see inside.

I walk about halfway before spotting her, her head down baring her teeth as a growl tore out of her.

Her eyes crazed with her fear, fight or flight kicking and I could tell she was willing to try to fight her way out so instead I sat down. She quiets not taking her eyes off me just standing there waiting to see what I would do.

” I have no intentions of hurting you” I tell her yet she doesn’t relax, she was acting as any caged animal would act. I had no doubt she would attack me if I tried getting closer.

“Just wait her out, she will settle when she realises we mean her no harm” Donnie says. I could feel him watching her through my eyes, yet he didn’t want to scare her.

Hours passed and she never moved closer just stood there watching like a statue.

“Can you speak to her wolf or her human counterpart?” I ask Donnie.

“Tried she doesn’t reply just growls at me”

“Colten bring me a shirt and some food and water”
