Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 13
Alpha Ezra shows me inside, Beta Mateo was waiting in the foyer when we arrived with my backpack. He hands it to me but Alpha Ezra takes it throwing it over his shoulder before leading me up the stairs to the second floor of the building. He pulls me down the long hallway. Multiple doors ran along both sides and I could only assume they must have been other bedrooms. Walking to the last door in the long hallway next to yet another flight of stairs leading to the third level, he opens the door revealing a bedroom.
“You can stay in here, if you need me just follow the stairs on your right they lead to upstairs where mine and Mateo’s bedrooms are” He says placing my bag on the edge of the double bed. The room was nice, nicer than my bedroom back home and all the furniture matched.
“You remember where the bathrooms are and the shower block?” He asks. I nod Mateo showed us the first night we came here. They were downstairs, up the corridors running alongside the stairs.
“Well I will let you get settled. I will be upstairs if you need me” He says walking out and closing the door. I sit on the edge of the bed. Rummaging through my bag, I find some pajamas and my toiletries bag. My mother must have packed it, well I hope she did. I didn’t like the idea of Mateo rummaging through my drawers. Grabbing my stuff, I walk downstairs. Before turning left at the stairs and following the corridor down to the showers.
Walking inside I flick the light on. There are six showers in little curtained stalls. I go to the first one pulling the curtain closed behind me before stripping off and turning the shower on. I adjust the temperature till it is perfect before stepping in.
My father mindlinks me while I am washing my hair. “Hey Pumpkin you get to the packhouse okay?”
“Yep, currently showering”
“You like the packhouse, where did he put you?”
“Second floor,” I tell him trying to get the soap out of my eyes that was now searing my eyeballs out of my head. I blindly reached for my shirt on the floor. I just took off rubbing my eyes and ridding it of the soap burning them. I blink a couple of times.
“He put you on the second floor?” My father asks.
“Yeah where else would he put me, the third floor is where the Beta and Alpha stay. Did you think he would put me outside?” I chuckle.
“No, of course not. Nevermind. I was going to come see you tomorrow, but I will wait till the night of the pack run” Sh*t! The pack run, that means this place will be bustling tomorrow night, and then I also have to find a reason to excuse myself from partaking in the pack run.
“What do I do about the pack run?” I ask him.
“Just go out when everyone else does but wander off and lay low. We will come find you” I nod, I could do that, hide away from everyone. Piece of cake I was already invisible here.
“Okay we will see you Friday night, I know Alpha Ezra has excused you from school tomorrow, so just relax. I love you Kat” My father tells me before cutting the l**k. I finish washing before hopping out and getting changed quickly. I didn’t like the way the bathroom was set up. Like I know nudity wasn’t a big thing in wolf packs but it kind of was for me, the only people that have seen me naked were my parents. And thankfully the showers cubicles were empty because the showers themselves were too small to get dressed in, without wetting your clothes. Grabbing my toothbrush I make my way to the sinks, and quickly brush my teeth.
I hear the soft sounds of whispers out in the hallway but not quite hear what was being said. Rinsing my mouth out. I creep to the door listening intently.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about Jackson. Why would I have any of your pack members on my territory” I hear Alpha Ezra say. It was clear he was on the phone to someone. I hear Mateo make a strange noise and pop my head out of the bathroom but see no one. Making my way to the stairs I look over the railing and can see his office door slightly ajar and the light was now on.
“Well your daughter must have deserved it, but I assure you. If you step one foot on my territory Jackson I will retaliate” Alpha Ezra growls and I hear him slam what I assume is the phone down.
“All this over a few members leaving?” I hear Mateo ask.
“Well Derrick was his Beta, I would be upset if I lost you” I hear him tell Mateo.
