Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 138

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 138

I woke to Zane carrying me and I jumped up in his arms. “Shh Luna go back to sleep, I won’t hurt you” He whispers before placing me on the bed upstairs. I look around and he tugs the blanket up before walking out and closing the door. I was usually a light sleeper so I was startled a little that he was able to move me without waking me. Hearing voices, I realize Andrei is home. I listened to their voices in the hall. It sounded like they were near the basement. I could hear muffled noises like someone was gagged and I was too scared to go see which poor soul he was taking to his torture dungeon.

“Where did you find them?” I hear Zane ask Andrei.

“Outskirts just help me get them down there and strapped to the tables before she notices” Andrei says and I creep to the door before cracking it open to hear better. I hear them walk down the steps before returning a few minutes later.

“You can go home Zane” Andrei tells him. Zane leaves and I hear Andrei go back down to the basement and I close the door, locking it before climbing under the covers and pulling it over my head so I don’t have to listen to their muffled screams. That would be me one day on that table and that thought petrified me.

“Mate won’t do that, Donnie wouldn’t allow it” Sierra says and she seems so sure of her words.

“It’s wrong” I tell her and she says nothing for a few seconds, she knew his secret toirture dungeon was wrong yet she was convinced he had his reasons.

“He won’t hurt us Sage, he would never hurt us” “He locked us in the trunk of his car Sierra” How

could she forget? Or was the mate bond that strong t o her that she could oversee it.

“Yes but did he hurt us? He didn’t beat us like the rogues used to, he didn’t do the things they did and he could have but he didn’t” Sierra defends him. I shake my head not agreeing but she was right, he hadn’t hurt us so far but that doesn’t mean I trust him when he is in the basement torturing some poor innocent soul for his own sick entertainment.

“Donnie says they are not innocent, ” Sierra says. “In his eyes no rogue is innocent”

“He used to be a rogue, Donnie told me they used to be rogue before Alpha”

“If he was rogue how could he do that to another rogue”

“Donnie says it helps him sleep drowns out the images of his mate”

“Andrei said she was murdered” I tell her and she nods her head at me when I hear the door open. I was sure I locked it.

“He has a key” Sierra says and I snuggle under the blankets. Andrei walks into the bathroom and I could smell the scent of blood covering his hands, the familiar stench of rogues we all smelt the same. Well obviously I didn’t to Andrei but in general all rogues usually smell the same, like decaying leaves and dirt. Andrei walks into the bathroom and I hear him turn the shower on. The light filtering into the room and steam billows out the door despite being able to hear the exhaust fan in the bathroom.

The smell of citrus soap wafting into the room and after around ten minutes I hear the water cut off before Andrei steps out with a grey towel hanging low on his hips. His chest bare and his hair dripping as he uses another towel to dry his hair. Andrei’s body was all rock hard muscle but he was too big for abs, he had the lines but too much muscle and too widely built instead he looked just hard, like a wall of muscle. His V-line escaped underneath the towel and his pees moved with each movement as he dried his hair. He walks over to the bedside drawer before grabbing out a pair of boxers before dropping the towel and I instantly roll over.

“If I climb in there are you going to freak out or behave? If you are, tell me and I will sleep downstairs” He says and I hear him hang his towel over the door.

“Sage?” Andrei asks and I half roll onto my back as he crawls on the bed.

“Can I sleep in here or do you want me to go?” He asks.

“Sleep where you want” I tell him wondering why he is asking for permission to sleep in his own bed.

“ I would rather sleep in here with you, but I don’t want to make you uncomfortable ” He says still not moving.

“Are you still mad that I ran?” I ask him looking over my shoulder.

“Extremely, but I get it, you don’t know me and I a m sorry I put you in the trunk”

“ I’m sorry I ran” I tell him and his brows furrow before he nods his head.

“So can I sleep in here with you?” He asks.

“Why are you asking, it is your bed” I tell him, this man was absurd it should be the other way around me asking to sleep in here. This isn’t my house.

“Because I don’t want to just climb in bed with you and you freak out, I can sleep elsewhere; it is your choice” Andrei says. I toss the blanket back and he sighs before climbing in beside me. He doesn’t touch me just lays on his back stiffly. He tugs the blanket up and I feel him roll but I keep my back to him.

After a while my heart rate slows and I feel myself drifting off as his scent fills the room and I find it oddly calming even Sierra was rather mellowed out.

The next week passes by quickly. I never leave the packhouse. Andrei was basically keeping me prisoner and besides the library I rarely left the room unless called upon. Andrei left daily and for the most part when he thought I was asleep he would sneak into the basement. I could hear their agonised screams and pretend not to notice the whimpers that escaped out the door when he sometimes went down there during the day which was rare especially if I was on the floor. He was always careful never to leave it unlocked, never to come out drenched in blood. Sierra had also become nervous. The longer we were locked in the house

the more she came to realise this was just another prison. The forest was right there yet we couldn’t reach it, couldn’t feel the dirt beneath our paws.

Sierra’s anxiety wasd mingled with my own and for the last two days we had returned to our wolf form. Andrei had been especially quiet and moody. He barely said anything and sometimes I got this strange feeling he was looking straight through me, like I didn’t exist.

Feeling the bed move, I open my eyes to see Andrei lay down on the bed. “Shift back” He growls annoyed, he had said it a few times the last few days annoyed that we returned to a more comfortable form, but that wasn’t our only reasoning. Donnie was anxious to mark us and we both knew the moment he did we could go into heat. Andrei couldn’t mate us in this form, though Donnie could, we would be able to shift back quickly if needed.

“Sierra shift back please” Andrei says, annoyed fisting our fur and tugging us closer. I growl at him before forcing control and biting his hand. Donnie was angry with him and I could hear his wolf apologising to Sierra.
