Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 148

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 148

Andrei POV

Zane’s voice in my head woke me from the first decent night’s sleep I got. A growl escapes me as my eyes fly open to him yelling for me to wake up through the mindlink. I quickly suppress it when I see it is still dark out, looking over my shoulder Sage was still sleeping soundly. I rub my eyes trying to wake up before replying to his incessant calling.

“What?” I ask annoyed. I hadn’t slept so deeply since before Angie died and Zane and his big mouth had to ruin it.

“9 were spotted along the border scouting” He says and I force myself to my feet. I walk out of the bedroom and down the hall toward my surveillance room, yet I couldn’t feel the unease of trespassers close to the borderline. Surely I didn’t sleep that deeply that I ignored it. Flicking on the screens, I scan them but nothing seems amiss. I change the camera angles scouring every inch of the borders but still nothing.

“I see nothing” I tell Zane.

“Me either but border patrol was adamant they saw them, they seem to have fled then” Zane says but now I was awake I knew I wouldn’t be going back to sleep anytime soon.

“Get everyone on patrol to meet out the front of the Packhouse” I tell Zane before walking back to my bedroom to retrieve a shirt. Stepping out of the walk-in robe I tug my shirt over my head before seeing Sage sit up looking at me sleepily.

“What’s going on?” She asks while yawning. She turns her head to the windows.

“Nothing go back to sleep ” I tell her but she was already swinging her legs over the side of the bed.

“Where are you going?” She asks, walking into the bathroom and closing the door. I wait for her to come out and she walks back toward the bed. But instead of climbing in on her side she lays down on mine pressing her face into my pillow before sighing. I chuckled at her. It was clear she was not completely awake and by the time I walked over to her she was asleep again purring in her sleep.

“Huh well at least we don’t stink, she clearly likes our scent”. Donnie says watching our mate as he peered through my eyes. I tug the blanket up before walking out and down the steps. I could hear my men gathering out front of the Packhouse already and picked up my pace as I rush down the steps before they started waking everyone. I walk toward the front door placing my hand on the panel and the locks groan and twist before the handle jolts. I push on it and step outside into the cool brisk night air. It was a full moon tonight lighting everything up. I shiver, I loved full moons, there was always a thrilling buzz in the air on full moon, something energising that made Donnie want to howl at the moon and the stars while running wild in the forest and give into our most primal instincts.

By the looks of my men they wanted to do the same and I see a few faces that weren’t even on patrol tonight but were clearly too wired to ignore the moon calling to them.

“We didn’t wake up Luna?” Casen asks, he was one the youngest left in the pack, luckily he asked to do scout training and had been with us, he was 17 and looked so much like his mother with his long blonde hair and hazel eyes, his eyes looking at me worriedly like he thought he was in trouble.

“No Casen” I tell him and he lets out a breath. Casen and his identical twin brother who wasn’t amongst this lot were the youngest that survived the massacre of our pack. I was one of the oldest Zane and I are only three weeks apart and which would now make our pack the youngest pack in the country and also the smallest, leaving us open to this nightmare we were currently living in. All made worse by the fact that we were once like those we were up against and desperation and fear make people willing to do anything.

“How many and which one of you saw them?” I ask them and Casen and Malik both put up their hands. Malik was in his mid twenties and after Casen and his twin brother Vince lost their mother leaving them Orphaned both boys moved into his place when it was rebuilt to keep an eye on them. Malik lost all 7 of his siblings and his parents in the masacre along with his mate and I know having the twins with him had helped keep him sane.
