Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 158
Andrei goes to say something, when I hear a bang noise making not only me jump but Andrei.
“You heard that right?” I ask, making sure I wasn’t hearing things at the ass crack of dawn.
“Yeah must be someone needing to speak to me, wait here” He says climbing off the bed. Yet why wouldn’t they mindlink him, why bang on the door instead. I sit up watching him leave when the banging gets worse before I hear a man’s muffled voice yelling for help. I jump out of bed my heart pounding so loudly I could hear it, feel it in every pulse point.
“Stay in the room, ” Andrei says, closing the door, but I move anyway following him out.
“Are we under attack?” I ask him, suddenly petrified. Yet looking back in the room and out the windows I could see nothing, just the first glimmers of the sky changing to welcome the new day arriving.
“Go back to bed, I will be back in a minute” Andrei says but I clutch his arm not wanting to go without him when I hear another thump and Andrei growls frighteningly.
“That sounded like it was coming from inside” I whisper before stepping closer to the stairs, only for Andrei to pull me back, his behaviour seeming odd, if we were under attack why hadn’t his alarms gone off?
“Go back to the room Sage” Andrei says, pushing me toward it but I shake my head instead following him down the stairs when the man’s voice becomes louder and louder and I realize the noise was indeed coming from inside. I could barely make it out but it was coming from inside when I heard the bang again, my eyes darted to the basement door. My stomach sinks, and Andrei freezes on the top step.
“Have you got someone down there?” I ask him, though I knew the answer already by the man thumping on the steel door.
“Go back to the room” Andrei says walking down the steps and turning toward the basement door. I shake my head, refusing to.
“No, what are you going to do?” I ask him, rushing down the steps after him.
“What I have to do, Sage. Now go back to the room?”
“You can’t kill him. Andrei” I tell him. Andrei growls before turning on his heel and heading back toward the stairs but I run down them before he could reach them knowing he was intending on dragging me back to the room kicking and screaming. Feeling his annoyance through the bond.
“Sage! ” Andrei snaps, and my pulse quickens at the anger in his voice and Sierra lurches forward with me.
“Sage just listen to him before you make him mad” “He won’t hurt us” I tell her ignoring her warning.
“You don’t know that” she retorts. Andrei angry was frightening and I nearly reconsidered running to the room as he stalked toward me, making me step back and suck in a sharp breath. My heart felt like it was doing backflips and my stomach dropped somewhere cold within me. I don’t understand why I was suddenly standing here and arguing with him but the bond was telling me not to back down from him, though I was pretty sure I was about to wet my pants the closer he got when he stopped letting out a breath.
“He is just rogue Sage, just go back to the room so I can deal with it”
“I am a rogue Andrei” I tell him my voice comes off stronger then I felt.
“It’s not the same thing”
“It is, you were a rogue once and shouldn’t you feel compassion for them not a need to hurt them” I ask him. The banging starts again, my eyes darting to the basement door nervously before he has a chance to answer, I dart past him to head for the door when Andrei grabs me around the waist, making me shriek when my feet leave the ground. Andrei starts walking towards the stairs dragging me with him.
“No, you can’t keep hurting them, why do you keep hurting them” I scream at him before biting his arm trying to make him let go. He growls but doesn’t let go when the front door is suddenly swung open and Zane runs in. He looks to us on the stairs while I struggle to get out of Andrei’s grip.
“Alpha, what are”
“DEAL WITH HIM WHILE I DEAL WITH HER”
