Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 16

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 16
I watch as she walks away heading inside after him. I sat there seething at her, my intense anger toward her shocked me. I hated her, hated the girl with a passion. Looking around the backyard I look up to see shocked faces staring at me. I stare back wondering what their problem is, wondering if I have food on my face. Wiping my face on the back of my hand I come up empty, so I was unsure why the sudden stares were focused on me. Getting up, I go to walk inside, turning to go back to the door when I notice something strange, nobody had turned their gazes from me.

Anger bubbling within like a hot poker as I walked back to the house, people stepping out of my way and dropping their heads. What the F*ck is wrong with them? I wondered as they hurriedly moved away from me like I was contagious. I felt tears start to brim at the embarrassment like I was doing some walk of shame but for something I had no clue of doing.

I was being shunned, just like back home. This pack was no different. I would always be the freak. Escaping everyone’s eyes I raced to my room taking the steps two at a time before locking eyes with Angie coming down the stairs next to my room. We stared at each other and she smiles smugly. I felt something twist painfully in my chest when I saw the Alpha walk down the steps behind her. Placing his hand on her shoulder, my stomach drops.

The Alpha looks up, notices me and an indecipherable expression crossing his face and I take off, running into the room and locking it. What was wrong with me? I really was a freak, but seeing him with her coming down from his quarters hurt. I couldn’t explain it, I knew it was irrational of me to think this way, like I had some invisible claim to him. I hear a knock on the door as I lean against it. I jump back away from it staring as the handle twists.

“Kat are you okay?” I hear his voice on the other side of the door, twisting the knife harder in my chest, my throat becoming clogged with emotion I couldn’t control or explain.

“Kat tell me what’s wrong?” I hear The Alpha’s voice rise slightly higher, almost panicked sounding. I hear footsteps outside in the hall before hearing Mateo’s voice.

“Everything okay Alpha?” He asks him.

“I don’t know” I hear the Alpha reply to him. The door handle jiggling as he tries to open it.

“She is probably on her period, pay her no attention Alpha” I hear Angie’s voice burn my ears. I see red, uncontrollable anger erupting from me and I grip the door handle reefing the door open.

I see Angies face pale and Mateo and Ezra take a step back from a vicious growl that suddenly escapes my lips, not only shocking Angie who looked on the verge of wetting her pants but myself. I had never made a noise like that. The tension in the air felt like it was rippling and Angie took a panicked step back when I lunged at her.

I see it a second too late as Mateo and Ezra both lunge at me, at the same second. Ezra’s arms wrapping around my waist securely ripping me back away from her. Mateo moves out of the way just in time as my leg kicks out aiming for Angie’s terrified face.
