Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 160

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 160

Sage POV

Andrei was gone for three days, I hadn’t seen him and I was starting to worry. After the second day m y anger diffused and I wanted to understand, tried to understand. Every morning Zane let me out of the Packhouse with Casen who had been training me with Zane. I liked Casen, he was easy to get along with and Zane was more relaxed around him and not so on edge. In fact the entire pack was more relaxed with Andrei gone making me realize how much his behaviour was affecting his pack too.

Slipping on my runners quickly, I glance at the alarm clock to see Casen and Zane would be here soon. I rummaged through the bathroom drawer looking for a hair tie before tying my hair up in a ponytail.

Rushing down the steps, I wait by the door. This was my favourite part of the day, I got out for a few hours before being escorted back. I asked Zane when Andrei would be back because being locked up was driving me nuts, though he went against Andrei letting me out the other night while everyone was drinking and playing cricket out the front of the Packhouse.

I felt a bit awkward though once they were all drunk and stumbling over each other and asked Zane to let me go home. He surprisingly never drank and neither did Casen, Vince or Malik which I was surprised about. From what I could tell Zane was running things but assured me Andrei would return, though I was nervous about seeing him again after our argument.

Casen and Zane tried over the last few days to explain his obsession with killing rogues but none of it made sense to me because I saw no end to it.

The door opens and I see Casen and Zane waiting out the front before doing a double take of Casen. “ Vince?” I ask, there was something off about him. Casen was more bubbly, and always wore his signature smirk which wasn’t in place today.

“Ah I thought we could trick you Luna” He laughs.

“Where is Casen?” I ask, I usually train with Casen not Vince, not that I minded but I had grown used to his outgoing personality. Vince was a little more quiet but when Casen and Vince were together they were little jerks always shoving each other and clowning around.

“Patrol duty with Malik” Zane answers as I follow him to the clearing that was used for a training ground.

It was already warm this morning, the sun already out and beaming brightly, not a cloud in the sky as we trekked up the hill to the training ground where everyone else was training.

“Will you be ok training with Vince?” Zane asks and I nod.

“I will go easy on you?” He laughs and I roll my eyes. I was getting used to defending myself against a wolf, the hand to hand stuff though had caused a few freak outs.

I start stretching when we reach the spot, Vince doing the same making me stop and look at Zane. “ I know you hate it, Luna but you can’t just train against a wolf, ” Zane says, making my heart skip a beat.

“They won’t hurt us” Sierra reminds me and I knew they wouldn’t but certain things trigger my memories shoving me back to the past. I couldn’t control it, though Zane was quick to notice and so was Casen but Vince I hadn’t trained with him before.

“Maybe we skip today?” I tell him already feeling anxiety creep up and start to set in.

“No, you need to learn to adjust Sage, if you really have to defend yourself, it won’t be Casen you will be defending yourself from or me” He says.

Vince continues stretching and I mimic him until Zane tells us to take our stance.

2 hours later I was drenched in sweat, my muscles aching as I tried to defend myself against his attacks, Zane correcting my movements when I got them wrong or showing me new ways to get out of different scenarios.

I took my position again but I was growing sluggish, the heat becoming too much so when Vince lunged at me and knocked me down. I barely feel it, until his weight is pressing down on my back. I try to roll to get him off my back and swing my arm back trying to elbow him when he catches my arm before grabbing the other pinning them behind my back. I could feel Vince’s breath on my neck. Sierra doing her usual chanting in my head when I start to feel claustrophobic and start freaking out.

“It’s Vince Sage, just Vince, just a 17 year old boy who is our friend” She repeats over and over in my head. I hated being pinned, and hated feeling weight pressing down on me. I had gone the entire session without one meltdown and now I was tired. I was losing focus, and also losing it, being plunged back to being with my captors. My breathing becomes shallow as I start to panic when suddenly Zane drops down on his stomach near my face.

“Think Sage, think about the position you’re in”

“I am thinking about the position I am in, Zane ” I snap at him trying to keep focused. I try to wiggle my arms free but he pulls them higher up my back making me cry out before he loosened his grip instead holding me firmly, his knees digging into the back of my thighs.

“Think Sage, you can get out of this” Zane says but I was going into panic mode. Shutting down, as I tried to push up on my knees, he had me pinned and I saw no way out, I wasn’t strong enough to lift his weight, not without at least one arm out. I could

hear Zane talking to me, trying to tell me what to do but I couldn’t understand him as his voice became softer and further away.

“Off her, stop, she is done for today” I hear Zane yell before his weight lifts. Zane starts clapping in front of my face trying to bring me back to the present.

“Luna right here” I hear him trying to get my attention. I could hear Sierra telling me to breathe and I rolled on my back draping my arm over my eyes shielding my face from the sun and trying to catch my breath.

 

“Ok, no more training until Andrei comes back unless it is training with your wolf” Zane says. Vince was sitting beside me, with his knees bent with his arms resting on them. He was covered in sweat too as I tried to calm myself and he tried to catch his breath.

“I hope that is bloody soon” I hear Vince say, making me look at him.

“I spoke to Derrick, he will be here tomorrow”

Zanes says.

“Alpha know?” Vince asks.

“ I mindlinked him, he didn’t reply but I know he heard me”

“Did he say when he would be back?” I ask but he shakes his head sadly.

“No, but he will come back Sage” Zane says and I nod while sitting up before getting to my feet.
