Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 163

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 163

Andrei POV

I sat in my office bored as I looked over the business portfolio’s. I really needed to get into the City and check on things. Some of our pack businesses had taken a major hit recently, there was no explanation for it that I could find, yet the numbers were dropping. Sitting back I toss the file down on my desk when Zane walks in.

“What’s up, have you seen Sage?” I ask him, wondering what she was getting up to today, she was always so busy now making me suspicious of her activities and a lot of the time, I struggled to find her. Or when I did she was always in the fields helping our men with harvesting and gardening. Or sewing, she spent a lot of time sewing now. Not that it bothered me but it did make me wonder if she was trying to provide the entire pack with quilts with the amount she had made so far.

“Think she is off with Vince and Casen in the fields” Zane says, not meeting my eye and I lean forward bracing my arms on my desk watching him.

“That didn’t sound like a very sure answer, Zane” He sighs running a hand through his hair.

“She was there last I checked, I have been busy dealing with the Southern border”

“Another attempt?” I ask him and he shrugs, I knew they weren’t telling me how bad the rogue situation was getting on that border. Yet I trusted they would tell me if I needed to intervene.

“ So why are you here?” I ask, turning back to the many documents causing my headaches.

“I was checking the business reports earlier” I held them up, also trying to figure out where the money was going and why we were slipping under into the red on a few of them.

“You think it is odd too?”

“Yep, any idea on what’s going on?” I ask him.

“I was talking with Derrick before he left, I think we need to change accountants”

“That is also what I am thinking too, the reports from the managers don’t match the accountants”

“Want me to handle it?” Zane asks. “You want to deal with it?” I ask him.

“I can take Malik, or wait for your father to return and take him, he is better with this stuff then me” Zane admits and he was right, having my father here was a blessing and a torment, though now he has been gone a few days I have noticed his absence and how much he was helping out.

“Yeah wait for Derrick to come back and let him handle it with you” Zane sighs, taking a seat and I realize it is nearly 4PM. The day slipped by quickly. Everyday seemed to blur past me these days, I felt like I was on autopilot most of the time.

Getting up I grab my coffee mug and head to the kitchen and dump it in the sink. Zane follows me upstairs to the surveillance room.

“ I can check them, why don’t you go shower and then find Sage” He offers. I don’t know what is going on with him the last few days since my father left, but he has been up my ass constantly like a bad wedgie.

“It’s fine Zane, you go find Sage and tell her to come home for me” I tell him and he looks at the surveillance cameras nervously and I cock my head to the side observing him, he seemed worried about something.

“Definitely, why doesn’t he want us checking the cameras?” Donnie says, also thinking he had been acting odd the last couple of days.

I walk in, kicking the cameras on not noticing anything suspicious at first and I could feel Zane lingering behind me and I look over my shoulder at him to realize he was mindlinking someone.

Turning back to game cameras, I spot movement. I watch the figures freeze and turn around noticing Sage somewhere she shouldn’t be. Vince and Casen with her. They look back toward the packhouse and Zane takes in a sharp breath behind me.

My blood instantly starts boiling in my veins, there was no reason for Sage to be out that far and why so close to where she was captured by me. She knew that was out of bounds. I had already stripped shreds of both boys last time I caught her out of bounds.

Barging past Zane he tries to grab my arm. “Let me explain, they mean no harm Alpha” he says in a rush.

“Now why would you need to explain unless you were aware of this?” I growl at him before shoving him off. I rush out of the packhouse walking around the back of it and running through the trees in their direction. They had to pass me to get back to the fields and Donnie urged me faster, forcing partial control. A growl tears out of me when I hear them running from me, I quickly catch their scents before spotting them. I pick up my pace tackling Vince in his wolf form. He whimpers and we both slam into a tree making Sage and Casen stop in their tracks. A menacing growl escapes me as I get up.

“ Someone care to explain what the f*ck you three are doing this far out?” They all looked at me yet I noticed the baskets they were carrying were now gone. I looked at Sage who looked at Casen petrified. Casen steps forward to say something and I step toward him when Sage yanks him back, stepping in front of him.

“We weren’t doing anything wrong” She says and I feel my anger building, she knows she shouldn’t be out this far. Vince shifts beside me and I look down at his naked form and he ducks his head and I reach down to grab him.

“It’s not their fault, Andrei. Let them go” Sage speaks, making me look at her but they knew where she was allowed to be and it wasn’t here.

“ I am going to give you 5 seconds to answer my question or- ” I was cut off by movement behind me and I turned to see Zane and Malik behind me. I growl forcing my Alpha aura out and making the drop to the ground. Turning back around I find everyone on their hands and knees fighting the urge to submit. Walking over to Sage, I grip her arm, yanking her to her feet. Casen goes to protest but I glare at him and he bares his neck to me.

I start stomping through the forest dragging her with me, Donnie growling and pacing in my head wanting to punish them for risking her life by taking her so close to the borders.

“Speak Sage before I f*cking explode” I tell her as she stumbles trying to keep up with me. I keep a tight grip on her so she doesn’t fall but I was much too angry to stop. I didn’t trust myself not to hurt one of them.

“I was taking food to the rogues” She blurts out and I freeze looking down at her.

“You were what?” I scream at her and she flinches at my anger and I force myself to take a deep breath, trying to calm myself before I do something I couldn’t come back from like hurt her. I grit my teeth and I could feel my entire body trembling with rage.

“They just need help, I wanted to help them” She says and I keep walking through the forest toward the packhouse, I was aware of them trailing at a distance behind us, knew they were waiting for me to lose it. I had no doubt they would attack me for her but I wouldn’t hurt her no matter how much she angers me.

“Andrei please, let-”

 

“Don’t Sage” I warn her as the packhouse comes into view. I push her ahead letting her walk on her own and she stops making me run into her.

“Everyone as in the entire fcking pack knew and not one of you said anything, I am your fcking Alpha” I scream at him, taking a step toward him my fists clenching by my sides with the urge to punch him.
