Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 178

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 178

Sage POV

We locked ourselves in the house, the roller shutters going down and locking into place. Kat was a monster when the darkness took over her, Mateo tried his best to explain to me what the heck was going on, but one thing was clear, they all feared her when she was like this. I didn’t realize the extent until I saw her in wolf form biting at the tyres, fear gripped me that she would be crushed under  the rear tyres. But nothing scared me more

when I realized she was trying to attack her kids.

Mateo explained when she was like that it was all basic instinct, that nothing was left of Kat when she got that way. Jonah was frightened as the house locked down. Whimpering and I felt bad that I couldn’t shift back to comfort him, his  body pressed between my front legs, his tiny hands clutching my fur were shaking violently. I lick his face, the only offer of comfort I could give him or I would have to walk around naked, my clothes shredded to pieces when I shifted.

Dipping my head, I sniff Jonah’s face  tugging  on his shirt to move into the living room and on the couch, he quickly obliges climbing up next to Marge who brushes his cheek softly as she places both babies on the floor to crawl around.

Donnie   nips at our face, his voice loud and clear echoing in my head. He was mad.

“You could have got  bitten”   He growls, not happy that we tossed ourselves at Kat, directly in the path of her snapping jaws. Kat was my friend  and I knew  she would never   forgive herself if she hurt her kids, hurt Marge  or  Jonah. Jonah the thought of something happening to him twisted my stomach painfully, oh how I loved that little boy, he had nestled his way into everyone’s heart and I would protect him with my life even if Donnie hated me for it, yet I knew his instincts burned the same.

Sierra nips him back when Donnie suddenly walks up the  steps and disappears. When he comes back it’s Andrei, dressed in a pair of shorts.

“Sierra” Andrei calls, nodding for us to follow after him. I follow him to a large bathroom with multiple shower cubicles and toilets lining the walls. He hands me some clothes that I know belong to Kat. Quickly shifting I put on the tights and one of her shirts.

“Come  here ”  Andrei  growls tugging me   to him, his arms wrapping around my shoulders as he buries his face in my neck.

“Are you ok?” He asks and I nod, I was only worried about Kat. She came off so strong willed, so independent and connected with herself and it hurt to see this side of her, a piece of her breaking.

Sometimes looking at her I forgot she was lg.  She seemed far older than me, and appeared to know herself better than I knew myself. I couldn’t imagine the weight and pressure on her shoulders, the expectations people had of her, all while trying to navigate through motherhood and a bond with not one man but two.

Andrei leads me out to the living room, Derrick makes coffee bringing it out when Marge suddenly shrieks. My heart thumps erratically looking for danger when I hear a baby giggle. Fear was evident on Marge’s face before I realized why. Jonah was holding both of Marabella’s hands, the mittens fallen off  and  she cackled loudly as he waved her arms about.

Marge quickly grabs the mittens. Derrick pulled Jonah away from her, but she smiled a  huge gummy grin at him, kicking her legs and arms before pouting and her bottom lip trembled as her hands were covered again.

“I know sweet girl, I know,” Marge tells her. Andrei was observing Jonah and Marabella carefully before scooping Marabella off the floor.

“ She didn’t hurt him, it’s ok Jonah you’ re not in trouble buddy” Andrei tells him while bouncing Marabella on his knee. Derrick leans over handing me a coffee and Jonah crawls into my lap. Marge brushes his hair from his eyes.

“We just need to look out for her hands, I know you wanted to play. But she has powers like her mumma” Marge explains. Jonah nods.

“Like spiderman?” Jonah asks and I chuckle. “Yes, like spiderman” Marge tells him.

“That’s cool, I want to be spiderman,” Jonah says excitedly before crawling off me to play with Eziah.

“Does he have superpowers too?” Jonah asks.

“Yes, but you can touch his hands,” Marge tells him. I could see the confusion on his face as his brows furrowed looking between Marabella and Eziah, I could see he was wondering why Eziah’s hands were safe to touch but not Marabella’s.

Silence suddenly falls outside, no more snarling or fighting after lo minutes Andrei says we should get ready to leave. I wait for them to come in, wondering if anyone got hurt. Getting up, I walk to the door, pulling on the peephole and look out and nearly spit my coffee across the door, choking as some sprays out my nose. I slam the peephole shut turning my back to the door, my cheeks blazing at what I saw. Andrei and Derrick walk out hearing me choking and spluttering.

“What’s wrong?” Andrei says reaching for the peephole. I snatch his wrist away and he looks at me curiously. My cheeks burn hotter, I just saw parts of Kat  and her mates I never wanted to see again.

“We should  stay in here, it’s not  safe out  there yet” I tell them. Derrick looks worried.

“They still haven’t contained her,”  he asks, reaching for the peephole but I slap his hand away.

“She’s contained”  I squeak, quickly    shutting the main door so they don’t look out the shutters peephole.

“Are you alright,  why are  you embarrassed?” Andrei asks and I try telling him with my eyes not wanting to blurt out, that they are f*cking in the driveway in front of her father. Just the thought of saying that makes my cheeks burn hotter. I don’t have to say anything when lewd noises reach our ears. Derrick freezes and Andrei scrunches up his face.

“Coffee, who wants more coffee, in the kitchen with the blender going?” Derrick says marching off, Andrei on his heels. Marge looks over the back of the couch at me and snorts with her laughter.

“About bloody time, the tension in this house between those three was driving me insane. Mates need each other, as disturbing as that is for Andrei and Derrick. I am glad” she says, scooping up Marabella and holding her hand out to Jonah.

“Come on let’s go make something to eat” She tells him and he takes her hand.

“Can you grab Eziah for me and the blanket?” She asks and I nod. I scoop the blanket up and Eziah, following them out to the kitchen far away from the noises coming from outside. Andrei lays the blanket down and Marge places Marabella down with some toys. I sit Eziah next to her watching them play.

“Well that was a change of-”

“Don’t say it Marge,  I don’t need  that mental image in my head” Derrick says the blender on low drowning out any noise. Kat was going to be mortified, I knew I would be. Like doing the walk of shame, I don’t       think I will be able to look her in the eye again without blushing.

Marge makes sandwiches and the kids play on the mat while we chat and drink coffee. Eziah crawls trying to get underneath my chair and I pull him out. His hand grabbing my dress as he pulls himself up to a standing position.

 

“He can stand now” I smile.

“Yes, Marabella tries but the mittens prevent her getting a grip on anything” Marge says and I could hear the sadness in her voice. Eziah smiles

cheekily proud of himself that he pulled himself up like a big boy. Derrick’s phone starts ringing, he pulls it from his pocket  looking  at the screen before answering it.

“Hello?” he asks, switching the blender off.

“Ah yeah he is right here, I will chuck him on” Derrick says handing the phone to Andrei.

“The man looking into” He points to Jonah and Andrei quickly answers it, walking into the hall away from Jonah. I could feel his nervousness and I watched him keep glancing in the doorway toward him before his eyes fell on me. His shoulders sag before he walks off and I hear a door shut.

Looking at Derrick he also seemed concerned. “ I will be back” He says and walks out. Eziah’s hands start slapping my legs and he blows spit bubbles excitedly and I smile at  him. Jonah was leaning over Marabella pulling funny faces at her making her giggle and Marge handed me some tissues to wipe  off Eziah’s drool covered  chin. I  clean his face just as Andrei walks back in. He said nothing and I could tell something upset him.
