Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 18

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 18
Katya POV

Getting to my room my mother digs through my bag grabbing some clothes and passing them to me. I slip them on and she looks around the room.

 

“It’s a nice room” she comments and I nod pulling my pants on. She goes to say something but stops herself.

“What’s wrong?” I ask her. She looks conflicted before I see her usual face slip on. Gone was my protective mother and in her place my biggest critic.I regretted asking instantly.

“Why didn’t you fight back?”

“I was naked!” I tell her, what did she expect me to do?

“You made yourself look weak, they won’t accept you if you look weak, you need to stand up for yourself”

“And last time I did, I got in trouble” I tell her and she sighs running her hand through her hair.

 

“You won’t get in trouble, do what you have to, to prove yourself Kat”

“Alpha Ezra said no violence between pack member’s mum, you want me to lay low then you tell me to fight back which is it?”

“You make us look weak, you are not weak. No daughter of mine can be weak, especially in your position” she says her voice raising.

“My position? Just say what you want to say mum, spit it out” I tell her sick of her judgement. Either way I am Dmn if I do and Dmn if I don’t meet her expectations.

 

“Your life is going to get a lot harder, and you being a pushover looks bad, your mate will have expectations and if you can’t prove yourself”-

“What are you talking about, I don’t have a mate mum. I don’t even have a wolf so I wouldn’t find him even if I miraculously did. And mates are meant to love us not shun us”

“Not all mates are equal Katya, your a weakness to any mate you get with not having a wolf so you need to show your strength in other ways”

“Get out!” I tell her and she stops her rant looking at me.

“Get out, I asked you here as my mum and you can’t even do that, everything is about titles and strength to you. If you think I am weak then just go, I criticise myself enough. I don’t need it from you too” I tell her, tears brimming in my eyes. Why can’t she just love me and be a mother for five seconds without criticizing me.

“You don’t talk to me like that, I am just trying to help you”

“Get out!” I scream at her losing my temper, my voice rising louder than I meant. She glared at me and was about to say something when the door opened.

“She asked you to leave now go” Alpha Ezra says to her. Sh*t how much did he hear? Panic set in and I heard my mother’s heart rate spike.

“I don’t know what you two are arguing about but it is clear Kat wants you to go Shirley, so leave” Ezra says and I let out the breath I didn’t realise I was holding. My mother’s mouth clamps shut.

“I will see you at the pack run” my mother says, kissing my head before walking out and past the Alpha.

She leaves and the Alpha steps in the room closing the door.

“What happened? You two were fine downstairs” he says. I shake my head knowing I can’t tell him.

“Your mother seems strict,”he says and I nod.

“She thinks I made myself look weak” I tell him.

“She said that?” He asked and he seemed annoyed.

“Yes,’ said my mate when I find him, that he won’t want a weak mate, that I needed to prove myself or some Sh*t” I told him, which seemed to anger him more. A growl escapes his lips startling me.

“You okay?” I ask him and he snaps out whatever mood he was in.

“You’re not weak, and no one should expect anything from you, Kat, especially your mate” he says.

“Well I hope you’re right” I tell him and we stand there in an awkward silence.

Mateo walks in clearing the awkward silence and for once I was actually happy he barged in. The Alpha too looked relieved.

“So which room are you putting her in?” He asks, looking at the Alpha.

“I’m fine here” I tell him and Mateo looks at me.

“Think the Alpha and I would be more comfortable with you upstairs” Mateo answers. The Alpha walks over grabs my bag not saying anything as he puts my things in it before throwing it over his shoulder.

I sigh before following them. Mateo throws his arm over my shoulder. “Be like a slumber party we can do make up, comb each other’s hairs” he says and I elbow him.

“What girls do that Sh*t” he says and I raise an eyebrow at him.

“Well I don’t” I chuckled at him.
