Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 183

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 183

Sage POV

We were all lost without Jonah, Andrei had been on the phone to Kat and everybody he could think of that could help. Yet the day was slipping by and I longed to hear  his voice. I needed  to make  sure  he was ok and we tried to ring but got no answer. Sitting outside, I tried the phone  number  again. The phone rang completely out and it was nearly 4:30 PM, he  should be getting ready for dinner  and a bath. Why wasn’t he answering. I sit on the log next to the fire  pit when I see  Andrei come out. He looked  exhausted  and stressed just like the rest of us.

“Still no answer?” He  asks and I  shake  my feeling sick   at  not  being able  to see him or  speak to him.

“We can try again later, if he’s  headed  to the city he could still be on the road”  Andrei says, running his fingers  through his shoulder length hair. He sits on the log beside me grabbing my hand and bringing it to his lips.

“Come on, we should head inside and have shower, you have been in that dress since the day of Alpha meeting” He says and I look down at the wrinkled dress, completely  forgetting I had been in it for two days now I only got out of Kat’s clothes and slipped this on but never showered. I sniff myself but I smell fine besides the scent of tears and the lingering smell of Jonah. I look at Andrei and he was out of his clothes, when did he remember to shower?  With everything on my mind, showering was the last thing I thought about.

Andrei tugs me to  my feet just  as  Zane calls out to him. “Alpha, Nora”

“Argh f*ck I forgot, ”

“Sorry, I didn’t want to bother you with everything going on but she is getting worse, I think she will go into heat tonight”

“Yep, I will do it now. Casen come here” Andrei calls out and waves him over. Casen jogs over to us and Malik too.

“What is up Alpha?” Casen asks before looking at Zane. He tosses his head back and groans.

“Already, f*ck” He whines and Malik scrubs a hand down his face.

“I   will come too,   let’s head out now” Malik says and Andrei nods to them before nodding to Zane.

“Sorry guys” Zane tells them.

“It’s fine, just not used to having girls here for so long, I forgot about the heats, when no one here obviously has them” Casen says before looking at me.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean”

“It’s fine Casen, I am not offended. Not your fault   I am useless in that department” I tell him with a slight twinge of guilt. I was useless, I couldn’t even provide an heir for Andrei, couldn’t give us a family. And now the only hope we had of having a child was just taken away. I watch them go, heading for the forest.

“Night lock berries?”  I ask Andrei and he nods his head.

“Dad!” Andrei   called out   and I liked that he was now calling Derrick dad. I could also see that Derrick got a kick out of hearing it, see the way his eyes light up every time his son said it. Derrick rushes over to us from where he was sitting on a chair under the willow reading some mail.

“Do you remember how to make the night lock jam?” He asks.

“Bit rusty, Nora gone into heat already?” he asks and Zane nods.

“Probably be in full blown heat tonight  sometime, I can smell her scent changing” Zane says.

“Okay, let’s get this fire started and I need a spoon and pot” Derrick says.

“Call out if you need me to make it, I just want to take Sage to shower and then try  Jonah again, Malik and Casen have gone  to  collect the berries” Andrei tells him. Derrick nods and heads after Zane to help collect kindling to get the firepit going.

“I forgot about her heat” I tell Andrei as he leads me inside and up the stairs.

“Yes, slipped my mind too, the boys will be extra grumpy  tonight, not  sure  if  you have  seen rogues on nightlock”

“Yeah once, one of the camps we spotted had a female in omega in heat when I was kid. They also used  nightlock to suppress the unmated wolves but they made it into a soup not a jam”

“Yeah we always  made  Jams or paste from it, more concentrated that way and not so watery” Andrei  says  and it made   sense but when rogue, there aren’t many options in the camps. You couldn’t lock the woman down like those in packs and warn people away when there was nowhere to

go. You also didn’t have shutters or descenters for the woman to  keep the unmated at bay, so good old poison was used to knock out their wolves. I have heard it makes them incredibly itchy and uncomfortable in their own skin.

We head into the shower but just before I strip off and hop in. The phone rings and Andrei grabs it.

“It’s Jonah” He says and my heart starts pounding in my chest. He quickly answers, putting the phone on loudspeaker.

“Jonah?”  Andrei says.

“I didn’t hear the phone” Jonah says and relief floods me. Andrei sits on the end of the bed, pulling me on his lap.

“But you’re ok, are you ok Jonah, where are you?” Andrei asks.

“Yes I am ok but  I  want to  come home,  when can I come home. I want to be with you and Sage”

“Who are you on the phone to?” I suddenly hear Clive’s voice snapping at Jonah and Andrei growls.

“Leave the boy alone” Dominic’s voice snaps back at Clive in the background.

“Dominic is still with you?” I ask Jonah.

“Yes, he put us in this room” Jonah says.

“Hand the phone over for a second Jonah, you can speak to your father in a minute” Dominic says.

Andrei’s heart skips a beat at his words. I hear the phone being fiddled with before Dominic’s voice comes through clearer.

“The boy is fine, I am not a complete monster. They are at my hotel in the Safari Casino room 410 and I will make sure he  has been  fed before I leave,  this neanderthal would robably feed him beer and chips for dinner otherwise” Dominic says with disgust lacing his tone which shocks me, he clearly didn’t like Clive yet took Jonah from us.

“Have you spoken to Katya for me?” Dominic asks.

“Yes she is aware of what’s going on?” Andrei tells him.

“Good  she has a week,  I know these  things take time and she will have to convince her mates but any longer and we will have issues. I can only tolerate this fool for so long” Dominic says, making me wonder what he meant by that.

“You are staying with Jonah?” Andrei asks, confused.

“No, I  just brought them here until I found a pack that would accept this idiot and the boy. I will be leaving soon, tell Katya to hurry and make a

choice. I will put Jonah back on for you”
