Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 190

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 190

“Right this way” She says and we walk past all the round tables and towards the kitchen.

“Tom, two men are here to see you” the woman tells him before   disappearing. A man in his early twenties comes over with his hand out.

“Tom, which one of you is Andrei?” “I am” I tell him, shaking his hand.

“No, offense my friend but I need to see some ID. I am not going to hand a kid over if I am not  sure you are the person the boy asked me to ring”

I grab my wallet and hand him my ID and he looks a t it before reaching over and grabbing his phone off the bench. He pulls a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, the same piece of paper I wrote my number on and gave to Jonah before he was taken.

“Just a precaution” He says and I nod, not caring, just   glad he wouldn’t have handed Jonah over to anyone else. He calls my number and my phone starts ringing in my fathers hand. He shows the man and he nods as he reads the number.

“Do you mind if I take your picture to show Jonah, so I can verify you are the man he asked for?” Tim asks and I shake my head.

“Go for it” I tell him and he quickly snaps a photo before rushing off out the back somewhere. My father looks around at the chefs, most of them staring at us and we must look out of place. We chucked on the first things we grabbed and I was in a wrinkled shirt and jeans. My father dressed in a tank top and jeans.

“He came, he came for me” I hear a squeal and look toward the door Tim walked through. Jonah comes running toward us and I rush over, scooping him up and hugging him tight while burying my face in his neck.

“You came for me” he says, his arms tight around my neck.

“Of course I did, I will always come for you Jonah. You are mine, I never should have let you go” I tell him.

“You promise?” Jonah asks.

“ I promise, I will even pinky promise ” I tell him and he pulls back smiling. He holds his pinky up and I grab it with mine before kissing his cheek.

“I missed you so much,”   I tell him.

“I missed you too, I can come home right, you will take me home?” he asks when I notice the handprint on his cheek, his ear red and I turn his face. A growl emanates out of me and my father starts coughing loudly making me realise I am surrounded by humans.

“I  am taking you home and you are never leaving again” I tell him and he nods resting his head on my shoulder.

“Thank you,”   I tell him Tim.

“It is fine, I am just glad  he didn’t get hit by a car, he nearly caused an accident when I grabbed off the road” Tim says and my stomach drops.

“He said his uncle was supposed to be watching him but he didn’t want to go back”

“Custody dispute, he won’t be going back there” I tell him.

“I am glad, he has a few bruises on his arms and legs. I was nearly tempted to call the police until I spoke to Dominic Octavian. I rang him an hour ago. He said to let you take him”

“You know Dominic Octavian?” I ask him.

“Yes, Dominic owns half the City, everyone knows who he is, I rent this place off him. Good man but not someone I would want to cross but anyway I know what you are, so it was probably best I didn’t ring the police, he  needs  to be with his own species”  He says but not  in a harsh way.

“Bye Jonah” Tim waves to him.

“Wait! ” My father says, trying to give him the envelope full of cash.

“No, I don’t want anything, he is a good kid. I am just glad he is okay” Tim says, walking off back to his station in the kitchen.

“Come on,  let’s   get  you home”  I   tell  Jonah   and he nods against  my shoulder. We walk out to see Malik talking to the woman at the service counter. “Ah that’s them ” He says rushing over.

“Hey Kiddo, ” Malik says, brushing Jonah’s hair from his face.

“You look tired, you can sleep on the way home” Malik tells him. We walk out of the restaurant and Malik shows us where he parked. I place Jonah in the back with my father who takes him. He was already dozing off and I found bruises on his arm in the distinctive shape of  a handprint. His little cheek is bright red and he looked exhausted like he hadn’t been sleeping well.

“Andrei, let’s get him home” My father says.

“I will  be back soon, put  the heater on for him”

“Andrei, you heard Tim. Dominic could be around here somewhere”

“I don’t care where Dominic is, I want Clive” I tell him, shutting the rear door before he could say anything else. I looked over the building rooftops where we were parked around the side of the restaurant.

“Stay with them” I tell Malik before walking off and heading toward  the Casino. I move through the crowds of people before turning the corner and seeing the Casino. Valet were out the front and armed guards. Crossing the street I walk toward the front entrance. The guards are staring at me  and I see a few call across their radio’s as I approach  the  doorman.  He  opens the door and I ignore the staff  at the front counter heading for suites above the casino. Taking the stairs two at a time. I hear footsteps behind me. Looking over my shoulder I see two guards following me. A sniff of the air proves they are Werewolf and both had Beta Genes. They keep their distance but continue to follow me through the corridors  while I look for the room Clive and Jonah were in.

Walking up yet another flight of stairs I stop looking at the guards behind me.

“I am assuming Dominic knows I am here?” I ask and one steps forward. He was a stocky build with a shaved head and scar across his eyebrow.

“Yes Alpha Andrei”
