Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 191
Sage POV
Zane and Nora sat with me the entire time. I felt nauseous knowing something was going on and I didn’t know what it was. I couldn’t sit still while I waited for the phone to ring. Malik said Andrei went after Clive but that was all he could tell me because he wasn’t with him.
What if something happened to him? Surely I would know if something bad happened to Andrei, mates feel that sort of thing but all I felt was his burning hatred and then nothing but calm through the bond. It unnerved me.
“He is fine, Sage. Andrei can handle himself and Malik and Derrick have Jonah” Zane tells me as I paced nervously in front of the dining table.
I just couldn’t help it, not knowing what was going on was worse, my imagination was running rampant and putting terrible thoughts in my head and making me worry. When the phone rings I practically dive onto the table to retrieve it. My hands were shaking so much I couldn’t swipe the phone to answer it when Nora takes it from me. She answers it quickly and hands it back to me.
“Hello” My voice was shaking just as terribly as my hands.
“I have him” comes Andrei’s voice through the phone and it was like a tonne of weight was lifted off my shoulders upon hearing his voice. He was ok, my Jonah was ok. I thought as I slid down the pantry door to the cold floor. I could breathe again.
“Sage are you there?”
“Yes I am here, Malik said you went after Clive. I have been so sick with worry” I tell him.
“I know I could feel you, I am on my way home with Jonah” Andrei tells and I feel tears prick at the edge of my vision.
“And he is ok?” I ask.
“Yes, has a few bruises but he is okay, Hun. I will be home in a couple of hours, try to get some sleep” He says, like I would even be able to manage that. I let out a breath. I just wanted them home where I could see for myself that they were both safe, not that I doubted Andrei but seeing is believing.
“I will try” I lie knowing that won’t happen. He chuckles softly and my heart pinches at the sound.
“You are a terrible liar, you know I can feel you, right? I will see you soon. I love you Sage”
“I love you too, can I speak to Jonah?” I ask him.
“He is asleep, you will see him soon” Andrei tells me and I nod before realising he couldn’t see me.
“Ok, hurry home but drive safely” I tell him.
“See you soon, ” He replies before the phone goes dead. I rest my head on the pantry door. Nora is watching me standing by my feet.
“ See, he is fine ” She yawns and I feel bad that she was woken because of me, the entire pack was woken. What a mess the night turned into but I was just relieved I was getting Jonah back.
Eventually I convinced Zane and Nora to go home.
Once they left I cleaned, having nothing else to do and also made Jonah a bed on the couch before making more coffee. Not that I needed it because I was alert and on edge the entire time but it gave me something else to focus on while I cleaned.
Distraction kept me going insane but when I finally heard the car pull up it was twenty past four in the morning. I leapt out of my seat and rushed to the front door. Unlocking it with my palm it felt like it took forever for the door to unlatch and I held my breath as I pulled it open.
Malik stretches his back as he climbs out of the car yawning. Andrei was at the back door leaning in.
When he stands up he has a sleeping Jonah in his arms and Derrick climbs out of the backseat after him.
I watch as Andrei sniffs his little head gently, holding him close to shield him from the breeze. I wanted to jump with joy at them being home but held myself together as Andrie looked over at me. His excitement burned just as strongly. My hands were already reaching for him as Andrei approached mee. My hands combing over Jonah before taking him and molding his tiny body around me in my arms as I took him. He lost a little weight. Not much but I could tell, I could tell you every little detail of my boy and I noticed instantly as his body was placed in my arms. I bury my face in his neck and my breathing was shaking as I brought him inside. Derrick follows Andrei in and kisses my head before motioning that he was going upstairs to bed in the spare room. I nod walking into the living room with Jonah.
I didn’t want to put him down, like if I did he would disappear again. Andrei wraps his arms around us. Jonah pressed between us sleeping soundly, only when Andrei cups my face did I realise how terribly I was shaking and that I was crying. Sierra was so present and vigilant as we watched him sleep. Also excited but nervous for our boy.
“Stop crying, he is fine. You should put him down before you wake him” Andrei tells me and I look up at him. I never wanted to let him go again but I knew he was right as I tucked him into his makeshift bed.
“He is safe now” Andrei tells me as I tuck him in. I quickly pull his shoes off his tiny feet and tuck the blanket up under his chin.
“What if Clive comes back for him, or Dominic” I whisper worriedly before wrapping my arms around his middle and pressing my face into his chest.
“Clive is dead and Dominic knows I have him, he said to bring him home with me”
“Clive is dead?” I ask him, pulling away and looking up at him.
“He won’t touch our son again, you don’t have to worry about him taking him, Sage. I will kill anyone that tries. I won’t make that mistake of letting him go again. I swear to you” Andrei says before dipping his face down to mine. He kisses my lips softly before pulling away.
