Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 22

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 22

Mateo leaves walking out and down the hall, leaving me with the Alpha.

 

“Wait come back” I called to Mateo. He laughs.

“You’re on your own Kat” he sings out not even glancing back.

“You trying to escape me, little one?” The Alpha all but purrs below my ear. A shiver runs up my spine at his words and his breath on my neck.

He runs his nose along my neck, inhaling my scent. My heart pounds against my chest when I feel him press himself closer, the heat from his chest seeping into my back, fear and nervousness at being stuck alone with him kick in.

“Why are you scared little one,I would never hurt you” he whispers, turning me around to face him.

He grips my chin making me look up at him, his dazzling caramel eyes staring back at me.

 

“I will never hurt you, Kat. If I am making you uncomfortable just tell me” he says brushing his nose along my cheek before kissing the side of my mouth.

“Answer me Kat, am I making you uncomfortable?” He asks, pulling away his hands trailing down my sides before resting on my hips.

“A little” I admit and he sighs, pressing his lips to my head.

“Come on then” he says, letting me go and stepping back. As soon as he let go I missed his touch, his warmth and I stepped toward him.

 

He chuckles softly wrapping his arms back around me.

“You don’t know what you want?” He says putting his head on mine.

“You will soon Kat, everything will make sense to you soon” he says, making me look up at him.

“What do you mean?” I ask him.

“I would rather you find out for yourself. Come, want to watch a movie?”

“As long as it isn’t another Disney one” I tell him. He drapes his arm across my shoulders pulling me from Mateo’s room and down the hall toward his room.

I pause looking at his door, “you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do Kat, we can watch one downstairs or in your room if you want” he says stopping and waiting for me to decide.

“Kat!” I hear my mother’s voice call out from downstairs frantically. I hear footsteps running up the stairs. The Alpha walks toward them and I hear her stop on the stairs.

“I swear Alpha if you have touched one Fcking hair on her head, Alpha or not I will kick your Bl*dy arse”

“Calm down Shirley. She is right here, I would never hurt her,” he tells her and I hear my mother rush up the stairs before popping her head around the corner and spotting me.

She rushes over gripping my arms.

“Did he hurt you, are you okay sweetie?” She gushes embarrassingly as she checks me over.

“Mum I’m fine” I tell her and she stops before mindlinking me.

“You didn’t tell him, did you? Oh thank the goddess. I thought he would killed you for sure” she says and I raise an eyebrow at her.

“He knows mum” I say out loud and she freezes looking at me before looking at him. The Alpha was leaning against the door, arms folded over his chest as he watched us.

“You know?” She asks skeptically.

“Yes I know she hasn’t got a wolf, and I don’t care, wolf or not she is still my”- he clears his throat awkwardly.

“She is still a pack member,” he says.

“You don’t care?” She asks and I could see her shock written all over her face.

Alpha Ezra shakes his head. “No, Shirley, I don’t care. It changes nothing”

“And he didn’t hurt you, threaten you. You can tell me Kat” she says just as I hear my father’s voice downstairs.

“Shirley!” Alpha Ezra groans and I chuckle at his frustration.

“Up here!” He calls out to my father and I hear his footsteps on the stairs running up them.

“Shirley! What are you doing?” He asks my mother who turns to face him.

“Hey pumpkin” my dad says my face flushing at the nickname, gosh they could be embarrassing.

“He doesn’t care” my mother mutters more to herself than anyone else.

“I told you he wouldn’t come now, we need to head home, I have work in the morning” my father tells her. My brows furrowed in confusion at her reaction. Why was it such a shock to her when Alpha Ezra was so good to us?

“Mum I am fine, everything is fine. Go home with dad”

“You don’t want to come home?” She asks, looking at me.

I looked at Alpha Ezra who was waiting for my answer. I shake my head and he smiles nodding to me.

“No I want to stay, am I allowed to?” I ask her and her mouth opens and closes like a fish.

“Yes Kat, you are an adult , well in a few days. I trust you to make your own decisions and you are safe with your… the Alpha” my father says.

“But?” My mother goes to argue with him.

“She is in the safest place, love. Come let’s go home” my father says to her and she looks at me before nodding.

“You need us, no matter how late Kat mindlink us” she says.

“I’ll be fine” I tell her and she reluctantly leaves but not before eyeing the Alpha suspiciously like she thought he was going to execute me at any moment.
