Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 26

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 26
Mateo took me home, I was hoping my parents were home but when we pulled up, their car was gone. Stepping out of the car I mindlink them.

“Where are you guys?”

“Grocery shopping, what’s up pumpkin?” My dad asks.

“I’m at home, came to pick up some things but you weren’t here”

“You must have just missed us, the bathroom window is open, you should have told us, we would have waited” my father tells me.

“All good, I will break in then” I tell him.

“Okay pumpkin”

“Dad, you really gotta stop calling me pumpkin”

“But that’s your name”

“It’s not my name, dad. My name is Katya” I tell him.

“But to me, you will always be my pumpkin” he retorts. Internally groan, no use arguing. I am pretty sure if he could he would change my name to it. All this over an incident with a pumpkin when I was a baby.

Zoning back into my surroundings, I looked at the house.

“So what are we doing?” Mateo asks.

“I am breaking in” I tell him before walking around the side of the house to the bathroom window. It was slightly open. Mateo watched as I slid it open all the way, the window was pretty narrow.

“There is no way you will fit,” he says, assessing the gap.

“I have fit through smaller” I tell him. Grabbing a chair from the back patio, I carry it to the window before climbing on it. Putting my head and arms through, I turned on my side before pulling myself through sideways. Looking down I was directly above the toilet which was open. I close the lid with my hand so I don’t go headfirst into it.

Now for the hard part dropping head first to the ground. Shimming my way in, my legs sticking outside when I suddenly feel something slicing into my thigh but gravity was already against me and me cringing from the pain sent me hurtling into the toilet seat painfully as something sliced down my leg. I crash into the toilet before hearing Mateo laughing outside. while I hiss in pain falling in the gap beside it.

His laughing stops, “Kat why can I smell blood?” He suddenly asks. I rolled trying to get up where I was stuck between the wall and the toilet. Pulling myself out of the gap before standing. Looking down, my tights were drenched in blood down the outside of my left leg.

“Kat?” I hear Mateo’s panicked voice outside.

“I’m fine” I tell him.

“Open the front door” he says with all humour aside now of me falling to the ground. I look down at my leg before looking at the window trying to figure out how I did it before seeing the nail sticking out of the window frame. I groan, F*ck me!

Hearing banging on the door I force myself up, my leg burning with each step as I quickly unlock the front door before Mateo beats it down. Opening it Mateo looks down, a panicked noise leaving his lips when he sees my grey tights soaked in blood.

“F*ck Kat,” he says scooping me up.

“I’m fine it’s just a scratch” I tell him at his overreacting. Mateo walks into the kitchen, placing me on the dining table.
