Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 5
“Does the Alpha help with training?” I ask Jasmine.
“Yeah, he comes everyday, to help train us. Training is compulsory no matter age and gender” I watch as Angie, the girl Jasmine told me to avoid runs across the field towards the Alpha clinging onto him like a leech.
“Yeah Angie has a thing for the Alpha, seems to think he will choose her as his mate” Jasmine says and I nod. For some reason seeing her cling on to him annoyed me a little but I shoved it aside. I didn’t want any trouble with her especially if she is as bad as Jasmine said she is.
“How old is the Alpha?” I ask, he looked pretty young compared to my last Alpha who was in his forties.
“25, he is a good Alpha, strict but fair. A lot better than his father who was a complete a**hole”
“So he took over the pack when his father stepped down?” I ask. Jasmine shakes her head.
“No Alpha Ezra killed him and took over when he was 17”
“Geez a lot wouldn’t have liked answering to a 17 year old” I tell her but she shakes her head.
“No, everyone was glad to see Alpha Dean get taken down, he was cruel. Women weren’t even allowed to train back then, treated like animals and he used to kill anyone that stepped out of line, he even killed his own mate, and his second chance one” She says making me feel sick at her words.
“That’s terrible” I tell her and she nods.
“Yeah everyone hated him, things changed after Alpha took over, he made sure women could train to better protect ourselves, maybe that’s why he was so quick to have your family join our pack. Your mother would be an advantage to have and your father given that he has Beta genes” I nod.
“Maybe” I tell her just as Alpha Ezra looks in our direction, I drop my head and am thankful when the school bells ring, signalling the end of lunch. Jasmine and I make our way back to our lockers and grab our gym clothes out. Going to the bathrooms we quickly change before heading down to the ovals. Alpha Ezra and my mother were talking amongst a few of the teachers before silence sudden;ly feel overone and people started walking of tpo the designated groups. I followed Jasmine over to our age group and was a little shocked to see Alpha Ezra come over. Jasmine smiles at him when he approaches.
“Hey Alpha” She says.
“Hi Jasmine, you can sit out for today Kat to see how things run if you like” He says and I nod grateful I didn’t have to start training straight away.
“No she can train like the rest of them” My mother says coming up behind him. So much for sitting out.
“She doesn’t have to Shirley I can excuse her” Alpha Ezra says and I give my mother a pleading look. My mother presses her lips in a line but nods.
“Come sit on the bleachers and watch” Alpha Ezra tells me and I nod following him over to them before sitting down. I watch everyone train Alpha Ezra gets up a few times to help some of the teachers and to correct some of the students. When he comes back over though he looks down at me.
