Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 51

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 51
So much for rest, Ezra felt bad that marking me knocked me out, I didn’t have the heart to tell him it would also be forcing my shift. We watched the hours tick by, it’s amazing how long a minute can feel when you’re waiting for something. Every minute passing by raised my anxiety and Kora was not helping, only scaring me more.

I tried asking her about the visions, she only said we would keep having them, that she couldn’t control them, that they are brought on by change and by the Moon.

 

Not even she understood the dreams, she couldn’t make sense of them either.

“I’m really sorry Kat, if I had known it would cause you to pass out, I would have waited, like you wanted” Ezra tells me. We had been sitting in the room for hours now, the silence making my anxiety of what’s to come way worse, I needed a distraction.

“It’s fine, either way it would have happened eventually just try to sleep” I tell him. His hand lazily tracing up my arm as we lay in bed.

“I can’t now because I can feel your upset over it, I ruined the night, killed the mood” he says. I wasn’t upset about him marking me, I was upset I was about to shift. I needed him to go to sleep so I could sneak off without him knowing. I didn’t want him to see me like that, I also didn’t want to make him feel worse about marking me.

“Maybe ask your mother to meet us,” Kora suggests.

“And you’re sure you can block him out?” I ask her.

 

“I think so, we can only try”

“It’s fine, I am fine. Let’s just sleep, you didn’t ruin anything” I tell him, snuggling under the blanket.

Ezra eventually drifted off around 11 PM so I mindlinked my mother.

“Mum?” It took her a few seconds to answer and I could tell she was asleep.

 

“Mum”

“Kat? It’s late honey what’s wrong?”

“Can you meet me at the border where I hid on the pack run?” I feel her foggy mind become alert in panic.

“What’s going on, do I need to wake your father?” She asks.

“No, I just need you please. Kora is going to shift ” I tell her, I definatly didn’t want my father coming, no girl wants their father seeing them naked.

“Where’s Ezra?” She asks.

“Asleep, I haven’t told him”

” I will be there soon, I love you”

“Love you too” I tell her, cutting off the mindlink. Ezra was snoring peacefully beside me. I moved out from under his arm that was draped over me.

“Maybe put your pillow there, it will have our scent on it” Kora tells me and I nod at her words. He cuddles it and once I am sure he is sleeping soundly, I carefully sneak out of the packhouse. I hear no movement in the house so Mateo must be asleep and Jasmine must have gone home.

I felt bad I didn’t say goodbye to her but knew she would forgive me.

The forest was dead silent, and it looked like it was going to rain by the low hanging clouds blocking the stars making the forest even darker.

“No Moon tonight, it’s going to be a rough night” Kora says as we walk through the Forest.

“Shouldn’t you be giving me a pep talk, pumping me up for this moment”

“That’s what I have been doing all night, preparing you”

“More like scaring me, seriously you would suck a motivational speaking”

“Gosh, you’re such a downer, I was just explaining,” she says.

I manage to pick up my mother’s scent halfway through the forest and follow it knowing she was already there.

I look at my watch and see I had three minutes till midnight. I was still at least twenty minutes from the meeting spot.

“We aren’t going to make it to her, you need to run” Kora says.

“Maybe we should have told Ezra?” I tell her as I start running through the forest.

“Too late now, besides Maddox was P!ssed off with Ezra?” She says.

“What why?”

“Because he wanted to mark you”

“He does realise they are the same person right” she shrugs and I shake my head at her words. His wolf was slightly unpredictable.
