Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 53

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 53
Katya POV

She lied, she said she died in childbirth but really she killed her, killed my mother, her own sister and my father’s mate.

 

Was everything a lie? Was I just a convenience to her to make it look like an accident? How could she do that? Her own flesh and blood?

I was shaking, I couldn’t wrap my head around it, my brain was running rampant refusing to shut off, I just kept seeing her enraged face coming towards me on the stairs, I couldn’t stop hearing my mother’s pleading voice as she begged her to get a doctor.

“Tell me what’s wrong love, are you in pain? I can’t read you, your emotions are everywhere” Ezra says, making me focus on my surroundings. We were back in the bedroom. I could see daylight breaking out the window.

“What time is it” I ask a little shocked, the sky lightening as daylight starts.

“Finally, how do you feel, I have been trying to get you to speak for hours” Ezra told me.

“What time is it?”

 

“It’s just after 6am” he says, pulling me to him.

6am? 7 hours passed since I walked out those doors downstairs?

“I’m sorry I had no choice, I know it would have hurt, Why didn’t you wake me, why would you go in the woods alone in the middle of the night?” He asks, pulling me onto his chest as he lays down.

“Kat! Talk to me, please your silence is driving me insane” he says. I didn’t want to talk about it, I just wanted to forget it. Forget everything and have my mother back, what she did I would never be able to forgive her for. I just wanted to forget the visions, wanted them taken back.

 

“Kat, don’t cry, please. You have done nothing but cry. Tell me what’s wrong?”

I shake my head, climbing off him, I felt gross. I could smell the dirt on my skin, my blood as it stained my skin from my shift, yet I had no wounds which was weird, I never heal.

Ezra, noticing me examining my skin, cleared his throat.

“I gave you my blood, some of it didn’t heal, which was quite difficult to get an unresponsive person to swallow” He tells me.

“Will that happen next time?” I ask, worried I was going to be torn apart everytime I shifted. He shakes his head. I sigh relieved before climbing off the bed. I see it covered in my blood. Ezra notices my stare hops off the bed.

“Go shower, I will change the linen, then will you tell me?” He asks, I say nothing. When another thought crosses my mind, how do I tell my dad, it will break him. I didn’t know if I could tell him that. Not only one mate would have been lost to him but two.

I hop in the shower, the floor turning red and brown from the dirt and blood covering me. I could hear Ezra talking in the bedroom, Mateos’ voice reaching my ears.

“Is she alright?”

“She won’t tell me anything?” I hear Ezra say. I can’t tell him, he would banish her, I know he would and as much as I hate what she did, she is the woman who raised me, she is my mother.

Which just made up my mind with my father, I wasn’t going to ruin him and what’s left of our family. I would just have to carry this secret, keep it to myself. My life is already falling apart, I don’t think I could handle my family breaking too.

“You okay?” Mateo’s voice says behind me. I look over my shoulder and see him leaning on the door looking at the wall.

“Yes, I am fine” I tell him.

“You don’t sound fine, speak to Ezra Kat. He feels bad enough, don’t leave him in the dark” Mateo says.

“Where is he?” I ask looking back at him, only to see his eyes run up the length of my body before meeting my gaze. I raise an eyebrow at him and he smirks knowing he was caught checking me out and looking back at the wall.

“Grabbing fresh linen”

“You done staring perv, I see you are no longer green” I tell him.

“Just enjoying the view and yes Jasmine helped get it off” he retorts, making me glare at him.

He looks away again and I was glad I had my back to him, he clearly had no problem looking. Though Ezra refused till I verbally said he could, the thought made me chuckle.

“What’s so funny?” He asks.

“Nothing” I tell him.

“Jasmine went home, she said to tell you she would come by tomorrow” I nod at his words when I hear a growl.

“Just talking, Alpha” Mateo says.

“Can you talk when she is clothed next time?” I hear Ezra growl. Shocking me with the anger behind his words. Mateo leaves and I grab the shampoo wondering what got into him. Nudity wasn’t a big thing in werewolf communities, though I still preferred to be clothed.

I hear Ezra muttering to himself as he makes the bed. I wash my hair and rinse it out when the showerscreen door opens. Ezra stepped in behind me. His hands go to my hips and he tugs me back against him.

“I don’t want you naked in front of other men, Kat. Why didn’t you tell him to leave?” He asks and I was a little shocked at how angry he sounded and how tight his grip was on my hips.

“It’s just Mateo. Geez not like he hasn’t seen me naked before” I tell him and he growls.

“You are mine, I won’t share you” Ezra snaps at me making me turn around.

“What’s got into you, he’s just a friend. If you’re going to be a D!ck I will leave and stay in another room” I tell him. He sighs, wiping a hand down his face.
