Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 55

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 55

His entire body tensed as he took in what I said, his hands fisted the bed linen and I watched in horror as his eyes flickered, jaw clenched.

“No!” He says confusing me.

“What?” I ask, trying to figure out what he meant. Did he not believe me?

“I said no!” He growls before pushing off his hands and standing, fur growing along his arms. He walks to the door and I jump out of bed.

“Ezra!” I yell petrified by his reaction.

“No Kat that is not a promise I will keep” he snaps before turning and walking out . I scramble for a shirt, chucking on one of his before darting out after him.

“Wait you promised, you promised not to do anything please” I begged, grabbing his arm, his entire body was shaking and he was on the verge of shifting. A terrifying growl ripped from him as he shook me off a little too hard, sending me flying into the wall.

I felt the wall crack as I hit it when I looked up to find it wasn’t Ezra I was dealing with but Maddox. Mateo comes flying out of his room from the loud bang. I saw him pause out of the corner of my eye, yet I was too focused on Maddox’s terrifying glare as he stalked towards me.

Yet I could feel Ezra’s panic, feel him fighting for control back.

“You should have told us, you should have F*cking told us when you knew, I won’t have your life put at risk for your mother’s” Maddox rages, his canines protruding forbidding him from closing his mouth.

“She is my mother Maddox”

“She is not your mother!” He snarls his fist connecting with the drywall next to my head. “You don’t hide things from us, I won’t have you lying to me” he growls his claws slipping from my his fingertips as he partially shifts, fur covering his body and his face starts to elongate, he presses his face closer towering over me, my heart pumping in my ears when I feel him grab my arm.

‘Get out Kat, get out’ Kora’s panicked voice screamed in my head, her fear so strong I swallowed my throat restricting when suddenly he is knocked away from me. A feral growl tearing from him as he hits the ground with a loud thud. I see Ezra rise and realise it was Mateo who had tackled him.

Mateo scrambles away from him backwards before looking at me. “Run!” He screams using his Beta aura on me just as Ezra shifts.

I feel it wash over me, but It has no effect, my fear keeping me rooted to the spot as I look on helplessly as Maddox charges at him, Mateo shifting just in time before tearing into his flank which only seemed to anger him more.

Kora growling furious in my head as they tear chunks off each other, teeth and claws sinking into skin fighting to the death.

“Get out of here Kat, Ezra is gone” Mateo screams through the mind link. I run for the stairs, Kora fighting for control when suddenly Mateo and Ezra smash down the stairs crashing into me.

“All of us are rolling down the stairs in a heap and a shriek leaving my lips and I see Mateo smash into the wall, his claws biting into the marble floors, scratching through them. I now truly understood why people feared Alpha Ezra. Maddox was lethal, angry and uncontrollable. Maddox seems to grow impossibly bigger as he stalks toward Mateo before grabbing him by the scruff of the neck and tossing him like he weighed nothing. Mateo smashed into the hall stand on the second floor, the paintings on the walls smashing to ground.

Mateo lunges at him, ripping into his flesh and I feel Kora become enraged at the sight, her anger so bad as she watches them tear into each other that she forces the shift, a scream tearing from my lips cut off by her roar as she runs at them.

My heart skipping a beat knowing Mateo was about to cop her rage too when she suddenly pivots tearing into Maddox. Her teeth tearing into his side viciously. He snaps his head to the side, sinking his canines into her back leg and flinging her off before lunging at her as she hits the ground. I watch in horror as his teeth come straight toward us aiming for our throat.

His claws bite into the marble floors as he skids into us, his teeth and jaw wrapping around our throat yet no pressure clamps on us, recognition kicking in at the last second and he whimpers, licking her fur when she snaps at him, biting the side of his face. A growl ripping out of her that makes him cower and duck his head, his shame smashing into me as Kora shoves past him, knocking him to the side.
