Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 56

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 56
Mateo POV

Friendship was what kept me here, Ezra told me to leave countless times over the years yet I never could. I have always loved him like a brother, sometimes I questioned if it was more than that because no matter how much he scared me sometimes I could never bring myself to leave him. Not after everything I know. I wouldn’t let him destroy himself, let his beast take him over like it did his father. Fear pricked my skin as soon as I heard Maddox’s voice in the hall and I knew history was to repeat itself. The beast within him was always savage, a monster in every way and Ezra fought constantly to keep him at bay.

I had no doubt Maddox loved her, that Ezra did, yet in Pierce’s family love is what kills them. His father was a monster, killed his first mate and his second chance chosen mate. Nearly killed Ezra and that was one thing that always kept Ezra level headed, he knew what Maddox was capable of and always made sure to be the best version of himself, yet he knew it was a battle he couldn’t always win. Even though I usually caught the brunt of it over the years, and Ezra hated hurting me, I knew he was grateful, and trusted I would keep our pack safe, keep his future mate safe from him.

He has always wanted his mate, as much as it scared him he always wanted someone to love him, and accept the monster he carries with him, someone who would love him without question and I knew Kat does. That she would so he needs to tell her, she won’t run like he thinks, like his mother tried too.

No woman has last mated to a Pierce Wolf, no woman strong enough to contain and keep the wolf at bay. But after seeing the way her wolf was almost fearless of him, saw the monster he was yet still attacked anyway seemed to hone him in.

Or maybe it was Katya’s soft personality that calmed him; he was a storm that destroyed everything in his path, while she was calm, the eye of the storm, the peace within the destruction. Giving me hope she could break him. That her love for him would be enough to break the curse on his bloodline. Maybe she would survive a Pierce wolf when no other woman had.

Walking back to my room, the trail of my blood following me to my room as I pushed the bedroom door open. I could hear them walking back to their room when I heard the footsteps stop suddenly.

“Go ahead, I will be back in a sec” I hear Ezra tell Kat. I hear him walking toward my bedroom before the door opens. Yet I could hear Kat hadn’t moved from the hall, hear her heart rate spiking in her chest as he got closer to my room, I heard my handle twist before stopping.

“Kat, go to our room, please” he says.

“Ezra?”

“Mateo will be fine. I am only checking on him” Ezra tells her. She must have agreed because I heard her walk off though I knew what was coming. He pushes my door open, stepping inside and closing it.

“I know you’re mad, bro but seriously what do you expect?”

“Are you done?” He says,making me look at him.

“I’m not mad, well I am but you had no right doing that, telling her that”

“She won’t run Ezra, she hasn’t yet. She could have when he unleashed in the shower on her” I tell him and he sighs.

“You’re scared she will, aren’t you?”

“I’m scared she will pick you” he tells me and I look away.

“I won’t allow that even if she did”

“Wouldn’t you, because you have no problem getting up in my business when it comes to her?”

“Would you rather me let him kill her?” I ask him.

“He wouldn’t have, I have more control then they did” I scoff at his words of more control, he had Maddox reigned in better than his father had with his wolf, yes that was true but I would hardly call that control.

“You need to let him around her more, Ezra. His jealousy can’t be the only reason he is unleashed”

“It wasn’t his jealousy this time,”

“Then what is it?” I asked laying back down, my body was aching, though Kora healed most of me but still I ached. I feel the bed dip, Ezra sitting near my feet.

“He was angry she hid it, hid that Shirley killed her mother”

“What?” I ask sitting up. Ezra nods, his fist clenching on his knees where they are placed.

“Shirley killed her mother Katherine, yet she doesn’t want me to do anything about it, doesn’t want her father to know, there is no curse of her having children. Everything Shirley said was a lie and Jackson helped cover it up”

“Maddox doesn’t think she can be trusted” I tell him.

“Neither do I, how can she be? She already posioned Kat, she lied to her, yet she still chooses her”

“It’s her mother Ezra, let Kat deal with it, she will tell her father eventually”

“And if she doesn’t”
