Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 64
Ezra led me toward the house.
“There is someone waiting inside for you” Ezra whispers, making me pull back from him.
“He is in the living room, I pulled him from work”
I Chuck my bag at him before running inside, I hear Ezra laugh behind me as I slide across the floor, my shoes losing grip and I only just managed to catch myself on the door frame.
“Dad!” I squeal before throwing myself at him.
“Pumpkin” he says, squeezing me tight.
“I missed you,” I tell him.
“How could you miss me, it’s only been a few days, oh the Alpha marked you, did you tell your mum yet what did she say” my dad asks.
“Where is mum?” I ask, ignoring his comment.
“At work I asked if she wanted to come, but said she had pack training” he says with a shrug.
“That’s alright” I tell him and Ezra side eyes me, I could feel the tension coming off him in waves thankfully my dad didn’t seem to notice.
“Coffee?” I ask, trying to get my father away from a brewing Ezra.
“Sure” he says following me into the kitchen. Ezra unfortunately also follows. I was suddenly uncomfortable with him being near because mates tend to talk about their mates so I knew it wouldn’t be the last time my father mentions her.
“You should come over for dinner on Thursday before the pack run on Friday”
“I have to cancel the pack runs for a bit, having trouble with Jacksons pack” Ezra answers walking in.
“Well Friday would work better for me anyway. How about Friday night I can make Tacos” my father tells me and I smile. I loved taco’s.
“This week is no good, Kat will be busy” Ezra answers for me before I could even say anything.
I stare at him, is he being for serious right now, “what day do you have off?” I ask my dad.
“I have Saturday off, or Friday”
“Maybe I can come over Friday morning”
“Okay I can tell your mother to start late” my father says with a shrug.
“Kat has school” Ezra says and I bite the inside of my lip to stop the profanities I wanted to scream at him.
“I will come over Friday dad, Ezra can drop me to school afterwards” I tell him.
I don’t bother looking at him. I know the disapproval I will find on his face. I could feel he was seething inside at my words.
“What the F*ck do you think your doing?” Ezra mind-links.
“It’s my dad” I tell him.
“And he said your mother will be there”
“And I said you could come” I deadpan before cutting the link and shoving him out of my head.
‘that probably wasn’t a good idea’ Kora tells me before my father clears his throat, awkwardly.
“um Kat, are you ok?” He asks, making me focus on what I was doing. I was in the middle of handing my father his cup and didn’t realise I was spilling it everywhere while my hand trembled in anger.
“Sh*t sorry, I will make you another” I tell him, grabbing a tea towel and wiping up the spilt coffee.
“I’ll make it” Ezra says, coming over and taking the cup from me while I clean up the mess I just made.
“You ok, you seem off” my father says,
“Yep fine, how’s work”
“How’s work? You never ask about work, what’s going on Kat?”
“Nothing dad, just stressed with classes I have fallen behind” I lie.
“Don’t blame her, her classes are so boring” Mateo says, coming in and cutting the weird tension. I could have kissed him when he walked in, completely distracting my father.
