Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 77
Waking the next morning, I roll over to find both Mateo and Ezra not in bed. I could hear the shower running so opened the bathroom door to find Ezra.
Stripping my clothes off I climb in,shutting the shower screen behind me.
“Was wondering when you would wake” he says kissing my head as he washed himself.
“Where did Mateo go?”
“To have coffee with Jasmine, I just hope he takes it ok, why didn’t you tell me” he asks.
“I don’t know, I just didn’t think it was our place to say anything, it’s between them” I tell him.
“Yeah I didn’t have the heart to tell him, I was kind of hoping things would work out” Ezra answers. Though I could feel he was nervous about something, his worry was eating at me.
“You ok?” I ask, pouring shampoo in my hand.
“Yeah I was thinking of going and seeing Mathias and having a look at the information he has on healers, It would be better if we had the scrolls”
“About that, mum no longer has them” I tell him hoping he wouldn’t blow up, surprisingly he just sighs.
“You don’t seem upset about that” I tell him and he shrugs, pulling me under the stream of water and rinsing my hair out.
“Nothing surprises me when it comes to your mother,” he says before stepping out and giving me the shower to myself. He wraps a towel around his waist leaning on the sink basin.
“Do you want to come with me to see Mathias?”
“Yep be interesting if we can find anything, I will finish my shower then get dressed”
Ezra was waiting downstairs for me, standing by the door when I came down.
“Finally, let’s go” he says, grabbing my hand and dragging me toward his car. Walking around the passenger side I stop.
“Oh yeah, I forgot about that,hang on a sec and I will get something to clean up the glass”
“Do it when you get home I can just sit in the back” I tell him, opening the backdoor and sliding to the middle.
“That from the other day?” I ask while clipping my belt up.
“Yeah Maddox did it, we didn’t have a key and needed the remote to get inside” Ezra says starting his car. We drove into town, but drove directly past the hospital turning up a street not far from it.
I hadn’t been to Jasmine’s house before it was quite nice and had cottage style gardens out the front. And was a single story brick house that had been rendered and had metal lizards hanging on the wall on either side of the front door. Pulling up in the driveway Mathias comes out.
“Morning Alpha” he says as I climb out of the back of the car. “Luna ” Mathias nods and I follow him inside. Mathias leads us down a long hallway from the front of the house. The house looks quite small from outside which was rather decieving when you realise actually how long it is, we walked past two living areas one on each side, multiple bedrooms and a galley style kitchen and a bathroom before coming to the back door. He opens the door and it leads outside to more cottage gardens and with a gazebo in one corner. Off to the side was an outbuilding.
Mathias walks over before pulling a key from his pocket and unlocking the white door and I find it is an office, shelves and shelves of books lined the walls, a desk in the centre that also had a table beside it with jars of different herbs and specimens.
Mathias runs his fingers over the bookshelves grabbing some down along with some old journals.
“Sit down where you like, you may just have to make some room. I am Sorry about the clutter in here” Mathias says and I grab a stool sitting on the end of the desk while Mathias brings over books and papers, and some journals. Ezra pulls a chair over while sitting beside me and Mathias hands me a huge journal full of notes, the paper was thick and looked really old but also had newer pages that had been added.
Ezra picks up a book flicking through the pages.
“Not sure if it will help, like I said there isn’t much information just secondary and notes, Observations over the years by those who met some, Like I said I never expected to come across a Lunar wolf that’s how rare they are” Mathias says also taking a seat at his desk.
“The one Kat is holding probably has the most information, I acquired that during my medical training from am old professor”
I opened the leather book, mostly it had old drawings of different wolves and abilities they showed before coming to a summarised version.
“There are this many healers?” I asked and Mathias stood up looking over the desk, Ezra looking over my shoulder.
“Yes, they are who have been discovered over the years” Mathias says sitting back down.
Looking down at the page I start to read, finding it all fascinating.
