Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 78

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 78

Ezra POV

It was killing me seeing Mateo like this. I don’t think he has spent one night sober in the last week, each night I have been having to drag him to bed, or finding him passed out somewhere outside. He was even brought home by two patrols two nights ago after he fell asleep while on duty. I don’t know how he does it, how he even manages to drag himself out of bed every morning to take himself to training, yet he is never late. Severely hungover but always on time.

Sitting in my office I hear someone come down the stairs. I had been pouring over the journal trying to find anything to help Kat, help us figure out what to do about Jackson. If there was some way to reverse it but there was nothing. Kat hated being a lunar wolf and I was worried about her safety given her capabilities she has barely tapped into.

Mateo’s scent wafts down the hall along with the smell of whiskey.

“Mateo come to my office please” I called out to him. I hear him stop on the stairs before he groans. My door opens and he steps into my office before sitting in the chair heavily. His hair was a mess, and he looked like Sh*t and smelled like a brewery.

“What?” He asks, leaning on my desk.

“You aren’t going to train like that” I tell him.

“Yeah right and who is going to do training?” He says getting up.

“I will, now sit down” I tell him. He growls before sitting back down.

“I’m worried about you” I tell him and he shakes his head.

“I’m fine Ezra, you don’t need to worry about me”

“Really? Because you have smashed your car, rode off your ute and the patrols had to bring you home the other night, not to mention the amount of times I have dragged your sorry a$s to bed myself” I tell him.

“You know what I don’t need this, I won’t train then. Are you done now Bro I have things to do”

“Like get drunk?” I ask and he growls getting up before walking out.

“Mateo!” I call before getting up and following him out when he doesn’t stop. He heads for the front door.

“Don’t make me command you Mateo” I tell him and I see Kat start walking down the stairs before she stops on the bottom step looking at his retreating figure.

“Command me, really Ezra you would force me to stay and watch you two in all your sickening happiness, are you truly that F*cking selfish?”

“Mateo” Kat says, shocked at his outburst.

“No, Kat. I am happy you two have each, I am. But it is awfully F*cking lonely in this house when you have no one, when you are always the third wheel. I killed my mate for you, my mate and yet, you know what I am done”- He says turning around.

“Wait where are you going?” I ask.

“To fix my Bl**dy car” He says walking out and slamming the door behind him. I looked at Kat who was a little startled but said nothing, I could feel her guilt eating at her at his words and it angered me. He made her feel guilty for his own actions, though I knew that was never his intention, he wasn’t like that. She never asked him to do that and he knows that.

“He is just angry, he wouldn’t have meant what he said Kat”

“Sure sounded like he did” She says walking off toward the kitchen.

I follow after her and she flicks the kettle on, I wrap my arms around her waist and she sighs softly my scent calming her before she reaches up and grabs some mugs.

“Don’t make me one, I have to go handle training. Will you be right here on your own, or you can come” I tell her.

“No, my father is coming over today, I want to see him and find out how he is doing with mum and everything that is going on” She says and I nod.

“Is your mother coming with him?” I ask her and she shrugs.
