Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 79

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 79

Mateo POV

 

I was in a terrible mood, and I felt like Sh*t to add on top of it. It was stifling out here today and it was only early morning still, it was going to be a scorcher. Ezra was acting strange when he left, very out of character like something beyond the norm was bothering him. I finished pulling the busted front guard off my car and was about to remove the radiator when I heard the front door open. Kat comes out walking towards me.

D*mn and here I was thinking she would stay inside and ignore me, at least I was hoping she would. I felt bad for what I said, I knew ultimately the choice was mine, but sucked watching her Ezra together when I wanted her, wanted him though Ezra has never thought of me like that, and why would he? He was straight.

Standing up, Kat comes over before handing me a bottle of water. I take it from her cracking the lid before taking a sip of it.

“Can it be fixed?” She asks, looking at the car.

“Yep, the ute no but this just needs a front bar and grill and a new radiator” she nods before looking at me.

“Did Ezra seem off to you?” She asked and I knew something was up with him, especially if Kat thought he was acting strange.

 

“Yep, probably arguing with Maddox, why what did he do?” I ask her.

“Nothing he was asking about you” she says with a shake of her head.

“I’m sorry about earlier, I didn’t mean what I said” I tell her, though that was only half true.

“Yes you did but it’s okay Mateo, I get it” she says before chewing her fingernail. I hadn’t realised I was staring too long until she shifted from one foot to the other awkwardly as she stared back.

 

“I made breakfast if you’re hungry,” she says, turning around and heading back inside.

‘She is also acting strange’ Ares says watching her through my eyes, she walks inside closing the door. I was suddenly feeling uncomfortable. Why were they acting strange? I know Ezra and I had an argument but usually he is over it as soon as it starts. We had plenty of run-ins but our friendship was never jeopardized from them though something was different.

“Need a hand at training?” I ask him through the mindlink.

“No everything is fine, what is Kat doing?” He asks which I thought odd when he could mindlink her.

“She is inside, is everything ok. I can leave if you want Ezra. I don’t want to get in between you and Kat if it is going to make things strained”

“No, you are where you belong Mateo, Kat and I are fine. Why did she do something?” He asks. Huh? What was the go with 20 questions?

“No, is she supposed to?”

“Nothing she doesn’t want to do?” Ezra answers vaguely.

“Whatever man, if you got something to say, just say it I can take it” I tell him.

“Just go spend time with Kat” He answers before abruptly cutting the link before I could speak.

‘Yeah I think Maddox is planning to murder us’ Ares says.

‘He isn’t going to kill us, why would you even think that?” I ask him.

‘There being strange, since when do they act like that and Ezra’s vague answers’ Ares says and I pack everything up.

‘So you just assume he is going to kill me for what I said earlier?’ I ask, shaking my head at him.

‘Makes sense to me’ Ares says.

I take everything out to the shed before walking inside. Kat was leaning on the kitchen counter when I walked in, eating scrambled eggs on toast.

“You came in” She says like she didn’t think I would.

“Yeah, you okay?” I ask her and she nods.

“Are you?” She asks, staring at me oddly again though I saw her eyes sparkle brighter and knew Kora was with her too.

‘Kora’ I nod to her and Kat hands me my plate and I lean on the other side of the counter watching her as she eats while I start eating mine.

“Ok Kora is creeping me out, why does she keep staring?” I ask her, she shrugs and I could tell she was unsure.

“No idea she is being-, I don’t know different” She answers before sipping her water.

“Does she wanna go for a run?” I asked her, it was the longest I have seen her come forward.

“Maybe but my father is on his way over, maybe afterwards if Ezra says it’s okay” She answers before biting into her toast.

We eat in silence when I hear the doorbell ring before the door opens. “In the kitchen Dad” She calls out as she rinses her plate. I finish mine and she holds her hand out for the plate and I pass it to her and she quickly rinses it before stacking it on the side of the sink.

“Hey pumpkin” Her father says walking into the kitchen. I watch Kat roll her eyes at the nickname which just made me more curious about why her father calls her it.

“Mateo, how have you been?” Her father asks.

“Good, well I will go” I tell them and Kat turns around looking at me.

“Are you leaving?” she asks and even her father looks at her strangely, her voice sounding off.

“Yeah to remove my radiator, I will be back,” I tell her, walking out and shaking my head.

‘Yep, Maddox told her he was killing us’ Ares says and I roll my eyes at my stupid wolf.

Katya POV

“What was that about?” my father asks as I watch Mateo leave. I turn to face him and I feel Kora leave now that Mateo was out of the room.

“Pardon?” I ask.

“You and Mateo, what’s going on with you two and where is Ezra?” My father asks.

“Oh nothing, and Ezra is doing training today” I tell him, walking over to the kettle before holding it up to him, he nods and I turn it on, grabbing some mugs down.

Turning back to my father he was watching me and I looked away, uneasy by his gaze like he was studying some science project.

“Are you sleeping with Mateo?” He asks suddenly, making my jaw drop.

“What no, I have a mate” I tell him shocked he would even ask that.

“But you like him, does Ezra know?” he asks.
