Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 83
Ezra POV
After putting a passed out Kat to bed, we walk back downstairs to deal with the clean up. Mateo and the back warriors were removing bodies as I walked out, dumping them in a pile.
”Jasmine” I waved to her, motioning for her to come over, she dropped the leg she was carrying and jogs over to me.
“Yes Alpha?” She says stopping beside me.
“Did you guys tell anyone where you were all going” I ask her, it was a little too convenient that Jackson would attack while I was dealing with rosters and Mateo was on the other side of the town on duty, also why attack directly near the river, they would have had to have known we were not with her. Jackson was daring but even he knew it would be a death sentence to his men if we were close by.
“No one, we left the cafe where we met her parents, went to my place and Angies to grab our swimmers and came straight here” She says thinking.
“So you didn’t tell anyone?”
“Only my mate and my mum” She answers before looking at Angie. I follow her gaze and Angie looks over at us before walking over.
“What’s going on?” She asks looking at Jasmine, Mateo also wanders over.
“Did you tell anyone where you were going?”
“No, of course not and Kat was with me and Jasmine the entire time, we know better than to just leave her alone by herself without you or mateo” Angie explains. I nodded yet something was off.
“So you didn’t see anyone or stop to speak to anyone, not even while out?”
“No, we went to the cafe, met her parents there and had lunch. Kat had an argument with Ms Taylor then we all went home to get our swimmers and came straight here” Angie says and I nod. Wait, did they mean Madeline?
“Wait Ms Taylor?” Mateo says asking the question I was about to ask. They both nod.
“As in Madeline Taylor?” I ask and Jasmine answers.
“Madeline the teacher from school, she bumped into Kat and had a go at her, so Kat put her in her place”
“Alex!” I call waving one of our pack warriors over. He was in his mid twenties and had longer hair, a bit of a hippy but a loyal member.
“Go grab Madeline for me”
“Okay Alpha she should be on duty soon anyway”
“What do you mean on duty soon, she isn’t on patrols at night and not on the northside” Mateo says, stepping around me and looking at Alex.
“Oh, I must be mistaken then she was on the other night, I will go get her” He says turning around to go retrieve her when Mateo grabs his arm stopping him.
“When was she on duty and where, you know Alpha Ezra doesn’t let women patrol at night, you didn’t think to question it?” Alex stops looking at me before turning to face us.
“She has been doing patrols along the borders and the back of the river, she has been on every night for the past month, I didn’t think anything of it because well you know” He says motioning to me.
“We are not involved, Kat is my mate you know this”
“Yeah well not now obviously because of Kat, I just assumed you said she could because that’s what she said”
“Find her and bring her to the Packhouse” Mateo tells him and he nods, running off into the trees.
“You think Madeleine had something to do with it?” Jasmine asks.
“Not sure but we will find out” I tell her and she nods before grabbing Angie and going off to help clean up. Mateo walks over toward the two men and their mutilated corpses.
I go over to the one laying next to the packhouse first, the one who shot Shirley. Crouching beside him. No doubt it was one of Jackson’s men, I could smell their Pack scent on him when Mateo called out.
“Ezra he isn’t Jackson’s” Mateo says, making me look over at him standing next to the other one.
I get up walking over to Mateo and look down, no he wasn’t jacksons man, he was Andrie’s.
“Great, just what we need” I tell Mateo who nods.
“Kat?”
“Inside” I tell him.
