Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 85

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 85

Ezra POV

Maddox finally gave me control back, shifting back and leaving me face down in the dirt.

‘Please tell me you didn’t go after him’ I ask him, getting up off the dirt.

‘No I wanted to, I should have’ he growled at me. The sun was breaking through the trees above and I squinted at the sudden light after spending hours in the darkness of my own mind. Looking at how high the sun was, I knew it was late in the morning. I wipe off the dead leaves and dirt sticking to me before trudging through the forest.

Opening the back door leading into the dining room I see Kat, making coffee at the counter. Noticing me she grabs an extra cup down.

“You okay?” I ask her.

“My dad left” she states.

“Yeah, last night he went rogue,” I tell her, walking around the dining room table toward her.

“Will you let him back when he returns?” She asks, pouring milk in the cups.

“Of course but he might not come back, Kat” I tell her, hoping she wasn’t relying on his return.

“He will, I know my father will come back. He won’t abandon me” she says.

“Where is Mateo?” I ask her.

“Shower he should be down soon, where did you go?” She asks, stepping closer. I ignore her question because I am not really sure where I went.

“You seem okay,”I tell her, pulling on her shirt and tugging her closer.

“I think I just needed sleep” she says, wrapping her arms around my waist.

“Ah you’re filthy, did Maddox roll in a carcass?” She chuckles but doesn’t pull away.

“I will admit I have leaves and dirt in places that should not have leaves and dirt” I tell her before kissing her head.

“We need to talk later. I think I know who the person is working for Jacksons Pack” I tell her and she looks up at me.

“Who?” She asks.

“When I get out of the shower I will tell you” I tell her.

“Okay, go shower then” she says before she stands on her tippy toes trying to reach my lips.

Maddox pushed forward to look at her. He always found her height or lack there of amusing.

“Hi Maddox” she says before gripping my neck and tugging me down. Her lips press softly to mine before she steps back.

“Go shower, then you can tell me what you found out” she says before pouring boiling water into one of the mugs, leaving the water out of the other two.

‘Does she seem off’ Maddox asks.

‘yep, but at least she isn’t angry, I think she is in shock’

‘explain why her emotions feel so muted through the bond, I think Kora is pulling it from her’ Maddox says, making me think.

Maddox pulls on my anger so it wouldn’t be surprising if Kora was taking her grief though it did make me wonder what would happen when she no longer does.

Walking upstairs, Mateo was coming out of the bathroom as I was about to walk in.

“Kat is making coffee, did she wake up while I was gone?”

“No, only got up about half an hour ago when I did”

“I will shower then we will deal with Madeline” I tell him and he nods about to walk out when he stops.

“Have you told Kat yet?”

“Not yet”

“Rightio, I won’t mention it then” he says walking toward his room.

Looking in the mirror on my way, my appearance was worse than I thought.

I had mud everywhere and blood, sniffing my hand I nearly puke.

‘I may have had a snack’ Maddox tells me.

‘I don’t even want to know’

‘probably best you don’t B*stard stuck his antler in my side’

‘I said I didn’t want to know’ I feel him shrug and I turned the shower on, stepping under its spray and washing the gunk off.

Katya POV

I was nervous to find out who they think it is, what I wasn’t prepared for was finding out they were here this entire time.

“Madeline is in the basement, we think she may have been the one that was giving information to Jackson” Ezra tells me.

“And she is in the basement?” I ask, feeling sick to my stomach at the thought.

“Yes we wanted to wait to see what you wanted to do with her” Ezra says and I run my fingers through my hair.This was too much, way too much.

“I want to see her” I tell him and he looks at Mateo.
