Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 99

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 99

Katya POV

Ezra was gone most of the day only returning just before the pack run. I could feel something was going on with him. Mateo was also acting strange like he knew what was going on yet when I asked he always avoided answering. Hearing Ezra’s car pull u p as I was coming downstairs with Angie. I go to open the door.

Ezra, so consumed in his thoughts, almost ran directly into me as he reached for the door handle instead, stumbling forward as I opened the door, his hands grabbing me before he completely knocked me over as he caught himself on the door trim. “Sorry love” He says, his arm pulling me closer.

“You’re in a rush” I tell him yet his face gives nothing away.

“Just something came up” He says his lips brushing my cheek when he suddenly growls, looking up his eyes were trained on Angie as he peered over my shoulder.

“Why are you still here and where is Mateo? I told him not to leave you alone with her” He says harshly.

“Right here” Mateo says walking downstairs in just shorts as he went to get ready for the pack run.

“Still doesn’t explain why Angie is still here” Ezra says, giving her an unwelcoming look.

“ She is my friend” I tell him and Ezra growls low and deep in the back of his throat.

“You trust to easily kat”

“No, she used her Alpha voice, Angie asked her to, t o prove herself” Mateo tells him walking down the last of the steps toward us.

“You used your Alpha voice, so everything is okay with Kora then?” Ezra asks, giving me a perplexed look.

“Kora? No, she is being quiet. I haven’t spoken to her since this” I tell him pointing to my neck. Ezra seems to think before nodding and shutting the door behind him. His brows furrowed in confusion and I tried to read him through the bond only to find him shut me out.

“Everything okay?” I ask him and he seems to shake himself out of his thoughts and lets me go.

“ Everything is fine, go outside and start meeting everyone as they show up, Mateo follow me ” Ezra tells him walking up the steps. He stops halfway turning around and looking back at us, Ezra’s eyes going to Angie.

“Try anything Angie and I will give you to Maddox”

Ezra says, the calmness of his voice sent chills up m y spine. Angie bares her neck to him. “Yes, Alpha, ” She stammers out. Ezra nods, his eyes falling on me, he gives me an indecipherable look before turning and heading back to the third floor with Mateo hot on his heels.

“Well he didn’t kill me, so that’s a bonus” Angie mutters, nudging me with her elbow. I nodded to her, that was something I guess but there was definitely something going on. Around 5 PM people started showing up. It was obvious how excited everyone was about the pack run, making me realise how much it meant to the pack to have a day each week designated specifically for it. Though it was a little strange how everyone would bare their necks to me and kept calling me Luna. Mateo was a little uncomfortable when they did the same to him and I could see he was out of his element as I approached where he was cooking at the barbeques along with three other pack warriors.

“Ezra needs to come down and explain this to them, I can’t handle everyone calling me Alpha” Mateo mutters to me and I nod. I could feel his discomfort. “Want me to speak to him”

“Yes please, he is in office, maybe you can convince him to come out” Walking inside, I go in search of him. I could hear him cursing as I approached his office door. I knock on the slightly ajar door.

‘What? ” He growls and I push the door open. He looks up realising it is me.

“Sorry” He says, grabbing papers and the journals off his desk and swiping them into the drawer when I notice Mathias sitting on the couch in the corner of the room.

“I will take my leave” Mathias says bowing slightly. Ezra comes around his desk leaning on it. He opens his arms to me and I walk over to him letting him pull me into his embrace.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to growl at you” He whispers, pressing his face into my neck and inhaling my scent.

“What’s wrong?” He asks running his nose across m y cheek when he pulls his face from my neck.

“Nothing, you haven’t come out of the office, Mateo is a little uncomfortable out there and so am I” I tell him.

“Why has someone said something to him, who?” Ezra snaps angrily, his body trembling.

“What no, but he doesn’t like them calling him Alpha, it’s making him uncomfortable ” I tell him and he sighs.

“Yes, I know. Mateo doesn’t want to be an Alpha” Ezra says with a sigh before pinching the bridge of his nose and squeezing his eyes shut.

“I will be out in a minute and deal with it” He tells me before dismissing me.

I walk toward the door stopping as I am about to walk out of it. “Is everything ok, you seem off” I tell him.

“Everything is fine, we can talk about it later. I will be out in a minute Kat” He says walking back around his desk and sitting down. I had no idea what was going on with him and without Kora telling me what’s going on with Maddox, I couldn’t figure it out. But as time dragged on I started to become anxious when Kora wasn’t coming forward and getting excited about the pack run, she loved going for runs so I found it a little odd that I hadn’t heard from her, just radio silence, my thoughts my own making me feel lonely.

We were all sitting around the entertainment area when Ezra finally walked out. Mateo lets out a breath of relief upon seeing him. The chatter instantly dies down when Ezra uses his aura as he steps into view of everyone. “Alpha” Everyone except Mateo I say in unison.
