Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 116 Waking up, I felt like I had been hit by a truck every muscle in my body was aching but that stupid phone just wouldnât stop ringing. I tap Ezraâs chest trying to wake him. How could he not hear it, my head was pounding to its own beat and the incessant noise was not helping. Reaching over him to the nightstand, I pick up his phone and answer it since Ezra was dead to the world.
I squint at the screen and see Alexâs name appear before answering it. âHelloâ I ask, damn I even sounded like shit, canât even keep the exhaustion from my voice, yeah canât half tell what we were doing all night.
âLuna? Sorry but you need to put Alpha on it is urgentâ Alexâs voice says through the phone.
I shake Ezra and he mumbles.
âI canât get ahold of him through the mindlinkâ Alex says and I could hear something alert in his voice.
âEzra! Wake up Alex is on the phoneâ I tell him, shaking him.
âWho?â He mumbles rolling onto his stomach.
âAlexâ I tell him and his eyes fly open and I nearly fall off the bed from his abrupt movement as he sits up with me half sprawled across him.
He grabs the phone out of my hand and I sit before rolling back to the middle of the bed on my back. I feel him get out of bed. âWhat when?â Ezra says.
âHow many?â I hear him say. Mateo sits up tossing the blanket back before rubbing his hands down his face.
âJust give me an hour I will meet you at thereâ Ezra says âWhy is everyone so loud this morning?â Mateo whines before looking over at Ezra. He notices him on the phone and sits up straighter and Ezra hangs up the phone before walking into the bathroom.
âWhatâs going on?â Mateo says as Ezra walks into the bathroom.
âThis morning a heap trucks and armoured vehicles left Jacksonâs. They have been sitting on the border between packsâ
âSo he is on his way here?â Mateo says, getting up.
âNo, the trucks have stopped at the human town an hour from here â Ezra says and I hear him turn the shower on.
âWait, he is in human territory?â Mateo says leaning on the bathroom door.
âF*ck! âI hear Mateo mutter.
âWhy is that a bad thing. He hasnât come here?â I didnât understand why that was bad. Maybe they were supply trucks.
âBecause Jackson is smart, he knows we canât start anything on human land, it is neutral territory and off limits. We would risk exposing what we are, he seems to be waiting us out or waiting for somethingâ
âSo whose packs is he bordering?â I ask now wide awake and alert.
âOurs and Andreiâs, he took the mountains detouring all pack territories so no one can touch him until he steps over a boarder and he has evaded everyone to get hereâ
âSo what are you going to do?â I ask him.
âAndrei is already on his way here, Alex rang him when he couldnât get a hold of meâ Ezra says and I nod. Makes sense since Jackson is also bordering Andreiâs pack.
âSo what do you want us to do?â I ask Ezra.
âNothing, stay here. I will handle it. We are just scoping it out, to see how many there are and if he is likely to attackâ I hear Ezra say.
I sigh but figure he will do his thing because I know nothing of borders and strategic crap they handle daily. Ezra showers quickly before walking out and grabbing some shorts from the closet.
âGo back to sleep, I hopefully wonât be longâ He says but now I was wide awake. I watch him get dressed before he pecks my lips before walking into the bathroom where Mateo went. I watch him open up the shower screen.
âWatch Katâ He says.
âAlwaysâ I hear Mateo tell him before watching Ezra kiss him before walking out back into the bedroom.
âStay with Mateo, and behave, no leaving the packhouse not until I know whatâs going onâ Ezra says. I nod yawning and get up to go shower, the room smelt like a brothel and I smelt heavily of bodily fluids.
âLove youâ I call to Ezra.
âLove you moreâ I heard him call from the hallway as he walked downstairs. I hear the roller shutters lift before light fills the bathroom and I donât even remember them being closed which is odd because they are quite loud as they open and close.
I hop in the shower and start washing myself, the water helping my aching muscles before the smell of coconut shampoo and soap surrounds me.
âYou donât seem too worried,â I tell Mateo, handing him the soap.
âNo, Ezra will check it outâ he says and I nod, grabbing my toothbrush from the cup in the niche.
After we showered we made breakfast, the morning passing by quickly, hearing my phone ringing, I duck upstairs to retrieve it from the charging dock. I was a little surprised to see Angieâs name pop up on the screen.
I answer it, swallowing the chunk of apple that I was chewing on. âHey Angeâ
Yet she says nothing but I could hear her breathing before she hiccups.
âAngie?â
âI want to come home, Please kat you have to help me â She says before crying. I look at the screen to make sure it was definitely Angieâs name I saw.
âWhat? Why whatâs going on?â I ask her.
âNothing, I just miss home. I hate it hereâ She says sniffling.
âWhere is my brother?â I ask her wondering if he did something to upset her.
âWith Ezra at something, I donât know he never tells me anythingâ She says. I think trying to think of anything that she would possibly be upset about, maybe she was just home sick.
âPlease Kat, you have to help me. I canât live like thisâ She says and I see Mateo walk into the room leaning on the door frame to see who I was talking.
âWhy what happened, you seemed all lovey dovey hereâ I ask her wondering what could possibly be upsetting her.
âIt was until I got here, everything is different here, itâs not like the pack back home. I want to come home, please Katâ
âHe didnât hurt you did he?â
âNo, not in that sense, he is good but I canât live like this, no woman should live like thisâ She says before breaking down when I hear a manâs voice in the background.
âWho are you talking to, did Alpha give you permission to have your phone?â I was shocked by his words. Permission to use her own phone?
âGive me that, who are you talking to?â I hear a scuffle before the man is on the phone.
âWho is?âcomes a deep voice.
âWho are you?â I ask.
âDarnel, Alpha Andreiâs Beta, now who is this?â He says, âKatya Hartley Lunaâ_ He cuts me off.
âOh Alpha Ezraâs mate, sorry Luna, Andrei isnât here, he is meeting with your mate. I will let him know you are trying to get a hold of himâ He says before hanging up the phone. I stare at the screen, shocked he hung up on me and that he would talk to his own Luna like that, let alone someone elseâs.
âWhat the f*ck was that?â Mateo says and I look at him.
âI donât know, but Angie sounded scared of Darnel, she didnât even say anything back to him, â I tell him.
âAndrei and Ezra are on their way here, find out whatâs going on but we canât do much now, Kat. She is no longer a pack memberâ Mateo says.
âHe is my brother, whatâs he going to do tell my dadâ I tell him.
Ezra and Andrei arrived 20 minutes later. Mateo and I were going over the mail that came in and he was trying to show me how to sort it out, telling me what is priority and whatâs not when Ezra walks into the office with Andrei behind him.
âFind anything?â I ask them.
âNo, the trucks were empty and only the drivers were there, they loaded up supplies and leftâ Ezra says a worried expression on his face âThats a good thingâ I tell him and he shakes his head.
âNo, why would he take armoured cars, he is up to something, I sent the scouts back to his borderâ
Ezra says.
âWait, you pulled yours from the border?â Andrei asks him.
âWell yeah told them to follow the trucks why?â
â I pulled mine, thinking some yours were staying to watchâ Andrei says.
âI told you this the other day, mine would followâ Ezra tells him with a growl.
âI must have misheard you, I have been distracted... f*ck!â Andrei growls.
âMateo mindlink Alex, tell him to check the game cameras to see if anyone leftâ Ezra tells him and I see Mateoâs eyes glaze over. I turn to face Andrei.
âHow is Angie?â I ask him and his head whips to me.
âShe is fine, why?â He asks. I shrug âWondering why she wants to come homeâ I tell him and he growls.
âYou spoke to her, when?â
âDonât growl at me Andrei, now tell me why Angie seemed petrified of your Beta, and why she wants to come home, you better not have hurt herâ I tell him. Ezra looks at him.
âNo of course not she is my Luna, she just doesnât like how I run things in the packâ He says and I see Ezra shake his head at him before sitting at his desk.
â I told you when we first met Andrei his pack was different from ours, it is no secret Kat, I knew Angie would struggle to adjust to his way of running things, but she wanted to goâ Ezra says defending him which shocked me, yet he didnât look like he agreed with Andrei.
âDifferent how?â I ask, looking at Andrei.
â She will adjust. I am not changing shit, the pack has been run like that since the beginning it works and that is how it staysâ Andrei says. Ezra scoffs, shaking his head.
âExplainâ I tell him wondering what the heck he means.
âI donât need to explain my pack business with you Kat, sister or not. I donât interfere with you and your mates so stay out of my business with mine â
Andrei says.
Ezra growls at him and the look he gives him makes me shiver.
âYou do your thing, I will do mineâ Andrei says to him.
âSo you would have no problem if I suppress Kat like that?â
âShe is your mate not mineâ Andrei says.
âWhat is that supposed to mean?â I ask, looking at Ezra.
âAndreiâs pack lives in the stone ages when it comes to equality, women have no sayâ Ezra explains and I look at my brother.
âWhat?â I ask, horrified. Though sweat started to bead on Andrei before he shook his head, shaking off whatever came over him.
âShe will adjust, women are to be seen not heard thatâs how it is, you want your women running around doing whatever they please thatâs up to you Ezra, I donât need your help running my packâ Andrei says. When suddenly Mateo tunes back in, his face ghostly pale.
Before he could say anything though Andrei clutches his chest, before a growl escapes him.
âI need to get backâ He gasps, his entire body trembling.
âWhat?â I asked but he was already gone.
âGet every warrior to the borders and send Andrei reinforcementsâ Ezra yells to Mateo before rushing out the door after Andrei. I chased after him to see him Shift, Maddox taking over.
â5 trucks left while both sets of scouts followed the trucks, it was a distractionâ I hear come through the link. My blood runs cold, as Alexâs voice suddenly flits through everyoneâs head.
âWhere did they head?â I ask him âHowlers packâ Alex says and I could tell he was running in wolf form.
âMateo lock her downâ Ezra voice says and I turn to look for Mateo.
âMateo?â I call to him as I walk back into the office to find him gone. Walking back out, I hear the roller shutters start coming down and race for the door only for Mateo to step in my way.
âYou arenât going out thereâ
âMateo, Angie is thereâ I tell him.
âSorry Kat, Alphaâs ordersâ Mateo says before I watch his canines slip from his gums. I step back but itâs too late Mateo expects me to run before I feel Mateo sink his teeth into my neck and I struggle in his grip so I can command him but then everything goes black.
