Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 61

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 61

The front door opens and a giggling Jasmine and Mateo walk in, stopping when they see us. Jasmine’s face turned red and I chuckled, shaking my head at her flaming cheeks as she held Mateo’s hand.

“We are going for a run if you want to come,” Ezra tells them.

“We might meet you out there, have fun” Mateo says before grabbing Jasmine and chucking her over his shoulder and heading for the stairs.

“Kat!” Jasmine calls out as he climbs the stairs, holding her hand out to me.

“Use protection” I taunt, letting Ezra tug me toward the back of the house.

Ezra pulled me with him to the forest edge, the sun was going down, yet the heat made the breeze warm as it washed over my skin. I watch as he mind-links everyone on patrol before focusing back on me.

“Stay with Maddox, Kora. No wandering, we can’t go past the river, so stick close” He says grabbing my face, she agrees and he lets go tugging his shirt off and dropping it on the ground next to the tree before stripping his shorts off.

He tugs my shirt off over my head and I cover myself looking at the trees wondering if the patrols were gone. “No one is out there Kat, you can shift” He says pulling my face back to his.

“Can you turn around, I don’t like you seeing me shift” He presses his lips to my head before turning around and shifting himself. I feel Kora press forward before I feel her shift, the gross sensation of our bones dislodging and snapping, as they realign makes a shiver run up my spine, my face elongating and my hands turning to paws. Kora digs her claws into the soft earth before stretching herself like a cat.

“You can turn around” I tell Ezra as he turns around in wolf form. Maddox jumped on her and rubbed his face along her neck, masking her with his scent as he rubbed himself on her like a cat. Kora starts purring before she licks his face.

“Ready?” Maddox growls and Kora answers him talking as if she were a person.

“Yes lead the way” She says, biting his tail as he ducks his head between her legs. He whimpers before pulling away licking her face and she bites him playfully.

“Maddox, you’re meant to be taking her for a run, not mauling her” Ezra tells him, making me laugh.

“Shall I lead the way, Alpha cling on?” She tells him and he growls at her nipping her ear.

“Mine” He snaps at her.

“Yes, yes you keep saying that, anything else in your vocabulary?” Maddox bites her muzzle softly and she smacks him with her paw.

“I am trying to stay with you but if you don’t move and start running. I will ditch you and leave you behind” She tells him as he keeps trying scent her.

“Maddox run with her, we can’t keep patrols off for too long” Ezra tells him and he growls wanting to play with her. She jumps on him, biting his ear when he still refuses to lead the way.

“I will race you to the river” She says before jumping off him and darting into the trees. I could hear him chasing after her which spurred her on more, Maddox heavy feet catching up behind her and she ducks under a log only for him to jump over it and in front of her before taking off. Kora chasing after him.

“Come on Kat, keep up” Ezra taunts as he gets further ahead. Kora picks up her pace, pushing her legs faster, the breeze moving in her fur as she gives chase. Maddox beats her to the river when Kora barrels into him, shoving him in. He drops under water and she looks over the edge yet he doesn’t come up.

‘Where did he go?’ she asks looking in the water and up and down the stream, she starts running up the side in panic.

“Hmm tough one, I know she raised you but I do see Ezra and his wolf’s point, you don’t know what she is capable of anymore Kat”

“She is my mum Jas” I tell her. And she gives me a shrug.

“So what’s going on with you and Mateo?” I ask, wriggling my eyebrows at her.

“Tomorrow at school not here?” She whispers and I see Mateo smirk at her words.

“Come on guys we need to head back, patrol hasn’t been done over here in two hours now, I need to let them pass” Ezra calls, coming over and grabbing my hips.

We watch them leave before Ezra climbs out pulling me with him. “Maddox was good” I tell him as he grabs my hand leading me through the forest.

“Yeah he has calmed now that he knows you don’t have feelings for Mateo” Ezra says, pulling me to him and draping his arm over my shoulders as we head home.

“Hopefully him and Jasmine”

“Jasmine hasn’t found her mate yet, things change when you find your mate, Kat” Ezra says, cutting me off.

“They would make good mates though”

“Well see what happens, maybe if she doesn’t find him after a while, she may let Mateo mark her as his” He says kissing my head.
