Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 69

I kept watching the alarm clock, ticking down the minutes, every second coming closer the more nervous I got wondering if Mateo was asleep. After running into him on the stairs, I knew if he saw me leave he would alert Ezra, yet I said I would meet her and from what Mateo said she would be already waiting for me. When it was 11;40PM. I carefully unwrap Ezra’s arm from around my waist before climbing off the bed.

‘We will need to shift to get there on time’ I told Kora.

‘Sure that’s a good idea, he will be more furious we shifted, then he would be of us meeting her Kat’

‘No one will be up this late and we are far enough from the border patrols’ I tell her. She didn’t seem happy but also didnt say no either. I quietly sneaked down the hall walking to Mateo’s room before listening for movement, I could hear him snoring so I knew he was asleep.

‘Let’s go’ I tell her as we crept down the stairs, making sure to avoid the third step that creaks sometimes when weight is put on it.

Walking through the house as quietly as possible I go to the door leading out the back before stripping the shirt off, knowing Kora will carry it for me. I shift, the transition gettig easier each time as I feel my muscles bunch before releasing, my bones snapping and my face morphing.

Kora shakes out her fur before stretching her claws and digging them into the earth, she grabs the shirt in her mouth and moves through the yard before stopping. We looked up at the house to make sure no lights had suddenly turned on. None were on so we darted toward the treeline.

In wolf form it was so much quicker, Kora was lithe on her feet and fast, extremely fast when allowed to be let loose. Her paws barely made sound on the dirt as she moved smoothly through the forest weaving in between trees. I felt like nothing could catch us, the moon shining between the leaves energised us and I could feel the longer we were outside the stronger we seemed to be getting. When we reach the river, Kora stops dropping my shirt while having a drink, the moon shining down on us and she shivers as her tongue laps at the cool water of the river. It felt as if the Moon was almost warming us.

Hearing a twig snap, she looked up just in time to see my mother step out of the trees. She too had brought a shirt with her and I could tell it was one of my father’s by the fact it said dad is the best on the front.

before retrieving the shirt and slipping it on. Turning around, my mother hugs me before pulling me toward the river. She sits on the grass and I sit beside

the promise I gave you to him, I had no intentions of giving you to him though. I honestly didn’t think he was serious but when you came of age, he told me he was going to tell the pack he was bannishing you so your father wouldn’t know, then he was planning to lock you away. I told your father we needed to leave before he could banish you and well obviously we came with you. I had to make sure we got you away so I asked your mate, knowing it was the one pack Jackson feared. I told your father I asked the others because he was worried about coming here. I knew this was the safest place, Jackson fears
