Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 113

Katya POV

I stayed in my room, I heard my father pledge to Ezra and felt the pack link snap into place through the bond. I couldn’t face him, I could barely look at him. Ezra I could tell was angry at me for going against him and I knew he would be saying something to me, giving me more reason to hide away from everyone. I directly went against what he told my father and I could tell he was holding back from having a go at me, trying to calm himself down. I felt guilty, but he is my father and I understand his need for revenge, his need to make Jackson pay.

I was worried about going to war with Jackson, worried for Mateo. I couldn’t imagine me picking anyone over him which is why the moon goddess vision made no sense to me. What could possibly be worth sacrificing a mate for? Hearing a knock on the door before it pushed open, making me look toward the door. Relief flooding me when Mateo steps in and not Ezra.

“On a scale of one to ten, how mad is he?” I ask Mateo.

Mateo says with a shrug.

“I should have kept my mouth shut”I tell him and he comes over sitting next to me on the bed.

“He is just seeing them go, Andrei said he will be back tomorrow. Same as your father” I sigh great, now I will have to see him again.

“I know you don’t want to hear it, but maybe speak with your father Kat, you only get one”

“He lied, and cheated my mother out of her mate and abandoned his son” I tell him. Mateo nods before gripping my knee.

“There is two sides to every story, your mother did some terrible things Kat and you forgave her, I just don’t want you spending so much time hating him that you forget to love him too, nothing worse than waking up one day and they are gone and realising that you spent so much time hating them, and the only person you hurt was yourself”

“You want me to just forgive him?” I ask him and he shrugs.

“That’s up to you, but you don’t have to forgive him for what he did, forgive for yourself, that’s why it is called forgiveness, only you can give it when you have been wronged, only you choose who you forgive nobody can make you forgive them, you choose that when you realise you have no time for hate, no time to stress over what you can’t change, forgiveness isn’t about forgetting what they did, it allows you to move on though freeing you from the hate of what they did” I think over his words before looking at him. Wondering who he hated but never forgave then regretted it.

“You wanna know who, don’t you? I am an open book Kat, I don’t mind you being in my head, I am not ashamed of anything in my past” He says and I nod.

but if you don’t feel like snooping I can just tell you?”

“Then who do you regret not forgiving?” I ask him.

“My biological mother, Andrea, was my real mother. She raised me, but my mum was cold, distant, not a motherly bone in her body. No maternal instinct”

“Then why do you regret not forgiving her?”

“Because when she died, I didn’t even cry, didn’t shed one tear for her, she was never cruel or hurt me, it was just like I didn’t exist. It wasn’t until I got older and Andrea told me more about her, She had me when she was 16, though that is not an excuse, there are some wonderful young mothers, but after speaking to Andrea and learning about my mother’s past, her parents were the same, but I had a loving father, both her parents hated her, were cruel to her, I got a medical chart once of hers and my mother was abused from when she was baby, so many medical reports stating abuse, so it made sense that she didn’t know how to love me when she was never showed love herself by her parents, she was blamed for her parents divorce which is obviously unheard of with mates. Andrea told me my mother was the same, she thought I would come between her and my father. Genetic upbringing I call it, she turned out exactly like her parents, hated her child because that was all she was shown, doesn’t make up for what she did, but made it

easier to understand why she was like that and once I realised I felt guilty for blaming her” I sigh, I still didn’t agree with his mother treating him like that but he forgave her.

“Your parents were good to you Kat, until all this went down. Your father cherished you, you don’ t have to agree with the things he has done, but maybe you could understand his reason for doing them” Mateo says.

“ I am not asking you to forgive him Kat, that is your decision just make sure you aren’t hurting yourself by thinking you are punishing him when really you might be punishing yourself” Mateo says before standing.

“Where are you going?” I ask him.

“Ezra is back” He says and I hear the back door open and close.

“Argh, great” Mateo chuckles.
