Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 98

Katya POV

Waking to fingers gently moving my hair aside. Opening my eyes I find Mateo leaning over me. I smile up at him and he leans down pressing his lips to mine softly before sucking my bottom lip.

“Morning” I tell him and he chuckles.

“It’s the middle of the day” He whispers before fiddling with something. I try to look down to see what he is doing but can only see his hands underneath my chin. He pulls them away and I feel a chain scrape against my neck as he turns it, making me look down to see my pumpkin necklace.

“You found it?” I whisper rubbing my thumb over the gold pumpkin, relief flooding me that they found the last thing my mother ever gave me. I become choked on emotion, I thought it funny

when she gave it to me but now it was my most cherished possession representing both my parents.

“One of the men on patrol found it the other day and gave it to Ezra” He tells me before pulling on the thin chain and holding up a blue jewel that was added to it.

“And this, this is a piece of your mum” He says, making my eyes snap to his in confusion.

“I had some of your mothers ashes made into a stone so you could always have her with you” Mateo tells me.

“That’s my mum?” I whisper when he leans over to the bedside table and retrieves a box. He hands it to me and I pull the lid off to find a silver urn. It had a wolf engraving on the side. I swallow the lump that formed in my throat threatening to choke me.

This was all that was left of my mother, my beautiful strong mother reduced to nothing but ash.

It was hard to picture someone like her now just sitting in the cold silver urn before me. I never imagined life without her and now I have to face a future without her in it. She was a constant in my life and now she is gone and I can no longer picture a future without her in it despite holding what’s left of her in my hands.

“Thank you” I tell him softly, like what do you say when someone hands you your dead mother?

Words fail me as I touch the sapphire pendant hanging around my neck.

“She will always be with you, just remember the good things about her, forget her death. Her death doesn’t define her so don’t let it” Mateo tells me before kissing my forehead.

“Where is Ezra?” I ask before seeing movement behind Mateo, Ezra was leaning against the bedroom door, his eyes held a far away look and I knew he was mindlinking, his eyes glazed over before he refocuses on the room, his eyes turning back to their normal caramel colour.

He looked troubled as he walked over before leaning down and pecking my lips softly.
