Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 71
“To get a drink” I lie and he nods letting me go before snuggling back into his pillow. I wait a few minutes for him to fall back asleep.

I walk to the walk in grabbing one of Ezra’s shirts from the hanger.

“You have drunk too much Kat, I don’t think I can shift, I feel queasy” Kora says. Great, now I had to run, I felt fine though. Grabbing some track pants and a jumper, I slip them on, ditching Ezra’s shirt on the floor before sneaking out.

Going down the steps, I forget about the third one and it creaks. My heart almost stopped at the loud noise, made louder by the deafening silence that had fallen over the house.

It took me thirty minutes, quicker than last time to get there and I stayed for around an hour when my mother told me to head home because I couldn’t stop yawning. Trudging back we part ways when I am halfway back home.

Kora was off making me wonder if me drinking affected her and not me, because I felt completely sober while she felt sluggish. Hearing a twig snap. I freeze, sniffing the air, my heart hammering in my chest and Kora stirs nervously.

‘What is it’

‘Must have been an animal’ I tell her and I keep walking yet I felt like I was being watched.

I move quicker and start running when I hear movement behind me making me run faster. When I hear another twig snap off to the side of me.

“I’m sorry Kat, you left me no choice” he says.
