Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 87

Katya POV

My father never came back, I was expecting him to, he always comes back but this time he didn’t and after two days Ezra said I couldn’t wait any longer and had to deal with my mothers body. I opted for a private viewing and to have her cremated. I didn’t see the point in having a funeral, this was never her home. She didn’t have friends here, she only had me and dad and he was now gone.

All mum’s friends were back in Jackson’s pack, her reputation was built there, and for her entire life it was home. I couldn’t bear the thought of having people show up, who didn’t know her and only had a perception of what she did. To be honest no one truly knew her, yet she was my mother and the woman that raised me, that was the real Shirley, but here all they saw were her mistakes not who she was, one of the things I hated about werewolf communities was the fact they were tight knit communities and gossip travels fast. There are no secrets and besides Angie and Jasmine I never saw her interact with anyone unless it was with her fists. My father was the outgoing talkative one while mum she was more stern, less approachable and shut off to others except me and dad.

Getting up after listening to the lady drone on about life after death and yadda yadda, I walked out. That woman in the coffin was not my mother, that was some hollow version of her, and I couldn’t handle seeing her like that. Ezra follows me out. Mateo staying behind to to talk to the woman, they said her ashes would be ready in few days, my mother soon to be reduced to ash and nothing more, I just couldn’t wrap my head around it and for the last two days I also noticed I hadn’t heard or spoken to Kora either, like she just left me like my father did, never in my life have I ever felt so alone, I had no one left, no family to fall back on and that is the most lonely feeling knowing you are on your own. Yeah I had Ezra but he wouldn’t be here if he wasn’t my mate and realising that without the mate bond I would truly be alone, completely and utterly alone freightened the hell out me.

“Kat?” Ezra asks, coming outside where I was leaning on his car.

“Lets just deal with Angie, I want to go home” I tell him before reaching into his pocket and digging out his keys.

“The ceremony barely started, Kat come back inside”

“So I can look at her rotting away in a wooden box? This was never her home Ezra, she has no one here, besides you and Mateo I have no one here. I want to go home” I tell him before unlocking his car and hopping in.

Ezra walks off back inside before coming out with Mateo.

“So what do you want to do about Angie?” Ezra asks as he starts the car before reversing out of the parking space. We already knew she took the first lot of photos. But that was as far as her involvement went. Yet it still made me question if everything was a lie, I couldn’t trust her but I also couldn’t bring myself to kill her or banish her over a photo.

“Send her home” I tell him looking out the window at all the houses passing by.

“So you want her to stay?” Ezra asks and I could feel his shock and I could hear Maddox growling through the link as he forced forward.

“Send her home to her family” I tell him again. Honestly I couldn’t care less anymore. I was over it. If Jackson got a hold of me and killed me tomorrow at least I would be free of the misery and the constant looking over my shoulder. I just no longer cared anymore whatever happens, happens.

“Actually can you drop me home first, I don’t want to see her” I ask Ezra and he nods.

“ Fine but Mateo will stay with you, I won’t have you by yourself” He says his eyes looking in the mirror at Mateo. I sigh, not expecting anything less. Getting home Ezra said he would be back in 10 minutes, I went into the office needing a distraction and hoping to do some of my online studying for school. Walking in, I find my laptop bag on the desk. Next to it was Mathias’s journals. Forgetting the school work I pick that up instead.

Mateo comes in with a bottle of coke and he hands it to me.
