Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 178

Sage POV

We locked ourselves in the house, the roller shutters going down and locking into place. Kat was a monster when the darkness took over her, Mateo tried his best to explain to me what the heck was going on, but one thing was clear, they all feared her when she was like this. I didn’t realize the extent until I saw her in wolf form biting at the tyres, fear gripped me that she would be crushed under  the rear tyres. But nothing scared me more

when I realized she was trying to attack her kids.

Mateo explained when she was like that it was all basic instinct, that nothing was left of Kat when she got that way. Jonah was frightened as the house locked down. Whimpering and I felt bad that I couldn’t shift back to comfort him, his  body pressed between my front legs, his tiny hands clutching my fur were shaking violently. I lick his face, the only offer of comfort I could give him or I would have to walk around naked, my clothes shredded to pieces when I shifted.

Dipping my head, I sniff Jonah’s face  tugging  on his shirt to move into the living room and on the couch, he quickly obliges climbing up next to Marge who brushes his cheek softly as she places both babies on the floor to crawl around.

Donnie   nips at our face, his voice loud and clear echoing in my head. He was mad.

“You could have got  bitten”   He growls, not happy that we tossed ourselves at Kat, directly in the path of her snapping jaws. Kat was my friend  and I knew  she would never   forgive herself if she hurt her kids, hurt Marge  or  Jonah. Jonah the thought of something happening to him twisted my stomach painfully, oh how I loved that little boy, he had nestled his way into everyone’s heart and I would protect him with my life even if Donnie hated me for it, yet I knew his instincts burned the same.

Sierra nips him back when Donnie suddenly walks up the  steps and disappears. When he comes back it’s Andrei, dressed in a pair of shorts.

“Sierra” Andrei calls, nodding for us to follow after him. I follow him to a large bathroom with multiple shower cubicles and toilets lining the walls. He hands me some clothes that I know belong to Kat. Quickly shifting I put on the tights and one of her shirts.

“Come  here ”  Andrei  growls tugging me   to him, his arms wrapping around my shoulders as he buries his face in my neck.

“Are you ok?” He asks and I nod, I was only worried about Kat. She came off so strong willed, so independent and connected with herself and it hurt to see this side of her, a piece of her breaking.

Sometimes looking at her I forgot she was lg.  She seemed far older than me, and appeared to know herself better than I knew myself. I couldn’t imagine the weight and pressure on her shoulders, the expectations people had of her, all while trying to navigate through motherhood and a bond with not one man but two.

Andrei leads me out to the living room, Derrick makes coffee bringing it out when Marge suddenly shrieks. My heart thumps erratically looking for danger when I hear a baby giggle. Fear was evident on Marge’s face before I realized why. Jonah was holding both of Marabella’s hands, the mittens fallen off  and  she cackled loudly as he waved her arms about.

Marge quickly grabs the mittens. Derrick pulled Jonah away from her, but she smiled a  huge gummy grin at him, kicking her legs and arms before pouting and her bottom lip trembled as her hands were covered again.

“I know sweet girl, I know,” Marge tells her. Andrei was observing Jonah and Marabella carefully before scooping Marabella off the floor.

“ She didn’t hurt him, it’s ok Jonah you’ re not in trouble buddy” Andrei tells him while bouncing Marabella on his knee. Derrick leans over handing me a coffee and Jonah crawls into my lap. Marge brushes his hair from his eyes.

“We just need to look out for her hands, I know you wanted to play. But she has powers like her mumma” Marge explains. Jonah nods.

“Like spiderman?” Jonah asks and I chuckle. “Yes, like spiderman” Marge tells him.

“That’s cool, I want to be spiderman,” Jonah says excitedly before crawling off me to play with Eziah.

“Does he have superpowers too?” Jonah asks.

“Yes, but you can touch his hands,” Marge tells him. I could see the confusion on his face as his brows furrowed looking between Marabella and Eziah, I could see he was wondering why Eziah’s hands were safe to touch but not Marabella’s.

minutes Andrei says we should get ready to leave. I wait for them to come in, wondering if anyone got hurt. Getting up, I walk to the door, pulling on the peephole and look out and nearly spit my coffee across the door, choking as some sprays out my nose. I slam the
