Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 180

Last Night we could have filled a lake with the tears the pack shed. This morning it wasn’t about our heartbreak but preparing the boy we all loved to remain calm about the change in situation. Andrei pulled every pack from duty so they could spend it with Jonah knowing not one person was wanting to leave his side. So instead we played, we ate like every  other  day.  Our attempts of trying to make everything remain normal was heartbreaking for us, knowing tomorrow we wake up and that piece of him that has become routine will be gone until we can bring home again.

Clive was due to pick him an hour ago now and was running late. I hoped he never showed up and dropped off the face of the earth so we could keep him. He didn’t deserve him, he didn’t know  him. We only had him a very short time and no amount of time would be long enough in my eyes. But in that short time we already knew him. We knew  what his favourite cereal was, his favourite bedtime story. He liked climbing trees and painting rocks, he was more excited about a cardboard box and what he could do with it than any toy the pack tried to give him. He was adventurous and cheeky and knew  how  to push everyone’s buttons, push them  to   the edge of   their sanity and bring them back with one giggle and smile. He loved campfires and his eyes would light up just from having your undivided attention,  making  me realize   that was something he didn’t get much of even when he had a family because they were always on the move, something we were all familiar  with because  we all were rogues turned family turned Pack.

Everyone was on edge and alert waiting to see the man we were being forced to trust him with. How anyone could put a child with a man like him was beyond us. Andrei’s lawyers tried everything and even they couldn’t make sense of it. Andrei’s lawyer even  went and knocked  on a judge’s door in the middle of the night to beg him to reconsider. The judge was apparently unwilling to help, making us think someone was pulling strings because who in their right mind would agree for an abusive piece of shit like Clive to have rights to a 6 year old  boy and now we only had  one other option to  try before Kat petitioned to have the laws changed.

I stand up looking down at Jonah drawing with a stick in the dirt before he would rub the picture out and draw   another.  He smiles up at me,  though it wasn’t as big and bright as usual, his eyes conveying a different message. He was scared and didn’t  want  to  go yet he smiled anyway because that was Jonah.

“I will be back in a minute” I tell him and he nods, going back to drawing in the dirt. I walk over to Andrei. He had two duffle bags and he drops them next to the log that sat around the campfire, looking over documents in his hands. Stopping beside him he looks over at me with a troubled expression on his face, he was nervous and scared like everyone else was.

“That’s everything from the safes, I can get more but we would have to go into the city”

“Alpha” Zane calls out while jogging over with another bag in his hand.

“Here, take it. It’s all I could find around the house but there is l0k there” Zane says, dropping his brown paper bag into a duffle bag when I look over to see the entire pack heading toward us.

Everyone emptying out the pockets and their savings, dropping it into the bags, Zane counting and taking note of everything and calculating.

Andrei tried to tell them no but they refused to listen, dropping everything they had and with what Andrei pulled from the safe there was nearly 400k there.

“Also Alpha, I need to speak to you later on” Zane tells him and Andrei nods his head.

“Already?” Andrei asks.

Andrei instantly pissed off just at his disrespect of the way he turned up flicking dirt and rocks on everyone. One of the rear windows of his car was smashed and the man inside looked out at us with a smirk. Andrei places Jonah on the ground and I pull
