Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 192

Andrei POV

I woke to the sound of people whispering and banging around. Sitting up in bed, I noticed someone   had closed our bedroom door. Looking down at Jonah and Sage they were both sleeping peacefully and I  carefully  climbed out of bed  to not wake them as I went to find out who  was  in the packhouse and who closed our door. I knew it must  be pack members  and my   father  because   I would have woken to the feeling of trespassers on my territory.

Pulling a tank top on, I open the door carefully, closing the door behind me to find Zane, Malik, Casen and Vince along with my father in the surveillance room. Rubbing a hand down my face I walk over to the room to see my father stand up with a box in his hands. The room is bare and all equipment is being removed.

Touching Zane’s shoulder he nearly jumps out of his skin not realising I was behind him. His arms flailing about as I gave him a scare. Casen laughs, mimicking his flailing hands and the noise that left him poking fun and laughing at Zane. I chuckle as Zane turns around.

“Fuck, make some noise next time, nearly shit my pants. Why are you creeping around for” He asks.

“Well it’s my house” I tell him, stepping into the empty room.

“What are you all doing here, and what are you doing?” I ask. My father walks out with the box of equipment and walks downstairs.

“Well now Jonah is home, he needs his own room” Malik says and I nod while yawning.

“Yeah I wanted to move all this to the office downstairs” I tell him.

“Already done,” Casen says, grinning.

“Vince is about to go down and set it up again for you” Malik says, nudging Vince. He nods and ducks out of the room. I look around the room that was down the end of the hall from ours and off the landing on this floor.

“What time is it?” I ask as my father walks back into the room.

“A little after 2pm” He answers and I nod my head. I slept the entire day away.

“Now that you are up, you can help carry everything in” My fathers says, gripping my shoulder.

“Carry what in?” I ask him.

“Your father went shopping  this morning, woke me up  at 7 am to head into the  City” Casen says clearly not appreciating the early wake up.

“Sage and Jonah?” Malik asks.

“Still sleeping, ” I tell him, looking back at my bedroom door.

“Well come on, we can bring everything up now” My father says and I follow him out of the  room  and down the stairs. Walking out of  the packhouse I find my fathers old wagon with a trailer on the back loaded with boxes of all different sizes. The back of  his wagon full to the brim, he  wouldn’t have even been able to see out the rearview mirror.

I look over my shoulder at my father who shrugs. “I may have been a little excited about his return and I couldn’t sleep, ” he tells me.

“You brought all this for Jonah?” I ask a little shocked.   I knew we   had to sort   him a room out but we would have gone and he didn’t have to spend his money to do it.

“Yes, he is my  grandson. Come on” He  says walking over to the trailer and undoing the straps.

We unpack the trailer and a few pack members come over to help unload the mountain load of toys and linen from the trunk of the wagon.

We haul  all the  furniture   upstairs before  Casen grabs the tools from the basement and places them beside me. My father and I started unpacking the bed to put it together and Malik set the  mattress against the wall removing the plastic covering.

“He will love this,” I tell my father looking at the picture on the box. The bed was a green race car. My father and I set to work putting it together and trying to follow the impossible instructions. We got  the bed together only to have to pull it apart again when we realised we placed the bottom support   railing upside   down and couldn’t screw the slats down flat from the joins.

“How did we mess that up?” my father says while scratching his chin and staring at the instructions again.

“This is why I left the flatpacks to Shirley” He says and I laugh turning the frame on the side to see if we could pull the brace off without having to undo it completely.

“Hold that” I tell him, and he grabs the frame while I remove the screws before flipping the brackets over. Once in place we turn the bed back the right way up. My father starts pulling the bed slats  out  of their bindings when I hear feet in the hallway.

Looking up, I see Jonah rubbing his eyes and standing in the doorway.

“Hey little man” Dad  says to him and Jonah looks at him.

“What are you doing?” He asks before looking at me kneeling beside the bed. His little eyes light up at the race car bed.

“We are putting your bed together that pop brought you” I tell him.
