Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 202

Katya POV

People were dead on the ground everywhere as I dropped back into the middle of a war zone.

Trained rogue fighters attacking and Andrei’s pack is equally as efficient but lacking the numbers. I recognise  Dominic’s  men  instantly  by the sheer size of them,  and how effective  they were. They didn’t flinch and fought like they were training for this day all their lives.

I turn around watching the carnage when I see Mateo,  he  runs toward the packhouse   and it was like time slowed down when I heard Andrei scream for Sage, who was also running toward the packhouse ahead of him, Mateo not far behind her. So much going on it was hard to keep track of as I turned to see Andrei screaming and running straight toward me, and I gasped.

This was  the vision, I was reliving it  but in real time as deja vu washes over me and I duck as a rogue jumps toward me.  Dominic  punches it out of my way as I clutch Eziah to my chest. I feel the ground vibrate, heat makes the air warmer as the packhouse explodes.

I cover my ears not expecting the blast only to be tossed backwards into the dirt, Eziah still out cold but on my chest. Sitting up, my heart thumps against my chest when I see bodies scattered everywhere, dazed I look around . Andrei is clutching Sage in his hands as everyone rushes toward the burning destruction of the packhouse, digging through the debris and that’s when I notice Mateo lying dead not far from Andrei.

Ezra frantically tries to revive his charred and burnt body. My stomach twists as I look around praying this was a figment of my imagination  only I knew  it was real, very real. Hearing a growl behind me I turned to see him.

His figure was imposing as he clapped his hands. He laughs maniacally and rubs his hands together, black mist spreading across his body, his shirt had been torn off in the fray revealing tattoo’s that shimmered and rippled and swirled across his body, making me realise they weren’t tattoo’s but the markings of his magic. An army of shifted wolves behind him when I hear shifting and menacing growls only to see Donnie and Maddox had taken over in their grief.

Dominic smiles cruelly and raises his hand in the air. His eyes pitch black and I see the rogues backing up, the fear on their faces. Goosebumps rose on my flesh and I could see the darkness taking Dominic  over  as  his magic  rippled over his men, firing   them up as they growled and snarled, hackled up and wanting blood.

The wolves behind him growling and snapping their jaws. Dominic drops his arms and rolls his hands around making a black sphere of his magic with them.

The menacing look of red eyes chills me to the bone, as I look at his men, their bodies transforming and growing larger. Dark mist envelopes his hands spreading out over the wolves behind him, turning them into rabid beasts with blood red eyes.

“Kill them all” He says and the wolves start charging toward me where I was standing watching all this play out. I scream seeing Donnie and Maddox running into the fray. They start ripping into  the   rogues,  tearing them literally  limb from limb when Dominic’s eyes focus and I watch him use his powers like some dark angel out for revenge. He walks around the carnage like it couldn’t touch him and I turn to the packhouse. Mateo lay motionless on the ground and I ran over to him.

Shaking him, but   getting no response, my mark burning and I could feel the bond severing, like recognising his death somehow brought the pain forward, making me clutch my chest.

The vision Seline showed me came to the forefront of my mind, I could see it clear  as  day as I watched my kids play. I thought the decision was when we had the war with Jackson’s pack but  now I realize without a doubt it was now. It was never then, but now as I turn looking over at Sage’s dead body on the ground. She is drenched in blood, her skin grey and my eyes burn at the sight of her.

Seline’s voice booming through my head, her words on repeat. “Always choose the mate bond, choose your mates over everything” She said and I blink back tears, choosing Mateo would save our family, but that meant destroying Andrei’s. I choke back a sob.

I  knew it  was selfish but   I couldn’t live without him, I couldn’t live without my mate, couldn’t live with Ezra hating me, I couldn’t live with the guilt that he wouldn’t be able to watch his children grow.

Leaning down, tears stream down my cheeks knowing Andrei would hate me, knowing I was choosing my mate over Sage as I press my lips to Mateo’s. Warmth moves through me and everything I love about him rushed to the surface. As my magic flared to life and a sob broke past my  lips. Everything falling quiet  around me  as I pulled him back, pulled him to me when he gasps, sucking in a deep breath.

He looks around frantically, clutching his chest before his eyes fall on me, he clutches my face and I could hear the fighting slowing down.

“You’re ok, we are okay?” Mateo whispers, pulling me to him when he gasps.

“Jonah, Kyan, they are in the house” he says and I snap my head back.

“What?” I shriek, my head snapping in the direction of the packhouse.

“The children” I scream and Dominic looks over at me and I shove Eziah in Mateo’s arms before rushing over and ripping through the rubble of what’s left, the house reduced to concrete rubble.

“Kyan?” Dominic yells, his magic dropping and he rushes over to me.

“Move!” He says and I step back. He raises his hands and I could feel the energy rushing off him, physically feel it as he started flinging concrete like it weighed nothing, the shadows lifting the debris and moving them off the side when I spot my  father. Mateo rushed  over helping me drag him out with his free hand that wasn’t  clutching  Eziah. I could  see Ezra and Andrei taking down the last few rogues. The ground was completely drenched in blood.

People were injured  everywhere  and I hear my father coughing. His legs were crushed and he had a piece of rebar  through his stomach. I move to his side.
