Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Chapter 204 

Sage POV 

It had been two days since Dominic’s funeral and Jonah had barely said a wordt o us. Something was bothering him and h e wouldn’t tell us what it was, but I didn’t have time to ask him this morning. Kat had come over in a rush this morning. They had called her to the courts along with her mates, and Marge was away in the city for some function she was invited to. Andrei was feeding Marabella some custard. I watched as he pulled funny faces as he scooped the spoon into her mouth. His lips appeared to be mimicking hers like him opening his mouth would somehow convince her to do it.

Marabella, however, stares at him with wide eyes like she wasn’t sure of the faces he was pulling, or maybe she thought he looked like an idiot. Eziah had made a mess with his custard as he smeared it all over the highchair. Cackling his head off. Getting up, I grab a washcloth to wash the boy down. Jonah was playing with his custard berries, moving it around the bowl but not eating any of it.

“Ah Ah Marabella, e will do it,” Andrei tells her as she tries to grab the spoon with her mittened hand. I frown, how was she supposed to learn these things if she always had gloves or mittens on. It saddened me that she was so restricted in a world that already had so many restrictions. She was a baby and she should be allowed to make a mess and play with her food.

“I know what you are thinking,” Andrei says, making me look at him.

“Kat worries over the same thing, her being normal when she can’t even do the simplest things herself at this age,” He says, spooning more into her mouth and she blows a raspberry spraying custard all over his face.

I try to stifle my laugh. Jonah doesn’t bother as he snorts, giggling. Marabella cackles loudly while Andrei wipes his face that was covered in custard.

“You think that is funny?” Andrei asks Jonah, who just laughs harder when Andrei grabs him and wipes his face on his neck and all over Jonah’s face. He paws at Andrei’s face, laughing harder when Andrei’s stubble tickles him,

Marabella opens hebuth. Andrei notices and goes to snatch his hand away from her open mouth when Jonah sticks his tongue out. Marabella copies him and he drops the berry on her little tongue.

“Good girl, what about this one?” Jonah asks, holding up a raspberry. He waits for her to finish eating and Andrei looks over his shoulder at me and raises an eyebrow. I watch them together and he repeats the same thing with the raspberry, biting it in half and giving her one half of the small berry.

It was odd to watch, and I almost got the feeling Marabella knew she could hurt him and didn’t want to. She always waited for him to drop it on the tip of her tongue. I shake my head at the insanity; she is a baby, her understanding couldn’t be that good yet.

Suddenly the Mindlink opens up, and I hear Zane’s voice reach out to Andrei and

“We have company, I think it’s Lucas,” Zane says and Andrei pats Jonah’s leg so h e could get up. Jonah moves into Andrei’s seat while Andrei walks to the door.

“There is my smiling boy,” Andrei tells him, plopping Jonah on his lap.

“Now if she does it again, you will be covered in it too,” Andrei tells him. Jonah reaches for his bowl and Andrei passes it t o him while I walk around the counter toward Eziah, who was having a mighty time using his fingers to scribble in the mess he made.

“Cheeky boy,” I tell him, wiping the table and cleaning his hands and face. I let Eziah out of his seat and placed him on the ground. He was such a cheerful boy and instantly reached for Jonah’s dinosaur before banging it on the ground. Turning back around, Jonah was finally eating, but Marabella gripped the edge of her highchair with her mitten’d hands to pull herself forward to see what he was doing. Jonah looks up at her.

“Want to try this one?” He asks, holding u p a blueberry.

“She may choke, they need to be cut,”I tell Jonah when he suddenly bites half of the small blue berry and before Andrei could stop him he places it to her lips. Marabella opens her mouth. Andrei

“Yep, Lucas and Kyan,” Zane confirms.

“Jonah, kyan is here,” I tell him and he looks over at me before looking at Marabella

“Want to play with Kyan?” Jonah asks her, and she claps her hand mumbling to herself or trying to speak. That was the other thing that bothered me.

Eziah could already say a handful of words, while Marabella, I never heard her say anything. She was a quiet child. Except when Jonah was near. I go grab her out of her highchair and Jonah rushes to the front door when he hears voices.” Kyan!” Jonah exclaims loudly.

Scooping up Eziah and walking out to greet Lucas, one kid on each hip. Kyan was showing Jonah something on his tablet and they head to the living room when Kyan looks up.

“Hi, Luna” His words die out when he spots the two kids in my arms and his eyes glare at Marabella.

“Are you ok Kyan?” I ask him, propping Marabella higher on my hip. He snaps out of whatever came over him and he looks a

Lme.

“I am fine Luna Sage,” He says before tugging Jonah into the living room.

“Sorry, he sometimes gets in a weird mood,”

“He is fine. I will just set these two little ones down with the boys for a few minutes while I put the kettle on,” I tell them.

Andrei shuts the door and I place the kids i n the sectioned off playpen that goes around the couch the two boys were sitting on. I place them both on the mat with their toys.

“Jonah sing out if they need me, and don’t take off Marabella’s gloves” I warn him giving him a stern look, he always took them off her though she has never hurt him it still made my stomach knot knowing she could kill him with just a touch. I quickly made coffee for Lucas and Andrei, and seemed to get along pretty well.

Lucas had called a few times since the funeral and they seemed to become pretty good friends, though Lucas rang Andrei the other day about something to do with

the other day about mething to do with work when they were suddenly talking about the kids and seem to speak each day now. It was good to see Andrei actually be friends with someone outside the pack and Lucas actually got on well with all our pack members.

I listen while they chat and hold up the sugar to Lucas and he holds up two fingers and I nod, placing two teaspoons i n his coffee.

“I actually wanted to ask you something but thought it better in person,” Lucas tells Andrei as I hand him his coffee.

“What is that?” Andrei asks him, sipping his own coffee while I go retrieve my own.
