Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Chapter 208 Sage POV

Squinting at the bright light filtering in through the window, I rub my eyes, and a shiver runs up my spine as the tingling sensation from the mate bond ripples through me. I could feel Andrei hovering over the top of me, his tongue running across my ribs to the side of my breast. M y back arched at the sensation as his hot tongue moved across my body, his fingers pressing against my skin firmly as he maneuvered me. 

When his hand grips my elbow, I watch, amused; he forces my arm above my head. His tongue ran across the inside of my arm from my elbow to just below my armpit. I ran my fingers through his hair, trying to get his attention as he hadn’t seemed to realize I was awake now. My fingers run through his thick locks, and h e jumps, confirming my assumption that h e hadn’t realized I was awake, 

His voice could not be confused for anything other than Donnie’s. His bice was raspier and deeper than Andrei’s as h e pulled back, looking down at me; his 

e pulled back, loog down at me, his knee pressing between my thighs against my aching core made me hiss. 

“You’re awake. Sorry I was trying to be gentle,” He growls, his blackened eyes watching me, while his hands gently caress my skin, patting me like I am his pet. 

“Morning, Donnie.” I hissed while trying to sit up, but Donnie wouldn’t move as h e hovered above me, his body pressing mine back down into the bed. Every muscle aches, and I am aware of the moist feeling of the sheets under me, and the scent of blood in the air. 

“Lay down,” he purrs, and I groan but do as he asks, loving the rumble vibrating from his chest. Donnie continued fussing and petting my hair after a while. I knew I had to get up, and I tried to roll to get out from under him. The once white sheets are a deep shade of pink and dark red. 

“I have to get Jonah,” I tell him, but he shakes his head, pushing my shoulder back down and not allowing me to get up, 

“You should rest,” He says, and my brows bunch together at his insistence, 

“Where is Andrei? Did you block him out? “I ask Donnie, but he shakes his head before dipping his face into my neck. Andrei’s stubble scratching against my skin makes me hiss and shiver. My skin is burning and tingling at the same time when I feel Donnie’s tongue run up my neck to my chin and shut my eyes, just giving in and letting him do whatever the heck he is doing-trying not to think of the throbbing in my core every time he pressed against me. I was sore, everything sore and stinging. 

“Better?” Donnie mumbles against my lips before licking them. I chuckle at his odd behavior. 

“Yes, so you can stop licking me now,” I tell him, wanting to find Jonah. Sierra was sluggish as she pressed forward to peer out my eyes, before she growled, annoyed at something 

“Ah, he is still trying to heal us; he bloody makes me feel weaker exerting his energy, We are bloody fine,” Sierra growls in my head. I sigh, pushing Andrei’s face away and Sierra wanders off where I couldn’t reach her to rest. 

Donnie kisses the inside of my palm when I try to push his face away again. “Bring Andrei back, Donnie; Sierra wants you to stop. You’re making her tired,” I tell him, and he whines, making me shake my head; seeing Andrei act like a puppy more than a human was rather entertaining, he exhales before pecking my lips quickly, and I watch as his eyes fade from the black abyss to Andrei’s hypnotic gaze. His entire body shudders, making me wonder how long Donnie has had control. 

“Morning, Love,” He says, pushing his arm under my waist and rolling off me onto his back. Andrei pulls me on top of him, his arm remaining draped across my lower back 

“Donnie, lock you out,” I ask him, sitting up and making his arm fall off my back as I straddle him. 

He lifts his head and places his arm behind his head as he stares up at me. “N 0, I gave him control; you were pretty banged up.” 

Looking down, I take in the bloodstained sheets. “If it makes you feel any better, half of it’s mine,” He says, and I look 

half of it’s mine,” H ays, and I look down at him, finally noticing the scars that littered his chest and arms. Were they from me? Andrei chuckles at the horrified look on my face, and my face flushes at what I did to him. 

“Stop, I am fine. I wasn’t complaining, but Donnie healing you, stopped my healing. I am fine, and I don’t mind wearing your marks,” He says, running his hand up my thigh. 

“Though you may be sore for a few days,” He says, and I notice the purple blotches covering my skin; I could see complete outlines of his hands on my thighs, making me lift my arms to examine them. I raise an eyebrow at him. 

“Hey, you demanded harder. I gave you harder, don’t blame me,” Andrei says with a cheeky grin; I roll my eyes at him. 

“Jonah?” 

“With Malik, Zane dropped him to Malik this morning. I already checked in with  him”
