Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 131 Andrei POV Kat managed to talk to her but she shifted back to her wolf before I could even see or talk to her. Kat then bitched me out for putting a muzzle on her and I suddenly felt ashamed at what I did. I knew it was wrong but I didnât have much choice and unless I forcefully marked her to get her in the house. Being a rogue I have no command over her, yet Kat did which I wasnât sure she would. But I felt relief knowing Kat being the Queen of Alphaâs had influence over all wolves, not just pack wolves.
Kat brushes my mates fur at least I had her name that was one thing I guess. She then stands and comes and gives me a hug and I walk her to the door and unlock it. I turn to see if Sage was going to run for the door but she just sat on her hind legs shaking like a leaf. I could smell she was scared of Kat leaving her with me.
âCan you make her shift back, maybe command herâ I ask Kat and I hear Sage whimper behind me, I look over my shoulder and she presses herself against the wall like she could get it to swallow her and save her.
âYou want her to shift back she has to do it on her own, I wonât force herâ
âHow am I meant to communicate with her when her wolf wonât even reply to Donnie in that formâ
âFigure it out, Andrei I am not forcing herâ
âYou canât be serious, what am I supposed to sign to her or something come one kat that is ridiculousâ
âShe feels safer in that form, she doesnât know you and she doesnât trust you yetâ Kat says standing in the doorway. It was making me nervous having the door open because I knew if she ran Kat would order me to let her leave.
I growl when I suddenly hear Kat voice in my head as she forced the link, I couldnât force the link to her yet it always spun me out when she did it to me, perks of being a Queen.
âShe knows you canât mate with her in that form Andrei, I can guarantee if you shifted she would shift to her human formâ She says her eyes pinning me on the spot.
âWhy?â I ask her.
â She watched her parents and her mate die at the hands of the rogues that had her, she has been on that damn chain before she shifted, since she was kid Andrei, her shifting between forms was her only way to stop them raping her, yet even that didnât stop from beating her into submissionâ Kat snaps at me. A growl tears out of me and my hands clench at her words, my Alpha aura forcing its way out in pure rage at her words.
Hearing a yelp I look over at Sage and I realise I scared her.
â Shh, he wonât hurt you Sage, I promise he wasnât mad at youâ Kat tells her yet she still remains tense. She must have said something to Kat because Kat nods to her before glaring at me.
âGive me the muzzle,â She says, holding out her hand. I groan but retrieve it and hand it to her.
âThis the only one you have?â She commands and I press my lips in a line before stalking off toward the basement door. I unlock it. The basement smelt heavily of bleach and I pull the door closed behind me not wanting to kat to see what is down here in my torture chamber. Going over to the wall I grab the four other muzzles before stomping back up the steps and opening the door.
Sage backs away from me, her eyes on the muzzles in my hand. I walk over and hand them to Kat.
âSee no more muzzles, but donât bite meâ I tell Sage and she whines looking at Kat. I could see she wanted to go with her.
âHave you got any she-wolves that would come stay for a night or two?â I ask her not liking the idea but if it means I can get her to shift back even long enough to speak with her. Kat thinks before looking at Sage.
âWould you feel better if I had someone come over tomorrow to stay here, a woman maybe â I had no idea what sage said to her but Kat nodded.
âYou can stay tonight by yourself, I will have to organise someoneâ
âMaybe one of the older members, a motherly figureâ Mateo suggests to her. Kat nods to him.
âI will send someone tomorrow okay, I promise if I canât find someone â She looks at me for a second and I sigh.
âIf she canât find someone we can go stay with Katâ I tell Sage not really wanting to but I would if I have to.
âDid she reply, what did she say?â I ask kat, this non-communication thing was going to drive me nuts.
âShe just asked if it was only one night she would be by herselfâ Kat tells me. I fight the urge to growl at her wanting to be away from me, instead biting my tongue. I nod to Kat before watching her leave and I close the door behind her. Turning around I find Sage frozen to the spot, her eyes on the door.
Ignoring her potent fear filling the room I walk past her toward the kitchen, ignoring the way she recoiled. I start cook dinner, throwing together a lasagne. I placed it in the oven before stacking the dishwasher and I could hear her walking around upstairs. When I am done I mindlink Zane to come over. He was at my door after a few minutes and I heard the knocking. Opening the door, I let him in. Sage must be hiding somewhere but I knew she couldnât get out.
âCan do me a favour and run into town for me, you can take my carâ I ask him not really wanting to leave my mate here alone.
âSure, what do you need?â
âClothes for herâ
âWhat size?â He asks and I scratch the back of my neck. I had no idea what size, but she wasnât very big from what I could see when she was crouched next to Kat. I could see all her ribs and her spine.
âWait hereâ I tell him, walking up the steps to see if I could find her and get her to tell me what size clothes she wore.
âSage?â I call out to her, she doesnât make a sound and I am forced to follow her scent. Walking into the spare bedroom I find her wolf under the bed.
She growls her cerulean blue eyes peering back at me as I got on all fours and looked under the bed.
âDo you know what clothes size you are?â I ask her. She just stares, she should be able to mindlink me being I am her mate yet she remain silent.
Just stares at me. I sigh getting up and heading for the door when Donnie speaks.
âExtra small she thinksâ I stop.
â Sage spoke to you?â I ask him but he shakes his head.
âNo Seirra her wolf told me, her human is angry she told youâ I nod leaving her be and going downstairs.
âSize?â
âExtra small and grabs some in small just incase, make sure they are warm tooâ I tell him before handing him my wallet.
âAnything else?â
âUm hair ties and a brush, I donât know girlie shit I guessâ I tell him.
âThis would be so much easier if there was some women hereâ He mutters, I pretend to not notice but I knew my men were lonely.
âYou will find your mateâ I tell him and he nods before I open the door letting him out.
âHopefully those that lost theirs get a second chance tooâ He says and I nod, I hope the same thing.
Closing the door I head upstairs hoping her wolf may speak some more. I grab some towels and some of my clothes, she will have to roll the pants to hold them up if she decides to shift back. Walking into the bathroom I set them on the basin before walking into the spare room.
âZane has gone to get you some clothes, you can shower if you want. I put some clothes in the bathroom and you can lock the door, I mean it Sage I wonât hurt youâ I tell her.
She doesnât move and I walk out heading back downstairs. I sit in the living room turning the TV on and watching the news while I wait for dinner to cook. After about 2o minutes I hear the bathroom door close, but when 1o minutes pass and I donât hear the shower running I walk up the steps. I stop at the bathroom door and knock on it.
Sage POV That woman said he wouldnât hurt me,Sierra wanted to take him up on the offer to shower, mainly she wanted a rest of being in this form constantly. I try to take back control as she comes out from under the bed. She pops her head out the bedroom door looking toward the stairs yet I could hear the TV was on downstairs and I couldnât see him anywhere.
â Sierra, go backâ I tell her when she steps into the hall.
âI donât think he is like themâ Sierra tells me.
âWe donât even know him, stop being blinded by the bondâ I tell her but she ignores me instead suddenly shifting back and retreating, her voice a soft murmur in my head.
âWe can shift back if he tries anythingâ She tells me but I was too busy making a dash for the bathroom, my breathing heavy as I closed the door locking it. Goosebumps rise on my arms, my skin exposed to the air, making me cold.
I stared at the door wondering if he would come in, the thought petrified me. My heart is racing in my chest. I wait a few seconds before looking around the bathroom. I found some clothes on the basin and two towels along with some socks. Turning, I looked at the shower yet it didnât have any taps to turn it on. The bathroom was nice and very clean, I could smell the cleaning chemicals like it had recently been cleaned, it smelt the same as the basement and made my nose burn and eyes water from the toxic scent.
I wave my hand under the shower head, before turning it. âHow does it work?â I asked Sierra before feeling her peer out, she seemed just as confused.
Hearing footsteps I tense before hearing a knock on the door. âLet me shiftâ I tell Sierra but she shake her head. Has she already forgotten what they have done to us, how could she leave me vulnerable in this form.
âThere is a door separating you, and if he wanted to get in he wouldnât have knockedâ My wolf tells me. I think for a second she did have a point. He knocks again.
âAnswer himâ My wolf urges.
âSage is everything okay?â Andrei asks, everything slows down except the fast fluttering of my heart as panic takes over. My arms and legs feel like dead weight.
âSage?â he asks again. I grip the door handle to make sure it is locked, the knob rattling in my shaky hands yet it was still locked.
âI canât turn it onâ I tell him though my voice sounded so small I wasnât sure if he heard.
âNext to the light switch is a black panel, tap on itâ he says, I look for the black panel he mentioned and find it. I tap on it, my fingers shaking uncontrollably.
âYou find it?â He asks, I nod before realising he couldnât see me.
âYesâ I tell him.
âThere is a circle with a line through it, press it and a shower head will pop up on the screen then press on it, the water should be at the correct temperatureâ He explains. I do what he says before hearing the spray shoot out of the shower head.
âI will be downstairs. I put an extra toothbrush in the shower niche already, come down when you are done for Tea please â He says and I hear him walk off. I place my hand under the water and find the temperature good like he said before stepping under the spray.
I sigh feeling the hot water, so much better than the streams and creeks. I grabbed the soap and lather my skin, the water turning brown as it ran down the drain, my hair was a matted mess and took three washes before it was somewhat clean looking. I brushed my teeth and just stood under the water enjoying the warmth and the feel of being clean. My neck was still aching, and I donât think it would ever stop from having the chain so tight against my flesh for the last 11 years. I rubbed it and despite spending most of my time in wolf form I could feel the ridges in my skin from where it sat pressed against my skin.
Getting out I rub a hand over the large mirror. My hair was still knotted and I couldnât find a brush anywhere so I tried to untangle it with my fingers but gave up. I looked different, I canât remember the last time I looked in a mirror, probably before they took us. I looked like my mother or I think I did, my memory of her was a little grainy these days. Felt like a lifetime ago that she was here.
Staring at the scar that ran the length of my face, it marred one side of my face. I could still feel the heat in the blade as he held it over the fire before dragging the blade down my face as he tried to get my mother to shift back. Looking away I try to shove the memory away and turn toward the edge of the sink basin. I pick up the clothes he left, I sniff them and can smell his scent all over them. I dry myself, my fingers trailing over my ruined body, no that I was clean there wasnât many parts of me that werenât scarred or disfigured in some way.
âDonât look, â Sierra tells me.
âHow can I not, look at themâ I tell her.
âEveryone has a past, ours just shows on our skinâ
âItâs not the past, we are still in the same mess with a new monsterâ I tell her but she shakes her head.
âWe donât know thatâ She says as I pull the shirt over my head. I then grab the pants and socks, putting them on only for the pants to fall to my feet the moment I stand up straight. I even tried to roll them but they were massive on my frame.
âWe can walk around like this Sierra let me shift back please â I beg her tears brimming in my eyes knowing I would be pantsless with them falling down.
âNo, Sage. I am tired. I need to rest please. If he tries anything I will shift but until then just see what happens. His wolf is nice, I donât think he is like the other menâ She says.
It was hopeless she wasnât going to help until he was trying to kill me. I feel anger at her simmer within me as I reach for the door handle and open the door.
âSomething smells nice, better than the rodents we usually eatâ She says, how could she trust him so blindly, she was acting like a love sick pup, how could she forget he is a man?
I feel her urging me toward the stairs and I look over the bannister but donât see him. Clutching the pants to hold them up I walk down the steps. The T V was still on and the soft murmurs of voices filled the living room. I stick my head around the corner to see if he is in the huge room. He wasnât in there, turning around I found him directly behind me though he didnât move and I nearly had a heart attack. He moved that silently I didnât hear him come up behind me.
âI sent someone to get you some clothes, come tea is readyâ He says before suddenly turning away and walking off.
âSee he could have killed you before you even noticed, he didnât maybe he isnât that badâ
âThatâs what mum and dad thought when they let those three men in our camp, look how that turned out they are dead and I am aloneâ I tell her. Yet she didnât agree, following the smell of what he was cooking. I step into the kitchen, he was bending over and getting something out of the oven.
âThere are drinks in the fridge if youâre thirstyâ He says though he keeps his back to me. That kind of irritated me because that meant he knew I was no threat to him. I was no threat to anyone and he knew. I would never turn my back to anyone. No one can be trusted.
âYou can sit down,â He says, turning around to face me. His eyes dart down to where I am clutching his pants trying to keep them up.
âSit please, talk, anything instead of staring at me like I am about to kill youâ He says pointing to the dining table. I walked over to it sitting down in the chair that faced him.
âHow old are you?â He asks, grabbing some plates done from the cupboards.
âItâs your age, canât hurt you by asking questionsâ He mutters but I still heard him.
â23 I thinkâ I tell him and he nods.
â Iâm 28â he tells me. I nod, was I supposed to care about age, was that something that was important?
âYou had a mate?â He asks. Barely I thought to myself, that was over as quick as I met him. I say nothing.
âHow long were you with those..... Peopleâ He finally finishes before looking at me.
âToo longâ I tell him, looking out the windows. I tried them already. They have no opening and are perspex.
âWhy donât you have windows?â I ask him and his eyes dart to them.
âSo people canât get inâ
âOr outâ I mutter under my breath.
âThat is the other reason, but my last mate was killed because people got in the house, so I built this place. It is saferâ He says before suddenly walking over toward me. I jump up the chair falling and hitting the ground behind me.
âUmâ He clears his throat, his head turning upwards.
âYour pantsâ He says and I look down before scrambling to get them up my legs. I move grabbing the fallen chair.
Fated To The Alpha ï¤Chapter 130 Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son ï¤Chapter 149: Epilogue âI wonât hurt you, here eatâ He says, sliding a plate over to me. He places his down before moving to the fridge and opening it. He grabs something before turning around and handing me a bottle of water. He waves it at me and I take it quickly.
I watch as he sits down before doing the same.
