Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 158 Andrei goes to say something, when I hear a bang noise making not only me jump but Andrei.
âYou heard that right?â I ask, making sure I wasnât hearing things at the ass crack of dawn.
âYeah must be someone needing to speak to me, wait hereâ He says climbing off the bed. Yet why wouldnât they mindlink him, why bang on the door instead. I sit up watching him leave when the banging gets worse before I hear a manâs muffled voice yelling for help. I jump out of bed my heart pounding so loudly I could hear it, feel it in every pulse point.
âStay in the room, â Andrei says, closing the door, but I move anyway following him out.
âAre we under attack?â I ask him, suddenly petrified. Yet looking back in the room and out the windows I could see nothing, just the first glimmers of the sky changing to welcome the new day arriving.
âGo back to bed, I will be back in a minuteâ Andrei says but I clutch his arm not wanting to go without him when I hear another thump and Andrei growls frighteningly.
âThat sounded like it was coming from insideâ I whisper before stepping closer to the stairs, only for Andrei to pull me back, his behaviour seeming odd, if we were under attack why hadnât his alarms gone off?
âGo back to the room Sageâ Andrei says, pushing me toward it but I shake my head instead following him down the stairs when the manâs voice becomes louder and louder and I realize the noise was indeed coming from inside. I could barely make it out but it was coming from inside when I heard the bang again, my eyes darted to the basement door. My stomach sinks, and Andrei freezes on the top step.
âHave you got someone down there?â I ask him, though I knew the answer already by the man thumping on the steel door.
âGo back to the roomâ Andrei says walking down the steps and turning toward the basement door. I shake my head, refusing to.
âNo, what are you going to do?â I ask him, rushing down the steps after him.
âWhat I have to do, Sage. Now go back to the room?â
âYou canât kill him. Andreiâ I tell him. Andrei growls before turning on his heel and heading back toward the stairs but I run down them before he could reach them knowing he was intending on dragging me back to the room kicking and screaming. Feeling his annoyance through the bond.
âSage! â Andrei snaps, and my pulse quickens at the anger in his voice and Sierra lurches forward with me.
âSage just listen to him before you make him madâ âHe wonât hurt usâ I tell her ignoring her warning.
âYou donât know thatâ she retorts. Andrei angry was frightening and I nearly reconsidered running to the room as he stalked toward me, making me step back and suck in a sharp breath. My heart felt like it was doing backflips and my stomach dropped somewhere cold within me. I donât understand why I was suddenly standing here and arguing with him but the bond was telling me not to back down from him, though I was pretty sure I was about to wet my pants the closer he got when he stopped letting out a breath.
âHe is just rogue Sage, just go back to the room so I can deal with itâ
âI am a rogue Andreiâ I tell him my voice comes off stronger then I felt.
âItâs not the same thingâ
âIt is, you were a rogue once and shouldnât you feel compassion for them not a need to hurt themâ I ask him. The banging starts again, my eyes darting to the basement door nervously before he has a chance to answer, I dart past him to head for the door when Andrei grabs me around the waist, making me shriek when my feet leave the ground. Andrei starts walking towards the stairs dragging me with him.
âNo, you canât keep hurting them, why do you keep hurting themâ I scream at him before biting his arm trying to make him let go. He growls but doesnât let go when the front door is suddenly swung open and Zane runs in. He looks to us on the stairs while I struggle to get out of Andreiâs grip.
âAlpha, what areâ
âDEAL WITH HIM WHILE I DEAL WITH HERâ
Andrei yells at him, cutting him off. Zane hesitates before I watch him head toward the basement door.
âZane stop, donât hurt himâ I scream to him and he hesitates before Andrei growls at him and he yanks the door open. The frantic man barges past him heading for the open door trying to escape and I hoped Zane would just let him go when he got up chasing after the man who was n*ked.
âNo, Zane pleaseâ I beg Zane as Andrei gets to the top step. The man looked petrified and wasnât much older than us, how could they just want to kill him? He just wanted to escape, he wasnât trying to do anything wrong. I clutch the bannister, one of my fingernails tearing off before I urge Sierra to shift just as Zane tackles him. They hit the ground and struggle trying to get the upper hand over each other. I feel the shift start to take over letting me slip out of Andreiâs arms. He growls being forced to let go and I drop to the ground at his feet before feeling Sierra recede again. I try to get to my feet just as the man escapes Zane and makes a dash for the open door but Andrei moves at blinding speed and by the time I get to my feet Andrei was in front of him.
âNo Andrei justâ I look up just in time to see Andrei snap his neck, my scream cutting off as I watch him let the man go. The manâs body falls to the ground at his feet just as Zane pulls himself up upright.
âWhy? you didnât have to do thatâ I tell him tears burning my eyes as I rush toward the man. He was dead, his head twisted at an awkward angle, his frightened eyes peering up at me.
âYou didnât have to do that, how could you?â I sob, he was a monster. This was someoneâs son, someoneâs family and he snuffed his life out like it meant nothing at all.
Andrei grips my arm pulling me to my feet, while I try to shove him away.
âIt had to be done Sage, he is a rogue he would have went back to his camp and had them attack usâ
âYou donât know thatâ I tell him, anger seeping into my voice.
â I do know that-â He says as Zane approaches us.
âAlpha, I am sorry, I thought I tied him down well enoughâ
âYou f*cking thought wrong didnât you?â Andrei bellows at him and Zane flinches and so do I.
âGet out and take him with youâ Andrei says, his grip unwavering on my arm as he starts walking toward the stairs.
Sierra was howling in my head at what we just witnessed and I canât believe I was going to let him mark me. Canât believe I thought I could be safe with him when he was clearly a monster.
âLet me go,â I tell him, shaking my arm trying to get out of his grip.
âSage enough, he is nobodyâ Andrei snarls at me. âThen so am Iâ I snap back at him.
âNo, you are my mate, you should be on my side here, not some rogueâs, mine!â
âHe was trying to leave, he wasnât attacking anybody Andrei, why canât you see that?â I yell at him.
âHe is a rogue, they want our pack, why canât you see that?â He asks.
Fated To The Alpha ï¤Chapter 157 Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son ï¤Chapter 149: Epilogue âNo, they just want a chance, but youâre right, I do see now, I see youâre a f*cking monsterâ I scream at him, my voice breaking and becoming raspy from yelling at him and leaving me out of breath. He growls yanking me toward him and I whimper at his tight grip, his claws sinking into my arm when he lets go suddenly and I feel guilt smash into me from the bond.
He looks at my arm stepping toward me but I pull away from him and he hangs his head. My heart is pumping so hard I was sure at any second I was going to have a heart attack with the adrenaline coursing through my veins. Andrei turns on his heel walking back down the steps heading for the door and grabbing it, as Zane goes to close it behind him leaving me standing on the stairs. The door slams and my legs give way from under me.
Anger and sadness crushed me at how cold and cruel he could be, the image of the mains vacant eyes forever burned in my memories.
âNow what do we do?â Sierra asks me.
âI donât know,â I tell her.
âHis dad will be here today, maybe we ask him. He seems nice, maybe he can help usâ Sierra suggests.
