Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 28 Ezra POV I watched as Kat left, waiting to hear her walk up the stairs so she wasnât within earshot before turning to face my Beta, my best friend for my entire life. I was fuming, F*cking absolutely livid that he kissed her, I felt betrayed. I knew as soon as I kissed her, I could smell his scent in the side of her mouth, and smell him on her skin.
âLet me explain, Ezraâ Mateo says as I turn to face him, he steps back and I could feel Maddox pressing against my skin.
âWhy?â Is all I ask, unable to make words as I thought of attacking him.
âI didnât mean to, she hurt herself and I was carrying her. I donât know why I did it, please try and understand I know I F*cked up it was accidentâ
âYou accidentally kissed her?â I ask, feeling my hands trembling, I ball them into fists at my side trying to fight the urge to punch him.
âItâs not like that, I know she is yours. It just happened, she didnât seem to think anything of it, I swear Ezra I didnât mean to kiss herâ he says.
âDo I need to be worried about this, do I need to be worried about you being around her?â I ask him. I felt hurt, he was my best friend. He knows how long I have waited to find her and then he does this.
âNo, it wonât happen again. It was just a slip up, you know me Ezra. I would never do anything to deliberately hurt youâ I feel some of the tension leave at his words. I knew he wouldnât deliberately betray me, he was like a brother to me. We have been inseparable since we were babies.
âDo you have feelings for her?â I ask him and he seems to tense slightly.
âI know she is yours, I know she is your mateâ
âThatâs not what I askedâ I tell him and he looks away.
âYou do, donât you. You like her?â
âOf course, I liked her she is my Luna and your mateâ
âYou know what I mean, Mateoâ
He runs his hand through his hair before dragging it down his face.
âYes I like her, she is different from the others, she isnât power hungry and doesnât care for titles. What isnât there to like? But I wonât act on it. I know she is yoursâ
âYour right she is mine, so donât put me in a situation where I have to choose Mateoâ
âI will keep my distanceâ he says but I also knew he was Katâs only friend beside Jasmine. Kat was comfortable around him and I didnât want her to become between our friendship either. I had found myself in a crappy situation.
âWhat did she do when you kissed her?â I ask now worried she may have feelings for him too.
âNothing, she didnât react at all, I even told her I shouldnât have done it, she just seemed confused, she didnât understand why I was worried about itâ
âSo she didnât do anything?â
âNo, Ezra she thinks of me as a friend and thatâs itâ
âAnd you? What do you think of her?â I ask him.
âI think I F*cked up, okay thatâs why I told you. It wonât happen again, I know I have a mate out there somewhere, anything I feel for her will go once I find him or herâ I nod trying to think of what the right thing to do is. I couldnât force him out of her life, nor did I want to but another side was telling me to keep her away from him.
âDonât let it happen again, we have enough going on with Jacksonâs pack, I donât need to be worrying about you chasing after my mate when youâre the only one other than myself I trust to protect herâ I tell him. Mateo steps forward gripping my arms.
âIâm sorry, I wonât let it happen againâ he says and I nod. I feel my jaw clench and swallow back the urge to yell at him, to hurt him for what he did.
âYou can goâ I tell him and he nods letting me go. I watch as he leaves and I hear him leave the pack house.
Walking upstairs, I follow my mateâs scent to her room before knocking on the door, she opens it and before going back to the walk in.
âWhat have you lost?â I ask her.
âMy dressing gownâ she answers.
âI hung it up behind the door in the bathroomâ
She nods, grabbing her pajamas before walking down toward the bathroom.
âMy bathroom Katâ I tell her and she looks at me.
âYour bathroom?â
âYes Marge washed it for you and I put it in there, I thought you would come stay in my room from now onâ
âYou want me to stay with you?â She asks, confused. I could see the wheels turning in her head, trying to piece together my actions. I know she feels the bond but without a wolf confirming I am her mate, she is unsure what to make of the strange pull she has toward me.
âYou donât have toâ I tell her as she chews her fingernail.
âYou think thatâs a good idea?â She asks nervously, stepping toward me. I donât care if she doesnât get her wolf on Monday, either way I was telling her. It was beginning to kill me, her not knowing.
I tug her closer before gripping her chin and tipping her face up to me.
âI would like you too, but you donât have toâ I tell her, her being comfortable is all I care about, I donât like the idea of her feeling pressured to just because I am the Alpha, she gets enough pressure off her mother and everyone else she doesnât need it from me.
âYou can say no, I wonât be offendedâ I tell her.
âYou wonât be mad if I say no?â She asks.
âNo, itâs your choiceâ I tell her. She thinks for a second before standing on her tippy toes and kissing me. I liked that she was becoming more daring, more comfortable around me though if she calls me Alpha once more I may just lose it. I am not her Alpha and I never want her questioning whether or not she will anger me or need my permission to be who she is.
Though I do hope whatever she does want or wants to do she would tell me because she wants to not because she feels obligated to because of my title.
I let her kiss me, let her have control as her tongue hesitantly played with mine, I could see she was unsure though so a few seconds I kissed her back harder letting her know she can do what she wants with me. She presses closer, her hands going to my chest as she runs her small fingers through my chest hair, her hands moving to my shoulders before I pick her up. She wraps her legs around my waist pressing closer to me.
Fated To The Alpha ï¤Chapter 27 Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son ï¤Chapter 149: Epilogue âIs that a yes?â I ask her, squeezing her ass. Her face heats up, her cheeks becoming stained with her blush.
âI will as long as you want me toâ I pull away from her looking at her.
âNot if you donât want to Kat, I will back off if you tell me tooâ I tell her.
âNo I want to, I just meant as long as I am not annoying youâ she says and I press my head against her.
âYou could never annoy me, little one. I just want to make sure your comfortableâ
â And I am, I always feel funny around youâ She admits more to herself than me.
âFunny?â I ask, amused by her choice of wording.
âYeah all tinglyâ she says, making me smile. My mate was in for a surprise once she turns 18 then because that feeling is going to get a whole lot worse.
âYou make me tingle tooâ I chuckle at her and she slaps my arm.
âShower?â I ask her and she nods, and I turn toward our room, glad that she wants to stay with me.
