Fated To The Alpha

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 196

Monday

Andrei left early once again, I wished Derrick was back, I would felt more at ease knowing his father was with him and would have his back. Derrick rang earlier and said he would be over tomorrow before Dominic gets here with Kat and the kids.

Andrei was excited when I told him when he rang around lunch time, he rang to tell me he was still with the rogue camp and they had a run in with another camp, which turned out to be one of the rogue camps Jackson worked with when they had the pack wars. They weren’t happy that Andrei was wanting to initiate the rogue camp.

Staking some claim to them, saying the women were their workers which sickened me knowing this rogue camp was whoring out the woman in return for safety from the very rogue pack that was selling them. The last time I heard from them was just  after dinner time when I was getting Jonah ready for his bath. Clay, one of Andrei’s warriors, mindlinked me and said they were fine and that Andrei  attacked  the leader of  the all male rogue camp, but was fine and that only one of the warriors got injured but was already healing.

They had plans to move the camp and bring them here during the week once they organised transportation to get everyone here and we also had to sort  out  where to put   them, we had 11 vacant places which today, Malik and Zane spent most of the day with me and Nora setting up bunk beds in all the rooms to place everyone until they could order more kit homes to be built. From my understanding  Andrei’s pack  was one of the biggest ones next to Jackson’s old pack before the war and Andrei was shocked to learn that a few of those in the rogue camp were from Jackson pack originally, but fled before the war with Kat’s pack.

Malik and Zane told me that Andrie had been sending supply trucks out to the rogue camp since he found it when they went looking for information about Jonah. I was a little shocked he was able to hide it so well because I had no idea about it. I wasn’t sure if it was his guilty conscience mixed with Jonah’s arrival but I was glad to see the changes and he seemed happier within himself. I just wished he told me but I also understood  why he kept it between his father, Zane, and Malik. He didn’t want to get the pack’s hopes  up if  he couldn’t handle  it and ended up killing them.

I  had just hopped out of the shower and was getting ready for bed but once again that restless feeling rushed over me. Walking into the hall with  just my towel on I listen for noise. I don’t understand  what  it  was, I just  couldn’t shake it. Checking on Jonah he was still fast asleep in his bed. I quickly checked the security cameras but also nothing. Going back to the room I chuck on my Pajamas, the unsettling feeling easing off and I was anxious for Andrei to return home.

“Now I am bored” I mutter while digging through the pile of books on the nightstand I had read repeatedly since being here.

“You could always talk to me,” Sierra says. “It’s not the same, I want my mate”

“Yeah,  but  better  then nothing”  She   says, while yawning. She wanted  to  shift, we  hadn’t  in so long  and it  was  quite a nice night, the sky clear and the breeze warm.

“I know, I can ask Malik to come watch Jonah, or Casen” I  tell  her feeling her itching  to  go  for a run despite being exhausted.

“Please”  She  groans and I  chuckle. With everything going on, shifting was far from my mind. Sierra was not willing to ask, thinking she was adding to my stress levels. Opening the mindlink I search for Malik and Casen’s tether.

Both of them answered at the same time. “Everything alright”

“Yes, I am fine. Can one you come and watch Jonah for  me while I go  for a run? ”   I  ask them.

“I will, Malik can go for a run with you” Casen says.

“No, I will be fine by myself. I will stay within the borders” I tell them.

“Luna, Andrei won’t like you running through the forest on your own, ” Malik says.

“I know, but no need for everyone to get up, I have the mindlink and I will remain close”

“I  don’t mind coming  with you” Malik  says. “It isn’t necessary, I will see you soon, Casen.

Jonah is asleep so you can do what you want, I just don’t want him to  wake  up while I am gone and no one be here, he has been having night terrors”

“On my  way” He replies and  I cut  the link. Walking into the closet, I grab a thin dress and remove my clothes, slipping it on before heading back downstairs and opening the door. Casen was walking across the grass toward me as I stepped out.

“Luna” He says, pecking my cheek on his way past.

“The TV remote is on the mantle” I tell him.

“Have fun and yes I will lock the door” He says smiling at me as he closes it. I start walking to the side of  the house when   I  notice Malik sitting on the front steps. I roll my eyes knowing he wouldn’t be going back in until I returned, walking around the side I also found Zane laying on the grass on his back.

“Really?” I ask him.

“You are our Luna, if you think we will let you roam the forest without anyone out here you are mistaken”

“The border patrols are on, I don’t need babysitting” I tell him.

“Yes, they are but  we  have still been getting rogue   scouts along the  borders.   It isn’t safe by yourself,   since you won’t let any of us come with you, we will remain close enough in case we need to get to you” Zane says.

“I feel bad though, I will just wait  and make Andrei  take me tomorrow” I tell him and Sierra whines loudly.

watched. I could hear fighting in the forest,   yet every noise had us turning and I  got the feeling there was more than one rogue in this grass.   When  a warm  gust  of wind  flattened   the grass, I see the reflection of two sets of  eyes looking back at us, hunched low to the ground when I hear savage growls just as teeth sink into our side. Sierra whimpers trying to get the wolf off as it perches on our back. Its teeth ripping into our side when the other two jump us, teeth and claws ripping us to pieces.
