Fated To The Alpha

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 152

Andrei POV

It was a nice day today as I helped Ezra start the barbeque. I started chopping onions while he cooked when Mateo and my father walked out to join us with beers in their hands. My father offers me one but I shake my head.

“Can’t I have to drive ” I tell him and he shrugs before sitting at the outside table next to where I was chopping onions.

“Sage is quiet” He says and I look over at him. “Yeah she isn’t used to people” I tell him.

“Is she adjusting ok, Kat said she was scared of you, she seems fine around you now?” My father asks and I bite my tongue to stop from snapping at him. I would happily talk about anything with him but her and our relationship, though when Ezra asked I knew I had no choice but to answer, they seemed to have a keen interest for some reason that unnerved me.

“Yes, she let me sleep in the bed with her the last few nights, she marked me by accident which has helped massively because she can feel everything I do” I tell them with a shrug. I see Mateo look at Ezra funny, making me suspicious.

“What?”

“Nothing, we just want this to work out is all, she seems nice. Timid but nice” Mateo answers and I change the subject not liking their interest in my love life.

“Did you have a pack member named Lyle that recently passed away in the last few months?” I ask looking over at Ezra. He stiffens, his lips pressing in a line before he swallows, his eyes darting to Mateo making me look over at him. Mateo rubs a hand down his face and sighs. Looking back at Ezra he looked gutted making me wonder if they were close.

“Sorry bro, I didn’t realize you were close with him” I tell him, passing him the chopping board of cut up onions. He scrapes them on the burner before handing it back to me.

“I wasn’t close to him, I barely knew him, he was new to the pack” Ezra says while flipping the steaks.

“Is there a reason you are asking about Lyle Wesson?” Ezra asks me.
