Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 70

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 70
The next week went past quickly, I studied at home while Ezra worked. Mateo had become quite distant, and we hardly saw him. He left early in the morning and had taken on the training of the pack warriors and wouldn’t come home till late at night, always smelling of different women.

My father still hadn’t returned home and said it was my choice if I kept in touch with her but he wanted nothing to do with her. Mum told me their chats of sorting things out just turned into arguments before my father packed his things and moved in with a friend.

 

Each night I had been sneaking out to see her and it was honestly starting to catch up with me. I was always tired but knew it was my only chance to see her. I tried to reason with Ezra but his answer was always the same even though she told my father. He got angry when I told him I was mindlinking her but didn’t say I couldn’t. He just didn’t want me near her.

Ezra closes his laptop looking over at me on the couch. I pack my stuff up before placing it on his desk and walk over to him.

“You’re always so tired” he mutters as I yawn, pulling me on his lap. Leaning against him, he wraps his arms around me and kisses my shoulder.

Hearing a knock on the door, I look at it and go to hop off his lap when he pulls me back down against him, holding me in place.

“You don’t have to knock Mateo” Ezra calls out and the door opens.

He flops on the couch resting his head on the back of it letting out a sigh. “Jacksons men were at the border again today,” he says.

 

“Yeah Alex mind linked me” Ezra says and I look at him.

“They didn’t cross, they were just watching,” Ezra tells me.

“Have you heard from Jasmine?” Mateo asks, lifting his head. I shake my head.

“No, she has been with Angie a lot. But other than that, just busy helping her dad at the clinic, why haven’t you heard from her?”

 

“Not for the last three days” he says with a shrug.

“Well I will leave you to it” Mateo says standing up.

“Are you going out again?” Ezra asks him and I could hear the concern in his voice as he stared at his friend.

“Nothing else to do” he says, about to walk out when Ezra calls after him.

“You can watch movies and play cards with us?”

“No horrors?” Mateo asks.

“One is, the other is Mateo appropriate” I chuckle and he thinks for a second before nodding.

“I will shower first then go grab dinner then”

“Pizza?” He asks.

“Fine” I tell him and he smiles before rushing out and up the stairs.

“I’m worried about him,” Ezra says and I nod. He had been acting strange and wasn’t his usual bubbly self. More closed off and distant.

“Want me to see if Jasmine wants to come over?” I ask and Ezra nods against my shoulder. I feel for my link to Jasmine.

I push on it before feeling it connect.

“Hey Jas”

“What you doing kit Kat’”

“Nothing wanted to see if you wanted to watch movies and play cards”

“Will Mateo be there?” She asks, her voice sounding unsure.

“Yes, why. I know you two had a fight but he is a good guy Jas”

“I know but that’s not it Kat, I found him”

“Huh?”

“My mate Kat, it is Angie’s oldest brother, he came back 3 days ago, I finally found him” she squeals excitedly but I felt my heart sink for Mateo. I was happy for her, but now where did that leave Mateo and her, they can’t avoid each other forever.

“Does Mateo know?”

“I should go Kat” she says before cutting the link.

I focus back in the room.

“What did she say?”

“Um she is busy” I tell him, it wasn’t our place to tell him, but Jasmine should, if she has no intention of being with him she should at least tell him and not leave him hanging. It kind of disappointed me, I thought she would be straight up with him instead of just ignoring him.
