Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 103

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 103

Maddox POV

Ezra never gave me control when it came to Kat, yet I could see he was struggling with his temper which I knew was coming directly from Kat, her anger fueling him and he never felt so out of control before, usually my temper scared him but for once he was scared of himself. Either way I was more than comfortable in both forms as I watched Andrei leave.

Even Mateo I could feel was becoming annoyed, making me wonder if it was all from Kat. Her usually shy and placid mindset had slowly left over the last couple of days and Mateo and we thought she might be going into heat again since Mateo marked her but instead we got left with this demon version of my kitty.

Mateo mindlinks Ezra as we walk toward the car, yet Ezra was ashamed of his behaviour; he never intended to lose his cool with her but she had been constantly screaming at us for the last three days. Ezra ignores him pushing back further where Mateo couldn’t reach him.

“You drive, I will deal with her” I tell him, opening the car door, he looks at me worried as he climbs out.

“He has given me control Mateo” I mindlink to him, sliding across the back seat as Mateo climbed in the driver’s seat.

“You seem calm” Mateo notes, and I felt it rather calming talking to Mateo, we didn’t talk much. I mainly spoke to Ares, when I did talk to Mateo it usually involved me yelling at him or him copping my nager, but since we marked him. I actually find him and Kat make me rather centred now.

“I am, Ezra was having trouble controlling himself” I tell him before turning to look at Kat as he starts the car. She shuffles away realising Ezra didn’t have control and I unclip her seatbelt before yanking her onto my lap. Her scent made me growl softly as I pressed my face into the crook of her neck.

“You aren’t going to hurt her are you?” Mateo mindlinks me. I say nothing. I don’t want to hurt her, not intentionally anyway.

“Do I need to pull over Maddox?” Mateo asks when I say nothing and I see him glance at me in the mirror before realising Kat had goosebumps rushing over her skin.

“No, I am fine ” I tell him, when Kat suddenly bites me trying to get my arm off her chest. I growl at her.

“Let me go, you big furry brute” She says. I pull my arm away looking at it, her blunt teeth barely breaking the skin. I growl at her enjoying the way she cringes when I press my canines against her throat. I always found it amusing that she wasn’t scared of me until the teeth came out.

She freezes and I see Mateo’s eyes dart to me nervously and I could feel him debating with himself whether or not to pull over and get me away from her.

I run my canines over her shoulder and her breathing hitches, her heart rate increases thumping loudly against my hand that is holding her against me.

“Maddox?” Mateo says, slowing the car down and I could see he was about to pull over, probably the only thing I liked about Mateo before I marked him was as much as he feared me, he was first to react and jump in against me to protect Ezra from the damage I sometimes caused. No matter how many times I had injured him he always stayed even when Ezra told him to run. I knew he would give his life for our mate, even if it meant me killing him, though now just the thought of hurting him makes me queasy.

“I’m fine, keep driving, I find her temper more amusing than annoying” I tell him, feeling the car increase in speed.

“Not so smart mouthed now kitty” I tell her and I feel her temper rise, feel her anger bubbling at my words. Mateo pulls into the driveway and Kat tries to scramble off me.

“Stop” I tell her when I feel her elbow me in the ribs. Yet she still struggles, making me wonder how much worse her attitude was going to get. Andrei said it was from her needing to shift. I found it amusing but I wanted my kitty back. This side of her was making Ezra uncomfortable with himself. Ezra was the calm while I was the storm, yet he gave me control which in some ways scared me.

Fear wasn’t something I felt often but each time I have felt it was something to do with Kat.

Mateo opens the door and I climb out of the car, dragging a struggling Kat with me. She drops her weight and I only just manage to grip her arms before she slides onto her butt and escapes. I pick her up, her entire body thrashing as she tries to escape my grip when I chuck her over my shoulder. I grip the back of her thighs to stop her from kicking me. Mateo was watching her and I could feel his concern for her but I could feel he was also becoming annoyed with her erratic behaviour. At least now we know it isn’t her fault and that she wasn’t being a brat for no reason.

“Put me down” She screeches and I have never seen her so out of control before. She was almost manic as she tried to escape, hitting and scratching at my back.

“Don’t hurt her” Ezra tells me coming forward at the sound of her manic voice.
