Chapter 105
Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 105
I try to do as Andrei asks with his deep breathing, but it was hard to stifle my giggles when I could hear
him breathing deeply, I was just waiting for him to break out in a shaman dance. Cracking an eye open,
I find his eyes closed as he took this very seriously. He looked quite funny, especially from his size
sitting cross legged and his back straight, meditation was never my thing, so I kind of found it pointless.
But I still tried to be a good sport and closed my eyes, listening to his deep breathing and trying not
burst out into a fit of giggles.
I lose track of time as we sit there, the sun making me sweat profusely while he tells me to search for m
y mind’s eye or some whacked voodoo crap. Feeling fur brush my arm, I open my eyes to see Maddox
sitting beside me with his head cocked to the side as he watches Andrei, Maddox deep voice flitting
through my head.
“What is he doing?”
“No idea” I tell him, looking to my side Mateo wasying on his side on the grass with his head propped
on his hand. I try not tough when I watch him clean his apple on his shorts before biting into it loudly.
The crunch of his crisp green apple sounded loud inparison to Andrei’s deep breathing, I see
Andrei open up his eyes before ring at Mateo.
“What, just watching you do your weird panting just pretend I’m not here” Mateo tells him sending him a
wink.
“It’s called meditation”
“You call it meditation, I call it panting like a heffer but please continue bet thedies love you panting
over the top of them like that” Mateo tells him and Andrei growls at him. Mateo however was unfazed
by him and continued to eat his apple.
Andrei turns and looks at Maddox he chuckles,
shaking his head, “ Seriously Ezra, I mean her no harm you can shift back, I am not going to attack m y
own sister” Andrei tells him.
“That’s Maddox, not Ezra. Maddox hasn’t given him control back yet after Kat turned demonic, I tried to
ring you but you never answered your damn phone” Mateo tells him.
“What do you mean, kat turned demonic?” Andrei asks and I also look at him wondering what the hell
Mateo was talking about.
“Kat, she” Mateo looks at me worriedly while I wait for him to exin what he meant.
“She lost it, became angry and she almost seemed insane ” I pulled a face at what he said, he sounded
insane, I have no memory of anything happening after we left the meeting.
“Ezra had to mark her again to subdue her and then Maddox took over, came homest night drenched
in blood after he killed some shit and one of our patrollers”
“What? You killed someone? Maddox please give Ezra back control” I ask, looking at Maddox but he
gets up and walks away with a growl. He didn’t seem angry, in fact I couldn’t feel anything emotion wise
“So it’s already happening” Andrei mutters, making me look at him. He looked deep in thought.
“What’s happening?” Both Mateo and I ask at the same time.
“Jinx” Mateo says and I roll my eyes at him.
“The madness, ites with being a Gemini, you need to get her to shift it might help. Any time she
heals someone it will get worse, thest Gemini wolf killed his own mates by ident then killed
himself”
“The journals said they died, never said anything about him killing them” I tell Andrei.
“Yeah well I have Josiah’s actual journal, plus one o f his mates, everytime he healed someone, his
behaviour became erratic, but even before that, before he first shifted after bing what he was, his
mates spoke of him sleep walking and that his anger was explosive, his behaviour erratic. After he
killed his mates, his journal was nearly unreadable, his thoughts that manic he wentpletely insane.
Some of the things I found said that a Gemini wolf’s mates can take the darkness thates with
being a Gemini, share it if you will. That must be why Maddox took over when Ezra marked you, the
madness that was in you transferred to him”
“So I will go insane?” I ask him, horrified. This was meant to break the curse, not give me a new one.
“Not necessarily, as long as you don’t bring back the dead, it should be manageable, plus we have all
different medications that can help these days. Back then, they didn’t have mood stabilizers or know
what to even call schizophrenia or different mental illnesses, we have resources that can help these
things in today’s day and age. But yes, everytime you heal someone it takes a piece of you, you are
essentially giving a piece of yourself to them and you are taking the death from them, that would be
enough to send anyone mad Kat, so just stay away from dead people, but there is more, for you to heal
someone, or bring them back from the dead, you have to kill someone to harbour that level healing
ability, a life for a life essentially, small things are fine like a wound or whatever but to heal someone
who is dead or critically injured that will mean killing someone else”
“Well I don’t n on bringing back the dead, or killing anyone” I tell him.
“Then you should be fine with your mates help, but you need to shift, it helps because once shifted you
can recharge off the moon, kind of like you did when you were a lunar healer, keeps not only you
strong but your mind too” Andrei tells me.
“I don’t get it, how do you know so much?” I ask him.
“Anthony, you should meet him sometime, that’s why your father came to my territory, he thought
Anthony had something to do with your mothers death, but in fact it was me. I needed those scrolls
from Jackson to put the final pieces together” Andrei says. I go to get up at his words but he puts his
hands up pointing to the grass. “Please let me exin before you turn homicidal” I sit back down
deciding to hear him out, he had given us more information than anyone so far.
“I know what I did to help Jackson was wrong, Kat. But your family has a lot of secrets, you have only
seen them in a certain light, it’s only now that you are really learning who they are, eventually you will
learn to trust no one, not even me. My intentions are good right now but people change kat, I do mean
it when I say I mean you no harm and I couldn’t see a reason for me wanting to go against you, but just
remember everyone has a tipping point, everyone has something they would kill for. Don’ t trust
anyone, only your mates. Secrets get people killed. You will learn that, one way or another”
“Exactly secret do get people killed, so why do you want my venom?” I ask him.
“Nothing to do with you kat, but if you must know. I want it for Jackson. Anthony raised me and after
knowing what he did to my stepfather and my mother, I want revenge but that is all I will tell you”
Maddoxes back sitting on the grass, while I ponder his words, all this talk of secrets was making
me think of the biggest one I was keeping from my mates, that our future may not mean Mateo is in it,
making me wonder if maybe telling them, may alter future events that moon Goddess gave me.
“He is a big f*cker? Isn’t he, looks even more massive when he isn’t trying to kill someone” Andrei says,
staring at Maddox as he tries to sit across myp. Andrei chuckles at him while I try to shove him off,
embarrassed at his behaviour, Ezra would be horrified seeing Maddox act like a clingy pup in front of
another Alpha.
“Funny how much like animals they truly are, our wolves are lethal but only our mates can make them
act like that, Donnie is always on the lookout for his, bes quite annoying at times. Yet just like
Maddox he would kill without hesitation just like I would” I push him off only for Maddox to go crush
Mateo. I shake my head at his behaviour.
“Just like the darkness there is a peak then they crash, that’s why he is being like that. One extreme or
another, you will find your moods will be the same, one minute you will be clingy like he is being right
now, seekingfort, the next you will want to kill them” Andrei says while we watch Maddoxy on
Mateo’s back, Mateo tries roll out from under him only for Maddox to start licking his face and neck.
Andrei shakes his head at him andughs to himself. Did look rather funny considering Maddox usually
only came forward when wanted to hurt someone besides with us he never acted like this.
“I have the scrolls in my car, you can have them but it tells you nothing I haven’t already said but if you
can find an interpreter you are more then wee to have them” Andrei says.
“Yes that would be good” Mateo chokes out as Maddox mauls him with his heavy body rubbing himself
all over him like a cat.
“Don’t suppose you know how long he will be like that for?”
“The fact he appears to being down from what he took from you, I say a few more hours and he
will shift back, he seems calm though, is he speaking to you in the mindlink?” Andrei asks and I nod.
“Then he should return soon, Maddox is basically running off instinct and blocking the human part out
of him out, Ezra will be fine, but would be best if you shift soon, it won’t be as bad next time, I should
head off but if you want to follow me to my car I will give you those scrolls, I wille back tomorrow, it
is getting a bit hot out here anyway” Andrei says hopping up.
I followed him to the car, Maddox also following me as he kept trying to grab my hand in his mouth.
Andrei hands me the scrolls before shocking me and giving me a hug. “Always wanted a sister” He
says before climbing in his car. He honks his horn on the way out and I wave to him before he
disappears.
“Can honestly say, Andrei really isn’t that bad” Mateo saysing up behind me, he wraps his arms
around my waist and rests his chin on my shoulder, Maddox kepot trying to put his head up m y shirt
and trying to move Mateo’s arms from around me. As we were about to turn around and head inside
though I saw Angie pull up.
Mateo groans not wanting any more visitors. But Angie hops out anyway before stopping near us.
“Hey” She says approaching us, she eyes Maddox worriedly but he was paying her no attention instead
trying to grab Mateo’s arm still. Mateo lets me go and calls Maddox with him as he heads inside and I
shake my head at them.
“What are you doing here?” I ask her, turning and heading for the house.
“Nothing, just came to drop this off, I was volunteering down at the funeral home, told the director I
would drop it in for her to save her the drive” She hands me a document.
I open and find a death certificate. “This the man Maddox killed?”
“Yeah, he was only new to the pack, no family so that makes it a little easier but dad said he was a nice
man, just at the wrong ce at the wrong time” Angie says before sniffing the air.
“Ezra just needs to sign in and drop it in to her” I nod before sighing, I still can’t believe Maddox killed
someone, Ezra always said his pack was family, and it kind of sucked that because of me he killed one

of them.
“Well I will see you tomorrow” She sniffs the air again before turning and then stopping.
“Did you buy a new perfume or something?” She asks and scrunch up my eyebrows.
“No, I smell of sweat. I have been outside all day” She shakes her head with an odd look on her face.
“You just smell nice ” She says before walking to her car.
“Wait,” I tell her and she stops.
“Can I sign this?”
“Yes, just needs to be signed off by an Alpha, you are one so I say it would be alright” She says before
opening her car door and rummaging through her glovebox. She hands me a pen.
I sign hoping if I do, Ezra won’t feel too bad when hees back and realises what Maddox did,
maybe he won’t remember. I lean on her car window and sign my name when Angie sniffs me, I look at
her over my shoulder. Her face barely an inch off mine.
“ Sorry, you just smell different, so I…. don’t know you smell nice” She says looking at me oddly. I hand
her the paper and she gets in her car before driving off. I thought her behaviour odd, she never sniffs
me and all I could smell was my mates and the lingering scent of Andrei when he hugged me, but other
than that I smelt the same only sweaty “ Hmm” I thought as I headed for the door.
