Chapter 160
Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 160
Sage POV
Andrei was gone for three days, I hadn’t seen him and I was starting to worry. After the second day m y
anger diffused and I wanted to understand, tried to understand. Every morning Zane let me out of the
Packhouse with Casen who had been training me with Zane. I liked Casen, he was easy to get along
with and Zane was more rxed around him and not so on edge. In fact the entire pack was more
rxed with Andrei gone making me realize how much his behaviour was affecting his pack too.
Slipping on my runners quickly, I nce at the rm clock to see Casen and Zane would be here soon.
I rummaged through the bathroom drawer looking for a hair tie before tying my hair up in a ponytail.
Rushing down the steps, I wait by the door. This was my favourite part of the day, I got out for a few
hours before being escorted back. I asked Zane when Andrei would be back because being locked up
was driving me nuts, though he went against Andrei letting me out the other night while everyone was
drinking and ying cricket out the front of the Packhouse.
I felt a bit awkward though once they were all drunk and stumbling over each other and asked Zane to
let me go home. He surprisingly never drank and neither did Casen, Vince or Malik which I was
surprised about. From what I could tell Zane was running things but assured me Andrei would return,
though I was nervous about seeing him again after our argument.
Casen and Zane tried over thest few days to exin his obsession with killing rogues but none of it
made sense to me because I saw no end to it.
The door opens and I see Casen and Zane waiting out the front before doing a double take of Casen. “
Vince?” I ask, there was something off about him. Casen was more bubbly, and always wore his
signature smirk which wasn’t in ce today.
“Ah I thought we could trick you Luna” Heughs.
“Where is Casen?” I ask, I usually train with Casen not Vince, not that I minded but I had grown used to
his outgoing personality. Vince was a little more quiet but when Casen and Vince were together they
were little jerks always shoving each other and clowning around.
“Patrol duty with Malik” Zane answers as I follow him to the clearing that was used for a training
ground.
It was already warm this morning, the sun already out and beaming brightly, not a cloud in the sky as
we trekked up the hill to the training ground where everyone else was training.
“Will you be ok training with Vince?” Zane asks and I nod.
“I will go easy on you?” Heughs and I roll my eyes. I was getting used to defending myself against a
wolf, the hand to hand stuff though had caused a few freak outs.
I start stretching when we reach the spot, Vince doing the same making me stop and look at Zane. “ I
know you hate it, Luna but you can’t just train against a wolf, ” Zane says, making my heart skip a beat.
“They won’t hurt us” Sierra reminds me and I knew they wouldn’t but certain things trigger my
memories shoving me back to the past. I couldn’t control it, though Zane was quick to notice and so
was Casen but Vince I hadn’t trained with him before.
“Maybe we skip today?” I tell him already feeling anxiety creep up and start to set in.
“No, you need to learn to adjust Sage, if you really have to defend yourself, it won’t be Casen you will

be defending yourself from or me” He says.
Vince continues stretching and I mimic him until Zane tells us to take our stance.
2 hourster I was drenched in sweat, my muscles aching as I tried to defend myself against his
attacks, Zane correcting my movements when I got them wrong or showing me new ways to get out of
different scenarios.
I took my position again but I was growing sluggish, the heat bing too much so when Vince
lunged at me and knocked me down. I barely feel it, until his weight is pressing down on my back. I try
to roll to get him off my back and swing my arm back trying to elbow him when he catches my arm
before grabbing the other pinning them behind my back. I could feel Vince’s breath on my neck. Sierra
doing her usual chanting in my head when I start to feel ustrophobic and start freaking out.
“It’s Vince Sage, just Vince, just a 17 year old boy who is our friend” She repeats over and over in my
head. I hated being pinned, and hated feeling weight pressing down on me. I had gone the entire
session without one meltdown and now I was tired. I was losing focus, and also losing it, being plunged
back to being with my captors. My breathing bes shallow as I start to panic when suddenly Zane
drops down on his stomach near my face.
“Think Sage, think about the position you’re in”
“I am thinking about the position I am in, Zane ” I snap at him trying to keep focused. I try to wiggle my
arms free but he pulls them higher up my back making me cry out before he loosened his grip instead
holding me firmly, his knees digging into the back of my thighs.
“Think Sage, you can get out of this” Zane says but I was going into panic mode. Shutting down, as I
tried to push up on my knees, he had me pinned and I saw no way out, I wasn’t strong enough to lift his
weight, not without at least one arm out. I could
hear Zane talking to me, trying to tell me what to do but I couldn’t understand him as his voice became
softer and further away.
“Off her, stop, she is done for today” I hear Zane yell before his weight lifts. Zane starts pping in front
of my face trying to bring me back to the present.
“Luna right here” I hear him trying to get my attention. I could hear Sierra telling me to breathe and I
rolled on my back draping my arm over my eyes shielding my face from the sun and trying to catch my
breath.
“Ok, no more training until Andreies back unless it is training with your wolf” Zane says. Vince was
sitting beside me, with his knees bent with his arms resting on them. He was covered in sweat too as I
tried to calm myself and he tried to catch his breath.
“I hope that is bloody soon” I hear Vince say, making me look at him.
“I spoke to Derrick, he will be here tomorrow”
Zanes says.
“Alpha know?” Vince asks.
“ I mindlinked him, he didn’t reply but I know he heard me”
“Did he say when he would be back?” I ask but he shakes his head sadly.
“No, but he wille back Sage” Zane says and I nod while sitting up before getting to my feet.
“Where is your drink bottle?” Zane asks and I sigh.
“Forgot it” I tell him and Vince hands me his, I squirt some water in my mouth and hand it back to him
before holding my hand out, he takes it and I pull him up to walk back. I needed a shower, my clothes
sticking to me and I was covered in grass which was making me itchy.
Zane and Vince walk me back and I head straight for the shower letting them lock me in my concrete
prison. I spend the rest of the day and most of the night watching TV before crawling in bed around 10
PM.
It was still dark when I woke up to hands grabbing me. My eyes fly open to the darkened room and I
start hitting and kicking my attacker. “ It’s me Sage, it’s Andrei” Comes Andrei’s deep voice in the
darkness. I stop thrashing my heart rate slowing and I suck in a breath to find him hovering over the top
of me.
“When did youe back?” I ask him, he was covered in dirt and shirtless, I could just make him out
with the help of the bathroom light that I left on. His hair is a mess like he just rolled out of bed himself,
though rolling in mud would probably be more urate.
“An hour ago, sorry I was trying not to wake you, but I need your hand” He says before scooping me
up.
“You need my what?” I ask him. I look to the window to find it still dark outside, making me wonder what
the time was when he starts walking down the stairs. I try to stand but he maneuvers me instead so my
legs are wrapped around his waist. I give up too tired to argue with him but d to have him home.
“Earth to Sage, he wants our hand?” Sierra says to me.
“He said that?” I yawn telling her and resting my chin on his shoulder.
“You’re not going to question that, what if he wants to chop it off?” She asks, making me sit up in his
arms.
“Why do you want my hand?” I ask her words like a bucket of cold water being tossed on me.
“Not to cut it off” He says, reaching the bottom floor.
“Freaked me out for no reason Sierra”
“Well I was just making sure, he has a fetish for killing remember” She retorts.
Andrei stopped by the front door holding me with one arm while he tapped some buttons on the panel.
“I probably should have done this before I left, I didn’t think Zane would take my words so seriously and
only let you for training with Casen,” he says.
“And yet it couldn’t wait till daylight hours?” I mutter as he presses my hand against the panel,
rolling it slightly to make sure it gets my entire hand.
“Hmm I wanted to do it while I remembered, besides now I can go to sleep and not worry about you
trying to hack one of mine off” He says, kissing my cheek.
“There now you cane and go as you please” He states before tapping some more buttons on the
panel before it makes a beeping noise.
“Where did you go?” I ask him.
“The mountain, I wasn’t far” He says, dipping his face into the crook of my neck. I was angry with him
but I really missed him over thest few days. This ce was lonely without him here and I was
relieved he was back, a few times I worried he wouldn’t return.
“ I saw you training with Casen yesterday. I was watching you” He says. I nod trying to get down out of
his arms but he hoists me up higher.
“Please don’t be angry, I am sorry Sage. You were right I didn’t need to kill Lior”
“Lior?”
“The rogue, that was his name” He whispers before heading back toward the stairs refusing to let me
walk. “He missed us,” Sierra says and I nod at her words.
“Are you going to stop?” I ask him, afraid he will say no.
“I am going to let my father take over the pack for a while, ” He says.
“That’s not what I asked Andrei” I tell him as he walks into the bathroom and ces me next to the sink
basin.
“I know, I can’t promise that Sage, but I can promise to not look for them, or to kill any rogue that
means no harm. I will only kill them if they attack our pack. Is that good enough for you” He asks, I
chew my lip before Andrei tugs my lip from between my teeth with his thumb waiting for my answer.
“Only if they attack the pack, the rest you will leave alone?”
“ I promise, no more Rogues, I will even clearout the basement if you want me to”
“Yeah the torture chamber needs to go” I tell him and he chuckles but nods his head.
“So am I forgiven?” He asks moving to stand between my legs.
“Almost” I tell him, wrapping my arms around his neck. He smiles, leaning his face towards mine.
I lean forward kissing him, his lips moulding around mine perfectly before he slips his tongue into my
mouth. He kisses me deeply, his tongue tasting every inch of my mouth and I tug him closer before
running my fingers through his hair but then pulling away.
“You need to shower” I tell him, my fingers covered in dirt and dried mud. Heughs pecking my lips a
couple of times.
“Join me?” He asks, gripping his shirt I am wearing. I lift my arms letting him tug it off, his hands gently
caressing my sides and he kisses me once more before turning and starting the shower.
“No more rogues?” I ask again.
“No more rogues, Sage. I swear to you” He says looking over at me while he checks the water
temperature and I sigh before jumping off the bench and tugging off my cotton shorts. Andrei removes
his before stepping in the shower and pulling me in with him.
