Chapter 75
Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 75
Ezra POV
They just kept coming, as I got to the packhouse. Worse still these were my men and killing them has to be a last resort but
keeping them back was another thing entirely.
And Andrei was relentless, we have been stuck out outside the packhouse for over an hour now, I couldn’t get in without opening
the shutters which for now was no longer an option.
Maddox was growing weary, yet Andrei still kept coming.
‘Behind you Maddox’ I tell him and he pivots just in time to see Nicolas had awoken and caught up to us. His claws ripping down
our side as Andrei sinks his canines into my other side, losing our breath in a wheeze as I feel my lung collapse,my rib breaking
from the pressure.
We couldn’t keep this up, Maddox won’t last much longer, our ability to heal slowing with each blow.
Mathias and Jasmine shooting each dart with precision taking down our patrol’s while I am being torn apart by two Alpha’s.
“She’s not mine” is all I keep hearing through the mindlink, yet concentrating on it was distracting me and Maddox before I feel
our front shoulder ripped into by Nicolas. I was done for, as they both attacked. Could feel our flesh being torn, feel teeth sink
into the soft part of our torso.
‘Mateo will keep her safe’ Maddox says to me, even he knew this was how we would die as felt my back leg dislocate. So many
injuries, not enough time to heal before the next as they both try to rip me to pieces. I see Andrei lunge for my throat when
suddenly he is hit from the side and knocked into Nicolas taking them both down.
“Get to my daughter” I hear through the link before seeing her sandy wolf. Shirley attacking them. Andrei sinks his teeth into her
neck and Maddox pulls himself to his feet, forced to run on three legs while Shirley is forced to shift back.
“Can’t leave her” I tell Maddox. Kat would hate us if we left her to die. Before I could even get to her I see Derricks wolf take on
Andrei and Shirley staggers to her feet just as Nicolas lunges at her but I will give her one thing, her reputation for being the best
female warrior in history was well deserved as even injured she still was willing to take him on in human form.
She steps to the side kicking him in the face just as Maddox tears into him.
Derrick tearing into Andrei blow for blow, when I see Jasmine rushing toward us out of the corner of our eyes. She raises the dart
gun firing for four into Andrei, he grunts from the impact but still keeps going, how Jasmine is able to aim accurately without
hitting Derrick was beyond me before she turns and I duck out off the way as I hear the click, the darts smashing into Nicolas
chest as he tries to sink his teeth into me before falling limp on top of me.
Derrick ripping him off me and we stand, Derrick’s wolf dropping his head pushing us upright. When Shirley comes running
toward us. Maddox growls at her.
“She just saved our life Maddox” I tell him yet he still growls before taking a step toward her, Derrick however shoving in front
blocking him.
“She is still my mate and Kat’s mother” he mind-links.
Shirley stares at him and he looks at her before turning back to me.
“Get to your mate” Derrick says and I look around to find only a few wolves left, Mathias and Jasmine taking them down with the
tranquilizers.
Maddox shifts back yet still refuses to hand over control. Mathias shrieks when he sees our injuries that slowly were healing.
Maddox, using my hand, places it on my stomach to prevent my organs falling out.
“Ezra here” Mathias says and Maddox looks at him. Mathias takes a step back.
“Sorry Alpha, I thought it was Ezra” he says, noticing Maddox still had control.
“I’m fine thanks to...Shirley” he says looking at her as much as he hated the words it was true, as much as he hated her we
owed her for saving our life. Maddox walks to the car before pulling on the handle. The car locked when he punches the window
in on the passenger side, the glass shattering before ripping the door completely off the glove compartment and retrieving the
spare remote.
“How does it work?” He asks me.
“Yellow button will undo just the door shutter” I tell him and he presses it before turning on his heel and heading for the house.
“Maddox give me control please, Mateo is in there with her, you hurt him I won’t forgive you” I tell him, yet he ignores me trying to
shove me back. I see Jasmine out of the corner of my eye and Maddox too stops when he catches sight of her running into the
arms of another, he sniffs the air.
“She is marked, and not by Mateo” Maddox growls before walking over to her. Angie’s older brother staring warily.
“Mateo know?” Maddox asks her, she glanced nervously at her mate before shaking her head.
“You make sure you tell him then” Maddox snaps at her. She nods before baring her neck to him. Her mate staring at her oddly.
Maddox turns heading for the door, yet I could feel how on edge he is as he refused to give me control back. Opening the door
her scent smashed into us and Maddox growled before hitting the button in the remote and shutting the shutter again. Locking us
inside with them.
“Maddox please”
“No” is all he says as he walks up the steps taking them two at a time, his hand still holding our stomach together. The bedroom
door was open and he followed their scents into the bathroom.
“She is not mine” we hear Mateo muttering as we walk in to find them on the shower floor. Mateos head resting on the shower
wall, his eyes closed before opening them when he picks up our scent in the room. Kat in his arms and she lifts her head sniffing
the air before turning to look at us. No recognition in her eyes as her instincts registered our scent yet Mateo doesn’t let her go
like he was afraid to move even as she thrashed in his arms trying to get to us.
Maddox opens the shower screen, crouching on his feet before reaching for her.
“I didn’t... we haven’t done anything” Mateo breathes. One hand under her a$s the other securely around her shoulders.
“I know, I would smell if you had,” he says, prying Mateo’s arm off her. She turns nearly knocking us backwards as her body hits
ours in a blur. Maddox groans at the pain of her body colliding with ours as her legs locked around us, her lips going to our neck.
Maddox wraps his arm around her, and I could feel our injuries healing as she attacked us.
“Enough kitty, you will grow weak” Maddox growls at her. Mateo frozen, his entire body tense as we forced forward back to the
crouching position with her tucked in our lap.
Maddox stands walking to the room, before grabbing the handcuffs off the bed and securing one to her wrist and the other to the
bed head.
Kat whimpers as we step away from her. “Hang on kitty, I will give you what you want, I just need to deal with Mateo” he says
and I try to shove forward as he turns to the bathroom.
Mateo is still on the floor not moving, his entire body tense and locked in the same position as Maddox bends, crouches standing
on our toes in front of him. My heart skips a beat when Maddox grabs the back of his neck. Mateo resigned to the idea of his
death when Maddox pressed his forehead to Mateo’s.
“Thank you” Maddox says, shocking not only me but Mateo.
“We don’t deserve a friend like you, we don’t deserve her. Yet you never took her, and thank you Ares” Maddox says. Mateos
eyes flickering black.
“We serve for you” Ares says, Mateo’s voice becoming rougher deeper as Ares answers.
“No you stand with me, always have even when we don’t deserve you by our side” Maddox tells him and he nods before giving
Mateo back control.
Maddox lets him go, and we could hear Kat’s cries in the room behind us, feel her agony.
“Do you need help or can you walk out of here”
“I can’t move,” Mateo says and Maddox nods.
“Just do it” Mateo breathes out.
Maddox nods his fist clenching.
“Wait! Just not the nose, I don’t want it to heal crooked can’t ruin my sex appeal” Mateo says as Maddox raises his fist. Maddox
chuckles.
“No we don’t want that” he says and Mateo chuckles, dropping his head forward.
“On 3” Mateo says and Maddox nods to him.
“One” Maddox says before punching him in the temple and knocking him out cold.
“You didn’t kill him,” I tell Maddox.
“I meant what I said” Maddox answers before grabbing Mateo and tossing him over his shoulder. He stands walking out the
bedroom and our room, heading for Mateo’s bedroom and placing Mateo on his bed before pulling his blanket up, he nods
before turning and walking out, shutting the door behind him.
“Now let’s go help our mate” he says walking toward the bedroom and I feel him give back the reins and move back to the
shadows of my mind.
