Filed to story: Fated To The Alpha Novel (Alpha Ezra & Katya) >>
Jackson watched an evil glint in his eye as he ordered my mother to reject him, reject him or he would die, granting his Beta’s wish.
My mother, not wanting to watch the man she loves die, did as they asked even though it killed her, killed pieces of her soul off that she knew she would never be able to get back, leaving a hole in her soul that could never be filled.
The vision skips ahead and it was the day before they were due to be wed, my mother Shirley coming home, and I could feel Katherine’s excitement at having her sister home, Shirley walking into the house and Katherine jumps up to introduce them to each other when they both spoke at the same time, the heart crushing feeling when they called each other mate.
Katherine looked at my father, as he embraced my mother and she felt like she was dying inside as she watched him claim another but denied her the same right. He had her other mate banished while not only was she forced to accept her mate had another too, but that other person was her twin sister making it impossible for her to decide.
The two very people she loved in this world the most, were also killing her internally while she longed for the love lost.
She couldn’t bring herself to punish her sister, she hated my father in this moment, how dare he claim another when he made her give up her mate, made her give him up yet was expected to accept this and If it were anyone else, if his other mate was not her sister she would have demanded he do the same, bin she fell she owed my mother this glimmer of happiness, she felt guilty for what my mother endured because of her, because of the curse bestowed on her.
I was seeing my father in a new light, seeing everything with clarity as the darkness enveloped me again, washing over me and sending me numb, my father was a hypocrite.
I finally understood what the Moon Goddess meant when she said she threw me bone and was trying to help.
Generations of mates separated because of jealousy, strangers refusing to accept each other and costing my family their lives and hearts. The Moon Goddess didn’t just pair me with strangers like all the times before.
I noticed all the first mates from my vision were men of power, men of dominance, and possessive beasts unwilling to allow another man in, unaccepting of another. Then there was me. I had two mates but unlike previous generations, Seline didn’t pair me with strangers. she paired me with bestfriends, their friendship and love outweighing the curse upon the woman in my family, forging bonds between them stronger than that of fate. I chuckle at my new found clarity, the Moon Goddesses words coming back to me.
“I threw you a bone if you will” She did more than that, she tempted fate and allowed my mates to alter it, Mateo’s love forging bond between them, Ezra’s love for his friend out weighing his anger and jealousy, what started as friendship turned to something more, something magnificent and that was the bone she threw me.
I could feel sparks rushing over my skin, my feeling coming back as both their scents wafted around me. I could feel hands trailing up my sides soothingly, my face pressed in Mateo’s neck as he held me, when I felt fingers move my hair from my face. My eyes fluttered open to see Ezra’s caramel eyes peering back at me from where he sat next to Mateo on the bed.
“Hey babe” He whispers and I feel Mateo look down his lips pressing to my forehead, could feel both their relief that I was awake.
“Gave me quite the scare” Mateo says, pressing me even closer. A tear slipping down my face, when Kora surfaces, her words breaking my heart knowing she endured this for many lives.
“I am home, I am free” she whispers, and I could feel the restraints that restrict her break free, shattering the cage that surrounded her heart, the one she kept sealed as she tried to protect it each time she loved and lost. My mark tingled as both their DNA blended in my bloodstream, pain radiating though my entire being but I embraced it as I felt it morph, felt it make me stronger, make Kora stronger before all I saw was white.
white light took my vision and I felt like I was down his lips pressing to my forehead, could feel both their relief that I was awake.
“Gave me quite the scare” Mateo says, pressing me even closer. A fear slipping down my face, when Kora surface, her words breaking my heart knowing she endured this for many lives.
“I am home, I am free” she whispers, and I could feel the restraints that restrict her break free, shattering the cage that surrounded her heart, the one she kept sealed as she tried to protect it each time she loved and lost. My mark tingled as both their DNA blended in my bloodstream, pain radiating through my entire being but I embraced it as I felt it morph, felt it make me stronger, make Kora stronger before all I saw was white.
White light took my vision and I felt like I was floating in my pain as I screamed in anguish. Only for it to stop and I found myself in a field, staring at the women of my family’s past and standing between us, was Kora. Kora the white wolf was so beautiful, she looked like a deity as her fur glowed, her fur moving in the breeze as she steeped closer before looking at the women behind her who she share her lives with before looking back at me.
“You made me whole Kat, our mates made us whole and for that we are blessed” She says and I could feel her happiness, feel her love for them and for me . She steps closer and I could feel the surety of who she was, who I was. We were no longer separate entities in one body but one, I had set her free, freedom to be who we were destined to be, freedom to love.
Seline materializes in the field of flowers looking regal as she steps towards me, a true Goddess in every sense and I could feel her power oozing off her my family disappearing as she stands before me.
It started with Marabella, but it can end with you, Katya. Kora will be free just don’t scarifies the mate bond” She says and I look up at her trying to figure out why I would do such a thing, I loved them. Wondering why she was taking about Josiah the gemini wolf?
Seline chuckles noticing my confusion. “your family wasn’t the only one to be blessed and cursed with a Lunar healer Kat” I looked at Kora and she peers up at me only then do I notice the mark on her neck as the breeze ruffles her fur exposing the soft skin beneath and instinctively touch my neck, It was warm to touch.
Your life is no longer just yours, you have levelled the playing field, you were blessed with life Kat, but to be blessed with life you must be cursed with death, you can’t give life without death. Choose wisely who you keep by your side, for your life is now tied to theirs. Both men tainted with death, Maddox cursed with his anger and the death he reigns down on those who cross him, Ares despite his losses is blessed with life no matter how much he loses he always chosen to keep going, to live and to love. one blessed with life the other cursed with death and then there’s you, the balance in between bringing you all together and setting Kora free, setting you free and awakening the Gemini” She tells me and I look at the mark on kora neck, the Gemini marking the one I know stains my own.
“I blessed you with the gift of life and cursed you with death, now you yield both, just remember kat with life comes death, choosen wisely for not everyone deserves to be saved, chose your skeletons Kat some are easier to live with”
“I don’t understand” I admit, trying to figure out what she is telling me and also trying to figure out what she is not.
To save a life first must take one, I tried to warn Marabella, tried to tell her the choice was never so easy, she wanted to know why I was willing to sacrifice her pack, it was to save another that was more worthy, now you must make the same choice and that choice is never easy. I chose between my children who to help who to let go, when put in a spot where you need to chose, the choice is never easy, just remember kat to save one you kill another”
She says and I feel tears slip down my face at her words before pain rolls over me as kora and I bleed back into one another. My screams deafening as I feel a shift within me, death rolling over me and the coldness of it, the empty feeling inside that comes with it.
“Kat, Please” I hear Mateo cry.
“kat?” I hear their voice pulling me back and I jolt back my eyes snapping open, my heart hammering in my chest, sweating coating my skin as I take a deep breath of air like I had been holding my breath. Both Mateo and Ezra hovering above me, Ezra’s hands in the centre of my chest and both their faces stained with tears.
Relief hitting me from them, as I peered back at them. “what,….what happened?” I ask, looking at them trying to figure out why they looked so panicked.
“You were fine, you were awake then you just stopped breathing, your heart stopped” Mateo says, clutching my face. “You’re ok, you are ok” He whispers, pressing his head to mine when I feel Ezra cup the back of my head with his hand, also pressing his to mine and I realise why his hands were on my chest, and why my were aching he was giving me CPR.
I place my hand on both of their faces. “I am okay, we are all ok” I tell them before sitting up, trying to catch my breath.
Ezra sits back rubbing my cheek with his thumb before he cocks his head to the side, his eyes going I place my hand on both of their faces. ” I am okay, we are all ok” I tell them before sitting up, trying to catch my breath.
Ezra sits back rubbing my cheek with his thumb before he cock his head to the side, his eyes going wide and he flicks my hair over my shoulder staring at my mark. I already knew what he saw before he said anything. “Your mark, it’s different” He says brushing his thumb over it and making me shiver. Mateo looks over at it before looking at Ezra.
“She is a Gemini?” He whispers confused, both of them were confused as they started back at me.
Mateo POV
She was dead, actually dead, her heart stopped and I thought I had killed her. I thought I just took her from this world and from Ezra. She was muttering under her breath, she was fine one second the next her entire body jolted, her back arching and she went limp.
Ezra tapped her face, the mark on my neck burning and Ezra clutched his as well, when suddenly her heart stopped beating. Didn’t slow, didn’t increase rapidly, just stopped along with her breathing.
“Kat,” Ezra asks, shaking her shoulders as her face pales, the colour draining out of her as she turns grey.
My stomach sinks and Ares howled agonised in my head when Ezra rips her from me. Placing her on her back before performing CPR. I completely lost it, couldn’t even function while he tried to bring her back. I just stared, panic freezing me. Each second passing felt like hours and I heard Ezra crack one of her ribs as his hands compressed her chest.
I lost all sense of time as I watched the nightmare unfold in front me. I couldn’t lose her. I only just got her, and now I was the reason she was dead. I could never live with that guilt, live with knowing I killed her and destroyed Ezra.
Ezra stops, looking at me and I brush her hair from her face where it was sticking to her, yet despite looking dead she was warm to touch still. Ezra drops his head and I could see the horror on his face, the heartbreak, his hands still on her chest.
“Kat, please” I whisper, I can’t be the reason she dies.
“Kat?” I speak praying for some miracle, praying she comes back to us. When she suddenly takes a deep breath and I see Ezra jump and I grab her face, her eyes refocusing the colour in her face returning as she gasped for air, looking at us frantically.
Relief hitting me when I hear her speak “What,… what happened?” she asks, looking at us confused.
“You were fine, you were awake then you just stopped breathing, your heart stopped”I tell her. The words leaving my lips terrifying me as I clutch her face. “You’re ok, you’re ok” I tell her pressing my head to hers, and inhaling her intoxicating scent, her calming me when I feel Ezra do the same, his hand clutching the back of my neck, his thumb brushing the back of my neck softly while he had his other hand on Kat. Relief floods me when I realise he doesn’t hate me for almost taking her from us.
“I am okay, we are all ok” She says sitting up, her voice like music to my ears, I never wanted her to stop talking, her voice calming me and Ares who was clawing at the inside of my mind, he wanted out to check for himself and make sure she was ok.
Ezra rubs her cheek softly, he was always so gentle with her, she brought out a different side to him, calmed him and Maddox. “Your mark, it’s different” He says. I lean around him as he brushes her hair aside, his thumb trailing over our bite marks, it is a deep blue colour on her skin, my bite overlapping Ezra’s when I realise where I saw the exact same marking, only the colour was different.
“She is a Gemini?” I whisper to Ezra and he looks at me before we both turn to kat, she stares back but by the look on her face she already knew what she had become. Kat chuckles and I stare at her trying to figure out what she thinks is so funny.
“You just died and you’re laughing?” Ezra asks her just as shocked as me, what the heck did she find so funny right now?
“She killed me,” Kat giggles, making me wonder if the lack of oxygen tampered with her brain. Ezra laughs nervously, it was the only way to describe his laugh, like he didn’t know what else to do as she erupted in fits of giggles over dying.
