Filed to story: Fated To The Alpha Novel (Alpha Ezra & Katya) >>
When she embarrassingly shifts back in front of both of them, I hate shifting in front of people, no one wants to be seen shifting back. I stepped away from Mateo suddenly feeling very exposed as I covered my breasts and this suddenly felt indecent. Mateo must have thought the same thing because he covered himself.
I feel Ezra’s chest press against my back making me look up at him, my heart hammering in my chest as Mateo watches him cautiously.
Ezra’s lips going to my shoulder, before he kisses below my ear. “I know you love him and that is good enough for me” Ezra whispers before gripping my wrists and pulling them away from my chest. I become overwhelmed at the situation I was in, and how he put me on the spot like that and I wanted to run.
I step away from them both. “Kat?” Ezra calls when I start walking away.
“No, Ezra. All day I have been trying to figure what the hell has gotten into you and then you throw me under the bus, throw Mateo under it too” I tell him my eyes brimming with tears at the embarrassment and what if Mateo didn’t want this, he was also put in an awkward situation.
“Tell me you don’t love him then” Ezra says and I see Mateo look at me. Kora whines in my head but I ignore her.
“You already know I do, but I don’t know what you were trying to prove by doing this” I tell him, turning around and heading for the house.
“I’m not trying to prove anything Kat, I am saying you can mark him if he wants you to and if you want too” Ezra says and I stop looking at him. Mateo also turns, staring at him like he just grew three heads and pair of bat wings.
“You could have asked first instead of doing this” I tell him before walking off. I heard him sigh and I felt terrible walking away and hoped Mateo didn’t think I was rejecting him but I just couldn’t deal with the way this situation was handled. Ezra could have asked, or just said something to us instead of just throwing it out there randomly.
I head inside and run up the stairs toward the bedroom. ‘Kat Calm down, Maddox is fine with it’ Kora tells me.
‘He didn’t even ask Kora he just put me on the spot and what if I wanted to say no or Mateo did, do you have any idea how awkward things would become’ I tell her.
‘He could have handled it better I admit’ She says and I walk into the bathroom turning the shower before remembering the door and quickly locking it.
“Kat?” Mateo mindlinks.
“Yes, Mateo” I asked as I stepped into the shower.
“I swear I didn’t know he was going to do that, I never asked him to”
“I know that” I tell him suddenly feeling guilty I walked away from him.
“Mateo.. I” He cuts the link abruptly, my head becoming my own and I am smashed with guilt, smashed with emotions I couldn’t understand.
Ezra POV
She walked away, leaving us both standing there. I knew she loved Mateo but now I was second guessing my decision or did I read it completely wrong. Mateo was staring after her and I felt terrible that I had now caused a rift between them.
“It would never work you know?” Mateo says, looking at me.
“You don’t know that, it could work. Maddox accepts it, you’re my best friend Mateo” I tell him.
“And that is exactly why it wouldn’t work, you’re straight Ezra and willing to share your Mate? Relationships only work when they aren’t divided, this whatever you were trying to do wouldn’t work because you are straight, you would get sick of sharing, I know you Ezra. I know Maddox, and what happens if she showed more attention to one, how would Maddox handle that? You expect her to mark me and everything will be fine afterwards when we are not bonded, jealousy kills you should know that by now, look at her mother” Mateo says before turning on his heel and walking inside.
‘Yep told you, and now Kat is P!ssed off with us’ Maddox says.
‘She will get over it’
‘You embarrassed her, put her on the spot, Ezra might take her awhile to get over it’ he tells me.
Walking inside, I go look for her. I head for the bedroom. Pushing the bedroom door open I can hear the shower running and grip the door handle to find it locked.
‘Yep she’s P!ssed off, she never locks the door’ Maddox growls. Looking up at the bedroom door when I hear footsteps, I see Mateo walk out of his room with a pair of shorts on, he comes over sticking his head into the bedroom door.
“Where are you going?” I ask him hoping he isn’t going to get wasted again.
“Patrol duty, they are short Steven’s mate just went into labour” Mateo says and I nod.
“Rightio, I will catch you later then” I tell him and he nods walking off and down the stairs.
“Kat, can we talk please” I call through the door when I hear the shower cut off.
“Later, I am getting ready to go see Jasmine and Angie” She says before opening the door, she steps out in just a towel before pushing past me and walks into the walk-in.
“Where are you going? I don’t like you going off by yourself without me or Mateo”
“Well you kind of ruined it with Mateo didn’t you and I know you don’t want to hang out with a bunch of girls, so I am going on my own, Angie is picking me up in 20 minutes” She tells me and I press my lips in a line. Maddox growls on edge at the thought of her going off on her own.
‘We can always follow and keep our distance’ Maddox says “But she would know we were close, I will ask one of the guards to keep an eye on them’ I tell him and he nods.
I watch as she gets dressed in jeans and a blue shirt before she sits on the end of the bed putting her shoes on.
“So where are you going exactly?” I ask her and her eyes flick to me before going back to her hands where she was tying her laces.
“Cafe in town then Angie wants to go watch movies at Jasmines” She tells me and I nod. Well at least Mathias would be home or his mate.
Kat POV
Angie picked me up in her little blue suzuki swift and I could tell Ezra was P!ssed off. I was going off on my own but I didn’t care. Pulling up at Jasmine’s place she honked the horn before Jasmine came rushing out before jumping in the back.
“My ladies,” Jasmine says, sitting in the middle and leaning forward between the seats.
“Seatbelt b*tch,” Angie says and Jasmine rolls her eyes before clipping her belt in and leaning forward again.
“Are we going to CJ’s?” Jasmine asks.
“Yep, they have the best burgers” Angie says with a sigh making me chuckle.
“What they do, where is my brother?” Angie asks, her eyes going to the mirror as she looks at Jasmine making me remember that Angie’s brother was Jasmine’s mate.
“Helping my father down at the practise” Jasmine says with a shrug when Jasmine turns to me.
“How is Mateo?” She asks and I explain the entire thing with Ezra and both girls were just as gobsmacked as I was when chucked on the spot.
“Not the strangest thing I have heard, but I kinda feel bad for Mateo, would suck killing your mate knowing there are no second chance mates only chosen mates once they die” Angie says.
“Yeah I don’t get that you would think the moon goddess would have a back up plan, and my dad had two mates” I tell them.
“Yeah but his mates were basically the same person, they were identical weren’t they?” Says Jasmine and I nod.
“Are your parents talking again?” Angie asks as we pull up at the cafe, I shrug. It had red and white umbrellas out the front, and round tables. With a huge red and white sign on the roof that read CJ’S CAFE.
“Too hot outside lets sit inside” Jasmine says hopping out of the car.
