Filed to story: Fated To The Alpha Novel (Alpha Ezra & Katya) >>
Vince, Vince went missing a year ago. Just up and left, and nobody had seen him since. Every time I asked dad to send out scouts looking for him, he always said he would come back when he was ready.
“I shouldn’t have told her. Your father told me not to, but I did, and now she has run from me, ” Eziah and I stared at him for a second, and I looked at Eziah wondering if he had one of his grandiose visions again. He shrugged, so I turned back to Casen, but he got up, chugging the rest of his coffee before walking off.
“Lets go,” Casen says, stomping off among the trees. Drinking the rest of my coffee, I followed.

I felt like I was breathing in water. It was that steamy and hot I shrugged my shirt and tied it around my head to stop the sweat from getting in my eyes. It was now lunch time as we navigated our way through. Casen ran ahead of us, but I didn’t want to shift yet, and neither did Eziah. We were running low on clothes. We would stuff them in logs, but they were always missing when we returned. Not only that, I was worried about Jax eating something. My stomach had been turning all day, and the last thing
I wanted was to throw my guts up and bring up whatever he chewed on.
Glancing over at Eziah, he appeared deep in thought. “Oi, are you searching or just walking around half asleep?” I snapped at him.
“I was thinking,” Eziah retorted, and I rolled my eyes.
“Well, don’t think too hard. I wouldn’t want you to give yourself a headache,” Eziah growled.
“Actually, I take that back. A head like that should ache,” I chuckled before he pelted me with a rock.
“Chill, I was only playing. Man, you have been a real d**k this entire time,” I snarled at him, rubbing my side where it hit me.
“Between you and mum always breathing down my b****y neck, I wonder why,”
“Is that why your mother put you with us?” I asked him.
“No, I asked to be placed with you and Casen,”
“You’re telling me that she wanted you to stay with her, but you hand-selected us to be sleep deprived?”¡® I said. Pain rippled through me, and I clutched my side and stopped, waiting for it to pass.
“You okay?” Eziah called out. I waved him off.
“Just a stitch from walking,” I told him. The crunch of twigs and leaves told me he was making his way through the thick brush to me.
“I’m fine,” I told him, catching my breath when I saw his outstretched hand reaching toward me.
“You have been getting them for hours,” Eziah said, also not looking to c***h hot himself.
“It’s fine,” I repeated. Yet the aches and pains started early this morning, and I could feel that Kyan was anxious, but Kaif was still under control. Though he was angry, I could feel that much, but Kyan’s distress made me feel sick.
“This is pointless,” Eziah says, stretching his back.
“I can’t believe he still hasn’t told us what is going on and why she ran. Don’t you think it is a little odd?”
Eziah asked, and I shrugged.
“That’s Casen and Rose’s business,” I told him.
“Yeah, but I don’t get why it is a secret,” “Probably the same reason you won’t tell me about your nightmares. They are a secret,” I deadpan.
“They aren’t nightmares,” he said, and I raised an eyebrow at him. He brushed his fingers through his hair.
“They are like some out-of-body experience,” he says. Okay, he was bat s**t crazy, must get it from his mother’s side.
“Okay then,” I tell him.
“No, I am being serious. This is why I have told no one. No one would believe me,” Eziah shakes his head before kicking a rock.
“Fine, I will give you the benefit of the doubt here and say you aren’t nuts, so explain,” I tell him as I continue walking. Swatting flies and insects as I went, the place was full of them, and don’t get me started on the blood-sucking mozzies.
“I become her,” he says. Did he just say he becomes her? As in a woman?

Read ¨C “You become a woman?” Holy s**t, he really is crazy. I keep my face neutral, not wanting to hurt his feelings. No, her feelings?
“I am being serious, Jonah,” Eziah says, stopping. I looked over at him and he really was bothered by whatever was happening to him. He shook his head after I watched him for a second.
“Forget it,” he says as he stomps past me. I grabbed his arm.
“No, I can see it is bothering you, so tell me.”
“You will just laugh,”
“I won’t, promise,” Eziah raises an eyebrow at me before noticing I was being serious, and he sighs.
“I can feel her. Everything she feels, I feel like I am trapped in her body. I can even see what she sees, sort of,”
“Who?”
“My mate and I can’t help her,”
“But you haven’t met your mate yet?”
“Not in person. I don’t know how to explain it, but I know she is my mate because my wolf goes berserk wanting to help her.”
“What do you mean, and how long have you had these out-of-body things for?”
“Two years, but they weren’t frequent, but lately they are constant every night,” he explains.
“Have you told your mother? Maybe she can help?”
“No, I can’t. You know how the future changes. I probably shouldn’t even tell you. I know mum will interfere and put me on m********n to help me, but I can’t lose the connection to her; I need to know she is okay or at least alive,” Eziah explains.
“So what happens in them?” I asked, not wanting to know, but maybe it might help if he could talk about it. Whatever it is, it is bad because it affects him this way.
“It’s so dark where she is, but it’s¡ I don’t know. Sometimes they drag her out and hurt her, but mostly she is in the dark, scared.” My brows furrow in confusion.
