“She doesn’t have to Shirley I can excuse her” Alpha Ezra says and I give my mother a pleading look. My mother presses her lips in a line but nods. “Come sit on the bleachers and watch” Alpha Ezra tells me and I nod following him over to them before sitting down. I watch everyone train Alpha Ezra gets up a few times to help some of the teachers and to correct some of the students. When he comes back over though he looks down at me. “How are you liking school so far?” “It’s fine” I tell him, not really comfortable around him. I see my mother keeps looking over at me nervously. “You train a lot with your mother?” He asks and I nod. “Yes mum doesn’t like me missing training as you can see” I tell him and he nods. “Good, well you can have today and tomorrow off but on wednesday you can start training” He says and I nod. I notice Angie come over stopping in front of me and I notice the glare she gives me. “You should be training Angie, get back on the field” Ezra tells her. “I was just seeing if you can come help me Ezra” She purrs and it’s obvious the crush she has on him. “That’s Alpha! get back on the field now” He tells her pointing back the way she came. She looks down at me, her eyes narrowing before she saunters off. I knew she was going to make my life hell and I haven’t even spoken to her. “Well I better get back out there Kat, I will see you around” He says walking off toward my mother who was now scolding Angie for walking off the field. When training finishes my mother calls me over. I walk over to her and she grabs my arm pulling me aside. “For someone meant to be lying low you seem to be grabbing the Alpha’s attention Kat, we talked about this you need to stay away from him and Beta. We can’t afford for people to know just yet” She tells me. “Well maybe if you told them I wouldn’t have to hide” I tell her and it isn’t like I seeked him out, he approached me. “Attitude young lady, I won’t handle disrespect” She says and I roll my eyes. “Katya you may be my daughter doesn’t mean you will get away with slacking off, now ten laps of the oval” She says. “What? Come on mum, you can’t be serious” I argue back when his scent hits me. Alpha Ezra walks up behind me and stops beside me. “Everything okay?” He asks my mother, she bows her head in respect. “Yes Alpha it will be, now go Katya” She says pointing to the edge of the field. I take my jumper off before tossing it at her, she can’t be F*cking serious. Why Was she being like this? “Make that 20” She calls out. I groan but go to the edge of the field cursing her name. “Keep going Kat and it will be thirty, now start running” I roll my eyes and start doing laps. Jasmine does a couple with me before getting tired and sitting down. My legs burned by the time I did 15 and my lungs felt like they were about to explode. Stopping I brace my hands on my knees trying to catch my breath. My mother blows her whistle grabbing my attention. “5 more Kat,” “This is bullSh*t” I mutter. “You want me to add more” My mother calls out. I shake my head and continue running around the oval. Alpha Ezra I noticed was in the bleachers watching and by the look on his face something had P!ssed him off. Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 6 By the time I finally finished my face was bright red and my breathing was coming in short pants as I collapsed on my back on the grass beside my mother. She looks down at me. “Just remember Kat, I am doing this for your own good. I go easy on you, the rest of the kids will be hard on you. Also I couldn’t exactly let you talk to me like that and get away with it especially in front of other students, you need to work with me here” “But I didn’t do anything, he approached me not the other way around” “Doesn’t matter next time, watch your tone” My mother says before walking off. “Shirley, can I speak with you please” Alpha Ezra says, making me turn my head to the side to see him walking over to her. “Of course Alpha,” My mother says. Alpha Ezra looks over at me dying on the ground and I look away. Jasmine walks over handing me her drink bottle and I squirt some water into my mouth before sitting up. “Man and i thought my dad was strict, what you get in trouble for” “Apparently my attitude” I tell her and her brows furrow.   “But you didn’t do anything” She states. “Tell my mother that” I told her before standing, my legs felt like jelly as I walked toward the building. School finished an hour ago so I was a little shocked to run into Angie as I went to my locker. Her blonde hair highlighted to perfection, her blue eyes bright I could see why she was so popular, she was gorgeous but the snarl on her face said her nature was anything but. I open my locker only to be shoved against it. Jasmine pushes her away but that doesn’t stop her as she grabs the front of my shirt tearing the collar. “Stay away from the Alpha b*tch, or I will make your life miserable” She spits at me. “You stayed back an hour after school just to tell me that, geez possessive much” I tell her, ripping her hand away and turning to retrieve my stuff. “Angie go away, she hasn’t done anything, what is it pick on the new girl day, geez she just ran 20 laps of the field, lay off her” Jasmine tells her. Angie grabs my hair and I hiss as I feel my hair being ripped from my skull, turning my hair painfully ripping from my head when I punch her. She shrieks clutching her nose. I was so not in the mood and besides, my mother did tell me to use my fists. “You F*cking slut” She says wiping her lip as blood trickled down her chin. Angie swings at me but I duck and her fist connects with my locker door. “What’s going on here?” I hear a voice and look up at Beta Mateo walking down the corridor. “The b*tch punched me,” Angie tells him. “Is this true?” He asks Jasmine and I. “She started it, she grabbed Kats hair and threatened her,” Jasmine tells him. I keep my mouth shut just as my mother and Alpha Ezra walk around the corner. Angie runs to his side but he steps away from her. “She hit me, your daughter hit me,” Angie said to my mother. I was expecting my mother to yell and scream at me at her words but I had to try and hold my laugh when she replied. “Well then you must have deserved it” My mother tells her. That’s my mumma. On field she is tough but off field she was my mother. “Go put ice on it and Angie stay away from Katya in the future” Alpha Ezra tells her. Angie ran off with tears in her eyes and I kind of felt bad for her but that lasted a second before my mother spoke. “Katya trouble on your first day, gosh” ,My mother says. “Angie attacked her first” Jasmine blurts out once again coming to my defence, and the more I am around her the more I am starting to like her. “That may very well be but you know I don’t condone violence off field, you will have detention with me tomorrow Kat” Alpha Ezra says. My mother says nothing but I watch her lips pressed together. Jasmine ducks her head looking at the ground. “What about Angie, that’s unfair she started it”
