Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 223

Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 223 – I hadn’t even got in the car when I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket. Pulling it out, the screen read Kyan. He had sent a text message, and my stomach instantly dropped. My hands shook as I opened the message.

Kyan: Regret is horrible to live with, and you will regret what you have done.

“You ok?” my father asks, and I pocket the phone swallowing down the bile that rose up the back of my throat, and I nodded to my father, who was watching me above the roof of his car.

“Yeah, fine,” I tell him before opening the car door and slipping into the passenger seat. My father hops in and starts the car before backing out of his parking space. He then pulled onto the main road.

“Something is wrong. Who was the text message from, Kyan?” My observant father asks. He was the hardest to pretend everything was peachy, nothing escaped him, and that’s why most uncomfortable talks usually came from him. I could get away with hiding away because he was hardly home, but when he was, he constantly questioned, always watched, so I had to put on the best act.

 

“It was Kyan, wasn’t it,” my father states, and I look out the window watching the City pass by as we drive toward the City borders.

“Yeah, it was Kyan,” I murmur before retrieving my phone and looking down at the phone. I hadn’t replied, and even if I did, exactly what would I say. It doesn’t change anything, I can’t take it back, and I didn’t want to.

“It’s painful; it would have caused him pain, Jonah should have known better, but I have a sneaky suspicion Jonah wanted him to know,” my father says while navigating the streets, and I look over at him.

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Jonah has been in love with you since he was a kid, I also know finding out your best friend is mated to the woman you love wouldn’t have been easy for him, especially knowing it was Kyan. I think he wanted Kyan to know your reaction to him, sneaky little s**t.”

“I still don’t understand,” I tell him. My father glances at me before he sighs.

 

“Did you know Kyan was my mate?”

“Your mother loves you, Marabella; she didn’t keep it from you intentionally,”

“So you did know?”‘ I ask, shaking my head. Was I the only one that didn’t?

“No, well, not for sure anyway, your mother never confirmed it. But you need to understand, sometimes information is key, sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes knowing too much can alter things onto a different path, one that is worse because you think you know when really you don’t,”

“You and mum always speak in riddles,”‘ I mutter and roll my eyes. Why not just come out and say it?

“Your mother knew when you were a baby, she couldn’t say anything because it could alter fate, change things, and not always for the best. You need to trust that whatever she does or doesn’t do is in your best interest. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing.”

“If mum knew, why does she always try to push me toward Jonah,” My father shrugs and seems to think for a second before answering.

“Because sometimes things should be altered, I have no idea whatever your mother saw, but she isn’t very subtle when it comes to you and Jonah,”

“So your not even sure why she told you nothing?” I ask, slightly shocked, I thought my parents had no secrets, yet she kept secrets from them too.

“Whatever she saw, Jonah must have been the better option, or at least needed to be a part of the options, I’m not sure. Your mother has to be careful with what she says to even me; if I give you the wrong information, it could alter everything, she creates bonds, but she never takes choice.”

“But I have a mate; if mum didn’t bond me to Kyan, then who did?”

“Kyan did, that’s all she told me, I asked her the same thing, thinking it was her doing, but she told me she tried to pair you with Jonah, that Seline the old Moon Goddess also tried, yet you and Kyan kept seeking each other out, drawn towards each other like magnets; after a while you both fused together, she couldn’t separate you, but she told me she tried,”

“So I am doomed to be with Kyan. It would be so much easier if we could just pick our own mates,”

“Why can’t you? If Kyan agrees, why can’t you be with Jonah?”

“Because he is not my mate, and what would happen to Kyan?”‘ I ask him with a sigh.

“You know dad wasn’t my mate, right? Well, he is but also wasn’t. It is complicated,” my father says, and my head snapped to the side to look at him.

“But we have his DNA too,” my father nods his head and shrugs.

“You can’t say that then not tell me. Does Eziah know?”

“No, it makes no difference. We are all mates, and we didn’t feel the need to tell you, kids.”

“So what? Mum picked dad, and you just decided to mark him?”‘ I ask.

“Not exactly; your father was a chosen bond, I never understood either but in a sense, I do now, you know of the curse,” I nod. Yes, I was well aware of the curse that was placed on our bloodline, the one that turned me into this freak.

“Well, for the curse to be broken, your mother had to become a Gemini wolf,” I nod, knowing that part.

“Well, for to become a Gemini wolf, she had to have dark and light mates. Every curse has a loophole,”

“So, dad, was the loophole?”

“No, dad was Bisexual. He always had two mates. The first one he k****d to save your mother, he chose her over his own mate, but your father was originally bonded to me, just I couldn’t feel it, he knew for years and kept it from me.”

“But how didn’t you feel it?”

“Because I was straight for one, and because your mother was my fated mate, she was already destined to be with me, Mateo being Bisexual, could choose, his female mate or male mate, he chose your mother k*****g his mate, and it somehow forged the bond with your mother, he already had feelings for your mother, at first he was jealous of her, but once he met her he forged a bond with her, and in turn, I was able to feel the bond through your mother, which was not easy since I was straight and suddenly turning bisexual but only for your father, other men I feel no attraction for, helps that we were best friends,”

“So you just accepted it?” My father shakes his head.

“No, I tried to keep them separated. Maddox hated the idea, he was too possessive, but Seline told us she threw us a bone. It turns out your mother’s entire bloodline had two mates. The fated mates never accepted each other, so Seline decided to dabble with the fates, twist it if you will because she liked your mother, she didn’t want the curse to k**l her too, so instead of making two strangers accept each other, she made us best friends, and instead of bonding two people to your mother, she bonded your father to me and me to him when I found my mate, I just couldn’t recognize him until she accepted him but Mateo was supposed to be bonded to us both, but if I couldn’t accept or Maddox history would have repeat itself, and you would be the one trying to break that curse, and your mother would be d**d,”

“So what about dad’s first, mate?”

“She was never intended for him, she was just a detour, Seline told us, a way for Mateo to prove his love for your mother; basically Seline sacrificed her, which sounds horrible, but if you ever go to the Moon Goddess realm, you will understand, your mother was supposed to be his other mate just like me, though if history was anything to go off, it would have gone tragically wrong, and I would have k****d your father and in turn condemned your mother,”

“So I don’t get it. Who was the chosen mate?”

“Your father, and your mother, I had to choose him, and he had to choose her,”

“Huh, but Kyan and Jonah are different, though. Neither of them is bisexual,” I tell him.

“But they are friends, that could be enough, you’re not cursed, so they don’t have to be mates; they just need to accept that they can share. D**n, that sounds so weird to say,” my father says, and I chuckle.

“Why is that weird? You have two mates,” I laugh.

“Probably because you are my daughter, I don’t like the idea of you being with any man, let alone two; that’s just two a******s I have to f**k up if they break your heart,” I chuckle and shake my head.

“Mum said chosen bonds are stronger. Do you believe that?” I ask him.

“In a sense, they are basically the same; I love your mother and father exactly the same, and the bond is exactly the same, it’s just I don’t know even, not like loving one more but loving them for different reasons, seeing them differently yet the same, without the other, they wouldn’t be whole in a sense,”

“So the whole light and dark, and I am guessing you are the dark,”

“No, whatever gave you that idea?” my father laughs. I raise an eyebrow at him.

“Yes, your father was the good easy- going one, while I am, let’s say, what is that term,”

“Complicated, which exactly explains yours and mum’s and dad’s relationship. It’s complicated,” I chuckle.

“Hmm, I wonder if I should make that f******k official, change it to its complicated,”

“Not if you value your life, pretty sure mum may take that the wrong way,”

“Oh, she definitely would, I could already imagine the s*x silence she would put me in,”

“Ew, not a picture I wanted,”

“Then don’t ever watch our home videos; they will definitely leave a bad image in your head,” my father laughs at the look on my face.

“No, there are no videos. Your mother made me delete it, but don’t tell her I backed it up on the cloud and kept a copy, but since you know now, do me a favor and delete the video called birthday suit. It isn’t a streaking video; just delete and don’t tell your mother,” I blink at him, unsure if he is being serious.

“Oh and the one, called dad’s birthday surprise part two, just delete that one as well,”

“Are you being serious?” I ask him.

“Yes, but don’t tell your mother I have them. I told her I deleted them,” He says, and I shake my head.

“What everyone does it, I’m sure it isn’t that odd of a thing to do,”

“What, to film yourselves, what if someone found them,”

“Yeah, that happened already. Your uncle Andrei saw a bit more of your mother than he wanted to, he has never let me live it down, and that is exactly why your mother made me delete them,” I pull a face at that and shake my head.

“Ok, subject change, I did not need to know that information,”

“But you did, what if I died tomorrow and you stumbled across them, now you know to delete, see saved you from having that image in your head,” He laughs.
