Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 226

Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 226 – Marabella POV

Hanging up the phone, my father stared out the windscreen. His mouth opened and repeatedly closed, trying to find his words and I was honestly just as shocked as him.

“I didn’t imagine that; you saw an oversized dog on two legs too, right?” He asks, turning his head slowly to look over at me. I quickly nod, clutching my phone to my chest.

“Good, I thought I was going mad, that your mother’s crazy was rubbing off on me,” He says, letting out a breath. I raise an eyebrow at him.

“That’s it? That’s all you have to say, “

 

“Well, it could have been worse. Kyan could have shifted into a donkey or unicorn, something, at least he is kind of the right species, ” I chuckle at him, and my father scratches his chin, thoughtfully muttering under his breath before blinking rapidly and shaking his head.

“How, though? And he spoke, not well but it could talk, “

“Mum can talk in wolf form, ” I remind him.

“Exactly Marabella, wolf form, he was in… In… like in beast mode on steroids. He definitely ate his weetbix. Did you see the size of him,” I roll my eyes at him.

“Should we tell mum?”

“We should definitely tell mum, wait, are you two on talking terms, I know you had a fight, but you must tell her; she may be able to do her Moon Goddess voodoo c**p and find something out,” I sigh. He appeared to be in shock; I had never seen him ramble so much.

 

“What does Maddox think about him?” I ask.

“He thinks if we gotta fight that monster, we gonna need ya fathers help, will have to tag team that thing, I will get him from the top, ya dad can take the torso, ” he says, and I snort, covering my mouth with my hand to try to stifle my laugh.

“I ‘m being serious; he was huge,” he says, starting the car.

We told mum, well, dad did the moment we got through the door. Both mum and dad sat listening to him ramble on, asking random questions, and I eventually snuck off, unable to listen to them discuss Kaif. I felt they were wrong about him. Kaif, to me didn’t seem that bad.

Kora remained quiet, and I could tell she was actually scared of Kaif. We actually feared something more than our mat. Instead, I feared his Lycan more, yet I cou1dn’t help but think I was missing something, something important. Kyan was a witch, yet a Lycan, apparently. How was it possible to be two things at once, let alone an extinct species. Hearing my door open up, I see my mother pop her head through the crack of my open door.

“Good, you’re awake,” She says, pushing the door wider before stepping into the room. She walks over to my dresser and grabs my hairbrush before sitting on the edge of the bed.

“I already brushed it,” I tell her, and she gives me a look, and I roll my eyes before sitting between her legs on the floor. She tugs my braid out when Eziah comes into the room.

“Yes, Eziah, ” He ignores mum sitting on the floor beside me, and my mother sighs. She reaches over and chucks him a pillow, and he lays down on his side propped up on his elbow.

“Take it, dad told you?” I ask him.

“Yeah, he never talks that much, and I have never seen him look frightened before, “

“Great, I am doomed then,” I huff.

“You are not doomed, don’t say that,” My mother scolds.

“Did you know about this too?” I ask, looking up at my mother over my shoulder. She brushes my cheek gently.

“That I did not know, I knew his family came from Salem witches, but that was it, I had no idea he was a Lycan, “

” If you knew she was his mate, why do you always push her towards Jonah? ” Eziah asks, and my face heats at his words. My brother shrugs.

“Well, she does; it’s not like it is a secret; she isn’t very subtle about it,” Eziah says. Gosh, Eziah looked like my father, had the same goofy personality, and was always bubbly. My other father was like the king

of the kids. Eziah gets that outgoing personality from him, while I got mum’s curses and my father’s more reserved nature, quiet but not of my own choosing. I wish I was more like Eziah, not having a care in the world, able to have friends. It sucks always living in his shadow. Still, shadows hide monsters, and that is what I was ; it seems fitting I would be mated to a monster too.

Mum runs the brush through my hair a few times before speaking.

“When Seline was teaching me how to make the bonds, I asked about both of yours. Some fates can’t be chosen; I would have chosen Jonah if I had a choice. I tried to merge your bonds so many times; Jonah’s chased yours, but Kyan always stopped him, merging back with you, and you sought him out too. Another fate seemed to decide for you both, a fate I couldn’t tamper with, “

” So you really tried?”

“Of course I did, so did Seline. She couldn’t explain it either, and I researched Kyan’s bloodline multiple times, looking for answers but found nothing, except that his bloodline came from Salem witches, ancient strong magic, magic that doesn’t exist today, or you would think anyway. I knew it existed, though. Kyan’s father possessed the same dark energy that has always surrounded Kyan,”

“Dad said Dominic was a better man than he gave him credit for, that his father died for someone,” Mum nods her head, and Kora and I had wrestled with it all afternoon until I went back through my text messages, finding the first one Kyan ever sent me and it suddenly made sense.

“It was me, wasn’t it? Dominic died to save me,”

“It’s not your fault Marabella, you didn’t k**l him. He chose to save you; he knew you were Kyan’s mate. Dominic knew from the first time he met you that you would both be mates,”

“Is that why her mate hates her?” Eziah asks, and I look at my carpet beneath me. I knew some part of him would hate me for being why his father is d**d.

“Kyan doesn’t hate her; you can’t hate your bonded, ” I snorted. That was obviously a lie.

“He hates me, mum, he told me himself, ” “Maybe he doesn’t hate you but hates what you mean to him, what you could be to him, Marabella,
