Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 233 – Kyan POV
After dealing with Rose and explaining to Jonah what happened last night, I remained in my room trying to clean the mess Kaif made while waiting for Jonah to return. When Jonah returns, he is dressed in jeans and a dress shirt.
“Where’s Mara?” He asks, and I growl at him.
“Get over it, bro. I brought her clothes. Besides, Kaif is fine with it, and it about time you got your head around it too,”
“Kaif is not fine with it. He only agreed because he thinks you will change my mind; the answer is no, let me reject her first, then do what you want with her,” I tell him, although the words left a foul taste in my mouth.
“You seriously would go through with it, and you think Kaif will let you, “
‘Kaif is locked up nice and tight, I won’t be making that mistake again, “
“Yeah, you say that like he can’t force control,” I walk to my dresser and grab the medicine bottle from it, tossing it at him.
“Belladonna and wolfsbane, you can’t be f*cking serious, “
“He is handled, temporarily anyway.” “Don’t do it Kyan, you will regret it,”
“The only thing I regret is not doing it when she first found out, she is safest this way, and I don’t
have to feel every d**n time you touch her,” I snarl.
“You ruin every chance you have at happiness and for what some vision you had of her when you were a teen, “
“They always come true, “
“The future can change, Kyan, “
“Yes, if we change it, now go find her so we can leave soon,” I tell him, grabbing a towel and heading for my bathroom.
We all had dinner in the restaurant, Marabella and Jonah sat across from me, and Eziah next to Rose, Casen sat with a scowl on his face as he watched them talk away. What he had to be jealous of was beyond me. Eziah was her cousin, or maybe it was because she gave Eziah her attention while ignoring him. S**t would be so awkward on her eighteenth, that is for sure.
Turning my attention back to everyone else at the table, Lucas was watching me, and I raised an eyebrow at him only to see Mateo glaring daggers at me. I pick up my whiskey and take a sip. Seriously barking up the wrong tree he is.
“So Jonah, are you coming to the challenge tomorrow, ” Andrei asks, and I nod. Jonah glances at him, and Rose scowls which I thought odd; she didn’t look particularly happy about her brother taking over the pack.
“Of course, ” I tell him, and he nods.
“It will be at Noon. Did you want to stay the night? “
Sage asks me.
“No, I should get back to the City afterward,”
” Marabella is staying. Maybe you can stay with her and Jonah, ” Lucas says, and I glare at him. What the f*ck was he playing at.
“Best we keep them apart, wouldn’t want any altercations, ” Mateo says, leaning back in his chair and folding his arms across his chest.
“Yes, we wouldn’t want that would we,” I tell him watching him over the rim of my glass. Ezra looked between us both, and I had no idea what his problem was; I had barely spoken to her family and made sure I kept my distance. Mara was looking down at her plate, and I could feel how uncomfortable she was. My eyes dart to her to see Jonah place his arm across the back of her chair and grip her shoulder, he places his lips to her temple, and Mateo smirks, also looking at his daughter.
Kat nudges Mateo and nods to Maraeblla, and Mateo sighs and nods. One look from her, and he was pulled back in line. I may not have Kaif active, but her fathers were still no match for me; nobody was. My eyes dart to Maarabella at that thought. Some part of me was curious to know if she was a match on a different level, her magic similar to mine and it made me wonder how she got her hands on my family’s power.
Rose, completely oblivious to the tension, turns to face Jonah and me. “You’re staying in the City tonight, right, Jonah?” She asks. Jonah huffs before looking at his sister. I smirk, knowing she wanted something from him.
“Yes, Rose. Why?” She bats her lashes at him. “No, whatever it is, no,”
“One night, I will go home with you tomorrow, ” Jonah rolls his eyes.
“She wants to go to some disco thing upstairs, “
Andrei says.
“She is underage, ” Jonah tries to argue, and Sage nods in agreement, but Andrei catches her hand and presses his lips to it. “Casen will be with her and Jonah. Let her have some fun, love, ” Andrei tells her.
Rose looks at her mother pleadingly. “Casen?” Sage asks.
“You know she is safe with me,” He tells her, and she sighs.
“One night and no sneaking away from him like you girls did last night, ” Sage scolds, and I notice Kat glance at her daughter. Mara’s gloved hand grips her fork tightly, and her aura darkens and intensifies, Kat not missing it turns to look at me. It was clear she didn’t believe the lies she was fed about the girls, and I could see she was holding herself back from asking, whether that was for Mara’s sake or Sage’s, I didn’t know.
“You coming, Mara?” Rose asks, and my head whips in her direction. Rose was already pulling her from her seat.
” I.. um, I will probably go home with my parents,” Mara tries to say when Mateo buts in.
“No, stay with Jonah for the night; we don’t mind if you want to spend another night in the City,” Mateo says before smiling at me. Oh, I wanted to punch his smug face.
“Or do you have a problem with that, Kyan? Not like you want her or anything, ” Mateo asks, and the table falls quiet.
“Dad!” Marabella hisses.
“She can do whatever she wants, ” I tell him through gritted teeth.
“Well, that is sorted; Jonah can bring them to the challenge tomorrow, Eziah what are you wanting to do?
“Ah, are you trying to get rid of me?” Eziah asks.
