Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 234

Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 234 – Marabella POV

I didn’t want to dance, but Jonah pulled me over to the dancefloor anyway; I cou1dn’t dance to save my life. “What’s wrong?” Jonah asks, and I shake my head, not wanting to draw attention to the fact Kyan was glaring at him. I had managed to ignore him all night, but I could feel his gaze boring into us; the room felt suffocating with his presence despite its size.

I nod toward Rose, who had been pulled away from Casen by some man. Jonah rolls his eyes at his sister while Casen looks as though he is about to tear the man to shreds.

“Casen will sort it,” Jonah says, tugging me closer, I could feel the buzz in the room, and I glance at Kyan over Jonah’s shoulder.

“Maybe we should go sit down; Kyan keeps glaring at us, I don’t want to upset him”

 

“He will get over it. Besides, Kaif said he was planning on rejecting you anyway. Why care what he thinks?” Jonah says his words a growl. I chew my lip worriedly; that didn’t mean we should upset him.

“Mara, stop just ignore him until he pulls his head out of his a*s, he needs to man up or just get it over with,”

“Get what over with, rejecting me?” I snap at him.

“I have not once denied my feelings for you, and kyan knows how I feel about you, “

“Yes, but what if he doesn’t reject me, Jonah, we can’t just, “

“Can’t what? Be together?” I nod.

 

“I know you want Kyan, and I am fine sharing, but if you don’t want this, Marabella, let me know now because I am done with waiting on Kyan to make his mind up.”

“I do want to be with you, I always have, but Kyan- ” My words are cut off by his lips crashing against my own. I gasp, shocked at his display in front of Kyan when he tugs me closer, deepening the kiss. I push on his chest.

“Jonah, ” I mumble around his lips.

“He needs to either accept it or let you go, Mara. I am done waiting for his approval, and you should be too,” Jonah says when suddenly yelling starts up behind us. I glance over my shoulder to see Casen punch the man Rose was dancing with.

“Oh, for fcks sake, ” Jonah mutters.

“Stay here, I will be back, ” Jonah says us leaving me on the dancefloor while he makes his way over to Casen and Rose to break up the fight. I sigh about to go back to the bar and get a drink, only stopping when I see Kyan and the woman from earlier with her hands all over him.

My stomach drops when I see his hand on her hip. He tugs her closer, and the woman giggles when my heart sinks, plunging somewhere deep and shriveling up when he grabs her before kissing her. Pain radiates through me, and I take a step back as bile rises in my throat.

I felt like I was going to be sick, yet I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the woman as her hands roamed over his chest, tugging him closer when Kyan grabbed her a*s, and she was practically straddling his lap. Kora growls, but it turns to a whimpered sob, and I clutch my chest.

I couldn’t catch my breath, couldn’t tear my eyes away from them, yet I needed to move when I felt Kora lurch forward. My fear from the other night comes back, and I take off, running for the doors leading out of the room.

“Kora, stop, ” I begged her as tears burned my eyes as I tried to find the elevator to go to Jonah’s apartment, people stared and I felt my face heat with embarrassment that all these people and their judging eyes stared at me.

I must look pathetic running through the halls crying over someone that clearly doesn’t want me. Getting to the next floor, I finally find an elevator before noticing a security guard. I stop, tapping him on the shoulder, and he sniffs the air.

“You okay, Love?” He asks and I can barely speak when the pain suddenly stops.

“The penthouse apartment, I don’t have a key for the elevator, ” I tell him.

“That area is off-limits to patrons,”

“My mate, um Jonah, mindlink Jonah he will confirm I can go up there, tell him it’s Mara,” I rub my arms suddenly feeling cold, really cold like some part of me died, and I cou1dn’t get the image out of them out of my head.

“Kyan said the spare key is in the potplant by the door, ” the security guard says, and I blink at him.

“I said to speak to Jonah, “

“I couldn’t reach him; he shoved me out,” the security guard snaps at me.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean, ” I stop myself from making an even bigger fool of myself.

“It’s fine, been a hectic night,” The guard says when the elevator doors open. He places a key in the panel, and I thank him when he sets the elevator to the penthouse floor. I lean against the wall as it goes up, and Kora continues to whimper in my head. Her pain became mine, and I hated how much pain it caused me hearing her cry out like that for our mate, yet also for Jonah, hoping he could take it away.

I felt hollow, empty, the void inside growing larger as I stepped out of the elevator. Who was I if I wasn’t even good enough for my mate? I wasn’t even worth loving by the one person who should love me unconditionally.

I rummage through the leaves of the plant next to the door, my fingers scouring the soil before finding the key. I placed it in the lock and twisted before pushing the door open and stepping into the darkened apartment. Turning, I go to close the door only for it to swing inward, barely missing me. The man of the hour, the one that caused my pain came stalking toward me.

“Fcking hurts, doesn’t it?” He snarls, and I take a step back away from him. The energy rippling out of him made the lights flick on and off like an energy surge.

“Now you know how it fcking feels, every fcking time you touch him, it was bad enough behind my back but in fcking front me!” he screams. Kora snarls in my head at his words, her anguish twisting to anger.

“Fcking say something! ” he screams at me, and the lights suddenly burst, plunging us back into darkness except for his fluorescent eyes that had turned gold, burning like embers of flame when he grabs me.

“Speak, Marabella. You had no problem flaunting Jonah in front of me like some w***e, and now what, you are too fcking scared to speak,” I push him.

“A w***e? You have the audacity to call me a w***e when you just kissed that s***k in front of me for what you think I did or didn’t do,” I spit at him.

” So you know how it fcking feels, you think I like seeing you with Jonah? Do you have any idea how much that fcking hurts? ” he grabs both my arms, his hands shaking and the heat of them burns my skin.

“Probably the same way it hurts not being wanted by the one person who is meant to want you, the same way it feels every time you fcking push me away and reject me without rejecting me, ” I yell at him before shoving him off.

Kyan laughs the sound manic, and his laughter scares me more than his yelling.

“Reject you? I told you I was doing that for you; I am not safe to be with Marabella, you know it, I know it, your fcking mother knows it, but you want a mate, that’s what you want?” Kyan says while taking his jacket off. Startled I step away from him before glancing at the door.

“What are you doing Kyan, your drunk. Just leave,” I stammer out.

“No, you won’t listen, you want your mate? I am giving you what you fcking want; maybe then you will fcking see,” He snarls, reaching for me. I take another step glancing at the door, wondering what my chance of escape is before I run.

Adrenaline pounded through my veins as flight and fight kick in, and I chose flight, knowing I am no match for the monster he is capable of being. I was near to the door when he caught me, his arms wrapping around my waist, and I clutched the door frame when he rips me away before dumping me on the couch.

“This what you want, Marabella?” He snarls, undoing his belt, and I kick him, but he grabs my ankle shoving it down, and pressing his knee on my t***h.

“What is wrong Mara, not gentle enough, I fcking warned you, but no, you don’t fcking listen, you want a monster I will give you a fcking monster, ” He growls, making goosebumps rise on my skin as I try to kick him off but he grabs my legs, his touch burns, and thrills despite what he was doing or trying to do when I rip my gloves off. Kyan reaches for my hands, and we struggle.

“Your magic won’t save you, Ella; we are made of the same power. Your power is useless on me,” Kyan snarls ripping the gloves off himself. His chest rises and falls rapidly as he pushes my skirt up, and my hand moves quickly as I slap him. The sound seemed to echo around the room, and he stopped baring his teeth and growling at me.

“Enough, now get off me, Kyan, ” I yell at him, struggling against his weight.
