Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 235

Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 235 – I stared around at the destruction of what was left of the encounter with Kyan. I didn’t know what to think. I was completely numb. Or maybe I was used to his cruel ways; I had grown accustomed to it, I hoped not, but the moment Jonah walked into the apartment, I became more lost. I didn’t know how to explain what happened, and by the look on his face, I was too scared to mention what Kyan did.

Jonah walked through the door, glass crunching under his boots as he looked at the ground and examined the doorway, m y claw marks along the frame stood out. I hadn’t even noticed until he brushed his fingers over them before spotting me in my state of undress. His entire body trembled, and at first, I thought he was angry at me for what happened when his fist suddenly went through the wall next to the entryway.

“I’ll f*****g k**l him,” Jonah roared, making me jump. Jonah moves toward me before gripping my arms and then my face.

“Are you hurt? I can smell his blood, but “he lifts my arms and opens my torn top, searching for injuries.

“I am fine; it’s his, not mine,” I explain, but he growls at the scratches lining my chest and waist, touching them gently with his fingertips.

 

“Nothing about this fine. What did he do? I tried to get here as quick as possible, but we had a power surge, the elevators reset, and I had to wait for the power to come back on downstairs, the fire escapes locked too,” I shake my head, too embarrassed and ashamed to say it out loud.

“Mara, tell me,”

“Nothing, I dealt with it. I am fine,”

“Don’t do that, not with me, don’t push away what you’re feeling, you don’t need to hide with me; I know what he is capable of, Mara,” Yet I shake my head, it was partially my fault. I never should have let Jonah and I get so close, I should have realized what he was and why he is the way he is.

“Fine, don’t tell me; I already know. You forget I can feel him, feel his intentions, Mara, but it doesn’t matter. I will deal with it,” Jonah says.

“You can’t, Kaif ”

 

“Oh, believe me, Kaif is tearing him apart enough as it is,”

“How do you know?” I ask him, rubbing a hand down my face when Jonah lifts his shirt, red and black angry lines run down his chest and waist, already scaring his body in black tendril-like veins.

“Because these only happen when Kaif is pissed yet for once it isn’t at me,”

“Kaif, did that?”

“Yes, he wants out, and Kyan p******d him, but when he does, Kyan wanna pray Kaif isn’t as suicidal as he is homicidal,” Jonah says.

“Come on, let’s get you cleaned up,” Jonah says before reaching down and scooping me off the couch. I yelp, not expecting it, and I grab the back of his neck. Jonah growls, sniffing me and running his nose across my chest.

“He will pay for this,” Jonah growls.

Jonah POV

I waited for Marabella to fall asleep before leaving her. She was too scared to touch me, too afraid to even be too close to me, and spent the majority of the night trying to avoid being near. Almost like she thought Kyan would jump out and try to take her by force again.

I knew he wouldn’t go through with it, and I knew that without a doubt. I felt his intentions to scare her. Kyan was trying to scare her away, but that did not make what he did right.

When will he see that he is the cause for the damage? He thinks he will k**l her. I can tell you now that driving her away is k*****g her more than any physical d***h. She hides it well, but I see the pain behind her eyes every time she looks at Kyan, the guilt behind them every time she looks at me like she was somehow betraying him by wanting me as well.

Pulling up out the manor’s front, I noticed a few lights on. I could hear the yelling from inside the house. The moment I stepped inside, the harsh bite of the cold seeped into me, and my breath left smoke clouds in the air. He was deconstructing, or should I say Kaif was deconstructing him.

I grab the banister as I climb the stairs; the wood is so cold I jerk my hand back, the coldness burning into my palm.” F**k”I curse under my breath. This place has never felt so cold to me before. It always felt off, the ripple of energy in the air almost toxic most of the time, but this place felt like d***h, cold, vacant, and lonely.

Rounding the corner on the stairs, I see Kyan’s bedroom door open. However, the noise came from the floor above. About to climb the next set of stairs, I catch sight of Lucas out of the corner of my eye. He steps out of Kyan’s room and freezes for a second before realizing it is me and letting out a breath.

I noticed Kyan’s phone clutched in his hands and the screen was on. “Phew, it’s just you. Ah, Kyan is upstairs. Kaif and he are arguing, been at it for a while.” He says and I point to Kyan’s phone in his hands.

“Oh, just putting it on charge for him; he will need it for tomorrow,” He answers before rushing past me and down the stairs. I was nearly tempted to ask if Kyan knew he had it. Kyan was strange with his phone and I often joked he had a secret p**n stash on it with how protective he was of it.

Sighing, I let it go and continued my climb of the steps stopping outside the Alter as Kyan called it. I just referred to the room as a creepy witch voodoo storage room. Pushing the door open, I step inside only for a rush of air to slam me against the wall, pinning me. Kaif fluorescent gold swirling patterned eyes pinning me in place. Kaif was in control of Kyan’s body; I had seen it plenty of times but never witnessed Kaif using Kyan’s magic on himself.

Kaif was powerful, more destructive than Kyan, and sometimes Kyan needed to realize his control of Kaif was because Kaif allowed it. Sure he managed to tame the beast in a sense. Still, Kaif was never one to be controlled, he was not a puppet and he had beliefs and thoughts of his own, power of his own that could only be controlled by the talisman that Kyan tossed away thoughtlessly not understanding the true power behind it.

Even now, we didn’t understand the talisman’s true meaning for existence, only that it kept Kaif from using his own magic bestowed to him by the G*d Hades. What a s**t storm that arrangement was.

Kyan and Kaif possessed the powers of demi-goddess Celeste his so many whatever relation and that of the g*d of D***h Hades, his distant grandfather. Celestes mate, A true g*d, and now one mistake on Celeste’s behalf had left a reigning terror on the Octavian bloodline.

Octavian was Hade’s surname of choosing when he roamed the earth along with Celeste. Celeste was his is wife and mate, a lover and enemy in one. I am yet to fully understand the story, but I knew I would have to if I wanted to help break the curse on him one day.

“You allowed it,” Kaif roared at me.

“Leave him, Kaif,” Kyan suddenly says, caught between two people inhabiting one body, and it was odd to see two voices coming out of the one source, Kaif growls, his growl becoming cut off by Kyan’s voice as he fights against him.

“He wasn’t there; he is innocent,”

Two entities one body like a split personality. Jekyll and hyde eat your f*****g heart out, he ain’t got s**t on these two psychos.
