Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 The lights flickered a few times before the generator kicked in, and they remained on.

Both Jonah's and Kyan's phones start ringing loudly.

Kyan snatches his phone off the bedside table and glances at it before chucking it to Jonah.

"Floor Manager,"

Kyan says as Jonah catches it before he picks up his own phone that was on charge.

"And I get security,"

Jonah says before answering it.

He rejects the call on Kyan's phone before walking over to the closet and pulling a shirt on.

He talked to whoever was on the phone to him before hanging up and coming out of the closet dressed in black slacks and a button-up shirt.

"I'll handle this. Will you be right alone with Mara?"

Jonah says, eyeing me worriedly.

Kyan nods and waves him off before Jonah leaves the room and the apartment.

Kyan watched him go before turning back to face me.

"You had the visions?"

Kyan asks, biting the corner of his lip, tilting his head to the side, and watching me worriedly.

"I need to speak to Kaif,"

I told him, and his brows furrowed in confusion.

"I need to speak to him alone, Kyan. I don't want you listening in,"

I tell him.

"You're not going to reject him, are you?"

Kyan says, his voice trembling.

“What? No, of course not. Please, I just need to ask him something?"

I tell him, reaching for his hands.

I squeeze them gently.

"I'm not going anywhere.

I saw what Kaif did, but I know he had his reasons.

Kaif did nothing I wouldn't have done if our roles were reversed,"

I reassure him.

Kyan's anxiety through the bond was loud and clear; he feared why I wanted to speak to Kaif, yet also scared Kaif would do something to me now that the darkness had been awoken and given to me.

But darkness was a part of me.

I was born with it.

It couldn't taint what was already stained and made of darkness.

 "I can handle Kaif Kyan; I am not worried about Kaif hurting me. Besides, I will just kick his ass with your father's magic,"

I chuckle.

Kyan seems to think for a second; he rubs a hand over his face before nodding and standing up.

"And you're not leaving me?"

Kyan asks.

"I swear on the Moon Goddess,"

I tell him, and he laughs.

"Just try to be quick; I don't enjoy being in the dark with him, "

Kyan tells me before leaning down and gripping my face in his hands; he kisses me softly.

I answered his kiss instantly, knowing he needed me to, still disbelieving of my intentions with Kaif.

He lets me go and stands up.

"I want Kaif in his form,"

I tell him.

"You want me to shift completely?"

Kyan said.

He was a little taken aback.

But I knew Kyan could press forward and rein back control in human form.

Kaif's form not so much, and I knew Kaif could block him out entirely in that form.

"Twill be quick, then I will make him give you control back,"

he sighs and reluctantly shifts.

I watch as his clothes shred, his skin turning to fur.

His bones cracked and elongated until his head was scraping the low roof.

He tilts his head, looking down at me.

"Couldn't have picked the living room?"

He says, knocking on the roof with his fist before lowering himself to the ground and sitting with his knees bent.

"Sorry, I forgot you're nearly 8 feet tall,"

I chuckle.

"7.9,"

Kaif says, leaning back against the bathroom door frame where the wall was strongest.

Kaif watches me, his eyes calculating, like a predator watching its prey, looking for some weakness, some fault.

"Are you looking to see if what I saw changed me?"

J ask him, and he nods, looking away guiltily.

"I am not like the rest of them; I'm aware of your reasons, Kaif; You don't scare me, and I'm not scared of our future, so you shouldn't be either."

J tell him.

"It always repeats, Love. Forgive me if I am a little skeptical,"

Kaif says, and I bite the inside of my lip.

"We haven't had a baby yet. I'm not looking to be a kiddie killer anytime soon,"

J tell him, and his eyes darken, his thoughts turn clouded, and he stares at the floor for a few seconds.

“But the ghosts of my past know you are different.

They could try other ways, but I don't believe you would let them win."

“Then why are you worried?"

"I guess I'm worried you would hate me, especially for the last few," Kaif says.

“Because you never even marked them? You killed them without even trying to break the curse.

Because they weren't tainted yet?"

I ask him, and he nods.

"It still would have been the same with them; I just eliminated the threat before it became one,"

he says, his eyes flicking to me again.

The look he gave me made me swallow, and I could feel my heart beating faster at his words before I regained myself.

''I have a few theories after everything I have witnessed or envisioned.

I picked up a few things, but first, I want to ask you a question?"

"I'm all ears,"
