Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278

Jonah POV

Eziah and Mara had been practicing spells that was all she would give me, no reason, nothing, but she seemed to like having her brother around, so as long as I knew where she was, I was happy with that. On the other hand, Kyan wasn't too happy but accepted it. Nearing dinner time, Marabella still hadn't come down, so I decided to get her before Kyan came looking for us. I also wanted to ask her about maybe spending the day with Kyan tomorrow instead of her brother, hoping it would keep his festering anger down.

Walking into my old apartment, I noticed they had finally fixed the windows, and I let out a breath of relief. Marabella had told me Eziah had spent the last couple of days drunk, and I was seriously worried about him falling out that damn window. Marabella sat cross- legged on the floor, staring at some small box.

"musculus sphincter ani," Mara said, and my eyebrows lifted almost into my hairline as I stared at her before she gasped when I notice Eziah nudging

the coffee table leg with his foot. 7
"See, try again," Eziah snickered as | came to stand behind him. Marabella's excitement bubbled through the bond as she kept trying to repeat the exact same words as ! leaned down next to Eziah.

"Eziah, why have you got my mate screaming out anus?” I chuckle, and he puts his finger to his lips, trying not to laugh, and I shake my head. Marabella, utterly oblivious to her brother making her speak nonsense, continued repeating the so-called spell. '

He even nudged the table a couple of times, egging her on while I tried not to laugh. She would be pissed when she realized she wasn't saying a spell and that he was making fun of her. Marabella, becoming angry, grabs the box. "It's useless,” she says, trying to pry the box open with her fingers.

"If you told me what it is you are doing, I might be able to help," I told her. I had no magic but had helped Kyan for years
going through his grimoires and had seen enough magic I knew a few things, though she would be best off asking

Kyan.

"Besides touching hers, I don't see how,"
Eziah muttered too low for her to hear as she examined the small trinket box. I nudged him with my elbow as she tried again.

"Muscular sphincter ani," she said just as Kyan stepped into the apartment. I straightened up, and so did Eziah. Marabella, completely unaware and focused on her fake spell, hadn't noticed, and I swallowed, feeling his burning anger when he saw the spell books lying on the coffee table. I knew they were doing something with magic, but Kyan didn't, and by the look on his face and his blistering hot anger through the bond, he wasn't happy about it. Kyan stalked over to Eziah and snatched the book from his hand, and Marabella jumped, looking over at him, finally noticing him.

"Why do you have this?" he growled at Eziah.

"Woah, calm down," I told him as Marabella leaped to her feet. Kyan looked between us all.

"Is this what you have been doing this past week? Why the fuck is my father's grimoires in your brother's hands, Marabella?" he growled. Eziah remained quiet, probably best since he was drunk.

"I knew something was going on. Why do you have these, fucking answer me?" Kyan roared. Mara looked at me, yet I wasn't sure what they were doing, so I couldn't exactly defend her when I didn't know.

"She was trying to open the box," Eziah says with a sigh. Kyan's eyes flick to him on the couch.

"Doesn't explain why you have this, and that wasn't even a fucking spell. Do you think this funny?"

"I was messing around with her. No harm done," Eziah says while

Marabella glares at her brother.

"I knew you were up to something,”

Marabella snapped at Eziah, and Eziah snickered and Kyan growled. Returning their attention back to him.

"Where did you get these?” he says, looking at the coffee table covered in old books.

"Those are mine and from the Moon Goddess realm,” Eziah said, snatching one out of Kyan's hand. Kyan snarls, grabbing it back and glancing at it. Marabella, I could feel petrified as he opened the other book, the one Eziah was holding when he walked in.

Kyan looked it over before looking at Marabella.

"You went into my father’s room?" he asked, and I felt his betrayal hit through the bond.

"I can explain, sort of." she offered. "What do you mean sort of, you will be fucking explaining what the fuck is going on here?" Kyan roared, and Eziah jumped to his feet as Kyan raised his voice at her.

“Sit down,” Kyan bellowed at him.

The lights flickered with his anger, and the buzz of electricity in the air showed how betrayed he felt. I know it wasn't the issue of her being in possession of them more that she let her brother touch them.

"Kyan, she wasn't doing anything, just trying to open the box. They have been practicing with magic," I tell him because that was all I knew and I couldn't think of anything else to say. “You knew?” Kyan asked me and I glanced away feeling guilty I kept it

"We are leaving," Kyan snaps at Mara, grabbing her arm, and Eziah pushes him while I move to get between them.
Kyan's entire body trembled with rage as he stared at Eziah.

"Don't," I warned both of them while
Mara looked like a deer in headlights.

Kyan looks at the jewelry box. Shoving past Eziah, he snatches it off the coffee table, and I feel his shock hit me. "Kaif sealed this," Kyan murmurs looking past me at Marabella. Feeling his own magic inside the box, I look to Marabella questionably. Yet she remained quiet, dread-filled the bond coming from her, and Kyan growled.
