Chapter 233
Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 233 – Kyan POV
After dealing with Rose and exining to Jonah what happenedst 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, “
All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
“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.
“Bedonna 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 alwayse 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, Marabe 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 ring daggers at me. I pick up my whiskey and take a sip.
Seriously barking up the wrong tree he is.
“So Jonah, are youing to the challenge tomorrow, ” Andrei asks, and I nod. Jonah nces at him,
and Rose scowls which I thought odd; she didn’t look particrly 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,”
” Marabe is staying. Maybe you can stay with her and Jonah, ” Lucas says, and I re at him. What
the f*ck was he ying 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 ss. 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 te, and I could feel how ufortable she
was. My eyes dart to her to see Jonah ce his arm across the back of her chair and grip her shoulder,
he ces his lips to her temple, and Mateo smirks, also looking at his daughter.
Kat nudges Mateo and nods to Maraeb, 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 Maarabe at that thought. Some part of me was curious to know if she was a match
on a different level, her magic simr to mine and it made me wonder how she got her hands on my
family’s power.
Rose,pletely 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 hershes 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 didst night, ” Sage scolds, and I notice Kat
nce 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.
“Youing, 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!” Marabe 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.
” No, what makes you say that?” Mateo says with a devious smile on his lips.
“Then, no, I will being home with you,” Eziah says.
” Fine, but make sure you wear earmuffs tonight, ” Ezra taunts, and Eziah pulls a face while Kat
smacks Ezra’s chest. I nce over to look for Marabe to find her gone. Jonah still sat at the table,
but Rose, Casen, and Marabe were nowhere to be seen. I nce back at the table and see Lucas
watching me, and he wipes his hands on his napkin and leans back in his chair. The man could
sometimes read me too easily.
Jonah and his father talk about pack business, and after a few minutes, I cou1dn’t take it anymore,
wondering where she is was bothering me. I knew she was safe, but afterst night I hated the idea of
being on her own. And with Casen, she might as well be on her own. He only had eyes for Rose, so he
would not be paying close attention to Marabe. I excuse myself, and Lucas smiles, and I fight back
the urge to growl at him. Instead, tossing my napkin down on the table and walking out.
I take the elevator up to the floor above. This ce was alive tonight, it always was, but tonight it was
exceptionally busy. I find Marabe at the bar watching Rose dance. Casen stood beside Rose like a
statue watching her while Rose attempted to get him to dance with her. I pull the stool out beside
Marabe and sit on it before waving the bartender down. Marabe was drinking soda and nced at
me briefly before diverting her eyes back to the dancefloor.
“I would have gone home, ” she says. The bartender hands me two sses, and I reach over the bar
for the whiskey and pour my own ss.
“Drink?” I ask her, and she shakes her head, holding up her soda.
“I meant a real one, not the kiddie stuff,” I tell her, and she rolls her eyes.
“Nope, I’m good,” she says, going back to watching Rose and Casen.
“Kaif isn’t like what I expected, ” She says after a few seconds.
“What did you expect?”
“I expected him to be a jerk like you,” She says, and I chuckle.
“He is; you just haven’t pissed him off yet, ” I sip my drink, watching her, trying to build the courage to
reject her.
“He seems…. he talks funny,” She ends up saying.
“He has spent centuries in silence; he has trouble conveying actual words from his thoughts, “
“I think I said that wrong,”
“You meant he speaks the oldnguage?” I ask, and she nods.
“He is old, as old as the Moon Goddess Celeste, ” I could see she wanted to ask more but instead
refrains herself going back to ignoring me.
“Your dad doesn’t seem too happy with me,” I tell her, and she raises an eyebrow at me.
“What you expected a pat on the back for saying you don’t want his daughter even though she is your
mate, “
“No, but I expected him to be smarter about who he picks his battles with, “
“Is there a reason you are up here, or did you juste looking for me to see if I would beg at your feet
to be with you if that is what you are waiting for, it won’t happen,”
“I just wanted to check on you, Jonah didn’t go with you, and I got sick of being the elephant in the
room back there, “
“Then why not leave? ” I shrug, unsure why I didn’t either. We watched Rose, well Marabe did while I
watched her when a woman approached the bar next to me. Marabe nced at her for a second,
and the woman’s perfume burned my nose when she leaned over me to grab the bartender’s attention.
She nces at me, and I look away from her, repulsed by her. She was clearly intoxicated and her
dress so short she might as well have been naked; it left nothing to the imagination. Marabe res at
her when she stumbles, almost falling onto me, her hand gripping my arm to steady herself when she
speaks.
“Want to dance?” Her words slurred.
“No!” I tell her, and she pouts. I try to shrug her hand off my arm, my patience waning. Her touch made
my skin crawl as she fondled my suit jacket, her hands clutching the front, and her breath stunk heavily
of vodka.
“Just one dance?”
“He said no!” Marabe startles me, and the woman noticing her nces at her.
“Oh, you’re with someone,” The woman says, looking back at me. I don’t correct her; I just wanted her
away from me.
“Yes, now f*ck off, ” Marabe says, and I realize it wasn’t her but Kora that I sensed, though I thought
it funny seeing her so aggressive. The woman
sensing something was off with Marabe, despite being drunk, edged away from me. I smirk when the
woman leaves, and Marabe turns back to watch those dancing. I went to open my mouth to say
something, curiosity burning me at her actions.
“Don’t ! Just shut up,” she snaps, and I sigh, choosing to leave it; I would have told her to go away
myself, but seeing her be so possessive thrilled me when I know it shouldn’t have.
It was a couple of hours before Jonah came upstairs looking for us, surprise flitted across his features,
and I could feel his burning curiosity, but I was more pissed off that he would leave her alone after
everything that happenedst night. Her parents also wandered over, and Eziah hugged his sister
before saying goodbye to Rose.
Mateo sneered at me as he said goodbye to his daughter, while Ezra looked as though he wanted to
say something but decided against it. Probably best he did. I had managed to drink half that bottle of
whiskey by the time they came up, and I wasn’t in the best headspace while I watched Marabe, who
had done nothing but ignore me all d**n night. It shouldn’t have bothered me, but it did.
Marabe went to walk her parents out, and I could feel her hesitation like she was deciding to go with
them when Jonah pulled her to his side. I watched from the bar as he wrapped his arms around her
waist, the way her face lit up as she leaned back against him. Jealousy coursed through me, clouding
my judgment as I reached for the bottle behind the bar again.
The bartender eyed me and one re has him looking away. I pour another ss watching them. I
should have left , should have gone home now that Jonah was with her, yet I couldn’t tear my eyes
away from her when he led her over to Rose on the dancefloor. Jonah practically dragged her, and I
could tell she didn’t want to dance, but Jonah encouraged her anyway.
The woman from earlier makes her way over to me, and I roll my eyes when she leans on the bar
watching me. I was about to move when she spoke.
“Well, your little friend moved on quickly, ” The woman states. I didn’t answer about to move away from
her when pain rippled through me, my nerves burning and the ss I was holding shattered in my hand
under my grip.
“S**t,” I curse, reaching behind the bar for a tea towel when the bartender chucks me one. I thank him,
wiping the front of my jacket down, and the bartender waves a waitress over to clean up the shattered
ss.
However, the sharp pains radiating through my chest don’t stop, and I nce at Jonah and Marabe
to find him kissing her. Her hands on his chest, and he pulled away, whispering something to her, and
my blood boiled.
“You okay, ” the intoxicated woman asks, her hands roaming over my wet suit as she tries to help clean
up the mess. Suddenly amotion can be heard.
Everyone turns their attention to the dancefloor. Casen and Rose were arguing, and I noticed Jonah
make his way over to them.
Marabe, however, was watching me. Her eyes were on the woman beside me, fussing over me and
leaning her body against mine. I hadn’t realized how close she was but saw Marabe’s anger over her
close proximity.
I pull her closer , my hand on the woman’s hip. I don’t know why I did. Maybe it was petty; I was
nning on rejecting her anyway. I instantly regretted it, but I wanted her to know what it felt
like, to know the pain she causes me every time she is with Jonah. The woman seemed startled, and I
didn’t even know her name. I was disgusted by my actions, yet I did it anyway. I kissed her.
