Chapter 274


    Chapter 274 Marabe POV


    When we returned home , Kyan was in a strange mood , and I knew it was because Eziah was in the


    City . Walking into the manor , I could hear the vacuum going upstairs , and Jonah sighed , taking the


    groceries Kyan asked us to grab on the way home to the kitchen . Carrying the duffle bag , I start


    walking up the steps to the second floor . Lucas’s bedroom door was open , and I could see an


    extension cord running from the power outlet in the hall leading into Lucas’s old room .


    Taking the duffle bag to the bedroom . I ced it on the bed , knowing there was no point and putting


    anything away because Kyan would just wait for us to sleep before undoing everything I folded or hung


    up , only to redo it or hang them a particr way . So I decided to wait for him and help him . Hearing


    the vacuum cut out , I wander back down the hall and over to Lucas’s room . Stopping at the door , I


    find Kyan cleaning the room .


    The bed was freshly made , and I could smell the furniture polish . The old dusty curtains had been


    reced , yet the old furniture that Kyan despised so much was polished to look brand new . All of


    Lucas ‘ knick – knacks are set back in their original ces . And Kyan was now cleaning the window


    tracks with a microfiber cloth .


    Even while cleaning , he was in pristine condition , with not a speck of dust on him , yet he looked


    different with his white button – up shirt , the sleeves rolled t o his elbows . So odd seeing a man of his


    Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    status doing ordinary , mundane tasks like cleaning window tracks . I knocked , not wanting to enter


    Lucas’s room while he was upset .


    I had been in here plenty of times when Lucas was alive . Lucas was very proud of his baseball card


    collection and liked to show me them and hisic books that sat in their stic wrappers , never


    opened . It made me wonder which was Dominic’s room . I knew it wasn’t on this floor , and there were


    two more floors . Maybe I could ask Kaifter if hees forward . If not , I might have to explore a bit .


    Kyan never minded when I looked around , although I never went to the upper floors unless I


    went to the Seance room . Kyan looks over his shoulder at me and pulls histex gloves from his


    hands . He drops them in his little rubbish bin . ” You’re home , finally . I was bing bored . Where


    is Jonah ? ” he asks , walking over to me . He grips the front of my shirt , pulling me into the room and


    kissing me briefly . ” Are you alright ?


    ” I ask him worriedly . The emotions through our bond were all over the ce . ” Fine , where is Jonah


    ? ” he asks , ncing over my shoulder . ” Putting groceries away , ” I tell him , and h e nods before


    rushing around the room , picking up his cleaning supplies , and I grab the vacuum , unplugging the


    cord and packing it back in the storage closet in the hall . Kyan steps out of the room behind m e before


    I see him lock the door with a key before pocketing it .


    ” Did you have fun with your brother ? ” he asks though I know he was only asking . not to be rude . He


    didn’t care to hear about what Eziah and I got up to . ” Yes , it was good to see him , ” I tell him ,


    and he nods while I follow him downstairs to the kitchen . Jonah was still putting groceries away ,


    removing everything from the packets and cing them in their designated containers . It was bizarre


    seeing how close they were , they were best friends , more like brothers , yet Jonah neverins


    about how set in his ways Kyan is and did things Kyan’s way despite it being time consuming . Seeing


    him like that made me wonder if it woulde naturally to me after a few years .


    Jonah didn’t even seem to think about it . Whereas I would have just stuffed the boxes in the pantry ,


    Jonah took the time to remove them from their packaging and ce everything in their designated ,


    Jonah tells him . Kyan visibly tensed , and I knew his OCD was running rampant today .


    ” I neverbeled it . Figured I would leave thebel for you , ” Jonah tells him , which surprised me


    further that Jonah knew that would be what Kyan would worry about . Kyan sighs and his shoulders


    rx as he takes thebeling device from the drawer and grabs the tall jar from the counter . Jonah


    gives me a look of worry as he watches Kyan try to get thebel on straight .


    Kyan’s hands shook in frustration , and I chewed my lip , wanting to help him but not sure if I should


    touch him . ” Kyan ? Are you alright ? ” Jonah asks , but Kyan appears to be absorbed in the task as he


    mutters under his breath . Jonah , however , nods toward him , and I move ,ing up behind Kyan


    and wrapping my arms around his waist .


    He stiffens before rxing and lets out a breath . His hands stop shaking , and he finally gets thebel


    on straight . I rest my cheek against his back and look a t Jonah . His worry for our mate was clearly


    etched into his face , and I think Eziah seemed to trigger something in him because he was okay


    before finding out 1 was with Eziah . It made me realize I made the right decision about not telling him


    about Dominic .


    I couldn’t bear to see him get his hopes u p , only for them to crash down on him if I am wrong , no


    matter how strongly i believe I am right . *** The night went by quickly . We did little , just sat around


    watching TV while Kyan read over work documents , and it took hours for Jonah to convince him to


    I finally noticed the bed was different once back in the room . How I missed it earlier was beyond me . I


    had been in here multiple times during the night , and not once did I realize the bed was bigger , the


    same bed , but bigger . Only noticing when I suddenly wasn’t squashed between them both . Kyan fell


    asleep instantly , while Jonah actually had trouble sleeping . He tossed and turned all night but


    eventually fell asleep , much to my relief . I wanted to see i f I could find Dominic’s room and knew


    Kyan would ask questions if he caught me looking around .


    I knew he wouldn’t mind , but I didn’t want to upset him with how h e was earlier . Climbing out of bed ,


    the floorboards were cold under my bare feet . I could see the perspiration from my footprints on them .


    I thought their body heat made me feel like I was sweltering pressed between them , yet I felt hot .


    Closing the door behind me as I leave the room , I walk down the dimly lit hallway to the thermostat to


    check the heating . It was stifling in here . Checking the screen , it was 21 degrees , so I must be


    stairs .


    A shudder ran through me , and goosebumps rose on my arms as I felt unease roll over me when I


    reached the top . Staring at the door to the séance room , I felt a strange urge to head down to the left


    of the corridor . I stop at the front of a set o f double doors , twisting the handle ; I find i t locked . Yet


    something was telling me this was a room that belonged to Dominic and his ” wife .


    Chewing my lip , I knew I would have to get Kyan’s keys , which I saw Kyan ce on the key hook by


    the front door before bed . I was about to turn around and go grab them when I felt a warm naked chest


    press against my back . My heartbeat thumped in my chest as his breath moved across my mark .


    Sparks burst across my skin as his scent wafted to me invitingly , making my mouth water . “


    Just me , love . ” Kaif’s voice whispers below my ear , and I rx when his hand moves in front of me


    to ce a key in the door . He unlocks it before pocketing the keys , twisting the handle , and opening it


    . I let out a breath and peer up over my . shoulder to see Kyan yet Kaif’s demonic eyes peering back at


    me .


    He pecks my lips gently and growls softly , the noise turning to a purr . When he pulls his lips from mine


    , he buries his face in my neck , inhaling my scent . Kaif’s arm wraps around my waist , pulling me flush


    against him , and a strangled noise leaves his lips as he lets m e go . I turn to face him only to see him


    dig the keys out of Kyan’s shorts pocket again . He fumbles with the fob key on them and presses it .


    ” Be quick . I won’t be able to stay in this form long ; I need to give Kyan back control , ” Kaif murmurs


    when he growls , pressing the fob key again , but more viciously . Suddenly I hear the groan and rattle


    of roller shutters , making me peek into the dark room that belonged to Dominic to see roller shutters


    block out the night sky .


    Kaif Nudges me into the room , and much like Kyan’s room , this room was spotless despite being


    locked up , nothing out of ce , and not a speck of dust , making me wonder if Kyan cleaned it


    regrly , The room looked untouched , just like Lucas’s . Photos of Kyan when he was little hung o n


    the walls . Frames were also on the dresser , even some of his artwork Dominic had framed .


    It was clear he was a proud father . Moving toward therge closet , his clothes were set out like


    Kyan’s . Everything had a particr spot a s I rummaged through , looking for anything that may


    resemble a grimoire .. Finding nothing , I walk out to find Kaif breathing heavily as his hand clutches the


    door frame . I moved toward the dresser beside the bed and opened the drawers . Sweat formed beads


    on the back of my neck . The temperature in the room rose dramatically .


    I wiped a hand across my forehead and pinched my nightie’s front , which was bing drenched in


    my sweat . At that very second , I realized why I was so hot , why Kaif was struggling with control and


    nced over at him nervously . My entire body was beginning to tingle , and I sniffed the air . I was


    going into heat ! Kyan’s scent was potent and enticing , and I had to shake the urge to go to him away


    a s I pulled the drawers out and searched them . Nothing .


    Moving around to the other side of the bed , I pull the bottom drawer out and find socks . Closing it , I


    move to the next , also nothing . Opening the top , my heart raced quicker when I spotted a brown


    leather covered book . A leather strap was buckled around it , and it had a strange marking that was


    partially obscured by the buckle . – Pulling the book out , a ripple ran over me when my fingers touched


    it , and I knew I had found what I was looking for .


    Grabbing the book , I look around the room and grab a shirt wrapping the old book in it before rushing


    past Kaif . Careful not to touch him , or I risked attacking him . I swallow when I feel how slick my thighs


    are bing . Racing back to the room my vision blurred slightly ,


    I stuff the book in one of my oversized handbags and ce it under the bed . Pain twisted in my belly


    and my vision blurred further . Getting up , I was about to run to the bathroom to try to have a cold


    shower when hands grabbed me from behind . Kaif purrs and pushes me toward the bed , where I


    could see Jonah moving around like he was ufortable . Kaif pushes m e onto the bed , climbing


    on it behind me and flipping me onto my back .


    The moment he gave control back to Kyan and my skin touched his , I was done for . Jonah rolls into


    me , and sparks rush everywhere , and I moan at the feel of their skin on mine . Kyan’s eyes opened ,


    and he blinked , confused before he sniffed the air , and his eyes flickered . He looks to the windows to


    see the roller shutters locked in ce and Kyan growls before his lips crash down on mine hungrily .


    His tongue moves between my lips , his tongue brushing against mine , and I hear Jonah groan beside


    me as he rolls into me . Kyan pulls his lips from mine and stares a t Jonah when Jonah leans over ,


    kissing me with the same desire Kyan had , his hand grabbing my breast through the thin nightie when


    I heard fabric tearing as Kyan ripped my nightdress and his lips wrapped around my nipple . At the


    same time , Jonah fondled the other with his hand making me moan against Jonah’s lips .
