Chapter 276 

Kyan POV 

I watched as Ella fell asleep. Placing my hand on her head, her temperature had gone down, and her scent was beginning to dissipate. “She is fine, Kyan,” Jonah murmured behind me.

“You weren’t wearing protection,” I mumbled, looking down at her.

“Point being, she would have said something if she was worried,” Jonah shrugs.

“She may not be worried, but my DNA is in your veins. If you knocked her up, it would be mine too!” I tell him. 3

“Ah, am I missing something? We are mates, maybe not like Mateo and Ezra, but still, mates. We have marked each other. Isn’t that the point?” Jonah asked, and I sighed. He wasn’t getting it.

“The curse Jonah, if you knocked her up and she has a baby.”

“If she has a baby! Mara may not even want kids, first of all, and secondly, I don‘t think you have to worry about Kaif killing her, and as for the darkness, Kaif has marked her already. It has no effect on her,” Jonah says. 2

“I am worried about the curse continuing,” I tell him. Jonah growls, and I could feel his frustration through the bond.

“Kyan, this curse has no effect on her. She has proven that!” 

“May not affect her but affects Kaif and any children we have,”

“You are worried Kaif will still kill her? After everything, seriously, Kyan?” Jonah asks. 

“I don‘t know,” I answer honestly. I didn‘t know. Everything I assumed was wrong. However, something had changed with Kaif; I felt at peace, and so did he since she marked him. Like the world‘s weight lifted off of him. She accepted him, not just me. She accepted Kaif, and I feel that was what was needed all along. However, if time was any indicator, it was consistently repeated. 

“You are. You’re worried if she got pregnant, Kaif would kill her?” | nod, looking down at her.

“Not this time. Ella is different,” Kaif said, dismissing the idea instantly. 

“She isn‘t just your mate, Kyan. I am yours too, and hers. If you don‘t trust yourself or Kaif. Trust that I won’t let harm come to her, but I know Kaif won‘t hurt her,” Jonah says, gripping my shoulder. 

“How?” 

“Because I felt it when she marked him,” he says. “Mara set him free when she marked him and he her. Mara was right. Kaif didn‘t need redemption. He needed acceptance, destined to live the same fate over. Rejection, Kyan. It was never redemption. It was them turning against him. They turned away from him like Luna did. Mara turned to him,” Jonah says, and I nod. I hoped he was right. But something had been nagging me. Kaif was hiding something, and it was making me uneasy. I know he had control earlier, blocked me out, and refused to tell me what he and Ella spoke about. 2
