Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 236 – Kyan POV

“Lucas, have you seen my phone?” I call out to him. I was running later; I should have left already. However, I was contemplating not going after Jonah’s threat. I knew he told his dad, who in turn told hers. I wasn’t worried about them doing anything. They stood no chance if they did. I didn’t need KaifKaif to take them down, but could I risk hurting Marabella anymore than I have.

Today I would do it, I would set her free of me, I would end this finally, and she would be safe away from me.

“Lucas!” I call out again when I get no answer.

“No, did you check your room?” Lucas calls out. Of course, I checked my d**n room. I growl, frustrated; it had all my videos stored on it, though I had them backed up on my g****e drive, but I still liked having them. They were the only thing that helped me keep control of Kaif when he was anxious.

He usually settled instantly when I would play the videos of Mara that I kept secretly. I had videos from when she was a baby right up until now. I suppose one would probably think it was creepy that I watched her without her knowledge.

Yet it isn’t hard to tap into her family’s security cameras, though she hardly spent time in any of the main areas, however, when she did. I always saved them, so KaifKaif had something to watch.

Hearing footsteps, I turn around, looking toward the stairs of the foyer.

“No, luck?” he asks, and I shake my head.

“If you find it, ring Jonah and let me know,” I tell him. I had to get to the challenge; I promised I would go. He had been waiting for this day since he was a kid, and I would make sure no matter how much of a terrible idea it now was going, that I would be there for him. Though it would be awkward now that KaifKaif had marked him. I still can’t believe he would betray me like that? Betray us?

“You left me no choice,” Kaif snarls.

“There is always a choice,” I tell him while walking out to my car.

“Then make the right ones, and I won’t have to take drastic measures,” He growls back.

“You know only mates are supposed to mark each other, and Jonah isn’t my mate,”

“No, but he was right about one thing, Mara was always supposed to be his too,”

“How so?”

“I don’t know, I could sense it when I marked him; he shared her essence,”

“Essence maybe because he had been with her all night,” I tell him, but he disagrees.

“No, I can’t explain it, he is like, I don’t know the glue, the one that holds everything together, her opposite if you like,”

“Opposite, that makes no sense,”

“With darkness come light, Jonah is the light, but I don’t know, it’s more than that,” He muses.

“Well, figure it out, let me know,” I tell him, starting my car.

“You don’t seem very upset about me marking him,”

“He is like a brother, though how this will work when he becomes Alpha is beyond me, you mate marked him, I am not about to leave the City, and I sure as h**l won’t be with Mara and ah, definitely not with him,”

“You always think of s*x. You know, relationships back in my day weren’t about s*x. None of this try before you buy c**p; you couldn’t even have s*x until you courted and married the lady and got parental approval,” KaifKaif says.

“Yeah in your day, you thought the world was flat, and that bad smells caused disease,” I tell him, shaking my head.

The drive took a couple of hours, and as I pulled onto the long stretch of road, I was suddenly nervous about seeing Mara. Should I apologize? Should I just steer clear until it is all over then approach her to reject her? I was definitely out of my element here.

Parking, I noticed the entire pack stared in my direction. Here we go, I thought. I could see Mateo and Ezra on the hill like they were waiting for me. I roll my eyes.

“You’re on your own,” KaifKaif says, and I growl at him.

“Aren’t I usually against you?” I scoff, pushing my door open only to see Mara walk out of the Packhouse with Sage. Sage stops and my stomach sinks. I felt terrible. It was clear she knew by the glare on her face. Marabella stops staring at her before looking over her shoulder and noticing me. She looks back at her Aunty, who suddenly starts walking in my direction and Marabella tries to stop her, but one look from Sage and she drops her head.

Sage storms past her in a blaze of glory. “I expected better of you. I f*****g expected so much better,’ She snarls at me. Everyone stopped to watch, and I saw her hand twitch a few seconds before her palm connected with my face.

I s*****w, unable to meet her gaze, instead looking toward Marabella. She had her hands cupping her mouth like she couldn’t believe Sage just hit me, her face turning red with embarrassment as the entire pack started crowding around.

“Explain yourself. You dare try… Try…” Sage couldn’t bring herself to say it. Tears spring in her eyes and her lip quivers.

“You have disappointed me,” She says. My stomach dropped. She was like the mother I never had, and her words stung more than her hand.

“I’m sorry,” I tell her, meaning every word of it.

“I’m not who you should be apologizing to,’ She says before walking off. She pauses when she gets to Marabella’s side and grabs her arm before turning to look at me.

“Andrei is inside with Jonah,” She says before tugging Mara away and toward the training grounds. I watch them go before heading inside. Her fathers start walking down toward the packhouse, and I groan, ignoring them and heading inside.
