Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 240 – Marabella POV

We were partway through a conversation when Jonah got this glazed over look like his mind went somewhere else when suddenly he was bleeding all over the sofa. I freaked instantly and gripped his shoulders, shaking him but got no response, physically he was here, but his wide-open vacant eyes told me he was also elsewhere.

“Jonah!” I shrieked in a panic. Looking around, I ran toward the kitchen and grabbed some teatowels from the bottom drawer before racing back to Jonah, whose blood was running onto the tiled floor as it dripped off the sofa.

“Jonah?”

“Try to slow the bleeding. Why isn’t he healing?” Kora shrieked when pain radiated up my arms. When Kyan’s father’s voice whispered behind my ear, red marks burned into my skin.

 

“Calm down. Jonah is fine. Kyan is channeling him to remain in this world. Kaif won’t let him d*e, Marabella.” My arms stung, yet it made no sense. What he said made no sense when I felt my mouth pooling with my venom.

“Shift if you want to heal him,” I tell her, trying to force it, yet my body remained; I didn’t want to start licking him like some freak.

“You can’t. Kyan is blocking you from feeling him, blocking you completely,”

“Dominic, right?” I asked just to ensure it was his father.

“Yes, bout time you figured it out, princess” I sucked in a breath, and a tear slipped down my cheek. I swallowed the emotion back, knowing he died for me. Yet he was always with me, drowning in my hopelessness with me, always bringing me back from ending it. Keeping me going, I understood what my father meant when he said Dominic was a better man than he gave him credit for, that he couldn’t repay what he gave for him, and neither could I. His voice was sometimes the only thing that kept me alive and breathing until Kora came along. The voice that would talk to me while I hid away from the world, from myself.

“You can still heal him,” Dominic tells me. I looked down at Jonah’s bleeding wrists. Ah, gross, I thought but snatched his arm up before running my tongue over the deep cuts. My tongue tingled as I ran my tongue from his wrist to the crook of his elbow.

 

Dominic’s voice laughed in my head at my reaction. “Well, you would s**k being a vampire,”

academy “Surprisingly, it doesn’t taste too bad, just the thought is what is making me cringe,” I tell him, and I felt my energy diminishing more as my body grew heavier. He laughs again when I move onto the next one, four lines marking up each arm, and by the time I was done, his blood coated my lips and face. I wiped my face on the teatowel and shivered, but the wounds remained closed, yet he was still stuck in this trance-like state.
