Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 225 – Marabella POV

We were about ten-fifteen minutes from home. My stomach twisted with Kyan’s last text message, and it was all I had thought about the entire way home. Yet, I believed he would go through with it. I believed he would drag me there himself if I didn’t show up to Rose’s birthday when another thought occurred to me. Jonah.

When he said I would regret it, did he mean by hurting him? That was the only way to get even, my family was untouchable, but Jonah wasn’t.

“Well, ring him,” Kora hisses at me, and I fumble with my phone; I start typing when Kora starts to worry, insisting I ring him to be sure. Her worry made my already heightened anxiety so much worse.

“You ok?” my father asks, and I nod, dialing his number.

“Yeah, just want to check on Jonah,”

“But you just saw him. He will be fine,”

“But if he goes to Kyan’s?” I chew my lip nervously.

“Did he threaten Jonah?”‘ My father growls, and I shake my head because he hasn’t. Still, the worry ate at me.

“Marabella?”

“No, but he wasn’t happy. What if he does something to Jonah?”

“Not likely. Those two seem close, always have been, but if it makes you calm down, just ring Jonah,” My father says before yawning. He covers his mouth with the back of his hand, and I suddenly felt guilty for making him pick me up.

“Jonah?” Kora mutters, and I shake my thoughts away, hitting the call button. The phone rings as my father pulls into the service station just outside of town. The first time it goes straight to voicemail.

“I need coffee, want one?” my father asks, and I nod to him before redialling Jonah’s number. My heart rate increases the longer it rings, and Jonah finally picks up, and I let out a breath of relief.

“Told you he is fine,” My father says before getting out of the car.

“Jonah?”‘ I yelp, relieved to hear his voice.

“Hey, what’s up? I am-“

“Don’t go to Kyan’s Jonah. Promise me you will stay away from him,” I shriek in panic. I didn’t know if Kora or I spoke. Our thoughts felt like they were muddling into one.

“Huh, I am with…” I hear a growl that is more like a roar as Jonah’s words are cut off.

“Oh f*ck,” Jonah says before I hear a crashing sound and snarls booming through the phone.

“Mine,” Comes a deep gravelly voice that raised goosebumps on my arms. Whose voice was that? I wondered when more crashing sounded in the background.

“Jonah?” my voice trembled, I could more bangs and crashing sounds.

“Kaif, stop,” I hear Jonah’s voice stammer out before the sound of glass breaking reaches my ears.

“Jonah!” I shriek, ripping the phone away from my ear. Kora pushes against my skin, and my claws slip into my father’s car seat, and the phone slips through my fingers as my gloves tear off my hands. “Kora,” I grit out, trying to stop her from shifting.

Snatching my phone from where it fell in my lap, more crashing can be heard before I hear a long, harsh wheeze come through the phone before hearing another voice, not Jonah’s or Kaif’s
