Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 229 – Kyan POV

“Kyan, I..I… I did something bad; I k****d them,” Marabella says; I could feel how scared she was, feel her anguish. I knew she was in the City. That is what woke me; she was close enough to me that it alerted me through the bond that was in trouble; the bond she was unaware we already shared.

“Marabella?” I called out to her, but all I could make out was that she was sobbing; my heart felt like it split it two.

“Pull over, I will find her quicker,” Kaif said, but the thought of letting him out frightened me.

“Just tell me where,” I tell him cracking down the window. We were wasting time pointlessly driving around in a circle.

“Left,” Kaif says, when I nearly drive past it, ripping on the wheel, the back end of my car hit the light pole, scraping across the trunk.

“Marabella, are you there? Speak to me, please, just keep on talking,” I tell her, but she was rambling nonsense when I heard a name I did not expect.

“Rose, please wake up, wake up,” Marabella whispers before sobbing again.

“Left again, she is on the next street,” Kaif roars, pressing beneath my skin. I turn the corner, the headlights lighting up the narrow street, and I nearly choke when I try to breathe. The car skids to a stop as I slam the brakes on.

Marabella was sitting on the ground drenched in blood, Rose‘s head clutched in her lap as she rocked back and forth. She hadn‘t seemed to notice the car had pulled up beside her, but when I opened my door, a savage growl tears out of her, her eyes snapping to mine, but they were pitch black and demonic–looking before she chokes on her sob.

“I didn‘t mean it,” She murmurs, her lips quivering, and she bites her bottom one, glancing around before dropping her head. I peek at Rose for a second panicked; she k****d Jonah‘s sister, yet she was breathing, and her pulse even. Marabella stroked Rose‘s hair and face, tears running down her face and dripping off.

Her eyes went back to their usual color. Looking around, I find a man lying d**d and black veins riddled his skin. I crouched next to him, and I could smell the scent of d***h, not just his corpse but the smell of black magic. Her handprint burnt into his wrist as if she had grabbed him. Standing up, I didn‘t notice the other man until I turned to walk to the other, but there he was impaled on the wall about ten meters up.

A drainage pipe stabbing through his chest was holding him in place, blood soaked the brickwork below him, leaving a puddle on the ground.

Walking over to the other man, Mara whimpers, making me glance at her.

“I‘m right here; nothing will hurt you,” I tell her, stopping beside her, she stared at me desperately, but I had to see. I had to see so I could watch what happened.

Walking over to the other man, it looked like Kaifs handy work, the man‘s face crushed into the pavement, brain matter spilling out his ears, and the top of his head burst open. His facial features were expunged entirely.

Turning back to the scene, I feel my magic ripple, and Marabella‘s head snaps up like she could sense it, I had no doubt that she could.

“Close your eyes for me, Ella” I tell her, not wanting her to see the ghosts of the past playing out for her to relive. She didn‘t need to witness it when she had already endured it. For once, she actually listened to me, tucking her face into Rose‘s neck.

The vibration of my magic passes through me. Kaif wanting to see also presses forward; he was better at identifying power. Kaif was the oldest thing currently living and had seen plenty of magic in his time.
