Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 261 – Kyan POV

“Where do you want her?” I asked Jonah as I scooped up Marabella off the couch where she had fallen asleep.

“Ah, in the bed,” Jonah said awkwardly while scratching the back of his neck as he stood. I shake my head at his strange behavior. I figured they would be sleeping together but thought I would ask if they weren’t sharing a bed on the off-chance. Carrying her to the bedroom, I placed her in the bed and nearly walked into Jonah as he came in the door. Kaif writhed beneath my skin, wanting to stay. The bond may be broken, but that doesn’t mean we stopped loving her. However, I found it strange being the third wheel, making me wonder if this was how Jonah felt when she was still mine.

“She didn’t even wake; I expected her to when I picked her up,” I tell Jonah.

“I made her go back on her m********n,” Jonah said, which made me look over at him.

“She is retaking her antidepressants?” I asked.

“Yes, her mother had the doctor refill her script, and he faxed it to the p******y down here for me,” I nodded before looking down at her.

“Are you sleeping in here too?” Jonah asked, tugging his shirt off. I wasn’t even sure I could sleep. The manor stunk so heavily of bleach I hadn’t slept since the night Lucas was k****d, the urge to keep busy preventing me from sleeping. Looking back at the bed, I shook my head. “Na, I might head home,” I told him, feeling a little awkward, suddenly. Especially now, Jonah had claimed her and with Kaif feeling uneasy inside me with his burning jealousy.

“Kyan, get in the d**n bed,” Jonah growled at me before climbing in himself. Kaif pressed under my skin, wanting to sleep here and not back home, but I was slightly worried. Everything felt different now; I no longer knew what to do with myself. I had spent years fighting the bond, and now I just wanted it back.

“I will behave, please,” Kaif whined while peering longingly at the bed.

“Kyan, get in the d**n bed; I know you want to. She is your mate, too.”‘ Jonah snapped, which gave Kaif a boost because he also wanted her.

“Was my mate,” I told him, not liking how that sounded rolling off my tongue. Kaif growled at me but said nothing.

“She is still your mate; nothing prevents you from remarking her. Preferably you this time, though, and not Kaif,” Jonah said before yawning and covering his mouth with his hand.

“And you’re still standing there like a b****y creeper; if you want, I will spoon you,” Jonah offered with a laugh. Although that actually didn’t sound half bad, not that I would admit it to him, I wasn’t exactly known for liking cuddles. I moved toward the bed with a sigh, toed off my shoes, and shrugged my jacket off. Removing my belt, I let my pants fall when Jonah tossed me a pair of his boxer shorts from his bedside drawer.

“Seriously?” I asked, catching them.

“I would rather go pant-less,” I tell him.

“Suit yourself,” Jonah said before rolling on his side and tugging Mara closer so I could squeeze in next to her.

“Ah, you going to turn the lamp off, or are we sleeping with it on? I promise not to let the bogey man get you,” I tell him, rolling on my side to face Marabella. Jonah sighed, and I peeked over the top of her to look at him.

I realized I had never been in this room with her before, that it confused me. A woman walked in, one of Kaif’s shadow mates from a different time; she carried a baby in her arms.
