Chapter 267 The lights flickered a few times before the generator kicked in, and they remained on.
Both Jonah's and Kyan's phones start ringing loudly.
Kyan snatches his phone off the bedside table and glances at it before chucking it to Jonah.
"Floor Manager,"
Kyan says as Jonah catches it before he picks up his own phone that was on charge.
"And I get security,"
Jonah says before answering it.
He rejects the call on Kyan's phone before walking over to the closet and pulling a shirt on.
He talked to whoever was on the phone to him before hanging up and coming out of the closet dressed in black slacks and a button-up shirt.
"I'll handle this. Will you be right alone with Mara?"
Jonah says, eyeing me worriedly.
Kyan nods and waves him off before Jonah leaves the room and the apartment.
Kyan watched him go before turning back to face me.
"You had the visions?"
Kyan asks, biting the corner of his lip, tilting his head to the side, and watching me worriedly.
"I need to speak to Kaif,"
I told him, and his brows furrowed in confusion.
"I need to speak to him alone, Kyan. I don't want you listening in,"
I tell him.
"You're not going to reject him, are you?"
Kyan says, his voice trembling.
“What? No, of course not. Please, I just need to ask him something?"
I tell him, reaching for his hands.
I squeeze them gently.
"I'm not going anywhere.
I saw what Kaif did, but I know he had his reasons.
Kaif did nothing I wouldn't have done if our roles were reversed,"
I reassure him.
Kyan's anxiety through the bond was loud and clear; he feared why I wanted to speak to Kaif, yet also scared Kaif would do something to me now that the darkness had been awoken and given to me.
But darkness was a part of me.
I was born with it.
It couldn't taint what was already stained and made of darkness.
"I can handle Kaif Kyan; I am not worried about Kaif hurting me. Besides, I will just kick his ass with your father's magic,"
I chuckle.
Kyan seems to think for a second; he rubs a hand over his face before nodding and standing up.
"And you're not leaving me?"
Kyan asks.
"I swear on the Moon Goddess,"
I tell him, and he laughs.
"Just try to be quick; I don't enjoy being in the dark with him, "
Kyan tells me before leaning down and gripping my face in his hands; he kisses me softly.
I answered his kiss instantly, knowing he needed me to, still disbelieving of my intentions with Kaif.
