Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

“What if the talisman was the key to locking it, like I don't know a timer, waiting for it to be in there with him to seal it?" lasked him.

"That is possible, but we have no idea how he sealed it.

Did he tell you the spell?" "Wait, you said you thought the Talisman sealed it, meaning it has power that could be channeled? When Dominic died, where was the talisman? Could that be enough power to preserve his life force?" I asked.

"Kyan was wearing it, his father put it on him....

that morning, " Kaif whispers the last part.

"Then you have a power source and the tether,'' I tell him.

"That bloody prick, I bet he is real smug at pulling that over me," Kaif laughs.

"But we still have no idea what spell he used to seal it, so if he didn't tell you, we may struggle to open it?" "No, we don't have the spell, but I have a link to him.

Just gotta pull him forward, I guess?" "But I need that talisman; it is out of the dagger, isn't it?" Kaif nods.

“And I need that stone and Celeste's grimoires," Kaif laughs.

"Grimoires, I wouldn't know the first place to look for those.

Celeste kept them hidden even from the coven," Kaif laughs.

"Moon Goddess realm?" Kora says, and I had a feeling she was right, only I can't enter the moon goddess realm long enough to look for them.

"But Eziah can or mum," Kora says.

"Grimoires, I think I know where I can find them, but I need that stone.

Dominic keeps saying I need the stones, so I need the one my brother had and the one Kyan tossed in with his father." "This is why you didn't want Kyan to know, isn't it? You didn't want to disappoint him if it was all for nothing?" I nodded.

"Okay, but how does this help with the curse?" Kaif asks.

"We have to break the stones," I tell him.

"Impossible, nothing will break those stones; they are indestructible.

Believe me, we have tried for centuries to break that damn talisman," "Yes, but did you have both of them?" I ask him, and he seems to think.

"Balance," He whispers.

"Everything has a balance, but I don't think that is all there is to the curse," "No, the stones are only part of it." Kaif growls.

"Hades cursed you to find your redemption, right?" "Yes, but Dominic told Kyan I had to forgive myself, which I don't have any reason to hate myself in my opinion that requires forgiving myself for," Kaif snarled.

"What if it wasn't forgiveness or redemption, which leads to the other thing I noticed that I wanted to tell you about? I wanted to try anyway." His claws scratch over the carpet, slicing it as his eyes flickered dangerously.

I could feel he was slightly untrusting of my intentions so I explained.

"As you said, balance," I tell him, getting to my feet.

I walk over to him, and he looks up at me when I stop in front of him.
