Fated To The Alpha Series chapter 267
The lights flickered
A few times before the generator kicked in , and they remained o n . 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 gol 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 . He lets me go and stands up . ” I want Kaif in his form , ” I tell him . ” You want me to shift completely ? ” Kyan said .
He was a little taken aback . But I knew Kyan could press forward and rein back control in human form . Kaif’s form not so much , and I knew Kaif could block him out entirely in that form .
” I will be quick , then I will make him give you control back , ” he sighs and reluctantly shifts . I watch as his clothes shred , his skin turning to fur . His bones cracked and elongated until his head was scraping the low roof .He tilts his head , Jooking down at me .
” Couldn’t have picked the living room ? ” H e says , knocking on the roof with his fist before lowering himself to the ground and sitting with his knees bent . ” Sorry , I forgot you’re nearly 8 feet tall , ” I chuckle . ” 7.9 , ” Kaif says , leaning back against the bathroom door frame where the wall was strongest .
Kaif watches me , his eyes calculating , like a predator watching its prey , looking for some weakness , some fault . ” Are you looking to see if what I saw changed me ? ” I ask him , and he nods , looking away guiltily .
” I am not like the rest of them ; I’m aware of your reasons , Kaif ; You don’t scare me , and I’m not scared of our future , so you shouldn’t be either . ” I tell him . ” It always repeats , Love . Forgive me if I a m a little skeptical , ” Kaif says , and I bite the inside of my lip . ” We haven’t had a baby yet . I’m not looking to be a kiddie killer anytime soon , ” I tell him , and his eyes darken , his thoughts turn clouded , and he stares at the floor for a few seconds .
” But the ghosts of my past know you are different . They could try other ways , but I don’t believe you would let them win . ” ” Then why are you worried ? ” ” I guess I’m worried you would hate me , especially for the last few , ” Kaif says . ” Because you never even marked them ? You killed them without even trying to break the curse .
Because they weren’t tainted yet ? ” I ask him , and he nods . ” It still would have been the same with them ; I just eliminated the threat before it became one , ” he says , his eyes flicking to me again .
The look he gave me made me swallow , and I could feel my heart beating faster at his words before I regained myself . ” I have a few theories after everything I have witnessed or envisioned . I picked up a few things , but first , I want to ask you a question ? ” ” I’m all ears , ” he says , wiggling his ears o n top of his head . I laughed and shook my head at him . ” Kyan can’t overhear us , ” I ask him , and he nods.
” He can’t hear anything , but I am curious why you don’t want him to hear what you wanted to talk to me about . ” ” I don’t want to get his hopes up , and until I know for sure it needs to remain between us , not even Jonah is to know . So promise me you will say nothing about it t o either of them .
Kyan has enough heartache . I don’t want him to suffer anymore ; I think we have all suffered enough , don’t you think ? ” Kaif sighs and nods . Kora presses forward , getting a feeling for what I wanted to ask him , and I feel the recognition hit her and her reservations about it . ” Are you sure ? ” she asked me . ” I am pretty certain .

I am just not a witch , so I don’t know if it is possible , ” I tell her . ” And the other thing ? ” she asks . ” It’s worth a shot . Something tells me not to ignore my intuition about that one .
” I tell her . ” Yeah , I got the same feeling the moment you thought it , ” Kora agrees . She remained forward to listen , but she was also reeling with this odd sense of clarity we both now shared . ” Dominic told me my magic anchored him . That’s how I have a connection to him because he gave me his magic , anchoring him to me , ” I tell Kaif , who seems to think my words over .
” Is it possible that he isn’t dead ? ” I asked . ” He is dead , Love ; I watched him be buried , ” Kaif says . I sigh , trying to figure out what I am asking . ” Okay , give me a second , ” I tell him , rubbing my temples and remembering what Dominic has told me .
I blow out a breath when a thought occurs to me , making me look back at him . Lycan’s need vessels right to come back ? ” Kaif nods his head . ” Yes , but not just any vessel .
We can’t last in a human body . If that makes sense , only a werewolf’s body is strong enough , human Lycan hybrid ? ” Kaif tells me . ” Is that possible for witches ? ” I ask him , and he seems to think . ” Depends , ” he says , and I could tell he was really thinking hard on that one .
” Why ? ” he eventually asks . ” I don’t think Dominic is dead . He keeps saying to break the curse and set him free . The last visions , your past visions , he walked through them with me . He said the same thing he always says , but to get him Celeste’s grimoires , he would take care of the rest , ” I tell Kaif and he whispers something under his breath .
” But how would he return if his body was dead ? ” I ask Kaif . ” Easy a Preservation spell . Witches used t o do them to remain young , which would b e easy without a consciousness . Witch power deteriorates the body and the waking mind faster than humans , ” Kaif says . ” So it is possible to preserve a body , but how long for ? I’m not sure exactly .
” Kaif adds , then shrugs . ” The longest I have seen someone leave their body for was Celeste when she was first forced into the Moon Goddess realm . Her body physically stayed in this realm . I t took years before she could break the barrier on the Moon Goddess realm to force it open so she could portal between , but at first , we had guardians that protected her body until she returned to it .
” Kaif tells me . His brows furrow and he growls . ” That’s where I got the spell to make Jonah my guardian , a blood tie , we couldn’t trust just anyone to guard her body , they could have destroyed it so she blood tied them to her , if they killed her body it would kill them , ” Kaif explains scratching his chin .
” Dominic said he is my guardian in a sense , that he anchored himself to me with his magic , ‘ ” I ” Yes , because a witch isn’t truly gone if their magic has been set free … That’s why witches can channel power , the essence of their magic remains long after the body is dead , however , they are dead just their magic lives on not the person ,
” Kaif says and he sits up straighter . ” What about their life force ? Can that be preserved ? ” ” I suppose , in theory , but they would need a lot of magic to do that . No one could harness that sort of power alone . It would need a strong- ” Kaif pauses and looks at me . ” It would need a strong anchor and an infinite power supply ,
” Kaif explains and I could tell he was trying to put this puzzle together as well so it made sense . ” So it is possible . It would also explain why he said he wasn’t really dead , not here , but not part of the shadow realm .
When I … ” I look at Kaif , who growls . ” When I killed myself , I could feel I was dead , but something was holding me still , ” I admit . ” Yes , we were trying to revive you , ” Kaif answers with a growl . ” In the shadow realm , I flickered , while the rest of those trapped were ghostly transparent figures . Dominic was the same as me ; we both looked different from the rest of them . Now Dominic said h e gave me the shadows and his magic . What if I am the vessel just like Kyan is yours , except instead of a vessel for a Lycan ? I am the vessel for his magic which anchored him to me ? ”
” You think he is alive ? ” ” Is it possible ? ” I ask . ” Well , yes , but he has no physical body to return to unless he preserved it , and I am not sure a body can be preserved for that long , Marabella .
Then there is also the question of where he would get a power source from that could tether his life force to it ? ” ” But is it possible ? ” ” Well , yes , but unlikely , ” ” Is there any way to know for sure ?
” ” Yeah , dig up his body … wait … His coffin was spelled shut . We tried to get into it years ago but couldn’t . ” ” What do you mean ? ” ” The talisman . Kyan dropped it in there when he was a boy .
We tried to get it back ; the talisman in the past has also been used to keep me in line . It can drain me of energy and keep me weak when worn . We thought the talisman spelled it shut , but what if we were wrong ? ” Kaif murmurs .
” How so ? ”
” We couldn’t open it . Usually , only the person who locked it can open it when something is sealed . We couldn’t and thought the talisman locked it . But what if it didn’t ? ” Kaif says , looking at me .
I smiled , figuring out what he was getting a ” I have Dominic’s magic , ” I smile . ” You can open it , but that means Dominic had to have spelled it shut before he died , meaning had to have known Kyan would chuck the Talisman in there , ” Kaif seemed thoughtful .
