Fated To The Alpha Series chapter 268 by Jessica Hall
” 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 ? ” I asked 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 a t 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 o r 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 m e , 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 t o my feet . I walk over to him , and he looks up at me when I stop in front of him . ” What do you mean ? ” he asks , looking confused .
” One thing I noticed in all your past lives , your vessel was never marked ; I marked Kyan . However , they always went crazy before you let them mark your vessel , ” ” No one did mark my vessel , but she still went mad , ” Kaif corrected me . ” Okay , ” I told him before climbing into his lap . He puts his legs down , and I straddle him . ” But did any of them mark you ? ” I ask him .
” Why would they mark me ? They mark the human side ; that’s what the Lycan’s are bound to , ‘ ” ” ” Yes , but maybe that’s where they went wrong ; the others always got Luna’s version of events , the anger , the hatred ; they never got yours ; I did because Dominic gave me the shadows . I knew the history behind your actions . But what if the key to that was not you marking them or your vessel ?
You give them your biggest regrets when you mark them . What if they mark you ? What if it gave them Luna’s ? ” I tell him . ” You think if they marked me , they would know why I killed them ? ” he asked .
” I don’t think your curse had anything to do with your redemption ; I think it had to do with your rejection ; you don’t need redemption Kaif , you need acceptance , ” I tell him , letting my canines elongate . Kaif cups my face with his huge hand , his thumb brushing over the sharp points of my teeth . ” You want to mark me ? ” Kaif asks . (Dear Readers Latest Chapters Uploaded Everyday on novelheart.com) ” Yes , because to accept Kyan , I must accept you , and I do accept you , Kaif . I don’t hate you for what you did , and I certainly don’t believe you are the monster all your other mates thought you were . So yes , I want to mark you , but then I want you to mark me too , ” I tell him . If the first part didn’t shock him , the last part did because he pulled his face back to stare at me .
His eyes go to the wound he caused the last time he marked me , my skin destroyed and scarred , yet it was his mark , and I loved it anyway , but since the rejection , one thing I had noticed is that it constantly itched , and now I think I know why . Deciding not to give him a chance to fight me on it , Kora shoved forward at blinding speed and I gripped the back of his neck and yanked him to the side before sinking my teeth into his neck . I felt the electricity zapping through me .
A power surge was s o strong it made my entire body heat up like it was being recharged , like a high frequency buzz . My hair stood on end like static . Kaif clutched me to him , his arms wrapping around me firmly .
The darkest parts of him were bleeding into me along with his power , and when I felt the bond slam into me , it was heartbreaking . I could literally feel his soul healing , only now realizing how broken he truly was inside living with ghosts of his past , the demons that haunted him .
It was like all the bad parts left and bled out of him . And when the last remnants left everything shattered , the power surge so strong everything started exploding and I felt him move as the windows burst , shielding me with his body , car alarms blared loudly and the entire building started shaking . I gasped a t the power that flooded into me and my teeth pulled from his neck .
The room was in darkness again and Kaif stared down at me before wiping my lips that were stained with his blood with his hand . He looks around and I could feel the cold draft coming from the burst windows ; the curtains flapping in the breeze , and alarms and sirens could be heard outside .
” Would you blame me if I said I am a little hesitant to mark you after that ? ” he chuckles , looking around the room before looking back at me . He licks my cheek and I offer him my neck , tugging the neck of m y shirt to the side for him . I felt his tongue roll over the spot . ” Hopefully we don’t bring the place down around us , ” He murmurs . ” You didn’t last time , ” I tell him .
” No , I just nearly killed you , which isn’t much better , ” Kaif says . Yet I knew what h e meant , everything was always done in the wrong order , he claimed when he needed to be claimed himself .
” Well , let’s bring the building down , ‘ I laugh . ” Kyan would kill me , ” he chuckles . ” Good thing you’re indestructible then , ” ” I tell him offering him my neck again . He hesitated for a second before sinking his teeth into my neck over Jonah’s and Kyan’s marks .
The moment he did I gasped . His teeth sliced through my flesh and went straight into bone , though I was given something else instead of nearly dying or a power surge . Given a glimpse of who Kaif was before he was made a Lycan . Given a glimpse of his humanity before it was taken from him .
Kyan was the reincarnation of his true self , strong and dominant protector . Power oozed from him . Even then , he was a gentle giant of man before becoming a savage beast when he was just a man , and a warlock .
No power was given . Instead , he gave me something far better . He gave me himself . His entire life flashed before my eyes . Every thought , every memory , everything that made him , he gave to me and no one’s soul was as beautifully dark as his . He truly was magnificent , but one thing remained even after his humanity was long gone .
He protected those he loved , even if it meant killing pieces of himself to do it . Tears pricked my eyes at the relief as he let go of the hurt and anguish he carried for all those years before he pulled his teeth from my neck .
” Thank you , ” Kaif whispered . Before I could say anything , he shifted and Kyan was suddenly hovering above me . Kyan looks around startled and I could feel Kaif just as clearly as I could feel Kyan and Jonah . ” You broke him , ” Kyan said , feeling sad for Kaif , but I shook my head and Kyan looked down at me . ” No , I set him free , ” I tell him . I could feel the wholeness settling through Kaif and I could tell what Kaif was feeling felt foreign to Kyan .
Kyan’s eyes go to my neck where Kaif marked me . He brushed his fingers over the mark and it tingled . ” You set him free , ” he whispered . ” I will admit though , that I broke your casino and I am pretty sure the entire main street , ” I tell him .
He looks around the room . ” You definitely did that , ” he said , shocked . I chuckled before pressing my lips into a line . ” You think this funny ? ” Kyan chuckled . ” Just a little , ” I tell him .
” I should punish you , the cleanup will be horrendous , ” He laughed . ” You could try , but I am pretty sure I overpower you now ?
” I tell him . ” Is that right ? ” he says , leaning down . ” I can think of a few other ways to punish you , ” he growled , nipping at my lips before kissing me . I wrap my legs around his waist , tugging him flush against me . ” Punish away then , Sir , ” I giggle . ” Sir ? “
” I ain’t calling you daddy ? ” I laugh . ” Ah , sir , it is then , ” Kyan laughs before kissing me and forcing his tongue between my lips.
