Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 244 – I shake my head at Kora’s words, b****y h***y
wolf. Kyan walks around the graves and touches them, looking over them, his tattoos rippled in waves,
and curiosity got the better of me, and I had to know if I saw things or if they actually were moving.
“Random question,” I say, and Kyan raises an eyebrow at me.
“Your tattoos, they move,” I tell him. Gosh, that sounded insane even to my own ears.
“Octavian blood,” Kyan answers.
“That’s all I get. Well, that explains it all,” I tell him, folding my arms across my chest, annoyed.
Kyan rolls his eyes and holds his hand out before twisting his wrist, the tattoos suddenly rippling before
rushing to his hand and forming a ghostly inky sphere that hovered on top of his hand.
“Octavian blood shadows, we are all born with them. They cling to us, react to us, remind us,”
“Of what?” I ask.
“Of everything we have ruined, shadows of our past, each generation is born with some form of
shadows, they usually awaken when you turn 18, unless you are a twelfth gen like me, I was born with
them,”
“So everyone in your bloodline has freaky blood shadows,”
“Yes, my dad had the same markings, though his held past bloodlines of memory and future visions,”
“And yours are different,” Kyan nods.
“Yes, the shadows that taint me aren’t of Kaif’s side. Mine are the shadows of his mates,”
“So why do they look like tattoos,”
“Punishment I guess, well that’s what Kaif believes anyway, I can feel them,”
“His d**d mates?”
“Only their deaths, though, not them, not how you feel…Not how you can talk to my father, I only get
their pain and fear, the worst parts of Kaif, they don’t haunt just him, but his host, a reminder of the
monster I am capable of being if I let him out,” Kyan twists his wrists. They scatter bleeding back under
his skin and move back into the strange patterns covering his chest, back, and arms. Kyan glares at
Hades’ grave.
“So Hades cursed your bloodline because Celeste left him?” I asked, confused.
“No, it is more than that. Celeste took Luna from him when she left him; she refused to let him see his
daughter, which angered Hades,”
“I am failing to follow what you are getting at,” I answered honestly. This was confusing. Kyan sits down
between the two graves and sighs.
“You know the story of how Lycans came to be?” Kyan asks, and I nod.
“Yes, Celeste’s village kept getting attacked by wild wolves, so her and her coven tried to do a spell that
would give them extra abilities, but it went wrong, and they turned into the monsters, and instead, she
created Lycans,” Kyan nods his head.
“Hades was the one that kept manipulating the wolves to a****k her village, he wanted his daughter and
he didn’t care at what cost,”
“So he was sending them to a****k her village, ” Kyan nods.
“So she turned her own daughter into a Lycan?” I ask.
“No, Celeste and her daughter were the only ones that didn’t become Lycan’s. Celeste was a High
priestess witch; she was also a demi-goddess, Luna was a Goddess. They were the only ones that
could, in a sense, manipulate the Lycans to a certain extent, without being k****d by the very monsters
she created,”
I nodded, trying to understand what he was telling me. Kora was also listening intently as Kyan went on
to explain.
“After creating the Lycans, they became savages. She tried to pair them first to other Lycans and bring
their humanity back, it didn’t work. Kaif was the first Lycan in the village that turned. He was the first
created, so when Hades came for his daughter. Celeste knew she had to act quickly because even
though her daughter was now an adult, Hades would still come for her. So to stop him, she bonded her
daughter to Kaif which angered Hades. He didn’t want his daughter paired with her monsters. Luna
refused to leave with him, she refused to leave her mate and the child the son they had together, but
Hades took her anyway,”
Kyan’s eyes flickered to Kaif’s an angry ripple of energy buzzed around us. Circulating within the circle
of huge rocks. My heart rate picks up when I watch his skin ripple, and he shudders, gripping the grass
tightly.
“Don’t worry, Mara. Kyan can’t shift within the ruins. It’s the only place Kaif can’t come forward in his
form,” Jonah explains, and I look over at him. He comes over to me, sitting on the grass.
I also sat down and lay back on the grass, placing my head in his lap, staring up at the sky. It was
overcast, and thick grey clouds covered the sky. It looked like it would rain at some point today… Kora
presses forward, also interested in hearing about the curse on Kyan’s family.
“It smells like it is going to rain,” She confirms, and I nod to her. Jonah brushes my hair with his fingers,
and I turn my face to look over at Kyan who was watching Jonah.
Though he didn’t seem upset when I felt the bond open, making me raise an eyebrow at Kyan.
However, I was shocked and so was Kora that he opened it. Was he trying to reassure us that it was
fine to be with Jonah? I had no idea, and neither did Kora, but yet I could feel Kyan and Kaif, and
neither seemed to mind Jonah’s affections, and Kyan even seemed content watching him.
“I keep waiting for him to go back to psycho Kyan?” Kora admits. If I was honest with myself, I was
waiting for the same thing, waiting for the other shoe to drop and ruin everything.
“So then what happened?” I asked, wanting to know more.
“Luna, being a Goddess, could travel between realms. She came back for her son. Kaif refused to let
her take him, she had been gone for twelve years, and when she came back, Kaif thought she also
came back for him,”
“So that’s when he k****d her?”‘ Kyan shakes his head.
“Kaif tried to get her to stay, but then Luna turned around and rejected him, breaking the bond they
had. When Luna was taken, her son was a year old at the time. Kage, their son, he had no memory of
her, so when Luna tried to k**l Kaif and take her son, Kage plunged a deity dagger through her chest
and k****d her.” Thunder cracked around us, making me jump suddenly before I felt the first drop of rain
hit me. I wiped my cheek where it fell.
“We should head back,” Kyan murmurs, and I look over at him. He peered up at the sky, a troubled
expression on his face before he stood up. I quickly followed, also getting up.
“Thank g*d, I hate this place,” Jonah whined and I chuckled when lightning streaked across the sky
before hitting the tree with a face in its trunk. I jumped at the horrendous noise and expected the tree to
explode, but it remained unmarred.
“Yep, definitely time to go,” Jonah says, jumping to his feet. Goosebumps rose on my arms, and the air
felt electrified. Looking over at Kyan, he stared down at Kaif’s headstone when I noticed Luna’s beside
it had a hole in the center of it about the size of my palm.
“Kyan?” I ask, and he looks over at me, his eyes darkened to that of Kaif’s before nods walking over to
me before shocking me when he wrapped his arm across my shoulders, pulling me to him. We walk out
of the ruins, and a shiver runs up my spine at the sensation of passing through it; it was like passing
through a portal.
“Promise me something?” Kyan says, looking back at the ruins,
“What?”
“If Kaif loses control,” he says. My brows furrow in confusion.
“If Kaif loses control, Ella. Get to the ruins, and wait for Jonah,” he says before looking over my Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
shoulder at Jonah, and I peek back at him, and Jonah nods to him.
“Kaif can’t enter in his form; he would be forced to hand back control,” Kyan says.
“You say that like you expect me to be sticking around,” I tell him, and his lips tug up.
“Maybe,” he chuckles, shaking his head before turning toward the path.
“Keep up,” He says, glancing at Jonah.
“If you can,” Jonah says before he suddenly shifts, shredding his clothes at the exact same time Kyan
does. I shriek when Kaif grabs me. His deep chesty laugh rumbled against my chest, and I gripped his
hairy shoulders, tucking my face to his neck. My legs locked around his waist tightly as he moved. The
air whipped past my ears and sounded like a tornado rushed around us, he moved that quickly, the air
stinging my skin, and it didn’t take him long before he passed Jax, who surprisingly kept up as he ran
across the fields back toward the manor.
