Fated To The Alpha

Chapter 271

Jonah POV I knew the moment she marked him , I felt it . And I also felt Kaif stir and shove forward ,

though not out of anger but more curiosity , and I knew she marked Kaif . The bond surged , and my

mark heated on my neck , tingling , making me shiver as the bond grew stronger than ever . I had only

just stepped out of the fire exit when it sounded like a bomb went off . The windows blasted , bursting

and raining glass down everywhere .

The power going out caused enough chaos , but this caused a stampede in the foyer . Panicked people

screaming and rushing out of the building . Some screamed about terrorists while one of my smartass

employees , Ben , screamed out ” It’s aliens , ” to frighten them more . I click my tongue and shake my

head .

Humans were so gullible ! Walking over to the foyer desk , I see security staff rushing everywhere . I

had already mind – linked to let them know what was going on .

” Get all First Aid officers out here . They will be needed , ” I quickly add through the link . No doubt

people would have been injured by the exploding glass . Sirens blared loudly outside . Even the

Tornado signals were blaring in the street , not that we ever got Tornados here . Stopping next to Ben

at the foyer desk , he talked to staff on the walkie – talkie . It is a waste if you ask me , with all Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

employees being a werewolf and part of Kyan’s Pack .

Yet we had to keep up appearances so kind of necessary . ” Kyan lost the plot ? ” Ben asks . His white

button – up shirt had minor tears , and blood drops from where he was sprayed with glass . Although

he was already healed , he looked like a bloody mess . His sandy blonde hair stuck up in every

direction .

” Nope , Marabella marked Kaif , ” I tell him . ” Kyan will have fun explaining this away , ” Ben states .

Nothing that couldn’t be put down to natural disasters . I can already see earthquake headlines . ” He’ll

handle it . Money talks , something he has plenty of , ” I tell him , and he nods . ” Ambulances are the

way , so is an electrician .

Security is monitoring the casino . All the machines went down . And everyone else is playing medic . I

sent Scott to assess the damage , ‘ ” he tells me , and I nod just as the backup generators kick in and

light up the place . Now with better visuals , I see the destruction at total capacity .

Walking out the front of the casino , the street wasn’t much better . It was complete chaos . I walked

back inside with a sigh , deciding authorities would take care of everything outside the casino . They

were all in Kyan’s pocket anyway . Just another thing he would have to handle . ” Alpha ? ” Ben calls

from the foyer desk , waving me over with his hand .

Glass crunches under my shoes as I make my way back to the white counter . He was looking at a

laptop , and I walked around the counter to see what he was looking at . ” We have 908 patrons staying

in the hotel tonight . What do you want me to do ? ” ” Send someone to check their rooms and make

sure everyone is accounted for . Send security and medics up to each floor . All those staying issue

refunds , and give vouchers for next time if they ever return.

Also , see if any available hotels off the main street have vacancies for those wanting to leave , ” I tell

him . Ben nods , writing everything down on a sticky note while I turn to go check the bar area , walking

away from the chaos . Despite the explosion , most of those in the bar area thought it was more reason

to keep drinking . Macy was working behind the bar with Soyer . Both of them are still serving . Macy

smirks as I approach .

” What’s up , boss ? ” Soyer asks as I approach . I walked around the counter to the registers , which

had been opened manually since the generators wouldn’t run those . They mainly only powered the

elevators , lighting , fridges , and security cameras . ” Call last round on the house , get the cashboxes

to the safes and start to clean up . ” They both nod , and Macy slides a glass of whiskey across the

counter , full to the brim . I raise an eyebrow at her , and she whistles , nodding toward my crotch .

I look down at the front of my pants and ” Fuck ! ” Macy laughs , serving someone before waving their

money away . I scull the glass hoping it would help mute the bond , but now she pointed i tout , I was

smashed with the feelings through the bond . Their arousal going to the forefront of my mind . ”

Suppose I know where you are going then , ” Soyer laughs while I try to readjust myself . Why didn’t I

put underwear on ! I tap the counter , and Macy laughs , sliding another glass over to me .

” You’re not heading up ? ” Soyer asks when I scull the glass before walking over and grabbing the

bottle . ” No , they only just sorted things out . I will let them have a moment , ” I say , tipping the bottle

to my lips ; I chug a few mouthfuls and shake my head as heat rushes through me , burning down my

throat and into my stomach . ” Well , I am off to hide somewhere no patrons are , ” I chuckled , about to

walk out of the small bar door when Macy rushes over to me .

She takes off her apron and tosses it at me , and I groan at the tent I fucking pitched . ” It won’t hide it ,

” I tell her , tossing it back to her . ” Worth a try , ” she laughs , flicking her chocolate brown hair over

her shoulder before pulling it in a bun on top of her head . I headed out to staff areas toward the

security office . I instantly get laughed at by Daniel as I walk past his desk . He was head of security ,

an older gentleman with greying hair and a beard that went to the middle of his chest that was braided .

His eyes crinkled as he laughed and snorted at my erection . ” Fuck up , you old fossil , ” I snap at him .

” Hey , Midnight Delight is down the street . Sure , someone there will take care o f you ; don’t come in

here with that . I ain’t helping ya out , ” he laughs . I growl at him . ” Marked and Mated ! Idiot , and

have you seen the girls in that place , should be called Midnight Fright , not Delight , ” I tell him , with a

disgusted shiver . Flopping into one of the chairs with my bottle of whiskey . Daniel shrugs .

” I don’t mind them ; they get the job done , ” he laughs . ” Yeah , probably because they are all about

your age , went once , and the lady had more wrinkles than my nutsack , ” I tell him . He laughs and

shakes his head ; going back to monitoring the screens . A few hours later , I headed back to the

apartment , becoming distracted by the shit storm the explosion caused . Exhausted , I make my way

back upstairs , unlocking the door . The breeze from the busted windows makes me shudder .

I shower quickly before walking around to my side of the bed . Mara was tucked under the blankets ,

and I could tell she was still naked as the blanket was pushed down to her waist , giving me a nice view

o f her perky boobs . Jax licks his chops in m y head , wanting to chew on one of them . Bloody grub .

I shake my head at my horny wolf , pull the blankets back , and climb into the bed to hear Kyan snicker

. As I rolled on my side . ” Fucking asshole , ” I tell him , feeling the dampness of the mattress . ” You

don’t even seem fazed , ” he says , sitting up on his elbow looking over at me . ” Some random I would

be , but my mates .

Na , I’m all good , ” I laugh , and he scrunches his face up . ” I am surprised you’re not spring cleaning ,

” I tease him . His aggravation is evident through the bond at me , mentioning the room’s state . ” Don’t

, I am pretending the room is in order , ” he growls , and I shake my head before tugging Marabella

closer . She rolls into me and sighs . Like a magnet , Kyan moves into her and drapes his arm over her

waist and my arm .

” We will have to go back to the manor while this place gets fixed up , ” I tell him before yawning . ”

Yeah , you should probably just move your stuff back home , ” Kyan says , pressing his face into the

back of Mara’s neck and inhaling her scent . ” Can I have a drawer too ? ” I laughed at his invitation to

move in with him . Not like he had much choice now . ” You do have a drawer in my bloody room filled

with all the crap you leave at my place , ” he says , and I shrug .

I usually help myself to his shit , anyway . Moving in with him wouldn’t be much different . I spent the

majority of the time in the city there with him , anyway . ” You better get a bigger bed . Yours is a little

squishy , ” I tell him , yawning and closing my eyes . ” Already ordered one . Should arrive tomorrow

assuming Ella didn’t blow up the factory as well , ” he laughs . Before closing my eyes , I nod .

I should have realized he would have everything sorted , The man ; I swear he had files in his head o f

everything set in place , and heaven bit something doesn’t line up with his schedule or on time .

Marabella POV Waking the following morning , the morning air was freezing . Jonah was asleep beside

me , although Kyan was no longer in bed . Tugging the covers back , I climb out of bed . It was still

early in the morning . Stretching and yawning , I place my feet on the floor , before I lift them ,

DARECE remembering the broken glass , only to open my eyes to find the room spotless . ” Kyan ! ”

Kora sighs , and I nod , walking to the bathroom to pee . When I am finished , I steal Jonah’s dressing

gown and his slippers before stepping out into the hallway . Besides the broken windows , everything

was in order , the curtains blowing inward from the slight breeze but everything was spotless . Turning

the corner into the kitchen , I run into the Kyan carrying coffee .

” Woah , bloody scared me . I was about to wake you , ” Kyan says , holding a mug out t o me . I take it

from him and he pecks my cheek before wandering off down the hall while I wondered what time he got

up to clean all this . ” Jonah , I am leaving , ” I hear him say to Jonah before Jonah grunts when I hear

the sound of flesh on flesh , and Kyan snickers as he comes back down the hall . ” Coffee on the

bedside table , now get up !

” Kyan calls to him as he comes back out to the kitchen . ” What time did you get up ? ” I ask him . ” Not

long after Jonah got home , we will b e going back to the manor today , so grab what you need . I have

to go see the mayor and a few officials . So I will be awhile . ” he Hitl says , pulling his suit jacket on

over his black button – up shirt hanging on the back of the dining table chair .

He buttons it up . ” Shit , my car isn’t here , ” Kyan growls . He spots Jonah’s keys on the microwave .

H e snatches them off before grabbing me and kissing me . His tongue invaded my mouth , and I tried

to pull away , worried about morning breath , but he didn’t seem to care . My mug clutched tightly in my

hand as I tried not to spill it over him .

He lets me go before looking behind me toward the bedroom , making me look over my shoulder to see

Jonah walking toward us . ” I am taking your car , ” Kyan tells him , and Jonah waves him off with his

hand , looking exhausted . He kisses my head as h e walks past me toward the kitchen sink . H e

yawns loudly , leaning on the bench and sipping the coffee Kyan made him . ” I’m up happy , Boss ? ”

Jonah groans and Kyan nods , turning his attention back to me .

” Love you , I need to go . I should have already , ” Kyan says before walking out in a rush . I shake my

head while Jonah glances around the place . ” Kyan ! ” we both say simultaneously , looking at how

clean the place is now . Jonah shakes his head before dumping his mug in the sink , pouring the

contents down the drain .

He then walks back toward the room . Where are you going ? ” I ask . ” Back to bed , I didn’t get in till

after 2 , ” h e states . ” Well , I am ringing my brother . We are ? ” I call out to him before thinking of a

reason to go with him . ” We’re going to lunch , ” I tell him . ” My card is in my wallet , ” Jonah sings out

, and I nod before remembering he can’t see me .

” Thank you ! ” I get no reply but feel him fall asleep , which would undoubtedly anger Kyan that he

went back to bed . Heading into the room , I retrieve some clothes and put them in the main bathroom ,

not wanting to wake Jonah before stealing his phone and dialing Eziah’s number .

He answers after the second ring . Marabella ? ” he says . ” How did you know it was me ? ” I ask . ”

Inkling I had , what’s up ? ” ” Don’t suppose you could help me with something ? ” I ask him ,

remembering to keep my voice low , not wanting to wake Jonah and have him overhear . ” If it’s to buy

you pads again , the answer i s no , get one of your boy toys to do it , ” he says , and I roll my eyes . ”

No , but it is important . ” Eziah sighs . ” Fine , where are you ? ”

” The Casino , ” ” You want me to come to the city ! ” he groans . ” That’s hours in the car . When you

said you wanted help , I thought you asked because you were at Uncle Andrei’s or in town ! ” he

whines . ” Please ? ” ” Ah fine , I will be a few hours , ” he says . ” Just portal here , ” I tell him . ” Ah , I

can’t . Do you think I can just portal whenever I want ?

I can only do that leaving the Moon Goddess realm , ” ” Then go – to the Moon Goddess realm , ” I tell

him . ” And what do you want me to tell mum ? A h , can you drop me into the realms so I can take a

shortcut to the city ?

” ” Yep , besides , I need you to go there anyway to look for something , ” I tell him . ” You’re lucky

you’re my twin , or I would disown you for making me your little bitch all the time , ” he growls and I

laugh . ” So , is that a yes ? ” ” Yes , Marabella . Now , what am I looking for in the realm ? ” ” Celeste’s

Grimoires and I need that dagger , ” ” You want me to steal mum’s dagger and a n old book ? ” ” It’s not

stealing . We are borrowing , ‘ ” Did you ask mum ? ”

” No , but you can , ” I chuckle . ” Of course you didn’t . Fine , where am I meeting you ? ” I bite the

inside of my lip , knowing this would raise questions . ” City graveyard , ” I tell him . He falls silent on

the other end of the phone . ” We are not raising the dead , Marabella , ” ” No , we are just digging up a

grave , ” I tell him .

” So I suppose I gotta bring a bloody shovel , too ? ” ” If you don’t mind , it may look funny if I carry one

through the main street , ” he growls . ” Anything else . Do you need a bodily organ , an alibi ? ” ” I will

let you know on the organ and Alibi is already sorted . I told Jonah we are having lunch together ,

” ” Great , I am bringing a picnic basket too , ” Eziah says , and I laugh . ” Thank you . I love you . ” I tell

him . ” Love you too , see you in an hour , ” he says , and I hang up . I place the phone down before

turning on the shower . Now t o just dig up my father in – laws grave and hope to god we can break this

curse before the madness comes for me .
