Semua Bab Mated To The Lycan Twins: Bab 201 - Bab 210

JORDAN POV By the time I get to Jayden, I feel woozy from his drinking. I pull up out the front expecting him to be waiting outside, only he isn't. I try ringing him, but when he doesn't answer, I get out and unlock the door with the spare key.“Jayden?” I call out, but get no answer as I step into the foyer. All the lights are off when I hear garbled talking coming from the kitchen.I walk over and push the door open to find Jayden sprawled out on the floor, talking aloud to Kaif. I chuckle and walk over to him and stand above him. Jayden lifts the bottle he is clutching before it bangs to the floor with his clumsiness as I peer down at him.“My shirt has creases,” he slurs. I look him over and shake my head in amusement. It is rare to catch Jayden this vulnerable, rare at all for him to allow himself in such a state where I can see his vulnerability.“Yes, it does,” I laugh while bending down and grabbing his shoulders. I pull him to sit up.“Kaif is being an asshole,” he slurs, and

Marabella POV Upon feeling someone move and hearing Jayden groan, I am roused awake as he tucks me closer to him, burying his face into my neck. He slowly rolls me toward him, and I am enveloped in his heady fragrance. The warmth of him seeps into my skin, covering me in his scent. Jordan, in turn, pulls him closer. His arm lay across Jayden’s waist, his hand resting on my lower back. And this feels perfect. This is how it was meant to be. How it should have been from the very start.“I feel like shit,” Jayden groans against my chest. I run my fingers through his dark, tousled hair, my nails making circles on his scalp, and he groans in approval. I blink, wondering what time it is because the sun is already pretty high in the sky, from what I can tell through the light filtering into the room between the cracks of the blinds. Damn, how long have we been sleeping?Jordan tugs Jayden closer, and Jayden lifts his head, looking down at Jordan's muscular arm pulling him closer. I chuckle,

Marabella POVWeightlessness consumes me, the oblivion fades when I am suddenly somewhere else. A place I have never seen before, in a time that no longer exists. A woman stands next to a huge square stone, a man on the other side. His resemblance to Kyan and all Octavian men is uncanny. Witches circle around, chanting, their hands in the air as storm clouds swirl above. Their clothes and dresses tell me this is a period of time that existed centuries ago, long before my existence.“Once this is done, it cannot be undone, Kaif,” the woman says. He peers over his shoulder at the young woman, who stands off to the side but within arms reach of Kaif. She has the same regal air to her as the woman who holds out her hand to Kaif; a dagger is in her hand, the same blade I saw upstairs, yet no gemstone is in its hilt.“It's the only way, Celeste; I will not lose her,” Kaif tells the woman, her dark flowing curls pick up in the wind, blowing behind her like a dark veil as magic surges around,

MarabellaThe lights flicker a few times before the generator kicks in, and they remain on. An ominous feeling settles in and surrounds me. Both Jordan’s and Jayden’s phones start ringing loudly, breaking the silence, and I am startled by the noise. Jayden snatches his phone off the bedside table and glances at it before chucking it to Jordan.“Floor Manager,” Jayden says as Jordan catches it. He picks up his own phone that is on charge. He looks down at the screen, cocking a brow, and looking back at Jayden.“And I get security,” Jordan says, quickly answering it. He rejects the call on Jayden’s phone before walking over to the closet and pulling a shirt on. He talks to whoever is on the phone with him, before hanging up and coming out of the closet dressed in black slacks and a button-up shirt. Despite the current situation, I take a second to appreciate how good he looks, my Jordan, my mate. Mine!“I’ll handle this. Will you be alright alone with Mara?” Jordan asks, eyeing me worrie

Marabella POV “What if the talisman was the key to locking it? Like, I don't know a timer, waiting for it to be placed inside with him to seal it?” I ask him as I start pacing before him. This could be possible, right? I might be getting at something.Kaif hums. “That is possible, but we have no idea how he sealed it. Did he tell you the spell?” he asks me, and I can see the glimmer of hope in his eyes.I stop in my step and turn to him. “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 ask. The more we talk, it feels like puzzle pieces are clicking into place. We need to figure this out.“Jayden 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, crossing my arms thoughtfully. We are getting somewhere.“That damn prick, I bet he is real smug a
