Chapter 66Kieran's POV My meeting with the Alpha's ended, it was the same results. Nobody had heard about that kind of substance before, but I made sure they would keep their eyes open and inform me if they heard anything. Then I went down to the dungeon to see if the prisoner had changed his mind about keeping quiet…he hadn't. Next, I went to have a meeting with the warriors but that didn't end well when different emotions, belonging to Kaia hit me at once. “Are you okay?" I asked her through our mindlink, “your emotions are all over the place." But instead of a response, I felt a wall rising. She'd blocked me. I frowned, “what was going on?" The warriors could tell that something was wrong, but nobody asked me as I hurriedly left the meeting to go in search of her. I ran into Caleb, "Alpha? You're already here?” He asked me, his brows furrowing. He was supposed to be dealing with the other groups -The AXE Running a hand through my hair, I nodded. “Somet
Chapter 67Kaia's POV Dinner was over and Kieran was nowhere to be found. He'd blocked me out and I couldn't stop pacing around in the room. “This is why you shouldn't block people out, it drives the other party crazy.” I thought and Lylah snickered. At any tiny sound, my head jerks to the door hoping he would enter but there was no such luck. I felt my chest tightened at the thought of something happening to him. Did he run into the shooter again? “Why didn't you tell me if I was going far?" I queried Lylah. She snorted loudly, “You call that far? You went overboard, defying him in front of his members and then you took your step brother's side…do you want more?” "Then why didn't you stop me?” "Would you have stopped if I asked you to?" I kept quiet, she had a point. I had been so concerned about how Dylan was to care about anything else and now, calming down to play everything all over again, I knew that I really have overdone it this time. “Can you reach K
Chapter 68 Kaia's POV For some reason, I still couldn't stop thinking about Dylan, if he was okay and how he got into the situation in the first place. But telling Kieran was out of it. I barely survived one day with him being mad at me, I'm sure it'd be worse if it happens again. Now that Lylah was back, Kieran was taking active steps to finding out what else Lylah could do apart from healing. He didn't want to assume that all that came up in the records they found was all she could do. Besides, I haven't noticed anything else and I haven't shifted since then either. “What are you thinking so hard about?" Ryder said, sitting beside me on the couch. Kieran had gone with the pack doctor to discuss other details that I definitely wasn't interested in, so I stayed back in his office and so did Ryder. “Nothing," came my sharp reply. “Do you believe that?" My shoulder slumped as I rested my back against the couch. “I don't know. No matter how hard I try, I can't
Chapter 69Kaia's POV “Dani!" I yelled. "What's going on, Lylah?” I asked my wolf, my body trembling. "I don't know either, I can sense that something is wrong, that's all.” "Do you know where she is?” I asked again. She didn't reply, instead, she showed me the directions to go. I was running like something was after me, making some of the pack members turn to look at me, but I didn't care as I kept running. Lylah yelled the direction to go which I followed without a word. The more we kept going, the more confusion set in. It wasn't even up to five minutes that she left me but I've been running for over that but she was nowhere to be found. Soon, I was almost at the forest which was far away from the pack house, and closer to the borders. My worry intensified when I still couldn't find her. If we were this close to the borders and her scent had gotten all the way here, “was she still in the Pack?" Shaking the thoughts away, “she has to be." A familiar voice
Chapter 70Kieran's POV “How the fuck did they get inside the pack and no one knew?” I demanded, my voice rising in anger. “There are patrol warriors at the borders, how did they get past them?” Frustration evident on my features. As the strongest pack ever known, I took pride in the safety of my members no matter what, but now, right under my nose, they were hurt. “I don't think they passed through the borders, Alpha.” Ryder said. He was just as frustrated as I was. Dani had gotten hurt, it could be anyone next time. And they had the nerve to even send a message. “You think they were already inside?" "That's the only reasonable explanation for this. I've had the warriors on double shifts since we caught uhmm…Luna's brother.” My head snapped to him, "Step brother.” "Sorry Alpha.” I let out a groan as I was going away from the main topic. If they were already inside, it raises a lot of questions. “Were they also members of my pack or have they been in the pack j
Chapter 71Caleb's POV “Those bastards!" I thought. They made a mistake coming for my mate just to send a message to me. My footsteps echoed off the wall as I made my way to the dungeon where Dylan was. As much as I'd suggested talking to you about the witches, it doesn't take away the fact that I wanted him to remain in there. “Do you think he’s going to talk?” Ryder asked, walking beside me, his expression unreadable. “That's the last thing ww need to worry about. If i have to cut him open bit by bit for that to happen, then i’m going to do exactly that.” I replied. "No one hurts mate and gets away with it!” My wolf growled. The warriors guarding him bowed when they saw us and moved out of the way. He was sprawled on the floor and the slow rising and falling of his chest being the only indication that he was alive. His body wasn't healing even after the wolfsbane stopped coming. “Open the door." I commanded, moving backwards. “Yes, Beta Caleb." The door s
Chapter 72Kaia's POV Dylan was awake now and compared to the last time I saw him, he looked better. His wolf was slowly healing him and the person I recognized was returning. He didn't say anything as I helped him up, giving him food and water. That was the least I could do at the moment since Kieran has forbidden me from using my powers on him. “Ryder, are you seriously going to stand there all through?" I asked him, my eyebrows raising in disbelief. “Sorry Luna, Alpha's command." He replied. I took a deep breath, “of course he told him." I thought, as I'd already told Kieran, I was going to the child care. Lylah snorted, “your excuse was nothing close to being believable. He just let you go because he knew they would be here." Dylan was sitting with his back resting against the wall, his eyes remaining on mine even, his blue eyes, were a contrast to the dark circles underneath as I spoke to Ryder and then Lylah. “I was wrong," he started, his voice still soun
Chapter 73Kieran's POV My gaze met Dylan's who looked away, bowing his head. King was still distracted from the look Kaia had on her face before she left. He was also wearing a familiar one, even though nothing was said. “I’m going to ask some questions and I need you to answer them because I would not hesitate to throw you back to the dungeon. Do I make myself clear?" My voice firm. "Yes, Alpha.” He replied, "I've told you ever…" he continued, but paused when Caleb glared at him. “How did you hide your scent for that long?” I asked, that seemed like the best place to start. He paused, his eyes widened in confusion as he looked between the three of us. “I had help…ermm.” He trailed off. When he didn't continue, I took slow strides towards him, a smirk playing on my lips. He must think I was here to spend time with him. Caleb passed me a bottle of wolfsbane and once he saw it, his expression faltered, but was back on almost immediately. He then paused, like he w
Chapter 79Kaia's POV I let out another sigh for the umpteenth time that morning, causing the girls to look up at me, worry etched on their faces. They had an idea of what happened the previous day…at this point, I'm sure everyone has an idea what went down with how loud their voices were. It felt like the walls were going to drop and I had to deal with an extremely horny wolf…she found Kieran's authority sexy. I mean, it was but I couldn't afford to drool when he was going at it with his dad. His dad has to be the biggest…no, huge is the word. I wondered how he got anything in his size. “Okay, what is it?" Allie asked, when another sigh escaped my lips. I looked up at her, “what do I do?" I asked and a frown appeared on their faces. “Your dad was really angry yesterday. I barely got a wink of sleep no matter how hard I tried." “And just like I told you, there's nothing for you to worry about." Allie started, placing both hands on my shouldes. "That was just two
Chapter 78 Kieran's POV “A witch, really!" My mom yelled, pushing her way into my office despite Allie's insistence against it. I raised my head to look at her without an expression on my face. I love how she thinks she could come into my office like it was her room. Since the meeting with the elders which didn't go the way she wanted to, I haven't seen her…until now that is. “Excuse us." I ordered. Ryder looked at me for a few seconds before bowing and leaving the room. My sister wore a worried look but I mind-linked her, assuring her that it was okay and she didn't have anything to worry about. Kaia, who was laying in my arms also stood up, but my hand around her tightened and I didn't miss the confused look that appeared on her face. “Why is she still here?" My mom asked. “Because she is my mate and Luna, and you will treat her as such." I replied, my voice coming out low and harsh. Sitting upright, I pushed myself up and went towards my desk, pulling on
Chapter 77Kaia's POV The door burst open, revealing Kieran and Ryder. My hand around Dylan quickly dropped to my side as I stepped away from him. I'm certain that at this point Kieran was done with Dylan and was probably contemplating how to hang him somewhere. “What's going on here?" Kieran asked, his eyes looking past me, glaring at Dylan. By now, the two of them had separated and were now avoiding looking at Kieran. Only if they had listened to me in the first instance, this would've gone a completely different way. “I was just introducing them to my brother.” I lied, moving to stand in front of him. Dani snorted, but she attempted to cover it with a cough but failed miserably. We'll talk about that later. “I came to check up on her like you asked and we were just leaving.” Allie said, finally getting over whatever came on her earlier. Of course, he didn't buy it. He turned to Ryder, whose eyes were glued to Allie, who was also pretending not to notice him, and
Chapter 76Unknown POV (From the point where Kieran was shot.) “He's alive." I said. “What the fuck do you mean he's alive?" He asked, raising his voice, his eyes widening like they were going to pop out of their sockets. I shrugged, “are you sure you hit him because he's walking around the pack like nothing happened." He let out a low growl, I could tell that I was already getting on his nerves. Not that it was anything new. “I've never missed, and I made sure to hit him twice. He fell to the ground, the poison definitely affecting him." He said, but my eyes only remained on him without saying anything. Everyone knew that Alpha Kieran was obsessed with his mate and as much as I hated to admit it, it was pretty obvious to anyone with eyes. So imagine my surprise when it came out that she was nowhere to be found. Nobody said anything out loud, but I heard whispers from the members that she ran away. Alpha Kieran was so distraught and it was the best to strike.
Chapter 75 Kaia's POV “Why did you hate me?” I asked him. His head jerked upward to meet mine, his face scrunched up in confusion like he couldn't believe I would ask something like that. But it was a question I've asked myself over and over time. I don't think I did anything to him…apart from being weak, but that didn't affect him personally. Everyone knew we weren't really related, so he couldn't claim that he was ashamed. “Hate you? Why would you think that?" "You're seriously asking me that?” I deadpanned. "We spent years being siblings and this is our first normal conversation that doesn't have me trembling.” He looked away, "it doesn't mean…I didn't hate you." He said, a sigh escaping his lips. “I don't hate you." I raised an eyebrow at him, my hands crossed in front of me. “You want me to believe that? You're going to have to make it believable." “Damn girl! You do know how to take care of yourself." Lylah said, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes a
Chapter 74Kaia's POV I remained cuddled in Kieran's arms when we got to his office. I would very much prefer the room after that kiss, but there were sure to be interruptions and I wasn't a fan of them. “I mean, I haven't tried it yet, but I think I can mindlink other people…” I paused, looking up at him, waiting to see his reaction. His eyes widened in surprise, but a hint of smile played on his lips. “How did you…Lylah?” He asked. "Yes, she convinced me to talk to Dylan earlier, but she was also certain I could talk to whomever I wanted to. I haven't had the chance to test it out yet.” His smile quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a frown as he sat upright. "You spoke to Dylan?" His voice came out higher. I nodded, “surprising right! I thought it was because we come from the same Pack. But Lylah thinks otherwise, and now I think I'm finally starting to look forward to all the things we can do.” I replied, offering him a wide grin and his eyes softened as he s
