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 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
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 138 Kaia's POV My heart was racing about what the witch was going to say, if the attack was the harm that was supposed to happen or if we should be preparing for it. Kieran assured me that it was going to be fine…and I believed him until we ran into his mom. Talk about being persistent. "You can leave, it's Kaia I want to see." I heard her say, since I was a few steps behind Kieran. “This was the type of cake I ate when I was pregnant with you, I'm sure she'd like it too.” Lylah snorted, “what does she take us for?" She asked, rolling her eyes. Clarissa came towards me, reaching to hold my hand but Kieran stepped in front of me. “Like I said, we have somewhere to be. But don't worry, I'm sure she'll like it." He reached for the bag but she held tightly to it, causing us to raise our brows. “I'm trying to make amends here, let me take care of her and your child like any mom would.” I could tell that Kieran was restraining himself from going off on her
Chapter 137Clarissa's POV Leaving the house without having Tyler worry about where I was going was easier this time. He was keeping himself busy with the Pack, to the point where I barely saw him except when it was time for either dinner or to sleep. It was like he was back to being the Alpha again, only that this time, I no longer worked side by side with him. Besides, if he knew where I was going to, he probably would develop a heart attack even though that was unheard of among our kind. Hastening my footstep, I made my way out of the pack and at the same time, several ways use to convince that good for nothing Omega that I wanted to make amends. My Lycan was seething, wanting to rip off her throat while she spoke to us. She was the reason the home I spent my entire life building fell apart. And I can't believe Kieran was stupid enough to get her pregnant. She must think that because Kieran was supporting her, she has a right to open her filthy mouth and speak to m
Chapter 136Kaia's POV The answer was very hard.. by the time she was done talking, with me still standing a few feets away, I came to the conclusion that she was definitely making things up. There was no way I could've healed someone at the age of six and even if I did, why didn't I heal my mom? “Because she was already dead." Lylah said. “I know it sounds made up, but I couldn't leave you in the care of your father." She started again, “if he knew about your ability, he would take advantage of it, putting your life at a risk.” "My mom would've believed you.” She shook her head, "she didn't want to listen to anything I had to say that involved you.” She said, but that didn't sound like my mom but she wasn't here to defend herself. “The thing with your Dad wasn't supposed to be anything, I was just going to get information about you from him…” I snorted, "you fell in love.” I said with so much disgust in my tone. A smile that didn't reach her eyes appeared
Chapter 135Kaia's POV Since the attack, I'd focused more on taking care of the children with the girls and also picking out the designs I wanted for the new home we were building. Kieran said he had it in mind to build a home when he found his mate and there was no better time to do that than now when we were expecting our first child. The girls have also been a great help, taking my mind off everything for a few hours. Katherine was still around but she wasn't staying in the Pack house. And Kieran made sure she was avoiding me as much as possible. Even Dylan wasn't left behind. Although they assured me it was nothing, I could tell something else was going but it was probably in my best interest to not know. “I think it's time Caleb and I take having our own pup seriously." Dani said, “you're glowing and I want that for myself too." She cooed. “Do you think it's a bad idea if Ryder and I start trying?" Allie asked and two pairs of eyes snapped to her. The relationshi
Chapter 134Kieran's POV Kaia was still finding it hard coming to terms with the fact that the woman she knew all her life, who she mourned after her death wasn't her real mother and I couldn't blame her…no one could. Even though she argued that that was the only mother she had, it was obvious from her eyes how much she wanted to know about her birth parents. And looking for information without knowing where to start from was harder than it looked. The witch Katherine spoke about was delayed and that was the only clue we had. The records about the prophecy was something the Elders kept and bringing them into it when we weren't certain about anything was like a ticking bomb waiting to explode. For some reason, they held their peace about Kaia's position but I didn't put it past them to blow things out of proportion. “But we need answers!" King reminded me. “We do, but we also need to make sure our mate can handle whatever comes with it." He nodded, just as the door
Chapter 133 Aiden's POV Dylan was fucking with me! He was pushing me to the wall. Sleeping in the dungeon for what he did, was the best punishment he could ask for, but that seemed to only fuel his motivation to disobey me after I clearly gave an order. “Do you want us to bring him back?" Derek, my Gamma asked, his eyes fixed on me as he waited for my instruction. I shook my head. Unlike the last time when he disappeared without a trace, his whereabouts now wasn't a secret. The thought that he might be carrying out the end of the deal crossed my mind, where he would give me all the information I needed. But that didn't seem like the Dylan I grew up with. His new found relationship with Kaia was amusing. Before now, he didn't hide how much he hated his mom moving on and marrying her dad. But now, he was acting like a saint. “Alpha," one of my warriors called through the mindlink, the urgency in his voice jerking me out of my thoughts and back to the present. “Wh
Chapter 132 Felix’s POV “They knew we were coming…they fucking knew we were coming!” I growled. I had been so certain Kieran wasn't in the Pack when we got there, but when he showed up halfway, it confirmed the fact that he knew something was up. Instead of catching them by surprise, it was the other way around but there was no way I was going to give up. We were already there and she was going to come back with me no matter what. “We lost a lot of men, Boss." My second in command, who was nursing a bruise of his own said. “No doubt they were expecting us. Do you think we have a mole among us?" He asked. A mole? My men knew better than to betray me. And if by mistake there was, they had better die in the fight because by the time I was done with them, they'd be praying for death. For a few seconds, the thought of Nessa going behind me crossed my mind but that girl hated them more than I did, so I pushed the thoughts away. Another thing that made this mission unsuccessful,
Chapter 131Kaia's POV Kieran shifted uncomfortably as she came closer and with each step that she took, I tried to make myself smaller into the chair but that did nothing to ease the dread I felt just looking at the woman who singularly made my life miserable. Lylah was also pacing around in my head. “Why would Kieran bring her here?" She asked me. The look on the guys face told me they knew about her being here. I felt Kieran reach for my hand but I pulled it away, betrayed that knowing fully well what she did to me, he still let her into the Pack. “It’s not what you think, Bella.” He said through our mindlink. I snorted, standing up. “You have an explanation for why this woman is here? Beautiful!” I exclaimed and without waiting for whatever his explanation was going to be, I stormed out of the room. "Bella–" But I was already gone, storming past Katherine, Dylan's mom as I went. Kieran's footsteps were behind me. “Come on Bella, listen to me.” He called, as h
Chapter 130 Kaia's POV “Let me get this straight," I began, my eyes darting to Dylan on the bed and back to the siblings, who just told me what has to be the most insane tale I've heard in all of my existence and as weird as it sounded, the proof was right in front of me. “I have the ability to form a shield if I'm in danger?" I asked, and the siblings nodded. “It was so cool…shocking and confusing at first, but you kinda get used to it.” Allie said, smiling widely. I turned to Kieran because for someone who was thrown against the wall just the previous day, she was sounding way too cheerful for my confused self, who was trying to make sense of everything they told me. Apparently, seeing Dylan get hurt somehow triggered my protective side which caused me to release the shield. And it wasn't just any shield, as the moment it came upon them, it began to heal them as well, which was one of reasons Dylan was alive. "Do you think the moon goddess is using me as an experime
