Chapter 77

Kaia'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 1Kaia’s POV I raised my hand and knocked in the door, the sound echoing through the silence. The door creaked open and Aiden's piercing gaze locked unto mine. “Did anyone see you coming?" He asked, looking behind me to make sure we didn't have company. "No, Alpha.” My voice sounded tired, having cleaned the dishes of over a hundred pack members after dinner. I knew I was a mess but he didn't give me enough time to freshen up. “You’re late.” He growled, his voice low and tough, after he was completely sure we were alone. I swallowed hard. “I'm sorry," I whispered, moving back but he was fast. He reached out and grasped my wrist, his nails digging into them making me wince. He released me once he saw the look on my face. I knew better than to complain after what happened the previous day when I tried to come out all tough. “We have to be fast, Brianne is going to be up soon and I don't want her wondering where I am.” He said, already working on the belt o

    Chapter 2 Kaia's POV I bite back a groan as my body hits the wall. My back throbbing in pain. Brianne was still throwing daggers at me from where she stood beside Aiden, trying to make sure he was okay. Resisting the urge to roll my eyes, I slowly got to my feet, assessing the damage caused by my sudden flight. My dress was torn and from the pain on my back, it wasn't hard to tell that a bruise was forming there. “You bitch! How dare you put your filthy hands on me!” Aiden snarled, his wolf was nowhere to be found. I'm done, my hands were trembling on their own. “I'm s-sorry. I don't know what came over me." I apologized, tears streaming down my face. "I knew you were up to no good when I saw you in that dress." Brianne sneered, "You never learn, do you?" She spat, her eyes bulging. I shook my head, nothing I said to her would prove that I wasn't just making up stories to get out of the trouble I knew was inevitable. I'm sure Aiden knew the truth and his words were

    Chapter 3 Kieran's POV "Remind me again why I need to see a rogue?" I asked Caleb, my Beta, my voice sounding tired from being in a meeting all day combined with my Lycan’s restlessness. “Because you're the Alpha and we need you to decide what to do with her." "What's there to decide? She's a rogue. Did she talk?” I asked. He shook his head. “Not a word. Ryder suggested waiting for you. She was in a bad state when we brought her in.” I nodded and followed him towards the dungeon. A rogue entering our land wasn't a new thing. But over the last few years after I became Alpha, their attack became less frequent and I wanted to keep it like that. As a pack, we took pride in making sure that our members were safe at all times. “Let's get this over with." I thought. Dealing with rogues was definitely my least favorite part of the day. As I approached the cell, my Lycan grew even more restless. He began to jump and dance around my head in excitement. "Mate,

    Chapter 4 Kaia's POV As soon as the words left my lips, I regretted it. His piercing blue eyes were nowhere to be found, instead his wolf forced its way to the surface. I curled myself on the bed, bracing for rejection. For Kieran to tell me that I was right, that he didn't want me as his mate. Instead he moved away from me and out of the door. His footsteps faded down the hallway and I felt a pang of uncertainty. “Why did I have to say anything?" I thought. "Was I going back to the dungeon?” I asked myself since my wolf decided to play hide and seek with me. Since I heard her in the dungeon, I've been trying to call out to her but there was no response and it was killing me. "Why is my life such a tragic story?” I thought. First, I lost the only person who cared about me and then my father married a woman whose son hated my very existence but was also the reason I escaped from my mate who threw me in the dungeon. And now, another Alpha was claiming me as his mate

    Kaia's pov "No, no no." My words played in my head again and again as I stared at him, my heart racing. “Did he just…?" "Yes, yes he did!" My wolf danced in excitement in my head, but I was pale with shock, my lips part in surprise. "Why?" I asked, my eyes finally drifted to meet with his blue ones, and my throat felt like there was a huge lump in there. He wore a puzzled look, “Why what?” He asked. He inched closer, and my heart stopped. Maybe he was joking, maybe this was a plan to make me look stupid like Aiden did. “Are you accepting me now so you can reject me later or you just want me close enough because your Lycan needs his mate?” I snapped before I could stop myself. And I have been doing a lot of it lately. Kaieran's eyes squinted a little before returning to their normal size, and creased lines appeared on his forehead. “Of course not, Kaia." My name rolled off his lips softly. “I'm accepting you because you are my mate, the only one who will complete me. Wh

    Chapter 6Kieran’s POV “How can someone be so effortlessly beautiful?" I wondered, “all she did was stand and I lost my ability to make a complete sentence without making myself look like an idiot." "With a face and body like that, whoever rejected her is the real idiot.” King's words echoed in my mind and I couldn't help but agree. Whoever he was, did us a favour. But I hated that she had to go through so much pain to become ours. A picture of the bruises on her body crossed my mind and a growl left my lips. “Whoever did that to her was going to pay." My thoughts were interrupted when I got to my chambers where Caleb and Ryder were waiting for me. Their heads snapped to me, confusion written on their faces since it has only been a few minutes since I left. "Alpha, do you need something?” Caleb asked, his brows furrowed. I shook my head and sat on the chair opposite him. The only person who could give me what I wanted was in my room and still isn't sure if she wo

    Kaia's POV I groaned, slowly opening my eyes. However, my heart skipped a beat when I noticed Kieran sitting on the bed beside me with his eyes fixed on me. "What the fuck is he doing here?!" I screamed inwardly, trying to steady my breath. He was staring at me, but in a moment, he spoke. "Good morning," his gentle voice rang, and my wolf purred. “I can't believe that even now she was turned on." but I lowered my head, and remained concerned about why he was seated there. "He probably spent the night here. Can't you smell his scent all over the room?" My wolf spoke, but I remained quiet, trying to steady my breath. "He greeted you, don't just stay silent, say something!" My wolf urged, and I instantly shut her up."Stop being pushy!" She kept quiet just as I had told her, and I heaved before raising my eyes to meet his gaze. "G-good morning." Somehow, my response seemed to light him up because he smiled, but it didn't really matter, so I tried to lower my head when

    Kaia's POV Dani's energy was unmatched. We ran into a few people…literally and when they complained, she glared at them like it was their fault. As we stepped into the Mall's spacious interior, it felt like we were in a different dimension. People moving around with different agendas. Everyone was talking about on the top of their voice making everywhere a bit noisy but at the same time, peaceful. “We're going to start with dresses and I know just the perfect store." Dani said. I heard Kieran’s voice before I could respond, “hey." He called softly. "Get as many things as you want, okay?” He continued when I turned back. I managed to nod before Dani pulled me away. “With a body like yours, I'm going to enjoy dressing you up.” "I don't…I don't think so." All I heard about my body was how fat I was and how men were going to find me unattractive. And now, in less than a day of knowing me, she'd complimented me more than anyone close to me. “This is going to be perfe

    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

    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 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

  • Claimed By The Lycan King    Beta's Frustrations

    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 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 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
