Chapter 23

Allie's POV

I sighed as Kaia pulled away from the room and my brother, who was confused about what she was talking about.

“How did you know?" I asked, crossing my hands on my chest.

For the longest while, I thought I hid it well. But with her comment a few minutes ago, it was obvious I was only deceiving myself and I wasn't as sneaky as I thought.

She shrugged, “I mean, it's really obvious. And except they choose to play along, I'm pretty sure everyone can see it." She replied and a loud groan escaped my lips.

“But I hid it so well!"

Kaia snorted, "you look at him like he stole your candy. And I would know a lot about that.” She said, a sad look flashed through her eyes and I sighed again.

My crush on Ryder began the moment I knew what it meant…which was really young. But even at a young age, I found him really charming. I always thought he was good looking and kind because even as my brother's best friend, he made me feel included.

Then I learnt t

    Chapter 24Kaia's POV. After seeing the look on Ryder's face, I concluded that Allie would be in a worse situation and I was right when less than ten minutes later, we found her sleeping in the pavilion. Her face was stained from crying. It must've been hard, and a part of me was curious about what might have happened to put the two of them in their present situation. “Boys can be foolish sometimes." Dani, who just returned from visiting her parents said and I nodded. “I know Ryder wants to wait for his mate, but couldn't he have rejected her in a painless way?" “Painless? There's nothing painless about rejection." “I'm sorry, Luna. I didn't mean it like that." She quickly apologized. I shook my head, “it's okay. Besides, even Ryder didn't look good." "What do you think happened?” Dani asked me, the curiosity getting the better part of her. "I don't know,” I replied. "But I'm sure she'll tell us when she's ready.” She nodded, shifting her gaze to Allie who

    Chapter 25 Kieran's POV “So, you let a rogue slip through your fingers?" I asked, my voice low and even, but my eyes held frustration and disappointment. I stared at the faces of the two warriors that were supposed to be on patrol duty, shame etched on their faces. “We're sorry, Alpha." They apologized, falling to their knees, head bent downward, unable to meet my gaze. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the frustration I was feeling, “what are we looking at here?" I asked my Gamma, who wore a gloomy look. His head jerked upward when he heard my question. I thought about addressing what was going on with him, but that could wait. I'd been relieved to hear that we were getting close to getting a lead on the mysterious smell, but now, it was back to square one. “Caleb feels like he's close to finding something, but without it, there's nothing we can do." He replied. A groan escaped my lips, if there was one thing I hated the most, it was being in the dark. The warrio

    Chapter 26Kaia's POV I woke up with a start the next morning, my head hurts and my eyes felt like they were on fire. My throat was dried, like I haven't taken water in weeks. I groggily opened my eyes but shut it when bright rays of light hit me. Pulling the duvet over my head, I let out a loud groan, “what the hell happened last night?" I thought. “How did we even get home?" Kieran, the only person who could provide answers to my questions was nowhere to be found. “Lylah, so you remember what happened last night?" I asked my wolf. She scoffed, “oh, I do." She sounded amused and at the moment, I doubt it was a good thing. Without waiting for me to ask, she continued. “Was it after you begged him to change you…or when you insisted on performing a strip dance for him? You even started crying when he wouldn't let you change into your sexy lingerie.” Each of her words brought back memories. “I can't believe I actually did that." I thought as I sank deeper into the bed

    Chapter 27Allie's POV (When Ryder brought her home) Ryder was glaring at me through the rearview mirror, and I shot him a defiant look. He was angry for whatever reason when it should be the other way around. He'd literally thrown my partner off the dance floor and then dragged me away. “What the hell were you thinking?" He growled, his voice low once we hit the road. “Dancing? Having fun? You should try it sometimes." I retorted, glaring back at him. His expression darkened, “I’m being serious, Allie. What if something had happened?” He asked. I shifted uncomfortably, thinking about that possibility but since I didn't want to give him the satisfaction he was looking for, I just shrugged. “I can take care of myself." He let out a growl, his hand tightened around the wheel as he let out a string of curse words which I just ignored. The rest of the drive was quiet but I didn't miss the way he kept turning to look at me. Once we got to the pack house, where Kiera

My mate, who I was growing attached to, was looking to choose another mate and just like before, I would be thrown to the side. Only that this time would be more painful. "Kaia…Kaia." She repeated, finally snapping me out of my thoughts. “Good thing you're here, I don't have to repeat myself." Ida said. “Don't listen to her," Allie said, glaring at Ida, who didn't look moved by it. She shrugged and crossed her hands in front of her. “What does she mean by chosen mate? And that everyone knows about it?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Allie came forward, holding my hand in a reassuring manner even though that was the last thing I wanted to feel. "It's not important, don't listen to her.” She said.

    Chapter 29Kaia's POV My mind wouldn’t stop running around. All I could think of now was wearing his mark. The feeling of his teeth grazing my neck, sucking gently, savoring it like he had been waiting for this day, and finally sinking into it—marking me as his grand prize. Anything is what I could do for that feeling. Throwing my head back as I stared into space, his scent still lingered in the air, his face played endlessly in my head, My attention remained fixated on the ceiling as the door suddenly swung open.“Well… someone looks dreamy…” Dani teased as she approached the bed. Kieran left after I assured him that I was okay and I was fine staying with the girls. “Hmn yeah, the bed also looks kind of wrinkled. Don’t you think, Dani?” Allie added, her tone filled with sarcasm. My gaze remained on the empty space as a small smile crept onto my lips. I knew exactly what they were playing at, and I could almost roll my eyes to the back of my head—if I actually didn’t want

    Chapter 30Kaia's POV His hands wrapped around my throat, firm but not painful. A small gasp escaped my lips, but before I could even process it, his mouth crashed into mine. My world spun. His kiss was hungry, possessive, like he was claiming me in every way he could. His hands held the back of my head in place, his thumbs caressed my jawline as his tongue begged for entrance.I opened for him willingly, “Ahmmm” I moaned into his mouth as his tongue danced with mine. It tasted like a reward, like I was finally getting what I had longed for—to be his, to bear his mark. My hands gripped his shoulders, feeling the hard muscles beneath his shirt as we moved in a slow, heated circle around the room. “I love you, Kaia,” He blurted out between kisses, his voice breathless and desperate I froze, as I broke the kiss abruptly. His eyes searched mine with such intensity that left me breathless. My mouth searched the right response to his words, but I couldn’t find one. All I knew

    Kaia's POV (Matured scene) He smirked, that damn sexy, infuriating smirk, and I could feel the way he was holding back, teasing me, putting me on the edge just to hear me beg. And I wasn’t afraid to. I’d beg if it meant he’d give me what l wanted.“Please,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Fuck me, Kieran.” He broke the kiss, his gaze lingering on mine for a moment that felt like forever. His eyes were dark, filled with a hunger that sent shivers down my spine. Then, that mischievous smile, the one that made me know i should be ready for anything “You are one naughty girl, Bella,” he mouthed, his voice low and rough, sending a shiver through me. This is new, even to me but it felt like my body and mind had what do. My arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. My lips crashed against his, and he didn’t hold back, kissing me like his life depended on it. His tongue tangled with mine, soft but demanding, and I moaned into his mouth, my body arched against his.Then I f

    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.

    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

  • Claimed By The Lycan King    Unveiling The Prophecy

    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

    Chapter 129 Kaia's POV I woke up with a start, causing my head to start aching me with how fast I stood up. But Kieran was by my side in an instant, holding me up and helping me sit properly. The first thing that came to mind was the fact that I was in a different room and it looked familiar…Allie's room. The incident that led to me fainting came rushing back and fear gripped me, hoping it was some sort of nightmare and that it didn't really happen. “Dylan…where's Dylan?” I asked, moving to stand up from the bed, ignoring the pain that shot through me. "He cannot die…he was trying to save me." I cried. “Bella," Kieran called, trying to hold me in place but I pushed his hand away and hurt flashed through his eyes, “Take me to Dylan, I can heal him." I sobbed. I could feel Lylah's presence, although she wasn't saying anything. “Why were both of them not answering me? Did he really die?” My entire body felt weak I wasn't sure if the moon goddess was to blame in this

    Chapter 128 Kieran's POV We arrived at the Pack a few hours later…about five or six hours. The warriors on patrol didn't hesitate to let us in once they saw who it was and we went straight to Dylan's house, with the aid of one of the warriors since we had no idea where he lived. Pack members quickly surrounded us the moment the car stopped and it took all the self control I had and repeated reminders about why we were here from King for me to not turn back and teach them one or two lessons for the hell they put Kaia through. “Alpha." The woman, who I guessed was Dylan's mom, greeted, bowing her head. I could see the slight resemblance between herself and Dylan…their eyes. If she was surprised by my presence, she was doing a great job hiding it as she opened the door widely to let me in. “Can I get you something to drink, Alpha?” "Let's cut out the drama, shall we?” I started, not in the mood for any pleasantries. "You know why I'm here, so let's get to it." Bei
