I really want to throw my fist at a lot of people... I'm not sure if it's Aiden or Dylan's mom that should be first
Chapter 111 Kaia's POV The guys couldn't shut their mouths when they got to the office and I narrated the same thing I told Kieran about Nessa. It was hard to believe that the seventeen year old girl we all doted on, was a witch who was out to get us for only who knows why. “This feels unreal but her inquisitive nature suddenly makes sense." Dani said, “she was asking because she needed information to work with.” Her disappointment, just like the rest of us, was evident on her face. “And she succeeded." Allie murmured, her voice low and the light in her eyes dim. Her own case was a mixture of disappointment and dealing with Dylan's absence. I'm sure Dylan was kicking his fist in the air for leaving also. We were all gathered in Kieran's office and I made myself comfortable as we discussed the next step. I pushed away the thought that it was through me that she got access to the rest of them. “There was no way you could've known." Lylah said, and I nodded.
Chapter 112 Ryder’s POV I was anxious…scared even. I had just one chance to make Allie change her mind about me and at the same time, I had no doubt it was going to be hard seeing how Dylan's absence hit her hard and it doesn't seem like the right time bringing up the conversation. But one good thing was that she was no longer avoiding anything that had to do with me. That alone, gave me hope. “I'm not going to mess up this opportunity." I thought, heading back to my place. I needed to take a shower after being on patrol duty the entire night. I'd probably catch an hour of sleep or two…if not I wouldn't hear the end of it from Luna Kaia. I ended up sleeping for more than three hours before going back to the Pack house to discuss the way forward about Nessa and the person she was working for. I'm still in awe at how she managed to trick all of us with her innocent look for this long. “You know," I heard Kaia’s familiar voice say, snapping me to the present. "if I
Chapter 113 Ryder’s POV It's been a few days after my conversation with Allie and it felt like she was avoiding me. She wouldn't look at me for more than what was necessary. It was as if we took several steps backward after the conversation we had and I kept wondering if it was something I said. But Kaia thinks otherwise. I had run to her to confirm if I had said something wrong…after she laughed her heart content, she assured me that she needed time to process things and being around me wasn't the best way to go about it. With the Alphas’ meeting being about two days away and Kieran didn't have any issues about me going in Caleb's place but if Allie couldn't bear to stay in the same room as me, I might as well stay back. “What are you thinking so hard about?" Caleb asked. We were sitting in Kieran's office, waiting for him to finish from the meeting he was in so we could conclude on everything that concerned the upcoming Alphas' meeting. "Nothing…just stuff." He rai
Chapter 114Kieran's POV So, ever since we found out about Nessa and the fact that she was most likely working with the shooters, we haven't had any attacks. While that was good news, it felt like something else was going on. Nessa hasn't done anything out of the ordinary…it was either she was that good at faking it or she knew that she had been discovered. “But why wasn't she doing anything?" The meeting was the next day, so her case could wait until that was done. "Alpha,” Caleb called and my head snapped to him. "From the record and everything, there's nothing that says Nessa's adoptive parents are witches, my best guess is that they found out after they took her in and decided to keep it a secret.” I nodded, that was almost as bad as them committing the crime themselves. “Let them be for now, but have Ryder keep a close watch on them." “Yes Alpha." I engrossed myself in the paperwork Caleb brought along when he was coming. They needed urgent attention
Chapter 115Kaia's POV The meeting with the Alphas was here, and Allie and I were getting ready with the aid of Dani who was having so much fun playing dress up instead of being the one getting ready. Allie was excited to go and according to her, she was happy because she gets to show off her perfect self in a room full of poorly dressed women. “Oh my gosh!” Allie squealed, “Kieran won't be able to take his eyes off you.” She said, once Dani was done applying my makeup. “I don't think that even I, can take my eyes off her." Dani agreed. I smiled widely and looked into the mirror and this time, I had to agree that she did an amazing job. The makeup was flawless, and I could feel my confidence go through the roof. Since I was going with a red dress, she did a sophisticated, elegant look with neutral eyes but my lip was a bold red color. She put my hair down after curling them. The dress was a stunning, floor-length red dress that hugged my body tightly in all the rig
Chapter 116Kaia's POV “No. Fucking. way!” I thought, my eyes squinting as I looked at the man in front of me. His eyes were like staring at Kieran. He wasn't as tall, but he was well built. A scar ran on the side of his face…other than that, the resemblance between them was uncanny. “What the hell is going on here?" Lylah asked, but heck if I knew as well. The man smiled…more like smirked at me, “Luna Kaia!" He called and I frowned. I mean, I was still trying to make sense of the resemblance between him and Kieran and now he knows me by my name. “It's a pleasure to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you.” He said, smiling but I didn't feel the same way as I looked at him suspiciously. Apart from his weird smile, there was something off about him that didn't sit well with me. So I offered him a forced smile and made an attempt to move but he blocked my way. I felt my heart racing as I tried mind-linking Kieran but I felt a wall rising. “Now, that's just rud
Chapter 117 Kieran's POV By the time I was done giving the opening speech, Kaia was no longer sitting where I left her and I immediately panicked but she assured me she was okay and was only fixing her makeup. A small smile appeared on my face when I remembered the look she had when I told her her lipstick was smudged. It wasn't bad…”couldn't kiss a girl when she's wearing lipstick, my foot.” Just when I thought she couldn't be any more perfect, she surprises me, proving me wrong every single time. She heard heads turning to look at her and it wasn't because she was my mate but how stunning she looked even without doing anything. There was not a single ounce of jealousy except a proud look that she was mine. “Alpha Kieran," I heard someone call, bowing his head to greet me, snapping my thoughts away from Kaia. “We're so lucky you decided to join us today. It's an honor." He said. “I wish I could say the same, but there was a lot of things I'd rather be doing." I thoug
Chapter 118 Aiden's POV The moment I got to the Alphas' meeting, I left Dylan alone and went in search of Kaia but she was nowhere to be found. It was as though Melissa had lied about her being mated to an Alpha. I had no interest in socializing with the people coming to meet me. “Are you looking for someone?" Dylan asked, coming up behind me. I just glared at him and continued looking around. I was still mad at him for disappearing without a word. He was with me because as much as he was annoying, he was better than Derek, my Gamma. “I-I’ll just look around." He announced like it was any of my business. My eyes roamed around the room and when I didn't find her, my disappointment level multiplied. “The Lycan King is here!" Someone announced, his voice loud and the excitement in his voice was obvious. Everyone moved towards the entrance to welcome him. Rumours had it that he'd found his mate but he didn't confirm or deny it. I didn't care about his mate, but he would be a
Chapter 149 Ryder's POV With the new information on ground, Kieran wanted to catch two birds with one stone. So all hands were on deck to make sure that this plan was a success. But he had a separate mission for me. Nora had mentioned that after Luna Kaia was born, a locket was worn around her neck so that when she grew up, she would have an idea about her identity but obviously, she didn't see it which means it was still somewhere in her former Pack and her Dad…adopted father would have an idea about it. We knew almost everything about her identity, but it was the last and probably the only thing Luna Kaia received from her biological father, so I was going to get it back and probably put some sense into him. “How many days are you going to spend there?" Allie asked, pouting as she watched me get ready to leave. “I should be back at the latest tomorrow…I don't think I'm going to survive more than a day without you.” She grinned widely, "how about I come along? It'
Chapter 148 Dylan's POV I was in shock as I continued staring at the girl…Nora. The way she put herself in front of me was making my wolf go crazy. My mind was no longer on what was being discussed in the room, all I wanted was to talk to her…alone, to confirm I wasn't imagining things. “Keep your eyes on her," Alpha Kieran commanded, bringing me back to the present. “I need to talk to Ryder about something." Nodding slightly, I led her out of the office and immediately we were out, she hastened her footsteps, trying to get away, but I was fast, grabbing her arms and the sparks which I had thought was a fragment of my imagination earlier, shot through me again. I could tell she felt it too. “What was that?" She feigned a confused look, “what was what?" She asked, snatching her arm out of my hand. I let out a frustrated sigh, my wolf wanted to take control but that would be a mistake on my part. He was far from being patient and the girl in front of me needed a whol
Chapter 147 Kaia's POV The door opened and Dylan entered with a familiar face standing beside him…Nora! I haven't seen her as much since I ran away and was brought back. She had her head facing the ground and Dylan…well, he looked like him, just a little tense. “You know her?" Dylan asked, not masking his shock. I nodded, “she works in the kitchen." I replied. “What did you do to her? She looks like she wants to disappear." Kieran snorted as he sat upright, his arms around me loosening. “You found something?” He asked, clearly not interested in small talk. Dylan nodded and stepped forward, stretching a phone to Kieran. "She was talking to her mom about Luna Kaia, and there are pictures of her on the phone.” He said. “I think it might be connected to the attack." He added, his voice low as he spoke and he looked away from her. My eyes widened, my jaw dropped as I looked at the girland I found it hard to believe, considering how many times she defended me in the presence
Chapter 146Dylan's POV No matter how many times I repeated it to myself that I was acting under a spell, it didn't help the guilt I felt, especially when I saw the bruises on Alpha Kieran's body. No doubt he didn't fight back which made everything worse. “You're here again." Allie said, “you're stealing my thinking spot and I don't think I like it." She added, coming to sit beside me on the bench. The pavilion was her favorite spot and because it was mostly secluded, it became mine too. “Thinking spot, huh? What else do you have to think about? You're the happiest I've seen you." Her smile widened, “I am happy…but it doesn't mean I can't come here to think." She said. “A lot of things have happened the past few days and even weeks, I just want things to go back to how they used to be." I nodded, understanding what she was talking about. Her mom was currently sitting in the dungeon and she didn't want to hear anything about her. “I thought things were going well
Chapter 145 Kieran's POV I turned back to Gerald, now, even more determined as I couldn't wait to find out what Kaia wanted to tell me. “I'm listening." I said, referring to the question I asked him. “All I know is that the Alpha of their Pack knew something he shouldn't and in order to silence him, rogues were sent to their Pack, catching them unaware." He said, “but I had nothing to do with it." He insisted. “By their Alpha, you mean Alpha Marcus?" Caleb asked. My brows furrowed, everyone knew he was the Alpha and there was no need dwelling on that. But Gerald shook his head, “Alpha Marcus is the twin brother of the real Alpha." He said, “Alpha Matthew is the elder twin which makes him the rightful heir to the throne." I messaged my temple gently, if this was true, we were years away from finding Kaia's biological parents. I wanted to ask how he knew all of this, something even my Dad as an Alpha didn't know…or probably because I didn't ask. Caleb had suddenly g
Chapter 144 Kieran's POV Apart from the things we found after rummaging through the house we found out belonged to Gerald and his mate after they were banished from the Pack, we haven't found anything new. And the location of Gerald's mate and the son, whose name was Felix was yet to be determined, but we now have names we were working on, instead of just wild guesses. It was confirmed that this Felix guy was born earlier than I was, which would suggest that the reason he was dead set on attacking the Pack was because he thinks that for whatever reason, he was supposed to be the Alpha of the Pack. “I mean, out of all the things I knew was wrong with your mom, cheating on your dad is next level.” King said. "You do know they're your parents too, right?” "Nah, I'll pass. But I'm glad he did the right thing.” My Dad’s rejection came as a surprise to me, it was the last thing I expected him to do. And no doubt, the rejection was weighing on both of them, but my
Chapter 143 Kaia's POV After everyone left to carry out the task that had been assigned to them, only Katherine and I were left in the office, sitting opposite each and the both of us didn't try to start up any conversation, which for a moment was good because the only thing I could think about was Kieran bringing back the person behind this spell and also hoping that Dylan was okay. “Why didn't we think of Nessa?" Lylah asked me, and my eyes widened. “Fuck!" I cursed, “What if that's the reason she's been staying away because she's planning this?" I replied, asking a question of my own. I stood up, with a sense of urgency, causing Katherine to look up at me. “What's wrong? Is everything okay with Dylan?" She asked. The worry in her voice made me forget for a brief moment why I stood up. Of course she was worried about her son. She knew that no matter what she said, Dylan still would've offered to be the bait. “He's fine." I told her. It hasn't been long s
Chapter 142 Alpha Tyler’s POV I can't believe Clarissa would do something like this, a huge part of me was already trying to deny the possibility of her having a child before our first son. There was no way that could've happened without my knowledge considering we found each other really early but the resemblance between the boy and Kieran was uncanny. Even after the evidence, I managed to convince myself that something else was at play but the past few weeks, her sudden disappearance left me questioning if I was protecting myself and pretending not to see what was happening. But spells? She has gone too far this time. Even a blind person could see how much both Kieran and Kaia cared for each other. Her position was never a problem…neither was it for me, as long as she made Kieran happy, I was fine. If Clarissa had been an ordinary wolf, I still would've taken her as my Luna without a second thought. But for some reason, it didn't sit well with Clarissa and she was m
Chapter 141Caleb's POV There was no doubt that this wasn't going to be an easy mission. Luna Clarissa wouldn't willingly come with us for whatever reason and a huge part of me wanted to use part of the potions that could subdue a Lycan but the possibility of her dying from it was high. I wouldn't blame Luna Kaia, if she refuses to heal her. “What do you mean?" Dani asked, her eyes widening. “Is Allie okay?" I nodded. "She's fine. Ryder is taking care of her and Elizabeth already assured us that she just needs to wake up now.” I told her. "Oh my gosh! I have to go see her.” Her voice came out low, the worry in them could be felt from miles away. That was the same reaction we had but thank goddess she had the help she needed. “Ryder is with her, but Luna Kaia is alone with Katherine. Go to her instead." She nodded and wrapped her hand around me. I could feel her fear and worry through our bond and they were justified. It was like we couldn't catch a break, and goin
