Chapter 61Kaia's POV Kieran left in a hurry after getting a mindlink from Ryder. I didn't have it in me to eat more, so I took the plates to the kitchen even though Nora rushed to collect them from me. I found out from Kieran that she'd told him about my conversation with Ida. Once that was done, I went towards the child care. I'm sure Kieran wouldn't like it that I wasn't resting like he wanted, but being in the room alone was boring. “Luna!" Dani called. “Kaia!" Allie exclaimed, coming to my side. "You should be resting. How did you convince my brother to make him agree?” "I didn't.” I replied, smiling sheepishly. "He went to the borders to meet Ryder and I'm bored staying alone by myself.” They nodded, and led me to the couch so I would sit. No matter how many times I told them I was okay and Kieran was only exaggerating, they didn't believe me. And if anything, he was the one who needed to rest more. “The children have missed you…everyone did.” Dani said.
Chapter 62 Kieran's POV “Alpha, we found something." Ryder's voice rang in my head and my hand at Kaia's side froze. “Was it…?” I thought, "Be right there.” I replied, closing the mindlink and standing up. "Is something wrong?” Kaia's soft voice asked and I shook my head. “Ryder thinks he found something, so I'm going to take a look." I told her, placing a kiss on her lips and leaving the room before I get tempted to stay. Shifting into my Lycan, I ran to the pack borders, reaching there in no time before shifting back. Ryder had his back turned to me, giving command to the warriors, who nodded as they diapers. “Alpha." He called once he turned to face me. “What did you find?" He showed me a piece of clothing which was covered in blood. And the smell coming from it, just like we assumed, didn't belong to a rogue. “We found this just outside the pack borders, so our best guess is that he's around somewhere, but injured. But he shouldn't have gone that far."
Chapter 63Kaia's POV Kieran has been spending more time in the dungeon and each time he gets back, he always has a frustrated look on his face. He had mentioned that they'd finally caught one of the rogues that was making the pack stand on edge but he wasn't admitting to working with anyone. I didn't know who he was, but I had one or two things to tell him about frustrating my man. Lylah still wasn't back and it was starting to make me doubt if she was ever going to come back. I didn't mention it to Kieran because he already had a lot of things he was dealing with. “Come on," Dani whined, “we need to do something fun, other than our normal routine." She grumbled, tugging my arms gently. The three of us just finished helping out at the hospital and we were tired since we spent most of the time on our feet and all I was thinking about was Kieran massaging them. “I agree,” Allie agreed, "I cannot remember the last time we did anything fun. I'm losing my youthful age h
Chapter 64Kaia's POV “I can't believe you didn't tell us!” Allie whined, pouting her lips like her favorite candy was snatched from her hands. My eyes dropped in guilt, “It kinda skipped my mind." I replied, my voice low. They paused, taking my countenance in, “Why don't you look excited? You should, you've always looked forward to shifting into your wolf." Dani said. I sighed deeply, “At that point, it hadn't sunk in yet, but I'm getting there. I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that I can actually shift and not just that, a rare wolf.” Their expression softened in understanding. I wanted to be able to see her once more to believe that the moon goddess didn't just grant my request because of Kieran and has taken her back. “I'm sure it'll sink in soon." Allie assured me and I nodded. “And members of this pack are lucky because if it was me, they wouldn't hear the end of it." She added. So, after the Pack's meeting the previous day , I met the doctor wh
Chapter 65 Kaia's POV “Dylan?" "Dylan!” I called, not wanting to believe that the person who looked almost unrecognizable was the same person I knew. His head jerked upward and he tried standing up when he heard his name, and I was right. My hand covered my mouth as I took in his state. His clothes were torn and covered with blood. Some of which looked like they've been there for a long time. His face was swollen. A faint smell of wolfsbane filled my nostrils, explaining why he wasn't completely healing even as a Beta. “Why are you here? Who did this to you?" I asked, my voice trembling at how bad he looked. "Kaia?” He let out in a horse tone. It was like talking became a struggle for him. Looking at him hurt, like air being sucked out of my lungs. “It's me." I replied, beating my chest softly. “Why are you here?" I asked again, now standing in front of his cell. A strained smile appeared on his face as he took in my appearance. “You're okay." He said, his l
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 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
