Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124

Kaia's POV

“I won't be gone for long, I promise." Kieran said, as he hugged me tightly. His head resting in the nook of my neck.

“Can't you just command her to come here…to the borders?” I asked, I'm not sure I wanted to see her again anytime soon.

Kieran was going to my Pack, a place that was filled with painful memories I'd rather not live again. And imagine my shock when he told me my stepmom was a healer too. The moon goddess was out there sprinkling a dust of confusion on the world. She wasn't a white wolf but she had the powers of one and as much as I was curious, I'd wait until Kieran returns.

“For that to happen, I'd have to see her." He reminded me.

“I'm going to miss you, come back soon.” I told him, tightening my arms around him. "I love you, baby.”

He pulled back, lifting my chin to look at him before his lips came on mine. I fought back a moan as I kissed him back like my life depended on it.

We finally joined the guys, who were waiting to see him off. They were not going with him because he assigned their own jobs to them, so he was going with some warriors.

"Bye!” I waved, as the car drove off.

"He can't see you anymore.” Dylan whispered when I didn't stop waving even after they were gone. But with a glare, he kept his mouth shut.

Caleb and Ryder, who were standing a few feet from us, said their goodbyes and left to go get started on their own work. It wasn't going to be easy tailing a Lycan who was sensitive to smell and even worse, one that had something to hide. And my best bet was Luna Clarissa but only because I didn't like her.

“What's up with Ryder? Is there no progress?" Dylan asked.

I raised my brows at him, “are you asking because now that you're here for a long time, you realize you shouldn't have let go of her?"

“I'm asking because she isn't here to see her brother off and Ryder looks miserable." He said, rolling his eyes.

I sighed, “right now, they're both refusing to talk about it." I told him and she has also been avoiding me. At first, I thought it was because she felt guilty, so I assured her that she had nothing to be guilty about, but that wasn't the case.

“Have you tried talking to her?"

“No, I was giving her space…but it seems to be doing more harm than good. I should probably do that now."

He nodded, and began following me as I made my way to her room. “What the hell are you doing?"

“Keeping my eyes on you." He replied, shrugging like it was no big deal.

"I'm going to Allie's room, not fighting off rogues.” I deadpanned, "Find something else to do, I'll be fine.”

He wanted to argue but he changed his mind. Once I was satisfied, I continued to Allie's room and she opened the door immediately, looking everywhere but at me.

"Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry.” I apologized, and her face scrunched up in confusion. " What are you talking about?”

I took a deep breath, “you've been avoiding me…us, since the meeting and you don't look so good. So it's either I did something or–”

“You didn't do anything…” she interrupted, "it's just…" she paused, looking at the ceiling. Something she did when she was fighting back tears and just the thought broke my heart. No matter how many times I assure her that it was okay to talk to me no matter what, she still keeps things to herself despite how much it was hurting.

“Allie," I called softly, wrapping my arms around her shoulder in a comforting manner. “You can talk to me."

She swallowed hard, “I found my mate…I rejected him.” She added before I could ask her why she was sad then.

"I'm so sorry, Allie.”

She shook her head, "Don't be. He's an asshole.”

I frowned, if she just met him, how did she come to that conclusion? "How…no, what did–"

“Aiden…he was my mate." She said, “he d-didn’t even feel bad." The moon goddess was playing a cruel joke on all of us. But Allie didn't deserve it, she was the sweetest person.
