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."
Being away from Kaia was already getting on my nerves and I couldn't wait to get back to her, so wasting time was out of the question. Thinking about now, I wondered how I managed to survive so long before I found her.
Just as she opened her mouth to start talking, we heard a little commotion outside and the warriors standing outside informed me Aiden was here, just as the door swung open.
“Alpha," he called. “You didn't tell us you'd be coming,” he said.
Resting my back against the couch, crossing my legs, I took another look at him, there were bags under his eyes. Most of his wounds from the last time we met had disappeared but there were still fresh ones on his face…not that I cared.
“If I wanted to see you, I would have sent for you.” My voice was bored.
“Alpha…the…” he started again, but we have had enough.
"Leave.” I commanded, my Alpha command slipping in. He murmured a ‘yes, Alpha' and was gone.
I turned back to the woman in front of me, and she sat upright, making herself comfortable and ready for what I was going to ask.
“You are a healer? How's that possible?" There were several other questions I wanted to ask, but my conversation with my Dad about the healer clan being destroyed leaving no survivors didn't seem through anymore.
We have two proofs…for the ones we knew. If she managed to keep it a secret for this long, who knows how many people were doing the same thing.
“My mom was a healer, but she found her mate in this Pack and had me." She started, “she died shortly afterwards."
She also explained the reason she wasn't a white wolf. Apparently, it was normal for wolves with any color to have the healing power as long as they had a parent who was a healer as well. But in her case, since her mother was the one with the ability, the things she could do were limited.
“I chose to keep it undercover because there are times it doesn't work." There was a sad smile on her face but it was gone almost immediately.
“Does this mean Kaia's Dad is also a healer?" I asked. “I'm sure you know about her ability."
If anything she said made sense, it would mean that the reason Kaia is strong is because her dominant parent…the man supposed to be her father was the one with the ability. But from the look on her face, it didn't seem so.
“He’s not…the moon goddess isn't that cruel.”
I frowned, raising my hand to massage my temple. "What the fuck is she going on about, right now?” King growled. “Do you think she's playing with us?"
“If there's one thing I'm certain about, it's that he's not a healer…”
I paused as a realization hit me. "Kaia didn't get her powers until she left this Pack neither did she get her wolf because she was suppressed.” I started, moving to the edge of the couch, my gaze not leaving her. "I will not hesitate to snap your neck if you even think about lying to me.”
She nodded. "Why did you suppress her wolf? Was being the reason her mom is dead not enough?”
"I never intended for that to happen,” she said, "and I regret it. I swear.”
My brows furrowed, "you didn't think separating her from her mate would drive her crazy?”
"I was just trying to protect her."
A loud growl left my lips, my eyes darkened as King pushed himself forward. “What the fuck is wrong with all of you hurting her and then claiming to protect her?" My voice rolled off the wall. I was seething and a scared look flashed through her eyes.
“She had her mother, she didn't need–”
"Lisa wasn't her biological mother.” She said, and that killed the rest of the words in my mouth.
