Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 142

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 my mate and I wanted to make sure she had her way but a part of me hoped that once she saw their bond, she'd let them be. It was one of the reasons I went behind her back to talk to the elders. If they insisted on separating them, that would be the end of their tenure in that position.

I had been so happy when she started putting efforts to make amends, but it was all a lie and I fell for it.

Once I got to the Pack house, I shifted back into my human form, running straight into the house.

“Where's she? Where's my daughter?" I asked, my voice booming through the house, the image of my daughter lying unconscious because of someone who was supposed to be her mother was all I could think about.

The Pack members moved out of the way, shaking their heads to my question. My Lycan was restless, pacing around in my head.

When there was no response, I proceeded to bang on whatever door I saw, calling her name but nothing happened and I was so close to losing my mind. “Did Caleb lie about her being okay?"

“Alpha Tyler."

My entire body jerked backwards at the sound, as I turned to see Ryder and Kaia standing behind me.

“Tell me where she is." I repeated. That was the only thing that would calm the raging beast inside me. I had almost lost her once before she was even born, I'd be damned if I let anything or anyone harm her.

“She's fine,” Kaia started, standing her ground. "But if you want to see her, you have to keep your Lycan under control.”

Hearing this, and the seriousness in her voice, my Lycan receded to the back of my head. “Please."

She looked at me for a few seconds before leading the way to the room and it was different from the one she used to be in…unless it was the same thing and I just couldn't remember it. I felt a pang of guilt when I realized that despite how much I claim to love her, I could count the number of times I'd been to her room…on one hand.

I stared at her sleeping figure and how peaceful she looked. It was just both of us as Kaia and Ryder chose to remain outside the door.

“I'm sorry I failed you," I said, taking her hand which was easily covered by mine. “But that's going to change now, I'm going to be the father you would be proud of.”

Placing a soft kiss on her forehead, and watched her for a while. A ruffling sound distracted me, as I heard Kieran's voice through our mindlink. The urgency in his voice was hard to miss.

“Caleb is fighting Mom." He told me, and my body tensed. “I can't leave where I am now, find him." He went ahead to tell me where he was.

This time, a decision was formed in my mind before I had time to analyze it, or even think about putting my mate first. I took another look at Allie's unconscious body before standing up.

“And Dad, do what is right.”

"I plan to.” I thought, blocking him out as I threw the door open, catching Kaia and Ryder by surprise. They turned to me, brows furrowed in confusion but no question was asked.

"Take care of her.” I ordered, although there was a hint of plea in my voice.

Without waiting to hear their response, I took off running in the direction Kieran had described.

It didn't take long for me to get there because of my speed, the smell of the warriors and their footprint were scattered everywhere and I followed the trail which led me to a cabin.

The warriors bowed their heads to greet, even as they struggled to hold a man who was barely recognizable but I could swear that the smell coming from him was oddly familiar.

“Who was he? If Clarissa was here, why was he here?"

I didn't get an answer, instead, a loud sound of something falling, followed by painful groaning reached my ears, snapping me out of my thoughts as I quickly approached it.
