Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 143

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 since they left and I couldn't feel anything from Kieran that suggested he wasn't okay or that things weren't going smoothly.

“I-I…uhmm, I need to check something.”

She nodded, and I moved towards the door but just before I could open the door, it swung open and Dani entered, her eyes scanning my body for only who knows what and then she looked at Katherine, who was observing the scene in front of her, and then back at me.

"Are you okay?” She asked, still eyeing Katherine.

I cracked a smile, "I'm okay."

She gave me a reluctant nod, “Sorry I'm just coming, I had to check on Allie on my way here. She hasn't woken up yet.”

“Yea, but she'll be fine. The effect of the spell is wearing off." I assured her.

"Nessa came around today, she's still in the childcare…she wanted to come here, but that wasn't going to happen under my watch.”

My eyes widened, "I was just thinking about her? Why didn't we think that she could be behind the spell. She's a witch after all?”

She paused, definitely thinking about it too, "I don't think so…I mean, if she's sitting there."

“What if that's what she wants us to think? She didn't show up since the attack and she's suddenly here? What if she's not really the one?"

“You think someone else is pretending to be her?” She asked.

Lylah snorted, “What do you think this is? A fantasy world where anything goes?"

“It's possible." I murmured. Or what other explanation do we have for her sudden reappearance at the same time a spell was cast. And it would be dumb to put a compelling spell on someone while she was still in the Pack house.

“I don't think Luna Clarissa would work with her…but that's just me though.” Dani said.

I took a deep breath, this case was turning me into a crazy lady but that would end once Kieran returns with the people behind it. Both of us took our seats again, the possibility of Nessa being behind it gone. A part of me was excited because soon, we would no longer have to deal with her anymore.

The next few hours that followed, while waiting for the guys to return was pure torture. And I was convinced that Kieran had blocked me out of his thoughts.
