Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 147

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 of other Omegas.

I felt Kieran's body froze against mine as he went through the pictures in the phone and back at her.

“It's not what you think, I-I s-swear." Nora said, falling to her knees and tears streaming down her face. “I c-can explain."

“Go on with it." Kieran growled, his eyes darkening. He stood up in all of his might. I could the anger radiating off him, even without the mate bond.

Nora made herself smaller on the ground, “S-she's t-the chosen o-one, I was just telling them at home that I found her."

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of the three of us. Kieran's stance faltered a bit, but that didn't make him any less terrifying to the girl who looked like she wanted to disappear if she could.

“How do you know about that?" Kieran asked her.

She took a deep breath and one look at me, “I'm from the healer clan.”

The silence that followed her revelation was deafening. Lylah began pacing around, and for reasons known to her, she was excited.

I could swear that the records and everything related to the Clan points out that there were no survivors…I mean I was a proof that it wasn't true, but now she was here, saying something else.

“Healer's Clan? How's that possible?”

Nora nodded, "Not everyone died…but they chose to live as ordinary wolves in order not to draw attention to themselves."

I couldn't feel my heartbeat anymore, my heart was racing like it was going to rip out of its cage. I didn't want to give myself hope and have it taken away.

She herself couldn't be more than eighteen which means she was born after the attack on the Pack and everything she was saying was what she was told. But I have several questions about everything.

“So when I turned fifteen, along with several other children from the Pack, we were sent to different Packs to keep watch for the chosen one." She explained, a look of guilt flashed through her eyes.

It turns out she managed to get by hiding her real smell and wearing clothes already worn by other Omegas to have their smell and it wasn't that difficult because not so much attention was placed on them.

“Why didn't you say anything sooner?" I asked, if she had known, why didn't she say anything?

She shook her head, “I wasn't sure and I suspected because of the resemblance.”

I looked at Kieran who , "resemblance?" I asked, “who are you talking about?”

She paused again, and if I wasn't trying to mentally prepare for what she was about to say, I'd rip the words out of her mouth. The frown on Kieran's face mirrored mine and if Nora wasn't already trembling, I'm sure the look in Kieran's eyes would've sent her to her knees.

"Your Dad.” She said finally, her voice barely above a whisper.

I gasped lightly, my eyes burning from holding my tears for so long and Kieran moved towards me, wrapping his arms around me as I let the tears fall freely. He murmured reassuring words in my ears, his hand rubbing my back in a soothing manner.
