Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Kieran's POV

My meeting with the Alpha's ended, it was the same results. Nobody had heard about that kind of substance before, but I made sure they would keep their eyes open and inform me if they heard anything. Then I went down to the dungeon to see if the prisoner had changed his mind about keeping quiet…he hadn't.

Next, I went to have a meeting with the warriors but that didn't end well when different emotions, belonging to Kaia hit me at once.

“Are you okay?" I asked her through our mindlink, “your emotions are all over the place."

But instead of a response, I felt a wall rising. She'd blocked me.

I frowned, “what was going on?"

The warriors could tell that something was wrong, but nobody asked me as I hurriedly left the meeting to go in search of her.

I ran into Caleb, "Alpha? You're already here?” He asked me, his brows furrowing. He was supposed to be dealing with the other groups -The AXE

Running a hand through my hair, I nodded. “Something is wrong with Kaia." I replied.

He frowned, "she asked about you not quite long ago and I told her that you were…” he trailed off, his eyes darting between me and the direction he was coming from.

“I was…?" I asked, prompting him to continue his statement, an annoyed look working its way to my face.

“...the dungeon. I told her…” he continued, but I didn't let him finish as I ran towards the dungeon.

Several thoughts of her being in danger crossed my mind even though nothing…apart from her unstable emotions indicated that she was hurt. And Caleb knew better than to even tell her that in the first place.

What I didn't expect to see was her arms around my prisoner while asking for a doctor. King was growling at me to let him out and I knew that if I did, that prisoner wouldn't be the only one losing his life today.

“Listen to me, Kaia." I started, struggling to keep myself from raising my voice at her but with all the words coming from her mouth, it was only a matter of time before King took over. “I am not going to have my doctor check out a prisoner. We'll talk about this later.”

She shook her head,“Then I will treat him myself."

My head snapped to her, a growl escaping my lips “You will do no such thing!” I told her.

"He's dangerous and–"

“He's my brother,” Kaia's voice rang out and I froze, allowing the information to sink in.

“Brother?" It couldn't be. The last time she mentioned having a brother…step brother, he was among the people who took it upon themselves to make her life a living hell. So what I was trying to understand was why she was acting like this.

“He might be your brother," I started, after getting over my initial shock. “But right now, he's my prisoner and I say what happens to him."

A disappointed look crossed her features, but she couldn't be any more disappointed than I was.

"Lock him up.” I ordered, and this time, she didn't say anything which was good because I was so close to losing my mind.

Taking her hands, I led her away from the dungeon and back into the pack house.

I didn't want to think about the fact she'd raised her voice at me, and repeatedly gone against my order.
