Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

Kaia's POV

It took a lot of convincing for Kieran to believe that I was capable of being alone and could take care of myself. He literally followed me to the bathroom just in case I needed help there. I was enjoying it though so I let him.

But when Caleb mind-linked him to tell him something about the rogue that shot Nessa and Kieran replied that he should deal with it, I sent him away. As much as I wanted him to stay by my side, he had an obligation to fulfill. Besides, the doctor assured us that there was nothing to worry about in the first few weeks.

I pulled a shirt over my head as I got ready to meet the girls. I was going to tell them about my pregnancy and I was eager to see their reaction.

“How do you think is the best way to tell them?” I asked Lylah, but I was met with silence.

I let out a deep breath, pulling out a skirt from the closet while trying not to think about the fact that Lylah now only replies to me if it was very important. I hated how we were beginning to feel like strangers when we used to be so close.

And if I was going to do this pregnancy thing right, I needed all the support I could get, especially her.

"Are you ever going to ask the reason behind my decision before disregarding them? Or making me look bad?” Lylah asked and I paused.

“Lylah…”

"You've done the same thing over and over again, and then apologize when you realize I was right." She continued, interrupting me. Her voice sounded broken, and it felt like a blow to my chest.

I opened my mouth to say something but closed it when I realized the only thing that came to mind was apologizing again.

"But I was also wrong…" she spoke again, this time catching me by surprise since that was the last thing I was expecting her to say.

“It's not your fault, Lylah." I started. “I put our pup in danger. I'm sorry." And this time around, coming to a resolve to never go against her. She was a part of me, and everything she does, was for our good.

We went back and forth apologizing to each other and finally talking to her again felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. She said she understood the place I was coming from but it would've been easier if we had explained ourselves.

“Dani is going to be more excited." Lylah said a few minutes later as we went towards the child care.

A permanent smile was etched on my face as we went. Hearing Lylah's voice where she wasn't mad at me felt good again.

“I think Allie is going to win this one." I argued, and she snorted

Our debate was brought to an end when I heard Dylan's familiar voice calling my name and I turned. I haven't seen him since the Nessa situation and he looked like he could use some sleep.

“Dylan, are you okay?"

“I'm not," he admitted, “but I deserve it."

“Do you want to talk about it?" I asked. He thought about it for a few minutes before finally nodding his head.

We found a place we could talk, and he explained everything that happened with Allie and Ryder. And with each word that came out of his mouth, it was accompanied by a groan from me.

“You definitely cannot be okay." I started and his eyes narrowed slightly.

“That doesn't make sense."

“Well, that is the same thing I can say about you too." I said. “You already made her sad by telling her you were leaving…I mean, she could've gotten over that once she saw your point.” His frown deepened as I continued. " Then you went ahead to make a decision for her.”

"No I didn't.”
