Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Kieran’s POV

I walked into my office with a smile because at the moment, I doubt anything can make me unhappy. Kaia carrying our pup was the best news and more than anything I could ask for.

“Alpha," Caleb called, but paused when he saw the look on my face. “I'm not sure I can tell if I really interrupted you or not." He said, considering the fact that I snapped at him earlier when he mindlinked me.

Ryder, who was lying down on the couch snorted, “you should be happy he's in a good mood. My poor ass can't handle him if he's not.”

I rolled my eyes, before going to my desk ready to get back to work. “What did you get?" I asked him.

Ryder stood up and came towards us, pulling a chair for himself as Caleb spread out the papers in front of him. “According to the description Nessa gave, those men sound different from what we're looking at…” he started.

"And a question I can't push out of my head, is if she's a target too.” Ryder added.

He had a point, it was either that or there was something we were getting wrong. And considering the fact that we went after them almost immediately but couldn't find a trace and apart from her, no one else saw them…especially since she was inside the pack where members were always passing.

The door swung open, revealing Dylan who was getting ready to leave. He greeted me and did the same with both Caleb and Ryder…I didn't bother asking what or how that happened when they weren't at each other's throats.

“They definitely bonded over their ability to look like they their life is hanging on a piece of thread." King mocked and I chuckled, “they really do."

We filled Dylan in on what we were talking about, and he nodded thoughtfully. “Something doesn't make sense though…I don't think the men, if they really were from the AXE, would risk getting caught.” Dylan said.

I nodded, "especially since they just had to silent some of their members.”

"Exactly!”

"Get Nessa here.” I ordered and Ryder stood up, leaving the room.

He returned a few minutes with a trembling Nessa, her hands shaking on their own. She must've been so scared…she really was on the verge of death.

“You wanted to see me, Alpha." She said, her head facing the floor and her voice barely audible.

Sitting upright, I nodded. “I know what you went through was painful, but I want you to tell me what you remember about that day again." I said. “Especially the men you saw. Can you do that?"

She nodded hesitantly, and then went ahead to recount the story we've heard before, giving the description of the men we couldn't find anything on.

“Please, make them pay for it, Alpha.” She finished, wiping the tears streaming down her face with the back of her hand.

"We will,” I assured her, before ordering Ryder to see her off to the child care.

Caleb looked at me, his brows raised as my fingers drummed against the table. “What are you thinking?" He asked.

“Tell me about the men who shot you." I said, and his eyes narrowed in confusion. “What? I mean, why?"

“Because no one recounts an event the same way twice…except it's rehearsed.” Dylan said and I watched as his eyes widened and he dragged the paper to himself, skimming through the description she gave about the men.

"You're right.” He said, "I can barely remember the men who shot me. I didn't even see their faces.”

Even though it was night, he was a Beta and I was also there. But they were careful to not reveal their faces but in her description, she described him up even to the mole on his face.
