Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Kieran's POV

So, ever since we found out about Nessa and the fact that she was most likely working with the shooters, we haven't had any attacks. While that was good news, it felt like something else was going on. Nessa hasn't done anything out of the ordinary…it was either she was that good at faking it or she knew that she had been discovered.

“But why wasn't she doing anything?"

The meeting was the next day, so her case could wait until that was done.

"Alpha,” Caleb called and my head snapped to him. "From the record and everything, there's nothing that says Nessa's adoptive parents are witches, my best guess is that they found out after they took her in and decided to keep it a secret.”

I nodded, that was almost as bad as them committing the crime themselves.

“Let them be for now, but have Ryder keep a close watch on them."

“Yes Alpha."

I engrossed myself in the paperwork Caleb brought along when he was coming. They needed urgent attention since they had to deal with the finances of the Pack, their feeding and everything else that was needed around the Pack.

“Kieran," Kaia's soft voice rang in my head and I immediately sat upright. “Yes, Bella."

“I don't think Nessa knows…she keeps asking questions that sound like she's trying to see how much I know." She explained.

"Don't make her suspect anything…be as vague as possible.”

She agreed, “yea. I'll do that. I'll talk to you later."

“And Bella," I called and heard her hum. “Be careful please."

As much as I wanted to put an end to the incident, I don't want to put Kaia in danger while doing so. King spoke to Lylah when she fainted after healing Nessa and she said they needed to conserve as much energy as they could. So even if Kaia could handle herself against Nessa, I didn't want her to try.

After I ended the mindlink, I continued working until Caleb spoke again.

“I've gone through this report more than twice…” he started, "and all I can see is the fact that the witches committed a conspiracy that led to the death of Pack members, but nothing was said about what they actually did.”

I paused, remembering how my mom flared up when I asked the same question. And the more we looked at it, the more suspicious it looked.

If we don't get to the root of it, all we were doing was following a thread.

Pushing myself out of my chair, I told Caleb I would be back as I made my way out of the office and headed straight to my parents house. They gave the order, and I was surely getting an answer out of them today at whatever cost.

My dad was already outside which made the conversation we were going to have even faster and easier.

“Did your mother do something again?" He asked, his voice calm. “Because I know you aren't here because you missed me."

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at him but he was right of course. “I need to know something." I told him and he raised his brows.

Not waiting for his permission, I continued. "The incident that led to the banishment of witches from the pack, what was it?" I asked. “It's not in the records, only that they were banished."

His head snapped to mine when I asked that but he looked away and rested his back against the chair. “It's not in the records for a reason, so let it be."
