Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Aiden's POV

The moment I got to the Alphas' meeting, I left Dylan alone and went in search of Kaia but she was nowhere to be found. It was as though Melissa had lied about her being mated to an Alpha. I had no interest in socializing with the people coming to meet me.

“Are you looking for someone?" Dylan asked, coming up behind me. I just glared at him and continued looking around. I was still mad at him for disappearing without a word. He was with me because as much as he was annoying, he was better than Derek, my Gamma.

“I-I’ll just look around." He announced like it was any of my business.

My eyes roamed around the room and when I didn't find her, my disappointment level multiplied.

“The Lycan King is here!" Someone announced, his voice loud and the excitement in his voice was obvious. Everyone moved towards the entrance to welcome him. Rumours had it that he'd found his mate but he didn't confirm or deny it. I didn't care about his mate, but he would be a great help to the economy of the Pack.

My jaw dropped when I finally caught sight of her…and fuck! She was stunning. Each step she took was graceful. “Has she always been this beautiful?" I thought.

Jager rolled his eyes, “She has always been, you were too blind to see.” He said.

When I finally took my eyes away from her, I noticed her hand in Alpha Kieran's arms, smiling and I felt a wave of jealousy surge through me. “She is mine!"

Not letting her see me, I slipped away from the crowd, determined to wait for the best time to claim her. I wasn't going to let anyone…not even the Lycan King take away what belongs to me.

I walked around while the program continued inside. Seeing her in his arms, smiling without a care was eating me. I wanted to rip the Lycan King away from her…she should be in my arms instead.

“Did you see her?" I heard someone say where I was sitting and my head jerked upward. “She's so beautiful, it's unreal."

“I was so sure whoever the Lycan King’s mate was was lucky to have him, but now I think it's the other way around." Another person said. "If my mate leaves me for her, I'll understand.” She continued and I snorted.

Going towards the sound, I met three girls laughing but the laughter was wiped away from their faces when they saw me.

"What are you talking about?”

They looked at each other and then back at me, unsure if they wanted to talk but one glare and they told me what I needed to know.

"We s-saw t-the Lycan King's mate in the restroom and we think she's beautiful.” One of them replied.

Jager growled, "of course she is, and she's ours.”

We didn't get rejected by our second chance mate because of just anyone.

Going in the direction they were coming from, this was the chance I needed and it even happened faster than I could come up with a plan to get her alone.

“Don't mess this up for us.” Jager warned me.

"I didn't plan to.”

But as my eyes landed on her and her smell, now mixed with the Lycan King filled my nostrils, I lost it.

*****

A groan escaped my lips as I pushed myself up from the ground. I could barely feel my body and Jager was doing his best to heal me even though it was slow due to how severe it was. Dylan offered his hand but I glared at him.

“I'm sorry, Alpha." He started, not sounding sincere. “I couldn't do anything."

“Leave!" I growled to the crowd that had gathered and were staring at me. The show was over and no doubt everyone who came for the meeting would've heard about it.

“Aiden, let's just leave." Dylan said.

“Aiden?" I spat, “I am your Alpha, and you would refer to me as such.”

He apologized as I finally felt strong enough to stand on my feet, the crowd slowly dispersing. If anything now, I was more determined to get her back…I didn't care what I would have to go through but her rightful place was beside me and she was going to be there no matter what.

Dylan tried to say something but I ignored him and started going to the restroom to clean up.

“You had one job…one, and you chose to mess it up.” Jager growled at me.
