Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Kaia's POV

I sat up disoriented, “What happened?" I thought, trying to place the pieces of what I know together. I didn't remember putting on my clothes and the last thing I remembered was being in the bathroom.

“Our mate found us and helped us." My wolf said, her voice echoing in my mind.

When she said this, a quick image of me gripping onto his hand flashed through my mind. Thinking hard, I could hear his voice telling me something but what he was saying wasn't clear enough.

“Did he change me?" I thought, looking away shyly. “I mean he's my mate, he's bound to do that one day."

“I'm glad we both agree on something." She replied.

I rolled my eyes, it was obvious she was in a mood this morning, and I wondered why that is.

I was feeling a lot better after sleeping it off, but I should probably ask Kieran if I can get drugs for it just in case it happens again.

“How come you don't have a name?" I asked my wolf suddenly, remembering my conversation with Dani. She did say that was the first thing she was supposed to tell me. But I guess mine was different since I didn't exactly shift into my wolf form.

“I do have a name, you didn't ask."

My face fell, feeling a pang of embarrassment, “I didn't know. I just assumed you didn't. Nobody told me anything."

“It's okay Kaia, I was suppressed, only coming out when I could.” She explained and a puzzled expression appeared on my face but she continued before I could ask. “My name is Lylah.”

I smiled, "Lylah is such a beautiful name.”

"Just like my human. I just wish you would see that and allow yourself to be taken care of without being scared of something going wrong.”

“I'm just trying to protect us." My voice was low, like if I spoke too loud, it was going to break.

“Do you ever think that while you are doing that, you're actually denying us a chance at being happy? You're never going to find out if you keep pushing our mate away."

I fell quiet, taking in what Lylah said. It brought back most of what actually happened the previous night. This was the exact thing I was thinking about when my attack started. I also remembered Kieran wrapping his arms around me.

I paused, when her words sank in. “Suppressed?” I yelled. "Why would I do that? I've always wanted to get my wolf. Besides, how is that done?"

The door creaked open, revealing Kieran. He was holding a tray I guess contained food.

“Oh good, you're up already." He said, coming over to the bed and placing the food in front of me.

My stomach growled at the sight of the food. The tray contained toast bread, eggs, bacon and tea, that was enough to feed five people.

"Than…" I trailed off, when I saw his raised brow.

“I'll leave you to eat. I'll come back when you're done." He said, turning to leave and I felt a pang of disappointment.

"Don't go…please.” I begged, stopping him in his tracks. He turned quickly as if he was waiting for me to stop him.

He sat opposite me on the bed, filling my plate with food before pushing it towards me and nodded for me to start eating which I did, moaning softly from how good it was.

“It's really good."

He nodded, smiling. “I know. I think I'm going to grow fat if it goes on like this." He said, and a chuckle left my lips.

“I don't think that's possible, you're so fit. It's going to take more than a few of these to make you fat." I thought.

But a smile appeared on his face. I don't think he'd smiled this hard in front of me before and it was beautiful.

“I guess I can eat more then, since I'm still so fit."

And I froze, using one hand to cover my face. “You were not supposed to hear that." I murmured.
