Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Kaia's POV

As soon as the words left my lips, I regretted it. His piercing blue eyes were nowhere to be found, instead his wolf forced its way to the surface.

I curled myself on the bed, bracing for rejection. For Kieran to tell me that I was right, that he didn't want me as his mate. Instead he moved away from me and out of the door. His footsteps faded down the hallway and I felt a pang of uncertainty.

“Why did I have to say anything?" I thought. "Was I going back to the dungeon?” I asked myself since my wolf decided to play hide and seek with me.

Since I heard her in the dungeon, I've been trying to call out to her but there was no response and it was killing me.

"Why is my life such a tragic story?” I thought.

First, I lost the only person who cared about me and then my father married a woman whose son hated my very existence but was also the reason I escaped from my mate who threw me in the dungeon. And now, another Alpha was claiming me as his mate.

"He is our mate.” My wolf said, instantly brightening up my mood.

"You're back!”

"I never left.” She replied. But I didn't get the chance to ask all the questions lined up for her in my head.

The door swung open, and Kieran strode in, his chest and broad shoulders on full display. His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, making my heart skip a beat. His smell filled my nostrils, making my senses tingle.

“Fuck! He's hot.” My wolf moaned, and I couldn't agree less.

My eyes roamed his body shamelessly, “he definitely works out."

“What I would do to run my paws…" my wolf started before I cut her off. “Stop being a horny wolf."

“You know it's true." She argued.

Without saying a word, Kieran took a shirt from his closet and pulled it over his head, putting an end to my wild thoughts. I couldn't help the frown that appeared on my face when he did that.

“I'm sorry if I scared you earlier, my Lycan can get out of control sometimes." He apologized, his words sending a pang of surprise through me. Aiden would never apologize.

He came towards me, sending my body into a state of frenzy. My eyes widened, my breath caught in my throat, unable to comprehend what I was hearing.

"L-Lycan?” I stuttered.

"Yes, King.” He replied, completely missing the point.

I've heard a lot about the Lycan king. He was ruthless, and didn't care about anyone but himself. He has several women at his beck and call. The only good thing I heard was that he was good looking…and they were fucking right.

The image I had in mind was of someone older, but he was anything but that.

“You're my mate, why would I reject you?” He asked, his expression soft, his eyes held a warm smile, as if trying to put me at ease but it did the complete opposite.
