Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Kieran's POV

I watched as Kaia left the room, a smile on my face. Before I found her, several thoughts went up in my head about how I was going to react when I found her. Would I be angry, betrayed or sad that she doesn't trust me enough? But none of that happened, instead, a wave of relief hit me once I laid my eyes on her.

And everyday, she didn't fail to surprise me. It doesn't matter what she does.

“Alpha…”Caleb called, taking my attention away from the door.

"Yes.”

"Concerning the person who shot you, we didn't find anything reasonable." He said, “is there something else we can use?"

I shook my head, trying to recall every detail that could be of help, but apart from the suspicious movement, nothing else stood out to me as that wasn't the priority at the moment.

“It was like he was never there." Ryder added.

He had been the first person to get to the scene and searched everywhere thoroughly, but nothing came up. Caleb, being the second in command, had also felt that something was wrong with me and came running.

They were relieved to see I was fine and more confused when I told them what had happened, the fact that Kaia might be a wolf.

Just like Kaia herself, they didn't believe it at first but I managed to convince them.

“What about the substance used? Anything?"

I shook my head again, “it wasn't wolfsbane and…it works fast…” I told them, remembering how within a few minutes of being shot, King had disappeared. "I remember a weird smell like something rottenning.”

They frowned, "What could that be? I don't think I've heard about anything like that.” Caleb said.

"Neither have I.” Ryder agreed.

"I'll look for more information on the substance used, maybe we'll get something useful.” Caleb said after a while.

"Do you think he's the same person we've been chasing all this while?”

"I doubt it, there's a difference between there." I replied.

They both paused, their heads darting to me, waiting for me to clarify what I meant. And it wasn't like I was certain about it either because as much as I was looking forward to locking them up, I didn't want to make deadly assumptions that would cost us.

Besides, I realize how quick we are to assume they might be connected…narrowing our search range.

“Apart from the lack of smell from this one," I started, pointing to the first person that didn't seem to be moving forward. “Is there anything that stands out about him?”

Caleb massaged his temple, "we crossed out the fact that he might not be an actual rogue.”

I nodded, he was calculative, he knew exactly what he was doing.

“Is there a chance that this might be a plot from the Elders?" Ryder asked.

He has a point, “I wouldn't put it past them."

Since the day I ran out of their so-called meeting, I'd refused to pay attention to their threats…. which was a lot, they've been really quiet, which means they were up to no good.

“Do some more digging on the elders, especially those involved with the organized group."

“Yes Alpha, and they call themselves ‘The Axe' for whatever reason." Caleb said, a clear disgust in his voice.

I scoffed, the name was just as dumb as they are.

He left to go get started on it and I turned to Ryder. “Keep an eye out, just in case anything new comes up.”

He nodded, “Yes Alpha." And was gone.

I went over the report Caleb had given me, to see if something new was going to stand out, even though we had gone over them a few times.
