Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Kaia's POV

Dinner was over and Kieran was nowhere to be found. He'd blocked me out and I couldn't stop pacing around in the room.

“This is why you shouldn't block people out, it drives the other party crazy.” I thought and Lylah snickered.

At any tiny sound, my head jerks to the door hoping he would enter but there was no such luck. I felt my chest tightened at the thought of something happening to him. Did he run into the shooter again?

“Why didn't you tell me if I was going far?" I queried Lylah.

She snorted loudly, “You call that far? You went overboard, defying him in front of his members and then you took your step brother's side…do you want more?”

"Then why didn't you stop me?”

"Would you have stopped if I asked you to?"

I kept quiet, she had a point. I had been so concerned about how Dylan was to care about anything else and now, calming down to play everything all over again, I knew that I really have overdone it this time.

“Can you reach King?" I asked her.

“He's probably distracted, and he doesn't know I'm back, so…”

I groaned again, throwing myself on the couch. A small panic was building in my chest. Kieran had never gotten angry at me before, so I was lost on what to do.

I must've slept off waiting for Kieran, only opening my eyes due to the rays of light reflecting on my face. Pain shot through my body as I tried sitting upright.

My head darted to the door and then the bed which was untouched.

Kieran didn't come back to the room last night.

“Lylah…” I called, a tone of urgency in my voice. I quickly got on my feet ignoring the pain. “Is our okay?"

"I don't feel anything out of the norm, so he's probably still just mad at you.”

For some reason, she was acting nonchalant about Kieran not being here like it wasn't a big deal. But I didn't have time to talk about that. I took a shower in record time and made my way to his office.

The moment I entered the office, my eyes landed on his empty desk and a stiff air. Ryder and Caleb stopped what they were doing to look at me, both of them wearing different expressions…but the look of pity was similar.

“Where's he?" My voice was barely audible, a pang of guilt piercing my thoughts.

“He uhmm…has a meeting.” Ryder replied, avoiding meeting my gaze. It was obvious that he was lying.

Caleb didn't bother and I could swear that he was glaring at me and I deserved it. He was present during the episodes the previous day.

“Please,” I begged, "I just want to see him.”

"Sorry Luna. He left without saying a word.” Ryder replied.

I nodded, swallowing hardly. This was probably how he felt anytime I decided not to talk to him because of one thing or the other that wasn't his fault.

It felt like a part of me was missing alongside him but if he didn't want to be found, I knew there was nothing I could do. But that doesn't stop my heart from aching.

Dragging my feet away from the office, I went to the room. No doubt I wouldn't be able to pay attention to the girls even though I know they might be able to help.

“Lylah, what do I do?"

“Nothing, wait for him to come back." She replied, “then apologize. He can't stay mad at you."

I didn't want him to be mad at all.

I was too engrossed to notice Dani coming in front of me until she touched me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
