Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Kaia's POV

For some reason, I still couldn't stop thinking about Dylan, if he was okay and how he got into the situation in the first place. But telling Kieran was out of it. I barely survived one day with him being mad at me, I'm sure it'd be worse if it happens again.

Now that Lylah was back, Kieran was taking active steps to finding out what else Lylah could do apart from healing. He didn't want to assume that all that came up in the records they found was all she could do.

Besides, I haven't noticed anything else and I haven't shifted since then either.

“What are you thinking so hard about?" Ryder said, sitting beside me on the couch.

Kieran had gone with the pack doctor to discuss other details that I definitely wasn't interested in, so I stayed back in his office and so did Ryder.

“Nothing," came my sharp reply.

“Do you believe that?"

My shoulder slumped as I rested my back against the couch. “I don't know. No matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about Dylan…”

"I'd rather have the conversation about the blowing.” He said and I turned my head away, hiding the embarrassed look on my face.

“Shut up."

“But hey, I'm willing to put my life on the line if that will give you all the information you'd need. The Alpha will–”

I threw my hand over his mouth, "shut up.” I repeated, my face a blushing mess.

Once that was over, he looked at me, the playful glint in his eyes disappeared. “You should just let that go." He started, a frown forming on my face.

“You've been here for a while, so whatever you knew about him might have changed…you said it yourself, he wasn't the nicest person to you even while you were there.”

"But he's the reason I'm here. What if he hadn't…”

I shook my head, trying to push away the thought of what the case would've been if Dylan had left me there like everyone else.

"That doesn't make him a good person.”

They were all saying that, even the girls thought the same thing too but there was no way I could turn a blind eye to him…even if it was just for the fact that he saved me.

“I know you think you owe him that…” Ryder began again and my head jerked to him. "but the best thing you can do for him is not make the Alpha anymore mad.”

"I don't think I can do that,” I started, and even Lylah groaned at that.

"Even I can't help you.” She said.

"He's still my brother, and no part of me thinks he's responsible for the shooting. The real rogue is out there."

He paused, “we know that, but he could be a spy. Not to forget, he's a Beta to your former mate, so he could be a spy. How do you think that makes Alpha feel?"

“Kieran is my mate, the only one I know and that's all that matters."

When I saw that nothing I said would change his mind, I let out a groan.

“Can you do me a favor then?"

His brows furrowed, “after the conversation we just had, I don't think that's a good idea."

“It's nothing bad," I insisted. “Just make sure he's fine and give him enough food."

“Are you trying to get me killed for some reason?"
