Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72

Kaia's POV

Dylan was awake now and compared to the last time I saw him, he looked better. His wolf was slowly healing him and the person I recognized was returning. He didn't say anything as I helped him up, giving him food and water. That was the least I could do at the moment since Kieran has forbidden me from using my powers on him.

“Ryder, are you seriously going to stand there all through?" I asked him, my eyebrows raising in disbelief.

“Sorry Luna, Alpha's command." He replied.

I took a deep breath, “of course he told him." I thought, as I'd already told Kieran, I was going to the child care.

Lylah snorted, “your excuse was nothing close to being believable. He just let you go because he knew they would be here."

Dylan was sitting with his back resting against the wall, his eyes remaining on mine even, his blue eyes, were a contrast to the dark circles underneath as I spoke to Ryder and then Lylah.

“I was wrong," he started, his voice still sounding raspy. “Your survival skills aren't that bad."

I smiled, the last conversation…probably the first one that didn't involve me trembling from what was going to happen. He'd told me how I wouldn't survive alone with my terrible skills. And in a way, he wasn't wrong.

"You were right.” I told him, and a surprised look crossed his face as I continued. "I got caught, about a week later though."

“That's something, but you're a Luna now.” he said, “so I'll say you survived just fine." He finished and I didn't miss the way Ryder rolled his eyes at that but I ignored him. He put himself in the situation, not me.

"Yea…" I smiled, my cheeks turning a bright shade of red. “I found out Kieran was my mate.” Second chance mate but what does that matter? He was the only one I wanted.

And besides, he knew about Aiden, so there was no need to open up that part of my life…at least not right now.

“So, how are…” I started, but the door burst open, and Kieran walked in, alongside Caleb. The air thickened as they came in, but no one was affected, seeing how both Ryder and Dylan held high position…well, Kieran was my mate.

They were both wearing matching expressions, their eyes fixed intently on Dylan, signifying the fact that they were not coming to joke around. My head jerked to Dylan, panic setting in.

They were both angry, especially with the attack on Dani and then having no clue about who the culprit was. And as much as I understood that, they shouldn't focus on the wrong person because something seems off about him.

“Alpha," Ryder called, bowing his head.

Kieran didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the bed where my hand was resting on Dylan's own and I snatched it away, murmuring a quiet sorry.

“Alpha.” Dylan said, but got a glare in response.

I wanted to assure Dylan that I'd talking to Kieran for him, but Lylah reminded me of what happened the last time when I did exactly that in front of everyone so I kept quiet. I couldn't exactly mindlink him to tell him that, so I guess that would have to wait until we were alone.

"Mindlink him.” Lylah said.

My brows furrowed, "you know I can't.” I told her.

"How would you know if you never tried?”

I paused, there was never a reason for me to mindlink him before, except I was asking for a death wish. It wouldn't have worked since I didn't have my wolf then…but I do now.

“Just picture him in your mind like you do with Kieran, and then talk." Lylah commanded, and I did exactly that, an image of Dylan worked its way into my mind.
