Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

Kieran's POV

“A witch, really!" My mom yelled, pushing her way into my office despite Allie's insistence against it.

I raised my head to look at her without an expression on my face. I love how she thinks she could come into my office like it was her room. Since the meeting with the elders which didn't go the way she wanted to, I haven't seen her…until now that is.

“Excuse us." I ordered.

Ryder looked at me for a few seconds before bowing and leaving the room. My sister wore a worried look but I mind-linked her, assuring her that it was okay and she didn't have anything to worry about.

Kaia, who was laying in my arms also stood up, but my hand around her tightened and I didn't miss the confused look that appeared on her face.

“Why is she still here?" My mom asked.

“Because she is my mate and Luna, and you will treat her as such." I replied, my voice coming out low and harsh.

Sitting upright, I pushed myself up and went towards my desk, pulling one of the chairs to put beside me so that Kaia would sit beside me instead of in front of me.

My mom looked so close to throwing a fit but she deserves it for that stunt she pulled. And it doesn't come as a surprise that she knows about the witches. But after now, I'd definitely make it my responsibility to sieve out those who think it was a good idea to become spies for their former Luna.

“That is against the rules of this pack…after what they did, and you know that. Call it off.” She commanded.

I smiled humorlessly, "I think you're forgetting who is Alpha here, Mom. I don't take orders from you.”

"Bringing a witch here would only hurt the pack members.” She said, quickly getting over the shock that she felt.

"The only thing that is going to hurt them is if I don't find those people responsible for the killings…I'm sure you know about that too.”

She remained quiet.

Her head darts to Kaia who was watching the scene unfold without saying anything.

“Say anything to her, and I assure you this is the last thing you'll step foot into my pack." I told her through our mindlink and her mouth snapped shut before she turns to face me.

“I think you've forgotten that I was once the Luna of this pack."

“And I'm the Alpha now. The moment Dad stepped down, I gained full authority, and so did she when she became the Luna." King growled.

The expressions on her face never fails to surprise me but I was gone past caring about what she was feeling. That ended the moment she chose to side with the elders against me.

“Do you have something else you want to say, or did you come all the way to tell me that witches were bad?” I asked, tired of having this conversation with her, especially with Kaia here.

"You have to listen to me,” she started, her voice suddenly dropping a little, like she wasn't just trying to throw her title at me. “It's what best for the pack. Many people would die again but it'd be too late."

I paused, allowing what she said to settle in. I realized I never asked about what happened. All I knew was that a lot of people die and my dad made a decision to banish all witches and wizards from the pack.

“What happened back then?" I asked.

She froze, “what?" Her eyes widening.

I stood up, stalking towards her, my eyes not leaving her. “I just realized no one ever mentioned what really happened. I don't remember any war or an attack with witches…”

"Do you think that's what is important right now?” She snapped, her loud voice returning, but I wasn't fazed. Not one but.
