Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81

Kaia's POV

While waiting for the full moon to be able to get the ironbloom flower so that a solution can be made, Kieran had also been busy, coming up with strategies on the best way to go about it. Part of which means that only trusted warriors knew about it.

If they were really in the pack, it was best to take them by surprise. But because of this, I'd barely seen Kieran apart from when he comes in to sleep. And it was frustrating to say the least.

“You should stay with Dani today." I told Nessa, who was insisting on going with me to the pack hospital. “The last thing you want to see is blood and bones."

“I can handle it." She assured me.

But I shook my head, “we'll be back before you know it." I told her and this time, she listened.

Allie and I made our way to the hospital. They needed more hands, especially with how intense their training was in the past few days.

“The girl likes you, it's cute.” Allie said, "it shows how much she trusts you.”

"She reminds me of myself when I was her age…I mean I'm not that older than her, but it's like looking at a mirror.”

There were differences, she had parents who cared about her, but when it came to her dreams and what she wanted, we were not that different. And if not for anything, I wanted her to be okay and happy and I was going to do just that.

Most of the nurses were running around, trying to get things done so we joined them, cleaning up the wounds of those who didn't have anyone attending to them yet so that their wolves can complete the healing process.

About half an hour later, we were done and ready to leave when someone else was brought in. Allie froze when she saw who it was.

“What happened to you?" I asked the said person, rushing to his side to help him.

“I'm injured." He replied and I just rolled my eyes. “I can see that."

Allie didn't move from her spot, her eyes remained locked in on his wound. Worry flashed in her eyes but it was gone almost immediately. It wasn't anything serious and I'm sure he was only here because Kieran insisted he gets checked…well, now that Allie was here, it could be something else now.

But I could tell he was struggling not to look at her. I have not seen anyone more confused than he was when it came to what they wanted.

“I’ll go back to house.” Allie said, the lightness in her voice gone.

"That's okay, when I'm done, I'll meet you there.” She nodded and turned to leave.

Once my attention was back on Ryder, his eyes was staring at Allie's retreating figure like a lost puppy. I ignored him and began cleaning his injury.

“How did you get this?" I asked him again.

He let out a sigh, "I was distracted during a fight.” He replied.

"You made your choice, Ryder,” I started, and his eyes darted to mine. "so you have to let her move on and be happy.” A plan already forming in my head. And it probably wasn't going to end well but it wouldn't hurt to try.

"Move on? What are you talking about?” His voice had an edge to it. Even Lylah snorted at it.

Instead of giving him a response, I just shrugged and stood up, carrying the plate which contained everything I used on him and turned to leave the room. He was quick on his feet.

“You should rest a little while your wolf heals you completely." I told him, but my warning was thrown to the wind as he followed me, limping after me.
