Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Kaia's POV

My jaw dropped as I stared at Dylan as he led Allie away. I knew it was my suggestion for both of them to ‘pretend’ to be in a relationship but this was on another level. They were acting like there was nothing fake about their relationship.

Although they did get a reaction from Ryder, who was presently beating his opponent to a pulp.

“I guess you didn't expect that to happen, huh?" Dani asked. I wanted to be chilled and enjoyed the drama unfolding before me, but I couldn't. Especially when Kieran returns and wants to know why his Gamma is acting out.

“Definitely not. I thought they'll just talk and all.”

She snorted, "like that'll do anything. But you're right, he's still in love with her. I really wonder what happened since he hasn't found his mate.

Before I could give her a response, Ryder made his way towards us, he looked defeated and lost. His knuckles were bleeding from his fight and a part of me regretted even suggesting this in the first place.

“Follow me, I'll look at that.” I commanded softly and without a word, he did.

“You should stop doing this to yourself." I told him, as I got started with cleaning his wounds.

He let out a groan, “it's one of the things that keep me sane these days." He replied. “She said she likes him…is it really that easy to move on?" He asked, his voice breaking.

He raised his head to meet my gaze, waiting for my response. I swallowed hard, I didn't want to lie to him, but maybe that was what was best for both of them at this stage.

“It's just one of those things, you meet someone else, you move on." I replied, looking away from him. “You can't control it most times, it just happens."

A sigh escaped his lips, “then, why can't I move on? I see her everyday and all I want is her in my arms.” He started, his voice dripping with sincerity and I nearly gave away what was actually happening.

"And no offense to you, Luna, but anytime I see your brother, I want to rip him into pieces.” He continued.

My face scrunched up as the image of that made its way to my brain. “Then, why are you putting both…I mean, yourself through this torture? Tell her, who knows what will happen?”

He stood up, “It's what is best, for both of us." He didn't even sound like he was convinced himself.

I fought the urge to groan, there was no doubt he was hiding something. One minute he says he wants her in his arms and the next, he says it's what's best for them.

"Is love always this complicated?”

"I'd like to remind you what you put Kieran through when we first met him.” Lylah said, and I rolled my eyes at her.

"You were waiting to slip that one in, weren't you? And I'd have you know that it was a totally different situation.”

“If that's what you want to believe." She murmured, but I just ignored her.

“Do you really think so?" I asked Ryder, “Then why do you have issues that she's moving on?" I finished, my brows raised slightly as he thought of the best way to get out of it.

"He's not right for her.” He said.

I nodded, "even if he's going to mark her.” His head jerked towards me faster than I could even blink.

I have a problem guys.

"You really couldn't help it even if you tried, can you?” Lylah asked, shaking her head at me.

“He's marking her?" He growled, his wolf slowly emerging forward. “I'm going to kill him."
