Chapter 111
Kaia’s POV
The guys couldn’t shut their mouths when they got to the office and I narrated the same thing I told Kieran about Nessa. It was hard to believe that the seventeen year old girl we all doted on, was a witch who was out to get us for only who knows why.
“This feels unreal but her inquisitive nature suddenly makes sense.” Dani said, “she was asking because she needed information to work with.” Her disappointment, just like the rest of us, was evident on her face.
“And she succeeded.” Allie murmured, her voice low and the light in her eyes dim.
Her own case was a mixture of disappointment and dealing with Dylan’s absence. I’m sure Dylan was kicking his fist in the air for leaving also.
We were all gathered in Kieran’s office and I made myself comfortable as we discussed the next step. I pushed away the thought that it was through me that she got access to the rest of them.
“There was no way you could’ve known.” Lylah said, and I nodded.
Ryder stood up, going to Kieran’s desk where he picked up some papers before coming back. “But this is a list that contains the names of everyone that was banished,” he started, “it also has the names of their children. So how did Alpha Tyler miss her or her parents p>
“She was adopted, remember?” I asked.
“But none of them had a child named Nessa p>
“That’s because her name isn’t Nessa but Zara.” Allie replied and I didn’t miss the way Ryder’s head darted to her, a small smile on his face.
He really should set his priorities right.
“She must be having a good laugh at us wherever she is p>
“If I lay my hands on her, I’ll teach her a lesson she’d not forget in a hurry.” Dani threatened, cracking her knuckles with a murderous look in her eyes.
Kieran who had been quiet and deep in thought until now spoke up. “Under no condition is she supposed to find out that we know about her.” He ordered.
“What?” We chorused.
“Wouldn’t it be better if we have her punished, Alpha? It’ll put an end to all of the attacks we are experiencing.” Dani asked and I agreed.
Leaving her to go about acting like she was just an ordinary kid wasn’t doing us any good. Pack members were scared about who would be the next to be attacked and where was safe, if the shooters were able to breach the patrol team at the Pack borders.
“Having her would do us no good as much as having her free would.” He said and I couldn’t help the confusion that appeared on my face.
“Can’t you just use your Alpha command on her to make her confess?” I asked.
“She used spells to cause the death of the shooters we caught to prevent them from exposing their secrets.” Caleb said. “the moment she knows we’re onto her, there is no telling what she can do.” He explained.
I nodded, “so we pretend to be clueless p>
Then Kieran went ahead to explain that no one knew the extent of her powers and if her step parents were also a witch and wizard or if they only knew about it and were keeping it a secret.
“I have no doubt that she’s working with the leader of the shooters…that’s who she’s giving information to.” Kieran said.
“Fucking hell!” Ryder cursed. And I understood his frustration, it keeps getting worse.
“Now, we’re going to let her lead us to him.” Kieran finished, and we all nodded. But it would be difficult relating with her the way we used to but if that was the fastest way to put these incidents behind us, then we would do it somehow.
Kieran assigned different tasks to Caleb and Ryder, getting information about her step parents and even on her now that we had what to work with. Soon, it was just both of us.
I leaned on Kieran’s body and he immediately wrapped his hands around me, resting them comfortably on my stomach, sending warm feelings through my body. It wasn’t showing yet, but it didn’t change the fact that our pup was growing in there.
“Why do you think she’s doing it?” I asked him.
He let out a deep breath, “Anger..Revenge… Blackmail. It could be anything p>
If it was anger or revenge, Kieran wasn’t the one who had her parents banished from the Pack. So she was focusing on the wrong person and considering the fact that some warriors were killed as a result, she was harming innocent people too.
“He isn’t,” Lylah said, “but what’s the best way to get back at his parents if not through their children and when they least expect it.” She added.
“I’ll make sure we catch her before she harms anyone else.” Kieran promised, as if reading my thoughts and I nodded.
Our pup was going to grow up in the safest environment and if that was going to happen, the likes of Nessa…Zara has got to go. A part of me felt sorry for her, that grew up with so much hatred in her.
“You can’t save everyone.” Lylah told me.
I went back to the room since Kieran
needed to sort some things out regarding the Alphas’ meeting coming up. I was already drained and a wanted was to sleep which was exactly what I did once got on the bed, pushing away the thought of Nessa, the Alpha’ meeting and even Dylan…if he was okay.
Kieran was smiling at me when I opened my eyes, he was bending down beside
the bed and a frown appeared on my face.
“Why are you staying there instead of coming to bed p>
“I brought you something to eat.” He replied signaling to the tray which contained
food and my stomach growled at the sight.
It didn’t take long for the food to be done with, and Kieran clear the plates and then laid on the bed beside me. We enjoyed each other’s presence, talking about plans for the future, our child and even the Pack but nothing serious.
“I want to have four kids, so they can always have someone to play with.” I said,
when he asked how many kids I’d like to have. “What about you p>
He shrugged, “maybe three…but I’m fine with as many as you want.” he added.
“I think four is perfect.” I told him raising my head to look at him and he nodded, “I think so too.” He said, kissing me on the lips lightly.
and
Even though we were only having our first, I knew I wasn’t going to stop there. Being an only child wasn’t fun for me growing up since he had Allie and the guys, it was much more easier for him. I want my…our kids to be able to play with each other.
“What do you think about having your Luna ceremony after the Alphas’ meeting?” Kieran asked suddenly, snapping me out of the daydream of watching our kids run around.
I sat upright, turning to look at him. “That was unexpected p>
“I’ve been thinking about it, I want our pup to be born when you are recognized as
the Luna of the Pack officially.” He said. “You’re carrying the heir of the Pack, and
I want him or her to be respected as that.
I nodded, I guess it was time for that to actually happen seeing how I’ve been avoiding the topic for a long time but I can just do it and get over it once and for
all.
“That’s the spirit!” Lylah exclaimed excitedly.
“Yes, let’s have it then.” I replied. “But with everything going on, do you think it’s
the best timing p>
“We’d work things out before then.” He assured me.
Since I was already doing most of the duties, I might as well get committed to it.
