Chapter 92
Kieran’s POV
Everything was ready, the portion had been made, what was left was to put it in place and that was going to happen tonight. But to the warriors and everyone else who knew about it, it wasn’t happening until next week.
What happened during the full moon mustn’t repeat itself. Caleb had thrown himself in front of me, knowing fully well that the effect was less severe on me. But according to him, he wanted to make sure I caught those traitors and if I’d gotten shot, it’d be hard to transport me.
My command for him to rest fell on deaf ears, as he was in my office a day later, ready to get back to work. But I actually needed his help as the only other person I could trust decided was barely himself for reasons best to him.
The door swung open and Kaia came in, her smell filled my nostrils, and a sense of ease washed over me. Her presence alone was calming, exactly what I needed at the moment.
“Luna Caleb called, standing up to bow to her, something he started doing after she healed him.
I heard her groan, “You really don’t have to do that, Caleb.” She told him but he shrugs. A small smile played at the corner of my lips.
“How does she manage to look both shy and at the same time oozing authority?” I thought.
Pushing my seat away from my desk so she could have enough space, she walked over to me, sitting between my legs. My hand immediately wrapped around her, King purrs softly once she was comfortable
The past few days have been one of the worst, so I wanted to hold her as much as possible.
“I’ll just come back, Alpha.” I heard Caleb say which I just ignored. He didn’t need to be told twice before he excused himself.
“You’re going to be done tonight right?” She asked, her hands coming around my neck as she straddled me, and I fought back a moan. “I’ve missed you so much, Lylah misses King too.” She finished.
“I’ll take you on a date once this is over.” I promised her, and she nodded. “I can’t wait.” She replied, kissing my lips.
Not giving me the chance to respond, she pulled away and stood up from my lap, causing a frown to appear on my face at the sudden loss of warmth.
“I’m going to get distracted and forget the reason I’m here if I continue this way.” She said, my brows raised slightly at what she meant.
“It means she didn’t come here to see us, you dumb head.” King grumbled.
I rolled my eyes at him, “What crawled up your ass?” He ignored me, retreating to the back of my mind as I turned to face Kaia, who was serious about what actually brought her here.
“Is something wrong p>
She took a dramatic pause, moving to sit in the chair Caleb sat on when she came in. Her face didn’t give away what she was going to say, so I patiently waited for her to start talking.
“Allie’s going to mate with Alpha Declan p>
My head snapped to her faster than a lightning bolt. Several questions went on in my head at once. That was the last thing I was expecting her to say.
“He’s her mate?” I asked, my voice faltered in surprise.
It doesn’t make any sense that they would be mates, and I remember that he’d lost his mate. But they have to have met for it to be possible that she was his second chance mate. But even that didn’t sit well with me. I didn’t want my sister to be mated to a man like him.
Kaia shook her head, and my brows furrowed, “then why the fuck is she getting mated to him p>
Relief flooded my veins that they weren’t mates.
“Your mom wants her to, since she hasn’t found her mate.” She replied.
I pushed myself out of my seat, my fist clenched, my eyes darkening. “You have
got to be kidding me!” I growled, my voice trembling with rage. “She really doesn’t know when to stop p>
Kaia didn’t seem fazed by my outburst, like she expected it to happen.
“I’m going to be back soon.” I told her, before leaving the office, my footsteps were the only sound that could be heard.
At this point, I was seething. Who she mated with was her decision and since she failed with me, she was moving on to Allie.
I didn’t bother knocking on the door
as I pushed it open. My mom was the first one out of the room, just who I wanted to see. She had anger written on her face and I realized that since the day she came to my office to complain about the witches, I haven’t heard from her.
“Where are your manners?” She snapped, looking up at me. My dad came out behind her, his jaw tightening as he watched the scene unfold.
“I don’t care what you think you are playing at, leave Allie out of it.” She scoffed.
My dad stepped forward, “you may be the Alpha now, but I won’t hesitate to put you in your place.” He threatened, his Lycan coming out now.
King also pushed himself forward, “You can try,” he said, “what you will not do under my watch, is pushing Allie into a mating ceremony for your selfish gain p>
“For our selfish gain?” My mom laughed, “you mean for the benefit of the pack p>
A wave of fury washed over me,
“Don’t give me that!” my voice raised. My dad was fuming, but as he
DOR
wasn’t responding, I knew he was talking to his Lycan. The two them better act right since his mate has decided to be completely unreasonable.
“I’m going to say this once mom, and I hope to the moon goddess that I don’t have to repeat myself.” continued, struggling to keep calm. “If Declan steps into my Pack without my permission, you’lbbe leaving alongside him. Don’t push
me.” ‘
Her resort died in her throat, her face darting towards my dad and then back to
me.
“You’re going to banish your mother?” Disbelief evident in her voice.
“Like I said, don’t push me p>
Without waiting for whatever she had to say, I turned my back and stormed out of
the house. Barely a few minutes away, I noticed Kaia pacing around and the anger I was feeling subsided as she ran into my arms.
“Yes, I followed you. It wasn’t the best decision, but I couldn’t sit still and Lylah p>
“What are you going on about, Bella?” I asked. My brows narrowing.
“Me putting myself in harm’s way.” She murmured and I couldn’t help the smile that appeared on my face.
“Let’s just go.” I said, when I couldn’t come up with a better response.
Caleb’s mindlink came almost immediately we started going back, he wanted to
inform me that it was time to start preparing to move.
Fuck! I can’t believe I almost forgot about that.
