Claimed By The Lycan King (Kaia) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Kieran's POV

My gaze met Dylan's who looked away, bowing his head. King was still distracted from the look Kaia had on her face before she left. He was also wearing a familiar one, even though nothing was said.

“I’m going to ask some questions and I need you to answer them because I would not hesitate to throw you back to the dungeon. Do I make myself clear?" My voice firm.

"Yes, Alpha.” He replied, "I've told you ever…" he continued, but paused when Caleb glared at him.

“How did you hide your scent for that long?” I asked, that seemed like the best place to start. He paused, his eyes widened in confusion as he looked between the three of us.

“I had help…ermm.” He trailed off.

When he didn't continue, I took slow strides towards him, a smirk playing on my lips. He must think I was here to spend time with him.

Caleb passed me a bottle of wolfsbane and once he saw it, his expression faltered, but was back on almost immediately. He then paused, like he was talking to his wolf or mind-linking someone, but that wasn't possible so, it was definitely his wolf.

“A witch." He let out, just before the bane touched him. A loud groan escaped his lips.

“Now, that wasn't so hard." I mocked, "keep going, tell me everything.” I ordered.

“A witch helped me, I'm not sure what she did, but by the time she was done, my smell was gone. She also gave me some sort of bracelet that increased my speed, making me super fast.” He said.

"How can we reach her?”

He shook his head, "she's traveling around. The last time I met her, she said she would be gone for a while, nothing more.” He finished.

"He's telling the truth.” King said after a while, “let's hope he doesn't have anywhere important to be."

I stormed out of the room, my footsteps echoing loudly as I went down the hallway that led to my office. Pack members moving out of the way, after murmuring some greetings, which I nodded to. Caleb and Ryder followed me, both of them not uttering a word.

"We can't wait for that particular witch to return, dig into others that would be of help.”

"Yes Alpha."

“And I need everything you have on the AXE." I said, “we need to be prepared for them when they come again." They nodded, and Caleb left to deal with it.

“How was his conversation with Kaia?" I asked Ryder.

“Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and Luna was happy that he was getting better…they didn't talk about anything serious.”

I let out a groan, there was this uneasiness that I haven't been able to put a finger on. And no matter how many times I tortured Dylan, his answer remained the same, and nothing indicated that he wasn't telling the truth.

“Do you think if Luna talks to him, it'll produce a different result?" He asked.

I shook my head, "he's a Beta, he knows keeping quiet wouldn't help. So I doubt he has anything else to say.”

"Our mate shouldn't go anywhere near him.” King growled.

Yea, I didn't trust him either.

Looking up once more, I saw Kaia already coming towards me, and Allie used the opportunity to go back to the room.

"You're done? Were you able to get anything useful?” She asked, once she got to me. Worry about what my response would be flashed through her eyes. I didn't didn't understand how she was able to forget everything that he did to her.

"Nothing we didn't already know. But we're going to keep looking."

“Is he going back to the…dungeon?”

I shook my head, “Not for now." I told her and she fought back a smile.

“Okay.” She said, holding my hand. "And I have something to tell you, but it can wait. I'm hungry.”

"Bella…you can tell me on the way."

“I can, but where's the fun in that?" She asked, pulling me down to meet her gaze, she connected our lips, kissing me lightly. But before I could respond, she pulled away.

Fuck!

Pulling her back, a chuckle escaping her lips as my hand rested firmly on her waist, I kissed her again, this time, deepening the kiss.

“Kids are watching.” She murmured, pulling away again and I frowned. She waved to the kids who were really watching before pulling me with her.

She was going to be the death of me!
