Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

Just then, there was a knock on the door. He walked towards the door to answer it although I was closer to it. I didn’t care about some knock. My head spanned at the moment. It had begun to spin a lot more lately. As he moved to it, he didn’t reach the door just yet. He stopped in front of me and watched my eyes. I looked away. He still didn’t move and then I faced him.

“What?” I asked.

“You are in my way.”

I eyed him as I moved away, “I should get going,” I said.

He held me as soon as I turned and I stared at him.

“What? Still in your way?”

“Clara, you know I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.”

“It’s not your fault Kieran, its mine and I’ll fix it.”

“No, we will fix it,” he said.

My eyes caught his lips as soon as he said those words. I couldn’t deny the fact that amidst the pain and anger, I felt a little warm. I took my hands away from him and looked away again. He was like my poison. I hated that I made him that.

He walked passed me and opened the door. I didn’t exactly see who it was but I could hear Alex’s voice. It was hard not to recognize his deep baritone voice. I had finally gathered the energy to leave when Kieran dashed back inside filled with energy.

“What’s the matter?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“Remember he spies I sent concerning that unusual movement that we noticed?”

“Yes?”

“Well, someone just sent a message.”

“What does it say?”

“I don’t know yet. I’m as curious as you are. The spy can’t relay information to anyone. So I need to be present. I’m heading there now.”

“Okay hold on, I’m coming with you,” I said.

“No, you don’t have to.”

“Why? I thought we are in this together.”

“Of course, we are.”

“Look, I feel somehow letting you go through all of this because of me. First Ryan and now this? I put war where there should have been none. At least being there and helping the little I can will give me a little peace.”

“When will you stop blaming yourself for all that is happening? All this happening now was meant to happen. I was supposed to meet you. You are supposed to be here. Have you ever wondered why I got attracted to you on the first day I saw you?”

“Well, you needed a replacement for your ex mate,” I rolled my eyes.

“I used to think that was the reason. But before I met you, there used to be missing pieces in my life. Somehow you helped me find them.”

“How? I don’t understand.”

“I don’t expect you to understand. Maybe if we had paid close attention to the prophecies, we would have known better.”

I turned to the door as it creaked open, Alex stepped in. Then Kieran gave him a signal and he walked back out.

“That’s my cue. Look I have to go,” he said.

For once in a long time, I listened to Kieran and I did not follow him to the border instead, I headed back to Nikkei. I didn’t even know why I opted to in the first place. Its not like I would have done anything to help if anything went sideways. But his last words before leaving was something I didn’t expect. I had no idea he saw me that way. I was glad that I wasn’t just a taker but at least there was something I could give.

I had not still been able to master my powers. But Nikkei had been supportive and above all, patient. The powers itself was like a puzzle and very much trick- ish as she usually termed it. I was beginning to feel like I didn’t have it me again. Maybe it had all gone away with Ryan or the red moon because sometimes I felt empty.

“And finally, she is back,” Nikkei said as soon as she saw me. I tried to force out a smile but nothing was forth coming.

“What’s wrong?” She noticed.

“I just got the biggest shocker of my life.”

“What happened?” she asked.

“Turns out Kieran is actually serious with the mating process. I thought it was all a fake.”

“Yeah, me too.”

“But he said it’s the only way that he can truly protect me. I have never gone through this process before how would I know?”

“He is right. After the mating process, you two would share some kind of bond. He will be able to feel you and so would you.”

“So, he would know when I’m in trouble.”

“Yes, don’t worry about it, it’s a good thing. Besides, it might help you have a better understanding about your powers.”

“You think so?”

“I know so. You aren’t just getting mated with any werewolf, it’s the Lycan king. And if anyone is connected to the ancestors, its him. And who is a better teacher than the first set of people with these abilities?”

“Yeah, I get you,” I said and with that, I finally smiled.

“What is it again? You still have those lines on your face.”

“Well, Kieran has put me in charge of handling everything about the mating ceremony. Including fixing a date.”

“Oh, this is good news,” she exclaimed.

“It is? I thought it was someone else that would. Like a parent or someone more advanced.”

“Look it doesn’t matter. You can do this. And I am here to support you every step of the way. Come on chill girl, we have a mating ceremony to plan,” she chuckled.

“I’m so glad you are offering to help. I wanted to ask for your help any way. A few minutes ago I felt the whole world was on my shoulders. Thanks for lifting the burden.”

“Its fine. Anytime.”

I smiled, “So how does this work? Where do we start from?”

I haven’t even started the preparation process and I already felt the load on me again. I just couldn’t wrap my head around why Kieran would ask me to organize it. Maybe he wanted to keep me busy or distract me. But from what?

“First of all you need to be calm. That’s the only way you would be able to think with a calm mind.”

“Yeah, I guess,” I settled by the edge of the bed. Kieran had instructed that Nikkei and I should carry out the training indoors. I had opted that my room would be much secured. And she didn’t oppose.

“You should have a cup of jasmine tea.”

“Why? We aren’t about to train.”

“It is just to clear your mind off stress.”

“Well, I don’t need that now.”

“You do or else we wouldn’t work,” she said.

“Alright fine, I thought I was the stubborn one.”

“Oh you have no idea,” she chuckled and handed me a cup of jasmine tea.

“Thanks,” I drank from it. And then the feeling came, the warm yet cooling sensation that always came with drinking the tea. I didn’t know if she added something extra to it, maybe one of those magic potions but it always calmed me down.

“How do you feel?”

“A lot better.”

“Come on drink some more.”

“I will but we’ve got to start preparing. Kieran advised I don’t take long unless, the Alphas would think that it was a fake.”

“Yeah, I get. So where do we start from?”

“We should start by fixing a date. The next white moon is in a fortnight, that should be perfect.”

“Yeah, signifies purity. The goddess would be proud and would bless you bountifully with heirs for Kieran.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Heirs for Kieran?”

The thought of that sent chills to every part of my body. I wish that she haven’t said that. The thought of having a family with Kieran. I couldn’t take my mind off the fact that he might still see me as his ex. Would we be happy? And most of all would I be happy?
