Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

It had been over two weeks since the meeting with the werewolf council members. And there haven’t been any issues or attacks from anyone. It was more like we were living in peace. I almost got used to it. The thought that Ryan was gone refreshed in my memory every time. We didn’t get the unexpected visits from any of his alibis. It was like everyone just went into hiding. Nikkei on the other hand had done according to what Kieran had instructed. And every morning, I started my day with a cup of jasmine tea made by a witch before she began training me. The more I trained, the more I knew how much power that I possessed and I got to understand why Ryan did not stand a chance.

It is often said that when a person is devoid of certain knowledge for a given ability or power, he or she would not know the capacity or length at to what extent the powers can go. That was how it was for me. On the day that Ryan had unleashed the powers in me, I had no idea of what level I could reach.

The morning had begun like every other day. I heard the knock a lot earlier than before. It was Nikkei, with a cup in her hands. My guess, the jasmine tea and I was not wrong. This time, she had decided to join me in having one. She said that it had the ability to cool the system and flush away the stress of the previous day. It was a witch thing. But for me, I just saw it as morning warm tea that she helped me with.

“Morning Nikkei, you never miss one of this, do you?” I asked taking the cup from her grip.?

“Not exactly my dear. I hope you are ready for the day?”

“Of course,” I smiled. It was what I was living for. Neither I nor Kieran knew when the members of the werewolf council will decide to act on their threats.

“That’s very good because today, we would be trying something very new. Something less of the mind and more of the physical.”

“That sounds fun,” I said.

“Yeah, it should but it doesn’t quite feel fun. Don’t you worry, you’ll get used to it,” she winked.

I didn’t know what she meant by it not being quite fun but she was a good teacher, kind and sweet, knowing the right words to use at the right time. Maybe she used a spell to get it right. I didn’t quite know.?

“Can I ask you a question?” I asked.

“Yeah, sure.”

“It might sound silly though.”

She looked at me, “I don’t mind. Just ask the damn question. So we begin,” she smiled.

“Okay, I was just wondering why Kieran asked that you train me.”

“Why? You don’t like my training sessions?”

“No, not that.”

“Then why did you ask?” She sipped from her cup and I dropped mine on the table.

“You are a witch and I’m not. I’m a werewolf. I don’t quite see the connection.”

“Oh that?” She chuckled, “I was expecting that question a lot sooner.”

“Then I guess you might have an answer for me.”

“Not exactly. You see, as the chosen one, there is a lot that you can do. Things that are far beyond the world of the werewolves. Far beyond this world as we know it. And the only set of people that works with the supernatural forces are the witches. So, Kieran insist I train you instead of his best werewolf warriors. Your welcome.”

“Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification but sometimes I feel like I don’t even have these powers in me. Like I’m just like every other lady that lives amongst these werewolves. Waiting to fall in love and be mated. Bore heirs and support the growth of the pack.”

“Well, you are far more than that. Far more than being mated to just any werewolf.”

I smiled. She was the real deal. She never minced words. And I always felt comfortable because I knew that she would never hide the truth. I didn’t know if it was a witch thing as well or her personality, but she was exceptional. It was nice having someone to talk to, a lady who understood things of the outside world. Maybe that was why we got along pretty well.

Kieran stepped in.

“Morning ladies, I see that you guys have already started the training for the day.”

“Hey Kieran, I nearly never see you these days,” I said.

“Well, you’ve been busy, just thought that it was best to let you focus,” he winked and I smiled back.?

Alex walked in and whispered in Kieran’s ear. After that, they left together. I wondered what he might have told him because Kieran didn’t look quite pleased after he had heard what Kieran had to say.

“He seems to like you,” Nikkei’s voice pulled me back.

“What?” I asked.

“I mean the King. He likes you.”

“Yeah, he does. He wouldn’t do all of this for someone that he hates now would me?” I scoffed.

“You know that’s not what I mean Clara.”

“I don’t understand,” I avoided her eyes.

“You don’t have to pretend. I know that you guys have some kind of connection. I see the way that you look at him.”

“Oh no, there is nothing like that. Kieran has just been very helpful. He has protected and stood by me at all time. I can never repay him back.”

“Maybe you don’t have to. You would be mated to him anyway.”

“You can’t possibly fall for that now. You know the mating thing is not real. He only did it to save me.”

“You only believe that because that’s what you have programmed yourself to believe.”

“So now you are reading my mind?”? I asked.

“I don’t have to. What you guys have is clear.”

“That’s just what you believe. It doesn’t mean that it is true.”

“Well, is it not?” She asked.

I took a deep breath and watched her but she still wouldn’t let the thought out of her mind and I was not in the position to let her see things otherwise. I didn’t even understand the feelings that I had for Kieran so how would I win the argument even if I wanted to keep up with the conversation? Maybe she was right. Maybe there was actually something between us other than the sex that we had with it each other. Something strong that could be bonded by fate. I could believe anything now.

I still couldn’t wrap my head around why Kieran just had to leave after Alex’s word. Maybe something was wrong. I felt it in my guts and I was always right whenever I had a strong feeling like that. It could be the werewolf council. I needed to find out.

“Are you okay?” Nikkei asked.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yeah, why?”

“You seem a bit distant.”

“I was just wondering what Alex said to Kieran that made him leave like that.”

“Oh, maybe its just the palace business. You shouldn’t worry your head about that.”

“Excuse me, I have to check something out. I would be back before you know it” I said and walked out.

Kieran had just finished talking to some of his guards when I walked up to him.

“What are you doing here?” Aren’t you supposed to be training with Nikkei?”

“Yeah, but I saw Alex whisper something to you so I was wondering if there is something that I should know about.”

“Yeah, he suspects some unusual activities around the borders. I have asked him to look into it. Although I have sent in some spies myself. You are the only one that knows this.”

“Oh I see. It could be them, these furious werewolves.”

“My guess too. Just so we are clear, I don’t owe you any explanation of what is going here in the palace.”

“I know, but I feel that I am entitled to know. Well, until I finally leave your palace.”

He gazed at me differently.

“Yeah, I still haven’t forgotten your wish or the fact that you called our moments a mistake.”

“Nothing has changed Clara.”

“Yeah, I know. And I don’t think that I want it to.”
