Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

“You just have to calm down, everything will be fine.”

“Surprisingly, I’m not worried about that. I’m just trying to figure out who is doing this.”

“Do you think that it is Ryan?” I asked.

“He would really have some guts to want to send spies here again. And worst of all, trying to turn my people against me.”

“Well, we don’t know yet. But he is still the prime suspect.”

“Look Clara, I really don’t want you to get your head in this. Don’t worry I’ll figure it out.”

“I know you will. I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m just here to make sure that you are fine. Feels like it’s my responsibility.”

He smiled, “you know it’s not your responsibility right?”

“Yeah, I do.”

“I have handled worse cases like this.”

A bang on the door caused a thumped in my heart. And Kieran walked towards it. It was Alex and he didn’t look like he had any good news down his gut.

“What is it, Alex?”

“I’m sorry to have interrupted anything,” he said as he saw me.

“Oh no, no you weren’t interrupting anything. How are things looking out there?”

“It have been a bit stable since you addressed the people but there have been a new development. And it is not looking good.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Some of the guards just came back.”

“Do they have any news?”

“No.”

“You said some, what of the rest?”

“They were one of the few that could escape. The rest have been captured.” Alex spilled.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Just then, his phone beeped and he looked through it.

“Oh my goodness, what am I looking at?”

I watched the lines on his forehead as he looked through his phone.

“What is that?” I asked still watching as the screen show brightly in his eyes. I walked slowly towards him and then he handed me the phone. First it was pictures of the guards that Kieran had sent to look for the spies. They had been captured and they were clearly in distress and then there was a text from an unknown number. The text read:

“A location will be sent to you shortly. Hand over the girl or they begin to die in the next hour. Your choice.”

I looked at Kieran as soon as I was done reading through the next word. And then I looked back at the text. It had a strange symbol at the bottom of the text. Like a red bull.

“What is it master? Any new update?” Alex asked.

Kieran turned to Alex, “it’s nothing I can’t handle. Look after the men that returned. Give them food and medication if they need any. I will meet up with them shortly. And most of all, do not let anyone know about this. Especially those outside this palace.”

“Okay sir,” he said and walked out.

“This is much more serious than I thought,” Kieran said as soon as Alex was out of sight.

“What are you going to do?”

“I need to find out who is doing this. My men are in danger or probably dead by now.”

“I’m so sorry about what is going on. This is my fault.”

“Don’t do that to yourself. It’s not your fault. I can’t just let you out there knowing Ryan’s intention. Ryan could have let other people know about the blood moon. Have that ever occurred to you?”

“Yeah, it could not be him but whoever is doing this clearly needs me.”

“We’ll figure this out. I just need to look closely.”

” Can I see the text again?” I asked.

He gave me the phone as he began his pacing around the room.

“What’s this symbol here?” I pointed to the symbol at the bottom of the text to Kieran. He took up the phone and looked keenly to it.

“I know this symbol. I have seen it somewhere.”

“Where?”

“I’ll be right back,” he hurried towards his study table and I walked towards him. I couldn’t quite understand what he was searching for but I just watched him and helped him put files away until he came towards a file and opened it. There were symbols all around and then we found the one that we were looking for.

“This is it. The bull. It is a symbol of the Crimson Pack.”

“The Crimson Pack? Who are they?”

“One of the most powerful werewolf pack in the region.”

“Why would they send this?” I asked.

“I don’t know.”

“Could it be that they have found out about the blood moon too? I mean it’s no longer a secret again especially with the blood moon just a day away.”

“Sincerely Clara, I have no idea. And trust me, I’m not proud that I’m saying that. Something doesn’t just add up.”

“Do you know anything about this pack?”

“Not much, I might be the Lycan King but every pack has their privacy. All I know is that they have been loyal. But matters like this that have to do with powers we can’t really say for sure.”

“Yeah your right. Well, I’m glad that you have discovered who sent the text. You can send your guards there now and get your guards. In exchange of me.”

“I’m not going to do that.”

“But why? You saw your guards. They could be dead. I can’t just seat here and let that happen knowing what is at stake. If it’s me they want, then they can have me.”

“Clara, they would kill you. The blood moon is just in a day. You would be used as a sacrificial lamb.”

“Kieran…”

“Clara, we aren’t talking about this anymore.”

He moved away. Pacing around.

“What are we going to do now,” I asked.

“I don’t know for now. Still trying to think of something. I should go and check on the guards that managed to escape. Maybe I can get something from them.”

“Should I come with you?”

“No, stay here. It’s bad enough out there. You shouldn’t get yourself entangled with anyone. As we haven’t known the spy yet. As soon as I get what I need, I’ll be right back.” He said and walked out.

I just couldn’t hold it anymore, my head spanned. I wanted to scream and call out for help. This was it, the end of everything that I have been fighting for. Everyone wanted me because of what they could get from me. Even Kieran. But luckily, his desires weren’t terminal. How could I possess such powers but yet I felt like the weakest. The pawn that everyone could use. It wasn’t fair to me at all. If I was truly the chosen one, then I deserved more.

The door swung open as Kieran walked in again. He didn’t take as long as I had thought.

“What’s wrong? What did they say?” I asked overwhelmed with curiosity.

“Surprisingly, they cannot remember the route to the location where they were held captive. But one of them stated that the walls were tall and made of bricks. If I know the Alpha of the Crimson pack very well, he is proud and seem to be the most powerful. Someone that proud would never want to have high wall. That’s only a sign of weakness.”

“What if they might have taken them somewhere else?”

“No, I don’t think so.”

I glanced at the time, we had just a few minutes left.

“There isn’t much time anymore. We should go.”

“Don’t you think that I know that? The Crimson pack will not just seat and watch us invade their space. They would retaliate and this would mean war.”

“Oh God, this is bad, this is bad.” I said.

“Yeah it is,” he sighted the file again and then he walked towards it.

“But what if this is just a plot, like a cover to what the main thing is?”

“How?”
