Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

“If you didn’t send that note then who did?” I asked.

He paused for a while as we walked down to his chambers, “have you ever thought that maybe the note wasn’t really for you?”

“Huh?”

“Just saying,” he said.

“Maybe we could have asked the men. Yeah, now that I think of it why didn’t we even ask them?”

“And you think that they would just give a response without a fight? Those guys are from other packs. As a king, I can’t just launch an attack on them, that would be causing war within tow kingdoms.”

“So who the hell is doing this?”

I faced Kieran again as soon as we got to his chambers hoping that he would have an answer for me. Just something that would help me wave away all the mysteries that had began to send thrills down my body. Whenever I was left alone to ponder in my thoughts or wonder alone in the palace, the goose bumps would appear on my neck as it felt as though someone was watching me. But instead, he sat there watching the books on his table with the same look he had all day; the one that signified that he had no idea on what was going on and I hated that he had that look.

Ever since I got to the Palace, he had always been the one with the plans. He always had a way of figuring it all out. With the stream of calmness I find in his eyes and the most soothing words that tend to escape his lips whenever he spoke. Even without a further assurance, I knew that everything would be fine and eventually, it was never the opposite. I loved that about him, pointing out the questions to proffer solution when there seem to be none, what could we be missing? What puzzle was left unturned? Maybe that was how he did it with the people. I never really understood.

“Something is definitely going on here,” his words pulled me from my thoughts. As he spoke, his eyes did not leave the study table.

“Yes, and whatever it is, it is not good for me.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He chuckled and still did not look away from the pile of books that laid in front of him. At first, I wasn’t bothered about it because he always had his way of revealing his goofy character at a very odd time.

“This person is trying to kill me. Do you think Ryan had sent another spy to town?” I asked.

“Ryan? Oh no, he wouldn’t dare.”

“Well, I still think its him. I mean who else?”

“I don’t know, but he would have some guts sending someone here after everything.”

“He really do have those guts because I can’t think of anyone else. And you don’t know Ryan, he is very stubborn and doesn’t give up until he has what he wants,” I rubbed my arms to ease the tension that grew within me as my mind still felt vacant to what was going on.

“Or perhaps, we could just be over thinking it,” Kieran said and finally looked up.

“How?”

“Maybe it’s just some kind of misunderstanding that we are yet to get our heads wrapped around.”

“Are you saying that this could be some sort of accident?”

“Yes, I can’t be wrong about that.”

I scoffed and walked to a distance. I couldn’t exactly tell what feelings was growing. Kieran could have been kidding, it would been much better if he was. To think that he was not being serious having the thoughts that I would actually make things up would have been a much more understanding feeling.

“You’ve really got to be kidding me,” I finally said after waving off tons of words that could have sprung up a lot of drama between us.

“What?” He shrugged, “I might be right, you might just be putting things where there is none. If a whole town is against me, this would be the least of the things my mind would have cooked up.”

“How can you even think that any of this could be an accident or a coincidence?”

He exhaled finally leaving the chair as he approached me, “I never said it was an accident or a coincidence. I’m only saying we shouldn’t rule out other options as well you know.”

“Kieran, I’m telling you that someone pushed me down the stairs that day and right now, I could have been dead if you didn’t catch me and you telling me shits,” I scoffed.

I just couldn’t place that he would even think that. Could he be in on it too? I watched him again but Kieran was too much of an arrogant king to want to succumb to the wish of Ryan or anyone else. If he wanted something, he never minced words nor hide under the guise of anyone. He went all put to get what he wanted.

“I know that you have been going through a lot lately. I mean what you have gone through is enough to make someone begin to see or imagine things.”

“Oh God Kieran, you are so unbelievable. Now I’m seeing things?”

“Just listen to me,” he reached for my hand and I pulled away just immediately, his touch irked me.

“How many times do I have to tell you that someone is out to get me? And all you can point out from all this is that I could be seeing things? You know what? I can’t have this conversation with you right now. I’m going back to my room. Maybe by morning, that’s if I’m still alive and well, we would have this conversation maybe by then, you would reason with me.”

“Stop Clara, you are overthinking this.”

“Good night Kieran.”

He sighed, “I can make arrangements for you to come back to my chambers.”

“You are a joker,” I eyed him.

As much as I wanted to stay back and banter words, trying with every inch of me to convince Kieran, I knew that I didn’t have much time.

The recent happenings wasn’t anything close to an accident or a coincidence, I wish Kieran could see this any sooner. I knew somewhere deep down, he believed me and wanted to help but he needed more proof and I was going to show him. There was someone out there lurking in the dark and waiting for a perfect time to strike again. This person knew just the right time to launch an attack. Whoever it was, was close and knew a lot about me and the palace. This person had the time to gather much information to plot a perfect plan and this scared me.

The more I waited the more I gave room for a perfectly cooked and planned attack on me. I was in danger. I needed to find out who wanted me dead, well, Ryan was the one and only suspect but just as he had done before, he wouldn’t dare come to town on his own. He would likely send a spy or perhaps someone who was a friend of the town and he had finally turned the person against the town just to have access to me. I didn’t know, just couldn’t place it yet. All I knew was that I was alone in this at least till Kieran see it the way that I did. I knew that he cared for me, I just didn’t know why yet but he did and it warmed my heart to know that there was someone looking out for me.

As soon as I arrived at my room the thoughts in my mind made me pace around for a while. If I needed to find the culprit then I needed to know who was new in town. And if I wanted to know that, then there are some questions that I should be asking.
