Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

My head was starting to spin.

“I want you to be mine, Clara.” He echoed once again.

“This must be some sort of joke. This lady here is mine. She is my fated mate,” Ryan walked up to the Lycan king as he spoke..

Fated mate? He has got to be kidding me.

This was supposed to be like a farewell time out. But now, it was as though I was the cause of an impending doom.

“Your fated mate?” He chuckled, “And when have that been any of my concern. I am Kieran, the Lycan King. I get whatever or whoever I want.”

“I am sorry but not this one.”

“Ryan, you have to calm down. Let me handle this, I can speak for myself.” I mumbled, feeling embarrassed that this was happening in the presence of other pack leaders.

“And who are you to speak to me in that manner?” Kieran barked at Ryan.

I had still not recovered from the shock of his words and hearing him speak more only caused a storm in my head. Maybe he was a prankster and he was only making good a joke.

I wished.

“I am her mate and we are meant to be together. She is mine and so you can’t have her. I’m sorry but there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.”

“Oh I see,” Kieran chuckled.

I didn’t know which was more alarming, the fact that I was been wanted by a stranger like a piece of object to be auctioned or Ryan’s continuously being so possessive about me.

I was not a child. I wanted him to stop speaking for me. If he had actually granted me my freedom as he had claimed, then he would have given me to opportunity to at least confront the situation by myself but instead he kept talking and spitting words to my face.

“Stop!” I screamed, “Can you guys just stop!” I yelled again and everyone turned towards me.

“I thought this was supposed to be a meeting about the affairs of the people but here we are talking about who has possession about me. Did you guys even stop for a minute to ask me what the hell that I want? Ryan,” I turned towards him, “I thought I would have my freedom what’s all this about? I am not a child I can make these decisions by myself. And you Kieran, I don’t even know you and I can’t be yours. Let’s just stop the whole drama and focus on what’s at hand, please.”

“You are mine, Clara and I am not going to let anyone, not even the Lycan King to take you away for me.”

“I thought we had an understanding?” I asked him.

“Not in situations like this, Clara.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“I thought as much,” I said with tears swelling up by the corners of my eyes, I couldn’t let them all see it so I fled the hall. I didn’t know exactly were I was going but I needed the space to be able to think. Ryan had lied to me all along, it was obvious that he wasn’t ready to let me go.

The thirty days was part of the plan perhaps a means to keep me with him. Hearing him say those words only revealed that nothing could be real. I had thought the hurt was gone with the pains but clearly, there was a new one emerging from within. Having the hopes that I could actually be free only made it worse.

Finally, I found the female rest room. I closed the door behind me taking off every bit of tears that was left by the corners of my eyes.

Perhaps he only said those words to protect me.

I knew Ryan cared but a bit too much. He had always hoped for something between us even when there was none emerging. There was no other way to tell him that there was no us. I just wanted to be free from all the clutches of bad relationships I always ended being a part of.

As I watched my face on the mirror I still saw the glint of hope in my eyes. I still had a few days to spend at the Manor, Ryan was no coward and so I knew that he would keep to his words.

I didn’t know how to face the people at the council again not after what had happened and so I planned on waiting in the limo until Ryan was ready to leave. That way, I wouldn’t have to see the many faces when the meeting was finally over.

As if I suspected that someone was coming, I peaked just as I got out from the restroom to the hallway but it was as empty as when I first walked in at least so I thought. I walked down the hallway as fast as my leg could carry me. I couldn’t tell exactly what I was walking away from but the more I thought about, the more it occurred to me that I needed to get to the limo before anyone sees me.

Still locked up in the clogged thoughts in my head I looked around and over my shoulders again that I did not see the person in front of me and so we jammed each other that I tripped on my step but before I could reach the ground, he held me closely looking into my eyes. The eyes were somewhat familiar as I realised just immediately that I was in the arms of the ruthless Kieran. My heartbeat accelerated almost immediately and I swallowed emptily, cheeks blazing:

“Hey,” I pulled away just immediately and moved backwards a bit.

“And we meet again,” he said.

“Oh it’s you. You look quite different without the robe. Why are you here? Are you following me?” I asked adjusting my dress.

“Of course not. I mean you got my message why then would I be following what is mine.”

I scoffed at his arrogance, “In you dreams, now if you would excuse me I was heading out.”

“You would be quite excluded my lady but just after this conversation.”

“What do you want?”

“You heard me quite well in the hall when I made the announcement or do you think I was bluffing. If you know me before now, you would know that I find it disgusting and a total waste of my precious time to bluff over what I want.”

“Can you even hear yourself? Does it not sound funny to you? You want someone that you don’t even know and could probably be with someone else.”

“Ryan? Is that who you refer to? Sometimes I wonder who is much more ruthless. Anyway, that is not my problem right now. I saw it in your eyes when you spoke to him.”

“What do you mean?”

“That you do not love him. But what I don’t quite understand is this mysterious look in your eyes.”

I looked away just immediately he said those words.

“They wander, searching for something that they just can’t see. What is it that you are looking for? What do you hide behind those eyes.”

“That’s none of your business.”

“They are mysterious and misery intrigues me. You intrigue me Clara. As much as I know that I always get what I want, let me help you find what you are looking for.”

“I have found all that I am looking for and I don’t need your help. Thanks for your concern.” He held my arms as I made to leave, then he dipped his hands in his pocket handing me a card.

“What’s that?”

“My number. If you change your mind and want to find that thing that you yearn for, all you have to do is call.”

“Kieran, I don’t need your card. Besides, I never admitted that I was looking for anything.”

“Oh, are you not?” He asked fixing his gaze on mine. I didn’t know how he did it but there was something about his eyes that sent chills through my body. It was though he saw through me like a transparent door. I snatched the card from his hand and he smiled leaving my arms as he walked ahead.
