Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

As soon as we were settled in, Kieran took up the stage. He said that it was important that he did.

“Good day everyone. It is important that I stand here and say this. I know this meeting was scheduled to hold a couple of days ago. But I opted for a postponement because Clara, the lady in question in which this meeting is being scheduled for was ill and needed enough bed rest to regain her strength.”

There were mumbling amongst the people. It was clear that they didn’t support Kieran’s words but he spoke nonetheless.

“But she is here now and I hope this meeting starts soon so we can go back to our lives,” he smiled and walked down. Someone else took on the stage.

“Thank you Kieran. Like you said, that was necessary. You all know why we are here. I mean, it is no news to us of the recent happenings. We, the werewolf council have done our investigations and we discovered that this must be hastily addressed before things gets out of hand. With that being said, I would like to call on the offender, Clara. To stand by the witness box for questioning.”

I turned sharply to Kieran on hearing my name.

“It’s alright,” he nodded, “they just want to ask some questions,” he nudged me giving me more courage to leave the seat. As I walked on, I still heard the whispers and murmurs behind me. I knew that everyone was staring but I didn’t mind. I trusted Kieran’s words.

“What happened that day of the blood moon?” He asked.

“It was just like every other day until Ryan showed up in the palace with some men.”

“And then what happened?

“He attacked us.”

“Liar! You attacked him and killed him!” I jerked to the voice from the crowd. I couldn’t have expected that.

“Let there be silence please. Clara can you explain further to how he attacked you?”

“He wanted to kill me so that he can have my powers. He chanted some words that unleashed this powers in me. I couldn’t control it.”

“It’s saddening that Ryan unleashed a power that he couldn’t control and therefore it consumed him. But we the council members are not pleased that you killed an Alpha and a fateful member of this council. Thankfully, we do not entirely blame you for his death.”

I felt a sense of relief. And I basked in it while it lasted.

“However, you earlier mentioned that this powers are so strong that you cannot control them. Seeing that you are unstable it means that you are a threat to everyone living and breathing in this town and beyond. Therefore, the werewolf council members have come to a conclusion that you will be retained and contained.”

“Excuse me, but why? That was not part of what was discussed,” Kieran interrupted.

“Our dear Lycan King, we couldn’t have let you all in in this discussion.”

“Why if I may ask?”

“We have seen how attached you have become with this woman and so you would not make the best decision for her.”

“You mentioned that she would be retained and contained, what does that really mean?” Kieran asked.

“It means that we would keep her away from the world until we find a way to control this power so it doesn’t harm anyone again.”

“Keep her away? How long do you intend to keep her? What if you don’t find a way to do this what then happens to her?”

The whole room went silent.

“We can’t say for sure,” the speaker said.

“My guess is she would be killed. Is that not so?”

There was no response.

“That can’t happen. Thank you all for your concern but I have my palace witch here that can help Clara control her new found powers. We would be leaving now. Clara…” Kieran signalled that I come along but the guards blocked my way.

“I’m afraid but we cannot let that happen. Clara is not going back with you. She is a nobody in this land. No family or mate and so we have every right to proceed right away.”

“But she is with me.”

“As what?” The man asked, “a friend? Or a guest? Perhaps an acquaintance,” They laughed.

“We know that she is no one to you,” he added.

“You are wrong. You are all wrong,” Kieran’s voice was firm. I couldn’t tell what he would do next. The members of the council had outsmarted us all. They just wanted me to be present so that they can take me. I didn’t know if they meant what they said about trying to help me control my powers or it was just a means to lock me away because they were scared of me. Just like everyone else.

“How so?” The speaker asked. I knew he asked on behalf of everyone.

Kieran always had a plan.

I developed cold sweat waiting for the game changer but none was forth coming.

“I thought as much,” the speaker said, “Take her,” he instructed the men that blocked me.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“With that, this meeting is over,” the man announced.

“Wait!” Kieran called back, “you can’t take Clara.”

“Come on Kieran quit it. This is a lost cause.”

“You can’t take Clara because by the full moon, we are going to be mated. I am going to make her my queen.”

Oh no, we definitely didn’t see that coming.

“What? This must be a joke.”

Everyone looked in awe.

“Try me. Anyone that wants to harm her will have to first go through me.”

The men that held me freed me from their grip. I watched in awe as everyone paved way for me as I walked to Kieran. They feared this man and with me by his side, they would not imagine what power we would command. I took his hands as he led me out. No one dared to follow.

The entire ride back to the palace was a bit quiet only Nikkei hummed a tune.

“I can’t believe you did that,” I just had to say something.

“I can’t believe I did that either. I’m sorry if I offended you but that was the only way to not let them take you. I can’t believe that they would keep out an important detail like that.”

“Perhaps they knew you wouldn’t accept. What are we going to do now?”

“I don’t know. Still thinking of something.”

“Like a plan?” I asked.

“Yes. A very good plan at that. This is not just Ryan or any hater that is haunting you. The entire member of the werewolf council is up against us. The most powerful and influential werewolves.”

“That is definitely something,” Nikkei scoffed.

“I know right?”

“Well, the deed has been done. They would be coming for us. We should be ready when they come. That is why I have assigned a duty to you Nikkei.”

“Finally some actual work. I am at your service. What is your desire?” Nikkei asked.

“You would be moving into the palace to tutor Clara on how to make use of her powers.”

“This could mean war against an entire Alpha,” I thought out loud.

“Since it is what they wish, then, let them come.”
