Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

My skin was cold and my trails were marked by my wet footsteps. I matched down to Kieran who was seated in the courtyard.

“What the hell?” He said as soon as he saw me all drenched. The tears falling freely was the only thing that warmed me.

“I don’t know what is going on but I think the entire town hates me,” my words were muffled as tears choked me.

“Hey, slow down. Get me a towel!” He called put for the maids and soon a towel arrived.

“Okay, tell me what happened? How did you get this wet?”

“Someone poured water on me.”

“And who is this person? Tell me so the guards can bring the person here.”

“No, it’s not about that. Something is going on in town and whatever it is, it sure doesn’t include my presence.”

“I don’t understand, you need to calm down and talk to me.”

“Look Kieran, I went to town today and everyone I passed by had this look like I was intruding in their space. Like I was some plague that had befallen their land. Even Donna didn’t let me go with her to her tomato farm. It was horrible. And then I went to see Magdalene and she couldn’t even look me in the eye. But she said something, that I am a weakling because I betrayed my pack. She asked me to leave several times but I just wouldn’t listen. I feel so humiliated.”

“Just breathe.”

“I think someone is spreading fake and horrible things about me. And whatever this person is saying, it is really getting into everyone’s head.”

“Okay look, I will send one of my guards into town to get the full information to see if you are actually right about this spy. If it is true, then we have to get this spy. So we can’t do anything for now until he returns. Right now you have to relax. Everything will be fine. Just breathe.”

“Who would want to do this to me? I don’t even go to town. Why would someone want to jeopardize my image to people I don’t even know?”

“Come on Clara, don’t do this to yourself.”

“You didn’t get to see the way they looked at me so you won’t understand.”

I just couldn’t control the tears as bitterness filled my heart. Everywhere I go I get to have enemies all around. I have always yearned for peace but instead got only the opposite. I crawled to Kieran’s arms and he stroked my hair. I didn’t want him to stop as it made me calm and a bit more relaxed.

“Come, I should put you to bed,” he offered.

He tucked me in bed and made to leave.

“Please don’t leave,” I said.

“But…”

“Just stay a bit longer, please.”

I couldn’t believe that I was actually asking him to stay but he was the only one that I could talk to at the moment. Every other person around saw me as an imposter but the problem was why they would even think that of me.

The next morning by the time I opened my eyes, Kieran was gone and so I went down to his chambers and found him talking to the guard that he had sent into town. Just as I arrived, the guard walked away and Kieran did not seem happy with the news.

“What did the guard say?” I asked.

“He said that you were right. There are words spreading all over town about you. And what you heard was just a little compared to what the people are talking about.”

“What are they talking about?”

“Well, according to them, you killed your parents and ran away. A pack welcomed you and you betrayed them by telling their secret to their opposition pack which planned an attack and wiped everyone out making you a betrayal. They also said that you cause havoc wherever you go. And so they want you out of the town.”

“Oh my God!”

“I know this is bad.”

“This is unredeemable. I am fucked. Were they able to get the person spreading this news?”

“Not yet. But the people are responsive so they would get the person sooner than we think. That’s a good news.”

“There is no hope, Kieran. I think I should just leave. Maybe my absence would bring peace back to the town.”

“Hey, let me handle this,” he grabbed my arms and then pushed me closer in a tight hug.

“What are you going to do?”

“I’ll call for a meeting with everyone in town. These are my people they would listen to me. But I need you to trust me because we have to work together. No more quarrels between us at least for now. You don’t have to do anything that would draw any more attention to you. Just be on a low ground for now.”

“Okay,” I nodded.

“And one more thing.”

“What is that?”

“You would no longer stay in that room. Just in case the people decides to take matters into there own hands.”

“So where would I stay?”

“From now on, you would stay with me in my chambers.”

“What? Kieran,”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you have any better plan?”

I paused.

“I thought as much, so my plan stands.”

His chambers? Come on.
