A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 134: THE DISCUSSION ABOUT ZURI
Chapter 134: THE DISCUSSION ABOUT ZURI
"What are you going to do?" Caiden asked Khaos after the meeting. They went to the woods, where Zuri and Gayle had their training.
Ezra was so eager to meet with Zuri, but Khaos didn’t allow him to see her. He didn’t say much during the meeting and didn’t really say his consent for the ritual tomorrow either. They only assumed, because the alpha didn’t disagree, he was on board with it.
"Tomorrow will be the ritual," Caiden said again, trying to gauge Khaos’s reaction.
"So be it."
"Are you okay with that?"
Khaos glanced at him. "Is it important whether I am okay with it or not? This is what is supposed to happen."
They lived for the revenge and logically, the completion of the beauty blood was a must. It was their top priority.
Caiden wouldn’t feel bad if he didn’t know Zuri personally, but they had spent months here in the pack and despite everything, he liked her, thus it was hard to simply watch when she had to go through the agony.
Therefore, it came as a surprise that Khaos didn’t seem to bother by it when he was so attached to her, but probably the alpha was very good at hiding his emotions.
"Khaos!" Zuri went to approach him when she noticed him, she was pinning Gayle to the ground, but immediately stood up to hug him.
"How’s your training?"
"Boring."
Khaos caressed her cheek and then took her hand. "I will show you something interesting."
This made Zuri’s eyes lit up, she was beaming, practically bounced when she walked next to Khaos, thrilled to know what he would show her.
The sky had turned dark because the day was shorter when it was winter, but the wind was not really cold. They opened the pack for people, who wanted to stay the night, since they had a long journey to get food that the alpha distributed.
Meanwhile, the royal warriors were still in their place, they didn’t do anything, which safe to say Dacre didn’t give them permission to carry out their original plan and now, Khaos was waiting what he would do.
"How’s the meeting?" Gayle asked, he patted his pants from dirt, he looked annoyed because he was being pinned down by a creature that was only a little bit half of his size.
"They agreed tomorrow will be the ritual."
"Oh." Gayle was not thrilled when he heard that, but he didn’t make any comment. Both of them then walked back to the pack house without saying anything. They were conflicted.
Gayle didn’t witness it with his own eyes, but he knew that inflicting curses on you wouldn’t be a nice experience.
On the other hand, Khaos took her to the healer’s house, this was the same healer that constantly giving Zuri the medicine that she needed.
"Alpha, what are you doing here?" Glinda asked, she was surprised to find the alpha and Zuri. She observed Zuri briefly, thinking there was something wrong with her, but she was fine.
"I will take her to the secret tunnel." Khaos entered the room with Zuri close to him.
Unfortunately for Glinda, the alpha didn’t ask for permission, he stated what he was going to do.
"What? Alpha, it’s fine for you to visit the tunnel, but she..." Glinda tried to stop them, but Zuri gave her a dagger look, you could feel killing intent emanated from the way she glared down at her, which instantly stopped the healer from following them.
Zuri had not yet done something to her. At least, giving a harsh slap like she did to her brother for deceiving her for years.
Thankfully, Glinda knew when to stop, but once the alpha disappeared behind the secret door, she immediately went to Rhett to inform him about this.
"What is this place?" Zuri was in awe to know there was this secret tunnel in the healer’s house.
"A tunnel that apparently your brother and his cult has built for years." Khaos then proceeded to tell her everything. If she was going to be part of this crazy situation, the last thing he wanted was to put her in the dark.
Zuri needed to know what would happen to her.
It was a long tunnel, thus they had a lot of time to talk before they reached the room that looked like a chapel, where the scriptures were.
Khaos put them back there once he finished reading them.
"You don’t look angry." Khaos noticed Zuri was not as angry as he expected when he told her the truth. Being betrayed by the brother that you thought you could trust was something hard.
Yet, as far as Khaos knew, Zuri just slapped Rhett, when she could have shredded him into pieces, knowing what she was capable of.
"No. I don’t think I am angry," Zuri admitted it after she gave some thought about it. "I am disappointed. I think the reason why I am not angry is because I am used to it. Being used by people around me is not something new for me. That’s the feeling that I can handle."
Zuri looked up to see Khaos and both of them knew that Khaos was using her too. Zuri knew that since beginning and she didn’t see something wrong with it, which was pretty messed up for someone to be fine with this situation.
"So, when is the next ritual?" Zuri asked casually. She was not stupid, the meeting that Khaos had earlier must have discussed all the things about her and with how eager her brother to put the curse on her in order to complete the beauty blood, she knew the ritual wouldn’t happen soon.
"Tomorrow."
The answer was very curt and that was their last conversation before they reached the chapel. Zuri was in awed when she entered this place.
"What do you want to show me?" Zuri asked eagerly.
"I want to teach you my language. I want you to be able to know more about the old dynasty."
