A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 44: XADEN’S TRUE PLAN

A harsh slap landed on Zuri's face, making her stagger back, but her expression looked bored. After what she had gone through at her father's hands, a simple slap was akin to a pat on the head to her.

They were going to die. She wanted them to die.

A coup against the king would ensure their death sentences, but Zuri was not stupid not to realize she would get implicated too. She could die too if Khaos couldn't save her from a death sentence, or if he chose to back down from his words and abandon her.

In her twisted mind, even though she realized that she actively ruined her life and the people around her, she somehow didn't care...

The voices in her head kept telling her that she was doing the right thing. Zuri felt this sick sense of satisfaction whenever she imagined Xaden and her father's faces when they finally learned she was the one who ruined their plan.

The voices in her head were excited.

"Do you know what you are even doing?! Do you want to tarnish your name?!" Alpha Roland was furious, and advanced toward Zuri, but she didn't back down. "What if your mate knew about it?!"

"What if he knew?" Zuri tilted her head, looking at her father with amusement. "You didn't care when he had an affair with countless women, but you were enraged when you saw Khaos touch me?"

"It's different between man and woman!" He hissed viciously. "Are you trying to be a whore?!"

Zuri laughed at the last question. "When men sleep around it's okay, but when I sought affection from another man, I became a whore?" Zuri stopped laughing abruptly. "I hate this life. If I could, I would burn this whole world down with me, with you and Xaden in the middle of it."

Alpha Roland was slightly taken aback by what Zuri was saying. He had never seen his daughter show such deep hatred as she did toward him in that moment.

But, his first instinct was to beat the shit out of her to straighten her attitude.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do that as Xaden entered the room and watched with his own eyes that Alpha Roland tried to hurt his mate.

"Hit her and you will regret it, Roland," Xaden growled, he was ready to shift into his beast.

Roland was so consumed by his rage that he didn't realize Xaden was already there. He gritted his teeth, but he said nothing about what he had seen between Zuri and Khaos. It was very predictable to Zuri, as it wouldn't bring any benefit to her father to air her affair.

Moreover, it wasn't like he had caught Khaos in an intimate moment with her; the most they had done was share a simple kiss. Zuri also no longer bore his mark.

"Step back, Roland!" Xaden barked. He strode across the room and pulled Zuri to his side. It must have boosted his ego to think that he saved his weak mate from her abusive father. freёnovelkiss.com

Zuri stared at his back, her expression impassive. Men were always very proud whenever they could save a damsel in distress.

"We will talk about this later," Alpha Roland said through his gritted teeth, as he turned around and then left.

Once it was just the two of them, Xaden turned around and checked on Zuri. "Are you okay?" He cupped her face and examined her body briefly. "He slapped you."

"He did."

"He will pay for that," Xaden growled angrily.

"How will you make him pay for that?" Zuri asked, her tone was casual, but she wondered what Xaden could do to her father.

"Once I am sitting on the throne, he will be at my mercy." He leaned over and kissed her lips. "Once you are the Queen, you can do whatever you want with him."

Zuri let him kiss her, he bit and nibbled on her lips, but her eyes caught sight of a letter that bore the Great Lunar kingdom's insignia.

"Great Lunar kingdom," Zuri stated and Xaden stopped kissing her.

Xaden looked down at the letter in his hand, he didn't realize that he was still holding it. He rushed here hearing Khaos had come, but the sight that he was greeted with was different and apparently, his half brother had long gone.

"You shouldn't have seen this."

Zuri ignored that, and took the letter to read it. Xaden had become a little bit fond of her and in a way, she advised him on some occasions related to business or her father. Her mother would be proud to see her finally embrace this role, since all of her lessons came to fruition

now.

"How could you cooperate with the Great Lunar kingdom?" she asked curiously.

She only told Khaos about the rogues that Xaden had hired for the past few months, but she didn't warn him about the potential threat from the Great Lunar kingdom.

"I have been in contact with him for years. Once I am sitting on the throne, we will share power together and eventually the Wolfdale kingdom will be under my thumb."

"You don't need the power of the Great Lunar kingdom to have control over the Wolfdale kingdom. That's a small kingdom."

"I know."

Zuri lifted her head from the letter and looked at Xaden's eyes, only then she realized the real picture behind all his schemes.

"It's not the Wolfdale kingdom that you want, but the Great Lunar kingdom."

Xaden's eyes lit up and he laughed heartily. "I know that you are smart, but you can see things

your father didn't even have a clue about clearly" He nodded at her proudly. "Yes, you are right. My end goal is the Great Lunar kingdom, but first, I need to get this kingdom within my

palm."

Xaden pushed her against the wall and started to lift her dress.

"That's why, you need to get pregnant and give birth to our first son, so no one could say

anything about the problem of an heir."
