A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 82: THE HISTORY ABOUT THE OLD DYNASTY

It didn't make sense for Khaos when no one knew what kind of medicine that Zuri was taking. Red Feather. It didn't sound like a medicine. He wondered if the drug actually was the one responsible for her hallucinations and why she was given the medicine in the first place.

Khaos had asked her when the first time she heard the voices in her head and she said she had been hearing that ever since she was a child, around when she was eight to nine years, but only a year after that she was given the medicine.

So, in that case, the medicine was not the cause of her delusion, but Khaos didn't want to rule out the possibility. It looked like an unnecessary problem that he shouldn't have mingled with, but somehow, his instinct told him to dig deeper.

"So, how can you be part of Celeste Kingdom's royal family?" Zuri asked again, curiosity was written all over her face.

Khaos looked at her gently.

It couldn't be said that he liked her in romantic way, but he had soft spot for her, probably it started when he saw her hugging herself in the cold night when she was being punished. The sight of her lonely back, engraved in his mind.

But, probably, it was therapeutic to talk to someone, who didn't constantly remind him about revenge.

"Queen Ann was not my biological mother. My biological mother died when she gave birth to me when she tried to escape the annihilation."

"But they said, the last queen of the lycan died in the Great Palace during the annihilation."

Khaos shook his head. "No. They killed someone else, one of my mother's personal maid, who apparently was being pregnant at the same time as her."

During that time too, the mistress of previous king of Celeste kingdom was giving birth, but she gave birth to a baby girl.

But, as it well known that you couldn't secure your position with a baby girl in the palace, especially when you were a mere mistress and the queen had given birth to baby boy. Your chance was close to none.

"They swapped the babies?" Zuri was shocked when she said that. The secret that Khaos let her knew made her scared. This was too much, but she wanted to know more about him.

"Smart," Khaos chuckled, didn't seem to be bothered by the shock on her face.

And that was how he ended up to be written as the previous king's son, the defect one, since he couldn't really shift in front of anyone, since they would learn that he was the last lycan.

The story sounded very simple and anticlimactic, but what happened during that period of time was trully chaotic to say the least. Swapping the baby was not an easy feat, it was a mix of luck, chance and craziness of the situation.

It was a miracle that they could reach to this point without being discovered, because everything had been running smoothly, Ezra and the other elders from the first generation that managed to escape the annihilation had been warning Khaos to not get reckless and get comfortable.

But, if they thought Khaos was slacking off, it was obviously they didn't see what he had done to keep everything in line.

It was not only luck on their side, since luck alone wouldn't be able to bring them to this

moment.

Khaos had been taking an active role to make a decision ever since he was only twelve. He learned about his origin when he shifted for the first time when he was only ten, by that time, Mabel was his nanny. It took a great effort for their people to put Mabel by his side, that was why Mabel saw him as her son, since she was literally the one, who raised Khaos.

And Khaos told Zuri about that all.

"That must be lonely." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Hm?" Khaos tilted his head.

"It must be lonely when someone demanded something from you. When you knew people around you only stay because they have their own agenda." Zuri rested her head against his shoulder. "When you don't have anyone to talk to."

Lonely.

That was an interesting word because that was what Khaos thought of her when he saw her that chilly night, alone under a maple tree.

And the way Zuri put it... he had never related himself as 'lonely', since he was surrounded by people. He had a lot of people under his command.

"...especially when you are the last lycan," Zuri added.

Yes, the last lycan with the burden of revenge for his entire dynasty and responsibility to revive it.

Zuri then closed her eyes because she started to see her mother, staring at her with a smile on her lips. She approved the way Zuri acted in this situation.

"That's right. Gain his sympathy and try to understand him. Man loves when they are being understood.'

Nycta was shaking when Dacre said he would come to visit her tonight, because she knew it meant she would sleep with Killian.

This would be the first time she slept with him knowingly, because the previously, Dacre simply held her down, while Killian put his seed inside her, in attempt to get her pregnant.

She felt stupid and some part of her wanted to run away, escape this nightmare. She couldn't believe how she could agree to Dacre's request?

But then, Nycta remembered their conversation and how she felt for him.

She tried to convince herself that this was the right thing to do, but as the night fell and her personal maid left the room since they announced the king was there, Nycta found herself

trembling.

She didn't want to sleep with another man.

She met with Killian, but the warrior looked very aloof, he acted very normal, which made her

confused if she only imagined thing that night.

However, she knew it was not only in her imagination. It was real.
