A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 169: THE LYCAN MARKED HER AS HIS
Chapter 169: THE LYCAN MARKED HER AS HIS
Zuri was in and out of her consciousness, every time she woke up, pain was the first thing that greeted her. Pain, a lot of pain. Her father’s needles seemed like a pat on the head in comparison.
Night and day were no longer important for her when all she knew was agony that ran through her being. How long she had been in this hell? Why she didn’t die yet?
This place was akin to a cave, there was no sunlight or moonlight that could go through and the coldness in the air didn’t soothe her aching open wound.
At this point, Zuri welcomed everything, even the death. The voices in her head didn’t bother her, because she was too busy with her pain. Even her hallucination didn’t come forward to accompany her during this hellish moment.
Very nice of them, right?
There was nothing important right now, really, there was nothing more important. Zuri only wanted this pain to end. She didn’t want to live anymore.
All this life gave to her was grief, misery and torment. And more torment.
The anger was no longer enough to make Zuri wanted to kill these people, who had hurt her, it was not worth it. They were not worth it, not even her anger.
A moment ago, Zuri felt this coldness, as if her body was being drowned under a frozen lake, but right now, the fire licked her, it started with the tip of her fingers and spread so fast to all over her body.
Her throat must have been ripped because of how much she screamed and when the darkness came over, she hanged onto it dearly, this was her only escape from the suffering. Yet, it didn’t last for long, because suddenly commotion erupted and for the first time, someone touched her.
Was it over?
That was the first question that came to her mind, followed by a realization that she was still alive, which was very disappointing, she was ready to end it.
These stupid people couldn’t even kill her.
However, this time her mind was lucid enough and Zuri forced herself to open her eyes. The smell of blood hit her senses. The smell of her own blood. Great. They were going to bleed her to death.
At first, Zuri didn’t realize her surroundings. How could she when she had been in and out from one hell to another, but gradually, aside from her own blood, she smelled something. A familiar scent. His scent...
With so much difficulty, as if her eyelids were glued together, Zuri finally opened her eyes and his figure was right in front of her. He looked worried. His jaw clenched tightly, as he tried to undo the silver chains that bind her to the slab.
More blood oozed out from the opened wound, but she couldn’t feel the pain anymore. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
His lips moved, as if he was saying something, but the ringing in her ears prevented her to understand what he was talking about. He furrowed his perfect brows and his grey eyes were slightly darker. He talked with the urgency.
Yet, all Zuri could feel was this funny feeling that bubbling in her chest. She was heaving and her body was trembling. She thought, she was shaking because of fear or agony, but second later she realized that she was laughing.
Zuri was laughing maniacally when she saw Khaos. Everything jumbled up in her head, it didn’t make sense and she couldn’t stop herself. She kept laughing, even though she was having a hard time to breath.
The silver chain burned the lycan’s hand, still he didn’t show any pain, as he tore it away from Zuri’s body, threw them across the cave with so much rage before he cradled her in his arms. Zuri was still laughing crazily.
"Zuri."
Zuri heard when Khaos called her name, but she couldn’t register her current condition. She raised her hand and caressed his cheek, smearing blood on his face.
"You are not real," Zuri was slurring. She was not sure if Khaos could understand her incoherent words. "Go and die, Khaos. Go and die with all of the people that support you."
"We will get you out of here," Khaos ignored what she said, probably he didn’t hear it, since she didn’t speak clearly, but his grip on her tightened.
"Go fucking die..."
Khaos then lifted Zuri in his arms, but she started thrashing her body. Causing her to fall on the ground, because she managed to free herself from Khaos’s grip.
Zuri stopped laughing and started screaming again, hitting her head against the slab. More blood.
Seeing this, Khaos immediately shielded her head from the stone with his own hand, but Zuri hit her head with her own fists.
"STOP! STOP TALKING! STOP!"
The voices returned, but this time, they were more vicious than before. They told her about everything that she didn’t want to hear. They chanted how useless she was and recalled all the nasty thing that she had ever heard in her entire life, even to the one that she was no longer remembered anymore.
It almost felt like a lifetime abusing words were thrown to her face at once. She didn’t know what to hear, Khaos’s voice was drowned by the voices in her head.
"ARGHGH!!! STOP! STOP! STOP!"
Khaos tried to hold her hands from scratching her ears until they were bleeding, but Zuri tried to hit her head against his or anything solid that could draw pain on her.
"Enough, Zuri. It’s me. I am here..." Khaos pressed her head against his chest, at this point, not even the sound of his heartbeat could calm her down. "It’s okay, you are alright now."
"MAKE THEM STOP!"
Khaos knew what was happening to her at this moment and his body moved before his mind could rethink his decision, as he sunk his teeth on the crook of her neck, embedded deeply in her flesh.
The lycan marked her as his.
