A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 174: WE NEED TO HELP THE ALPHA

What Zuri said was not exactly what Khaos had been planning, but it was so close. The only mistake there was; Zuri was still thinking Khaos’s goal was to give Dacre a bad image in front of the public when his true goal was to strip him down from his throne.

The golden stamp was almost in his hand and the beauty blood was only a curse away from completion. More so, seeing how normal Zuri was right now, one more curse would be a walk in the garden.

However, Khaos was still not willing to put her through the ritual. He was stalling and he knew that.

"That’s how you gained profit from the trading, hm?" Khaos pinched her chin and lifted her head so he could see those eyes, her black eyes sparkled in excitement. She was excited to scheme against the king.

"I am a merchant by heart." Zuri grinned.

"What if Dacre refused to buy it?" Khaos tested her. He liked to see the wickedness in her eyes.

"Then, he will let the people starved and it will be on him, if they died because of it. It will enrage the people." Zuri smirked. "I have observed Princess Rose like what you said and she cared so much about public opinion, that’s how she made her approach, there is no way she will not suggest the king to appease the people first."

"You are very smart," he praised her. "How lucky I am to have you."

Zuri smiled so wide, she thought she would look very ridiculous, but she didn’t care. His compliment sounded really nice. No. It sounded amazing. She felt great.

His compliment was like an addiction. She wanted it more.

And now, Zuri could understand. She didn’t change. She was still the same. The little girl, who was so thirsty for acknowledgment and Khaos always gave what she needed. He said the words that she wanted to hear. He touched her in a way that made her felt comfortable.

Whether it was a mate bond or not, or whether it was the attachment between the lycan and the Shell, Zuri knew that Khaos would be the only person, who could make her comfortable.

"Well, I am glad, I can make you feel that way." Khaos smirked. Her mind amused him.

"Stop reading my mind!"

Well, he comforted her, but he annoyed her as well.

"Who are you?" Ezra stared at the other person, who was hiding in the shadow of the night, he was standing next to an oak tree.

After Khaos ordered him to leave River Creek pack, he had been spending his time in Greywolf pack, fidgeting over the thought that Khaos’s attachment toward Zuri would hinder their life long goal.

"I am part of the cult. I am here to inform you about what happened," the man said.

His voice was low and rough and from his scent, Ezra knew that he was a shifter. If he was part of the cult, he must not be part of the magic user, who put the curse on Zuri.

The cult consisted of magic users and shifters alike, but Ezra had not yet had time to learn more about them, because Khaos was so livid when he learned what he approached Zuri behind his back.

The alpha was willing to throw him aside and demote his son for that woman. So, Ezra felt justified if he was worried if Khaos couldn’t complete the beauty blood.

"What happened?" Ezra proceeded with caution. He couldn’t believe this man completely. He put his guard up. He came here after a mysterious letter that he received two days ago.

"A lot has happened," the man replied and then he recalled everything to Ezra. Every single detail of it and the more he talked, the darker Ezra’s expression was.

"The alpha Killed the head of the magic user?! He killed Elijah?!" Ezra had expected Khaos would react badly to anyone, who wanted to harm that woman, but the problem here; there was no way that woman wouldn’t be harmed. "How ridiculous!"

And now, after he heard what happened, his fear was confirmed.

"He should have let them finished!" Ezra was pacing back and forth, he felt unsettled with this fact, but the next thing that man said left him speechless.

"I don’t think it will be easy from now on. The alpha has marked that woman."

Ezra opened his mouth, but then closed it again, he wanted to say something, but there was no word that could come out.

In the end, he shook his head and mumbled to himself. "We need to do something. As long as that woman with him, he is not going to complete the beauty blood. Khaos is not in his right mind. We need to help him."

***

The next morning when Zuri woke up, she didn’t see Khaos, but the side of his bed was still warm, which meant, he left not so long ago.

Zuri rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw Xaden was sitting on the edge of the bed, he was staring at him. It had been a while, since the last time she saw him.

"You again," Zuri said in annoyance. "Go away, you ruined my morning." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

’Good morning, Zuri.’

Zuri ignored him, but she mumbled under her breath. "At least, give me a peaceful morning first, before you fucked the rest of my day."

’Congratulation for you being marked by him.’

There was a clear disdain in his voice, but Zuri didn’t reply to him. Instead, she walked to the bathroom and splashed her face with water to freshen up. Today, they were going to meet up with Caiden and continue with their plan.

’Do you think he loves you just because he marked you? I marked you too, remember?’

Xaden was on her ears when she walked out of the bathroom and this time, Zuri turned around and growled at him.

"Oh, shut up!"

Right at that time, Rhett entered the room.
