A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 179: LUNA ZURI AND PRINCESS LYRA

When Khaos arrived at the Great Palace to rescue Zuri and was resulted with the dead of Elijah, the mysterious man had long gone. The other magic user didn’t say anything and Dezgar insisted that Rhett was the leader, which later on he told him that he had a seal on him.

This was the same seal that Lucas had, rendered him unable to tell Khaos anything.

"Who is that person?" Khaos approached Rhett. "There is no way a twelve years old boy could lead a cult and plan a beauty blood. Someone must have taught you the language of the lycan. Who is it?"

Rhett pressed his lips stubbornly, as if he was determined not to say anything, but Khaos was having none of it.

His movement was very fast when he grabbed Rhett’s jaw and pressed both of his cheeks with his thumb and forefinger to force him to open his mouth.

"A seal." Khaos pushed away Rhett’s face from him. "What the seal is for?"

Rhett touched his cheek and spoke through gritted teeth. "Can’t tell you."

"Or what? Are you going to die?" Khaos tilted his head. "Are all the people in the cult has the same seal?"

Rhett was hesitated for a while, but then he nodded, which confirmed Khaos’s suspicion. Rhett was not the perpetrator. He was not the mastermind behind it.

His family, his mother’s family to be precise, there was something not right with their family. Rhett’s mother happened to be in the Great Palace for years before the genocide of the lycan. They were up to something and Lucas was there to figure it out.

However, until now Khaos had not yet heard anything from him. The informant left his brother in Greywolf pack before he left, which was a smart move, knowing if he went against the cult, Khaos would be his only chance for him and his brother to survive.

"Your majesty, we can’t go back now. People will lose their faith in you," Rose tried to counsel him, but Dacre didn’t hear her.

"You will stay here in the name of the royal family."

"What?" Rose was shock when she heard that, she didn’t want to stay here. She just learned what actually happened in the palace through her own informant and could understand how such big scandal shook Dacre so much to the point he couldn’t care less about anything else.

It surprised her too because never in million years, she could imagine Nycta would do something like that, but that was beside the point.

The king was distraught and this was the right time to get to know him better...

Rose had not really given up on him, especially now when Khaos was not here. More so, getting closer to Dacre was easier than the alpha, there was something about that alpha, which made Rose scared.

"You have built the connection with the people, use that to appease them like you usually did. I will leave half of the warriors here to help you."

And now, all Rose’s hard work backfired at her. She had become an important figure in this pack, they treated her as if she was the luna of the pack, but that was not her goal.

"Stay, until I said otherwise."

Rose wanted to complain again, but the king had dismissed her and the next day, the king’s entourage had left River Creek pack.

The king left Rose with the mess that she had to clean up. She had to put good word for the king when inside, she was sheeting with rage for being abandoned in this pack.

A week they were in the Great Lunar kingdom, they finally got their hand on the princess. Caiden had been taking a note of her activity and one critical thing that came out from it was the fact that princess Lyra went to the shrine, not to pray, but to get the dose of her opium. She got high there.

And recently, she had been visiting the shrine very often, thrice a week.

People adored her because they thought, the princess was very religious, it offset their disappointment for the fact she had a union with a mere human. A merchant. Someone that was not from their race.

At this point, Bairone really had the princess in his palm, because she was not going to last a week without her opium.

"Who are you!? Guard!" Princess Lyra’s bloodshot eyes widened when she saw Zuri. She had never seen this woman before and her mind was a little bit disoriented, she had taken a few drags and now the hallucination and reality collided in her head.

For a moment, Zuri was taken aback to see her condition. She was thinking to herself. Did she look like that when she was in her crazy state?

"Who are you!? Guard! Guard!" Lyra lunged toward Zuri.

They were in the shrine, all the door was close. In the middle of it, there was a statue of Selene, the moon goddess. The God that the shifters worshipped, but here the princess was, getting high in the face of their goddess.

"There is no one will come," Zuri said, she composed herself. Staring at Lyra hurt her head. "Your guards will not be here." Khaos had taken care of that. "Let’s make a deal."

"I am not going to make any deal with you," Lyra slurred.

Zuri knew this conversation wouldn’t go smoothly and among them, she was the right person to go and have this conversation with Lyra.

Khaos would be too recognizable, while Caiden and Bryden didn’t really know what to say to make this woman to hand over the stamp, their only method was only threatening her, while Rhett... they didn’t trust him.

They only kept him around to keep their eyes on him.

"Think about it again, princess. We can do it quietly, or you can embarrass yourself." Zuri approached Lyra and took out something from her pocket. "Do you know this?"
