A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 181: BETRAYAL AND PAIN

Dacre and his entourage reached the palace within ten days, he marched toward the dungeon first before he met his queen.

There, he saw Killian was restrained to the wall with silver chain. He looked dirty and his hair was messy. He lifted his head and met his eyes, but those eyes filled with defiance. He didn’t shy away from the confrontation.

"Open the door," Dacre said and one of the warriors came over to unlock the cell. "Leave. All of you leave."

The king’s order was absolute, thus they left a second later. Neither of the warrior knew what happened and why the queen’s personal warrior was chained here. But, to see how livid the king was, they believe this was something fatal. Killian’s mistake was unforgiveable.

"Why did you do that?" Dacre asked, he entered the cell. He walked slowly, as if he didn’t want to come near him, but his body didn’t want to listen to him.

Killian scoffed when he heard the question. "Why not?" he asked defiantly. "I have slept with her once, why I can’t sleep with her again? Have you forgotten that the baby is mine?"

A harsh slap landed on Killian’s face, which made his ears rang. He gritted his teeth to hold back his anger.

"I told you not to touch her!" Dacre roared angrily. He slapped Killian again, but the man didn’t seem to care, he smiled derisively at him and this was the first time for Dacre to see such disgust from Killian. This man used to look at him with affection and devotion.

"Why not? You touched someone else too. You betrayed me and your mate. Why can’t I touch her when I already did it? You can’t say what I have done with the queen is a betrayal. You are the one, who had betrayed us to be with that woman."

A deep frown formed on Dacre’s forehead when he heard that. He didn’t have any idea what he was talking about.

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t act like a fool. I know that you are with that princess."

And it just dawn on Dacre what Killian and Nycta were thinking about him and his journey to River Creek pack with Rose.

"Are you insane!? There is nothing happened between us!" Dacre couldn’t believe it. He knew they expected the worst, but he trusted them, as it turned out, they had done the worst to him.

"How could I trust you?! Even your own mate didn’t trust you!"

Both of them didn’t trust him and as a form of revenge, they hurt him this way. Rage filled Dacre’s lungs and his whole body was trembling. He had gone through a betrayal once and now, he got another round of betrayal.

"I should have slept with her if this is what I got from the two of you," Dacre said through his gritted teeth. He glared at Killian. "I didn’t touch her. I want to touch her, but I couldn’t, because she is not the one that I wanted."

"I don’t trust you."

Dacre knelt down in front of Killian. "Look at me. You can tell when I am telling you a lie."

Killian gritted his teeth, but he held Dacre’s eyes. "I don’t know what to believe. I don’t trust you."

"You ruined everything Killian. If someone heard about this... if someone learned about this..." Dacre couldn’t finish his word, but Killian knew what he wanted to say and he said it for him.

"You need to choose between me or your mate."

Unfortunately, someone else was privilege to this conversation. This person heard everything and this shocking news reached Rose within a few days.

Killian was not only having an affair with the queen, but also the king and the baby was not even the royal blood.

The queen conceived someone else’s child.

With this information in her hand, Rose felt satisfied. It almost felt like she had a weapon so lethal that could destroy this kingdom and she needed to proceed this with care.

"I will meet you three days from now. I will give you more, but in exchange, you will give me the stamp."

Zuri said those words with ease. She looked at Lyra in the eyes and knew that this woman was a lost cause. She was too deep into her addiction. She was a mess and her eyes were bloodshot red. She would do anything. Everything to get her dose.

"No! Come back! Come back! COME BACK YOU BITCH! DON’T YOU DARE TO TURN YOUR BACK ON ME!" Lyra stood up and charged toward Zuri, but she slapped her so hard, she stumbled to the ground.

"Bring me the golden stamp." It was not even a request, but a demand.

And when Zuri walked away from the room, she heard Lyra was crying, she curled herself on the floor and tried to bite her own wrist, drinking her own blood.

On the third day that Zuri promised her, she came back, but before she walked out of the carriage, Khaos stopped her.

"You don’t have the idea to try it, right?"

"Try what?"

"The opium."

Zuri had done a great job of how to conceal her mind from Khaos, so he wouldn’t be able to hear what was in her mind, but it seemed, the alpha only played easy with her, because if he wanted to, he could intrude her mind.

He must have felt her curiosity.

"I am only curious." Zuri leaned over and kissed his lips, as Khaos held her waist. She had put more weight now and Khaos could feel that. He kissed her back.

"Don’t be curious." He bit her lip lightly and let her go.

Five minutes later, Zuri found herself in the same room, where the statue of the moon goddess was placed in the middle of the room with a young woman, laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling with blank face. She was hugging something to her chest.
