A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 89: A CORNERED BEAST

Caiden had sensed something was off with Zuri, but he couldn't tell what was that and now, he knew... she was insane.

Why would she attack Silas? More importantly, how could she exude such strong killing intent?

"Zuri?" Caiden called her name. He didn't know what to do or say. He could fight her and he would if it came to that, but it was obvious that the fight wouldn't end good for one of them. "Zuri, why are you doing this?"

The black beast let out a vicious growl, while Silas was trembling behind him. Blood oozed out from his deep wounds. He was dying and Zuri didn't even bat an eye to finish him off.

"Zuri?" Caiden gritted his teeth and he could feel it even before it happened.

Out of instinct, the gamma shifted into his beast right at that time when Zuri attacked him. There was no recognition in her eyes, as if she didn't know who he was.

The fight was vicious. They snapped at each other, trying to take their opponent down in the most vicious way possible.

Caiden couldn't take her lightly, because it wouldn't end good for him. From the look of it alone, Zuri was determined to get to Silas and Caiden was an obstacle in her eyes. She wanted nothing, but to see blood.

Blood...

More blood...

More of it...

The gamma was having a hard time to defend himself against Zuri, despite the fact he was a well trained warrior, Zuri's movement was unpredictable and she was incredibly agile and fast for her own good. She dodged his attack and got out his clutch briskly. It helped because her beast was smaller than Caiden's. She knew how to take advantage of it, which was... incredible.

Shit!

Zuri managed to circle him and get his back, she was so close to claw his neck when suddenly she stopped and then backed off.

Caiden didn't know what happened, but this was his chance!

"Stop it, Caiden."

Khaos's voice was not too loud, but it was firm. It filled with authority, which made Caiden stop in his attack. The gamma watched Zuri shifted into her human form. Her body was stained with blood. Silas's blood.

Seeing that, Caiden shifted back into his human form as well. He furrowed his brows deeply. "Khaos, don't come near her, there is something not right with her." He couldn't help, but feel this trembling in his heart. That was a close call!

How could a woman, untrained one on top of that, got his back?! That hurt his pride as a warrior. That's completely not right.

"Khaos, don't go! She is not in her right mind!" Caiden grabbed Khaos's shoulder and pointed his finger at Silas, who was so pale, pooled in his own blood. It was not sure, when he lost consciousness. His eyes closed, he looked like he was dead if it was not for the raising and falling of his chest.

Caiden flinched when Zuri growled at him, she glared at his hand that was on Khaos's shoulder. She didn't like it when he touched him. Her eyes were crazy.

However, Khaos shrugged his concern off and approached Zuri. He stretched out his hand, as The kept his eyes on her.

[Khaos!] Caiden warned him through mindlink.

[Back off.]

Caiden halted in his step to approach Khaos again, he didn't even realize that he held his breath when Zuri took tentative step toward Khaos and then... hugged him. She pressed her face against his chest and circled her arms around his body.

The killing intent in her dissipated and now, she was simply a docile woman, who sought comfort from the alpha. Her fierceness vanished into thin air.

Khaos hugged her back and patted her back, as she snuggled against his chest, whimpering. This sight was unbelievable for Caiden.

How could he almost lose to this woman?! She looked harmless and compliant, as she submitted to the alpha!

"Take care of him." Khaos nodded at Silas, while he still held Zuri in his arms. His expression was unreadable.

Hearing the order, Caiden mindlinked some of the warriors to do the labor work, but he checked on him to make sure he was not going to die and his healing ability could prevent that.

"He is alive," Caiden said, he scratched the back of his head, as two warriors came to his side and take Silas away. "What are you going to do with... her?" Caiden frowned. Zuri buried her face against Khaos's chest and had not yet moved ever since she hugged him.

"You can leave."

"But..." Caiden wanted to protest, but the look on Khaos's face must have told him that he was not going to budge.

In the end, the gamma didn't have another choice, but to walk away from there, yet not until The voiced out his thought.

"She is dangerous, Khaos. She is a natural." Obviously, he was talking about Zuri, but the later didn't even flinch when he painted her as a dangerous creature.

Of course, Khaos knew about that. Zuri was indeed a natural.

"Leave, Caiden. I am not telling you for the third time."

Leaving Khaos with Zuri after she showed him how good her fighting skill was, felt like it was not a wise choice, but the gamma pressed his lips and swallowed back his opinion.

He looked back over his shoulder and Zuri was still in the same position.

Once there was only the two of them, Khaos fisted his hand on her hair and pulled her head back slightly. He saw the look on her face for the first time. She was crying. She didn't make any sound that indicating she had been crying.

But, when she opened her mouth to speak, it was the most heartbreaking voice that Khaos had

ever heard.

"I am not crazy..." Zuri said. "I am not crazy. I am not crazy."

She looked terrified, like a cornered beast. A wounded one.
