A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: THE NIGHT AND THE HARLOT

"We need to try again tonight."

The thought of that made Zuri's stomach roil. She remembered the sight of Queen Rimera; pale, weak, exhausted, and pregnant. Would she be like that one day? It felt like she was looking into the future. That would be her own future.

"Fine."

However, that was the only word that she could say. She was not raised to say 'no', her mother always said only if they appeased their man, they could have some sort of peace.

And it was their duty to give birth to an heir.

"Good." Xaden nodded, as if he had expected the answer. He then stood up and walked away, leaving Zuri alone.

The rest of the day, Zuri decided to focus on the little cub that was given to her. She asked Esther and Sarah to ask a carpenter to make a small box for it.

"Why don't we give him a name, Luna?" Esther asked. She caressed the cub's head, while Sarah was combing Zuri's hair.

Zuri glanced at the little cub that was sleeping. She would think about that later. She had never had a pet.

"All of you can leave," Zuri said, dismissing all of them.

"Do you want me to put on some makeup..."

"No need." Zuri cut Sarah off quickly. There was no need for the effort, because it would be over soon. She wanted the sex to be over soon. "You can leave. Bring the cub with you."

Sarah and Esther didn't say anything anymore and quietly left the room with the white cub.

Actually, the two of them were quite skilled at what they did, sensible and thoughtful, able to read the situation accurately, but Zuri still didn't trust them. She still put her guard up and observed their behavior. Show her one mistake and it would be the end of them.

Once she was alone, Zuri stood up and then went to the bed. She sat there silently, waiting for Xaden to come.

However, when he opened the door and stepped inside, he was not alone. There was a woman with him and Zuri didn't need to guess where he found this woman.

He must have visited the brothel again, which was not a surprise to her.

"What is it? Who is she?" Zuri stood up and nodded her chin at the sheepish woman next to Xaden. Obviously, she was faking it to appear meek.

She was wearing a revealing dress that showed her cleavage and the tops of her big breasts. Her lips were as red as the color on her nails.
