A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: ZURI'S PLAN

"You managed to get her onboard?" Caiden looked at the alpha, he was surprised to learn about it. "How did you charm her?"

"She wanted a way out of that union."

Khaos had just returned from the Blackthorne pack after escorting Zuri back. He took five of his warriors as an extra protection.

At first, he thought Zuri would reject his offer to escort her back to the Blackthorne pack, because it would cause a scandal. It wouldn't look favorable for her, but to his surprise, she agreed with him.

Khaos still remembered the look on Xaden's face when he saw his mate with him. Zuri caused trouble, but when he saw that woman, she looked nonchalant, defiant even.

And by the time Khaos returned to the Gray wolf pack, it was already dawn, but he had a great time last night. That woman... surprised him. He knew that she was the mastermind behind the River Creek pack's business deals while her father had been claiming credit for her ideas.

"Why? Is she not happy?" Caiden dug deeper. He walked beside Khaos in the hallway.

Khaos glanced at Caiden. "Who could stand waking up to that face every day?"

After saying that, Khaos went inside his bedroom and closed the door, while the gamma was laughing so hard, his face turned red.

Zuri didn't take her cub back. The white furball needed extra care, something that she didn't have any idea about. Instead, she would get him back in the party that the Gray wolf pack would hold in two weeks from now for their alpha's return.

It was still early in the morning and Khaos needed to catch up with his sleep, since he stayed up the whole night. But the same couldn't be said about Zuri. Because Xaden was mad beyond reason upon seeing his mate return with another man in the middle of the night.

She was locked up in her bedroom now.

Xaden was enraged enough to hit her again, and this time, he didn't hold back. The previous night had been long and agonizing, and Zuri endured it all. She had anticipated this punishment when she decided to visit the Gray Wolf pack, fully aware that it defied Xaden's orders not to interact with Khaos.

Well, it seemed, she would never be able to agree to that, since she just had a deal with him.

She was still feeling exhilarated from the small rebellion she had staged and the pain had dulled by the time the sun rose. Thankfully, as a shifter, she healed faster, or else, Sarah and Esther would be cleaning up her wounds and taking care of a few bruises right now.

Yet, when the afternoon came, she could feel the high slip through her fingers and leave her with this fucking numbness.

There was this noise from behind the door and Zuri recognized their voices.

"Go inside, I will stand on guard here."

"Luna..." Esther called her from the door, as she crept into the room with a piece of warm bread and a glass of water.
