A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34: DEPRAVITY

"How dare you cause a scandal and create more trouble?!"

Alpha Roland just arrived at the Blackthorne pack, right before a day Xaden did. The first thing he did, of course, was to confront his daughter.

The report that he received about the reason for her confinement was ridiculous, but as silly as it sounded, his own daughter just confirmed it.

"Clear out the area and don't let anyone come closer to the bedroom," Luna Karina instructed Sarah and Esther. She didn't want anyone to learn what happened here.

She also stepped out of the room because she couldn't handle watching Roland unleash his wrath, but before she closed the door behind her, Zuri's black eyes met hers. There was a strong disappointment there. Understandably so.

This was not the first time Zuri's mother chose to turn a blind eye to her suffering, but certainly, it wouldn't be the last. There was no surprise there.

Meanwhile, Alpha Roland was unleashing hell upon his own daughter.

"You are crazy! Disgraceful to your family! It is your mother's fault for not being able to teach you proper manners!" He raised his hand and was ready to slap Zuri, but this time, she glowered back at him.

"I might be pregnant! Hit me and I might lose that precious baby again!" Zuri emphasized the word 'precious baby' in a mocking tone.

Alpha Roland thought about that and lowered his hand, but he smashed a tea cup against the wall and it shattered into pieces on the floor, yet Zuri didn't flinch, even when a stray shard grazed her cheek.

Blood oozed from her small cut, but it healed almost immediately.

She was not pregnant, but there was no need for her father to realize that.

"Do you realize that it could become a nasty scandal?!" Alpha Roland faced his daughter again. "If you really got pregnant, the baby would be questioned! I thought you were smart enough to think it through!"

"I guess I am not that smart."

His hand twitched, a sign that he wanted to slap Zuri again, but he refrained himself from doing so. "Pull yourself together, this is not the right time to be a brat."

Alpha Roland pulled a chair and sat down. It took him a while to compose himself, while Zuri was standing in front of him.

"Tell me, what do you learn about Xaden's movements? Is there something suspicious?"

"Father, I have been under house arrest, how could I go around investigating?" Zuri then added. "There is nothing suspicious as far as I know." Her voice was sweet.

"Excuses!" Roland lashed out and Zuri knew it was a sign for her to keep quiet, as he was going to go on with his yapping.

This conversation was so much different from the one that she had with Khaos. She missed those long conversations with him. She missed being heard...

And as usual, Zuri put on a blank face. She trained her eyes on her father, but in actuality, she didn't see anything. She was too numb to be scared.
