A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: CRAZY MIND AND STUPIDITY

Zuri pressed her lips tightly. She just told her father that her mate, the very man he had chosen for her, had cheated on her. He kissed another woman right before her eyes, but her father wouldn't even give a shit about it?

Roland was not a good father and Zuri knew that, so there was no surprise here.

However, it still shocked her the same and her brain must not be working properly, because Zuri started cackling, which made Roland look even angrier.

"You didn't drink your medicine," he stated darkly. He was about to approach her, but Karina held his arm to stop him, which he brushed off and the woman stood there with a blank expression because she knew what was going to happen next.

This was not the first time and even though Zuri had been mated to alpha Xaden, it didn't mean this would be the last. Women would always be in the clutches of men and at their mercy in this world.

"Why are you so angry father?" Zuri was still cackling. She thought her life was a tragedy, but as it turned out, it was a complete joke. "You always believed that I was crazy. There is nothing new here."

A harsh slap landed on Zuri's face again, but instead of stopping, she laughed even harder, until her whole body was shaking. She looked crazy. Zuri felt crazy.

When the world tortured you too much and you were done trying to survive, all you could do was; laugh it off.

"You took a side, father." Zuri finally calmed down enough to talk coherently, while her father was standing there as if he was going to throttle her neck. His face was so dark, his pupils turned charcoal black and his gray hair made him look so old.

At fifty-five, he had long passed his prime, and now, Zuri had the strength and skill to challenge him. She could at least slap him, but there was something about him that stopped her from even trying, or even thinking about it.

She realized that when you were raised and trained to fear something, the fear would never fully dissipate. It would cling to you, persistent and familiar, regardless of the changing circumstances.

"Why did you take his side instead of your own daughter?" Zuri felt stupid when she asked this question, but then she already felt crazy, so turning stupid wouldn't hurt her much. "You talk about not tarnishing our family's name, but don't you think what he has done would drag our family's name through the mud?"

Zuri got off the bed and faced her father. She was a head shorter than him, but she squared her shoulders and straightened her back.

Her mother trained her to be a perfect luna and that was how she would act right now.
