Zuri finally fell asleep and Khaos mindlinked Gayle to bring Glinda to the room to treat her wound. The silver had burned her skin.
"It will leave scar." Glinda stared at the red loop around her wrist. "I will make a concoction for it."
Glinda felt bad when she saw Zuri’s condition, but feeling bad was not enough. She had dedicated her life for the cult. Her loyalty was on the cult. Her loyalty was on her master.
"You can leave," Khaos said after Glinda explained a few things about the wound. For now, they needed to keep the wound dry.
"Lucas wanted to talk with you, alpha, his brother just arrived last night," Gayle said, after Glinda left the room to make a concoction. "Do you want to see him?"
Gayle was still trying to feel how Khaos saw Zuri, but it was safe to say that no one should mess with her in front of the alpha.
Whether the alpha genuinely cherished her or not, he was already too attached to her.
"Ask him to come here."
Gayle actually wanted to ask about his statement related to the gamma position, but he swallowed back and then left the room.
Not long after, it was Lucas, who opened the door. He walked in and the first thing he saw was Zuri. He heard what happened, even though not the detail of it. He didn’t even try to find out more than he already knew, because he didn’t want to be involved in this anymore.
Before his eyes was the lycan. The last lycan and this fact alone was enough to shake the entire realm that a lycan survived the massacre and he would definitely put the realm into chaos.
Lucan didn’t want to be part of it.
"I thought you will deceive me and will not give back my brother, but because you keep true to your word, I will keep mine as well." Lucas frowned. He had thought about it carefully. "I held back one information about Rhett and Declan’s maternal family." Lucan didn’t even start this conversation with a greeting. "Some of the members of their family are not shifter. They are magic user. Rhett and Declan’s aunt, their mother’s little sister, is a magic user. And they have a deep connection with king Amidas."
Khaos lifted his head and looked at him with cold gaze. He was leaning his back against the headrest with Zuri cradled in his arms. Both her wrists and ankles were bandaged.
"That’s not only one," Khaos pointed it out.
"Well, technically, it’s the same thing. So, it’s one." Lucas shrugged his shoulders.
"I want you to find out what kind of connection between their family and king Amidas."
"No." Lucas waved his hand, as he declined the order. "I am out. Rhett has found the lycan and you two seem get along, so leave me out of it."
Lucas glowered, he cussed him out, but there was no sound that came from his opened mouth, as he let out a stream of cussing word.
Yet, Khaos simply shifted his gaze away from him and when Lucas didn’t get anything from Khaos, he stormed out of the room and quickly looked for his brother.
Rian was a young boy around the age of eight. He used to be skinny, but after being held captive, he had plumpy cheek and clean clothes. It was very clear to see that he was well fed.
"Are we going now?" Rian asked his brother. He was sitting on a bench, swinging his legs. "Are we going to Greywolf pack house?"
Lucas pressed his lips when he heard that. "What? Do you like to be there?"
"Yes!" Rian answered happily. "I have two friends! They are twin! They look so much alike. Sometime I mistook them and also they have plenty toys. They also have a few wolves!"
"That bastard of alpha," Lucas cussed under his breath again, annoyed with Khaos.
"Oh, there was a warrior, who came to me and give me that, he said to give it to you."
Lucas saw the big pouch and he knew it was money.
