A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229: A MATE SHOULD BE

Zuri only had two days before they left again and if she didn’t go now, she wouldn’t get the answer. She wouldn’t get the information that she needed.

’What information do you need? I thought you are very happy to be Khaos’s lap dog?’

Xaden snickered from the corner. He was standing at the side of the window, where the moonlight filtered through and the only thing that made Zuri thought he was not real was the fact that he didn’t have a shadow.

Meanwhile, Khaos was sleeping next to her, thus she needed to get up quickly and carefully, just in case she would wake Khaos up.

’What? Are you going to betray Khaos now?’

Xaden laughed wholeheartedly, as if that was the best joke that he had ever heard. He mocked Zuri and pointed his bony finger at her.

’Look at you, talking about loyalty to him, but now you wanted to see that man to know more about the lycan’s past. What is it? Your conscience couldn’t take it when you learned that the lycan was a murderer? They are a murderer.’

Xaden snickered when Zuri glared at him and tried to ignore him.

’Your moral is skewed, Zuri. Oh. I don’t think you have moral at all. Moral is not something that someone like you understand.’

Zuri gritted her teeth, she was tempted to throw a flower vase toward Xaden, but her mind was clear enough to control her anger. She couldn’t wake Khaos up.

Carefully, Zuri got off the bed and walked toward the door, she opened it gingerly and glanced over her shoulder before she walked out of the room to check that Khaos was still sleeping.

However, when Zuri closed the door behind her and disappeared in the hallway, Khaos opened his eyes. He stared at the closed door, his expression was unreadable.

Zuri knew where to find him, it was not hard. All you need to do was asking a few warriors and you would get his location.

Zuri expected that. She noticed the gesture. Rocking herself back and forth, while mumbling something under her breath. She knew that. She did the same thing.

That woman tilted her head to the side and started a conversation with someone that none of them could see.

"She is in her sixty eighth curse." Lorent then came forward and then sat next to her. "She can’t proceed further, because it will kill her. She is stuck and this is her life now. She neither is dead, nor she lives."

The woman looked at Lorent and she smiled, but she kept talking to herself, yet she stared at Lorent as if he was sitting distance away, but then there was a flicker of realization, yet it was not enough to bring her back from whatever dreamland she was in.

She was crazy. In literal sense.

"Do you really think you can survive the completion?"

Zuri snapped back from whatever thought she had for this woman. She realized that Lorent was trying to find out how many more curse that she had before the completion, which meant he was not part of the cult. Khaos had been trying to find the leader of the cult, but Lorent seemed to stand at the opposite.

"There is a reason why the old dynasty ended. Reviving it will bring nothing good." Lorent’s voice was a little bit shaking, but when he caressed the woman’s head, Zuri could see how gentle he was.

"Do you really want a lot of people be like her? Like you?" Lorent then looked at Zuri. "I will be damned if I let someone hurt her, no matter what the reason. Isn’t that how a mate should be?"
