Khaos had been advising for him for long, so it would be very stupid of him for not knowing a way or two of how his mind was working.
Khaos actually managed to charm Zuri to betray two packs, there wouldn't be any leverage that could make her sway to the other side, but it didn't mean he couldn't use that woman.
"What false information that you wanted alpha Khaos to know?" Leonard asked. He furrowed his brows, trying to catch up with the way the king was thinking. "Do you think he will not realize?"
"There is no reason for him to suspect the woman, who is very infatuated with him. He will think that he managed to trick me, but it's the other way around." Dacre saw Nycta from afar, she was surrounded by two of her maids. She just recovered from the mark he gave her, thus she was a little bit pale right now. "Keep a close eye on Khaos's movement."
"Yes, my king," Leonard said, as he walked away and Dacre approached Nycta with a beautiful flower in his hand.
"Thank you, my king, this flower is very beautiful," Nycta gushed and dismissed the other servants. She took the king inside.
Dacre kissed her cheek and led her inside, as Killian followed them. He was the personal guard that Nycta had picked herself. He didn't make a sound and move very smoothly, sometime, Nycta didn't even realize that he was there.
"Is it still painful?" Dacre asked, as he touched her neck lightly.
"No, not really." Nycta blushed when she remembered the night when she was marked. She would be blushing every time the memories flooded back to her mind. She was so happy that the king was very attentive and thoughtful with her.
Her sister, Rimera, must have blissful years when she was alive.
Nycta felt bad because she was a little bit happy that her sister died without a child, because if it was not for that, she wouldn't be in this position and have the king for herself.
"In that case, I will visit you again tonight."
Nycta lowered her head and bit her lip to suppress her smile.

'Do you really think he will touch you? Have you forgotten that I have touched every inch of your body.
I was the one, who have kissed you, took your virginity and many more.'
Xaden was sitting across from Zuri inside the moving carriage. It had been a week and Zuri was in dire need for her medicine, as she kept seeing them.
It was getting hard for her to differentiate what was real and what was not at this point. Xaden and her mother kept appearing before her eyes whenever she was alone, but even when she was surrounded by many people, Zuri would still see them occasionally.
It was some kind of torture for her.
The alpha shifted his attention back to Zuri, who was trembling, he could smell blood from
her.
"You are hurt," Khaos stated, he took her hand and saw the blood from her palm, but the wounds had closed and healed. "What's going on?"
Khaos had noticed Zuri acted a little bit off recently, but he couldn't tell what was going on with her. She would look agitated for no reason, as if something bothering her. Her eyes would wander, as though she was looking for someone.
Zuri didn't answer the question, she simply lowered her head and stared at her hand. She didn't even realize when Khaos helped her to get off the carriage and led her to a river stream.
Seeing the river stream, she felt disgusted, it almost felt like she heard Xaden's voice in her head, reminding her of how they had sex in the river stream back in the Blackthorne pack.
But, Zuri also realized another thing.
"This is not the way to go to River Creek pack." Zuri looked around her, while Khaos cleaned
her hands.
