A Mate For The Last Lycan

Chapter 120: HAPPY ENDING



Zuri's condition left them with only two options.

First, without increasing the dosage of her medicine, they could only restrain her whenever she had hallucination, the only downside of this option was they would lose her... Zuri would be still alive, but she wouldn't be the same. She would be a shell of herself, most of the time, you needed to protect her from herself.

Because the hallucination would be so bad and as they already knew, the voices in her head were rather violent.

Second, they could increase the dosage, but because her body wouldn't last for long, they needed to inflict more curses on her to speed up the completion of the Beauty Blood, or else a decade of effort would be wasted if she died without completing the Beauty Blood.

The downside of this option would be if Zuri died from the side effect of the curses and had a backlash.@@novelbin@@

"Let's go with the second option," Silas suggested, he stared at Zuri's back. She still clung onto Khaos and trembled, seemingly didn't follow the conversation. "You have found the whereabout of the Golden Stamp, we don't need to wait any longer."

Khaos narrowed his eyes at that statement, yet he didn't say anything aside from telling them to leave the room.

"Alpha, you need to make a quick decision about this." Glinda, the healer, who used to take care of Zuri. She was part of the cult and it was actually Rhett, who arranged the meeting between Luna Karina, Zuri's mother, with her a decade ago when Zuri showed the first symptom of hallucination, as she just inflicted by two curses for the first time.

"Leave."

That was the only command he gave to the healer and when the old woman wanted to explain more about the importance of the situation, Rhett stopped her and nodded toward the door, indicating for her to leave.

This small gesture didn't go unnoticed by Khaos. Despite what they said about them being loyal to the old dynasty, they listened to their leader more than they did Khaos, which was understandable, since they just knew the last lycan's existence in less than a month.

Their true loyalty laid on the cult and its leader.

That was why, Khaos needed to tread this matter carefully. This cult could be his triumph card, but it could be his downfall too, just like a blade with two edges. He could cut himself if he was not careful.

"I want to know the strength of the cult," Khaos suddenly said when Rhett wanted to talk about Zuri. The alpha had heard enough about her, he didn't want them to focus on her and the beauty blood for a while. "Can you prove your worth?"

Rhett's eyes flickered with eagerness when he heard that. "What do you want me to do, alpha?" He knelt down solemnly.

Khaos's grey eyes turned slightly darker when he spoke again. "This will be my first order as the lycan for you to prove your loyalty to me."

Rhett's body shuddered with the intensity, the honor that he felt for this first task. "Yes, I am here to serve you."

"I want you to bring out all the cult member and defend this pack against the royal warrior. As you know, they are here to tarnish my name." Khaos's voice was heavy with domination. He carried the regal aura perfectly. "I want to see the strength that you have."

Rhett raised his head slightly and looked at Khaos in the eyes. "Do you want us to kill them all?"

"You can kill them all?" Khaos didn't expect this. How many members of the cult? What strength did they posses for Rhett to be very comfortable to offer this suggestion?

"Yes, alpha. You can say the word and we will do it."

Khaos fell silence for a while. Their eyes met, but on the surface, their expression was unreadable. "Yes. Kill them all."

"Gladly." Rhett smiled. He then looked at Zuri and asked for permission. "Can I have a word with my sister, alpha?"

"She is not in the condition to talk with anyone," Khaos replied, he then stood up and carried Zuri to the bed to tuck her in. "You can leave now."

Rhett wanted to argue, but then he chose not to. He didn't want to upset him when he just gave him the important task and only started to put his trust in him and the cult.

And once Rhett left the room, Zuri opened her eyes, she grabbed Khaos's hand, her eyes dilated. "Don't leave me alone."

"I will not." Khaos laid down next to her and hugged her closely.

"Are you real? Or are you part of my hallucination?"

Khaos pressed his lips against her forehead. "I am real."

"They are right, Khaos." Zuri sighed when she felt the kiss, she closed her eyes. "They are right when they said I am crazy. The hallucination becomes vivid and the voices are getting loud in my head."

"Are the voices talking to you right now?"

Zuri shook her head. "They are calm whenever I am with you." She took his hand and placed it

on her cheek. "At least, when I am with you, they are not screaming at me."

"Good."

There was silence between them, until Zuri asked the inevitable. "What is beauty blood?" She

bit her lip when she mentioned Rhett. "Is that true that... my brother has been inflicting curses

on me?"

Khaos didn't answer her question immediately. He looked at her right in the eyes. "Do you want to know the truth?"

This was her body, people had been lying to her and use her for years, while hiding the truth

and Khaos didn't want to start in the same way. If she was going to go through all of the sufferings, at the very least, she deserved to know the truth.

"Yes. Tell me everything."

"There is no happy ending in this story."

"I don't expect one."
