A Mate For The Last Lycan

Chapter 125: SANCTITY OF THE MATE BOND



If Caiden and Gayle were ill at ease with Zuri, they didn't show it. Only Khaos, who knew about their concern about her. Thing was complicated with Zuri now.

Not only her status as the widowed of alpha Xaden, who staged a coup against the royal along with her father, but also the fact she was one of the lycan's legacies. She was valuable thing for them and this fact had not been known for all of Khaos's supporter yet.

Some of them were still against him taking her as his mate, despite the king had blessed their union.

"Thrice? That's a nice number." Caiden grinned at Gayle, who threw him a dagger look, but once Zuri and Khaos walked away and out of earshot, both of their expression turned serious. "How is she?"

"She is..." Gayle furrowed his brows, trying to find the right word to say. "The alpha is right, she has a natural killing instinct." He looked uncomfortable. "She can be dangerous. Do you think it is alright to leave her with the alpha? Sometime... I caught her talking to herself."

"She will not harm Khaos," Caiden stated. He didn't know in detail, but he was sure of that. The attachment between the Shell and the lycan would protect Khaos, though it was not like The needed any protection.

However, Gayle's concern was valid. Zuri could have snapped and whatever hallucination she was in, she could accidentally harmed Khaos.

It could be backfired at Khaos too for having Zuri trained and strengthened her. Her natural killing intense was already scary enough, since it was a rare talent and with training she could be lethal.

"I hope the alpha will be able to control her," Gayle said. "She is really a beast even when she is in her human form."

The only reason why Gayle was still able to handle her was because Zuri's condition was still concerning, she was still underweight. Her habit of vomiting made her unable to have her full strength.@@novelbin@@

"I believe Khaos knew what he is doing." Caiden was more worried of Bryden and his father's reaction when they learned about this.

His parents were not a fan of Zuri since the beginning and the beta didn't really like her. In their mind, if Zuri could betray her own mate and her pack, she could do the same to Khaos. They shouldn't associate themselves with someone like her.

They were furious when they learned that Zuri knew about the fact that Khaos was the last lycan, which was understandable.

The sun was almost set when Zuri and Khaos reached the pack house, but instead of going to the dining hall, Zuri took him somewhere else.

"I want to show you my favorite place in this pack house. Come with me."

"I thought you are hungry."

"It will not take long, come on!" Zuri grabbed his hand and then took him to the back of the building, where there was a rusty spiral stairs that would lead you to the attic.

"Before, they used the attic for hawk messengers, but they moved it somewhere else and now the attic is empty." Zuri climbed the stairs happily, which was a rare sight to see recently, thus Khaos didn't object, he followed her to climb the stairs. "It has been a while since the last time I visited this spot. We need to hurry, the sight from there when sunset is incredible."

"Hm. I am seeing an incredible sight from here too."

"Hm?" Zuri turned around and saw Khaos smirked, she was quick enough to realize what he meant.

Because Khaos followed her up the stairs, her butt was actually at his line of sight. The alpha even tilted his head and whistled playfully. Khaos could be ridiculous some time.

"What? It's not like you are going to do anything to me." Zuri rolled her eyes, as she continued. She turned her head to hide her face that had turned red.

If Khaos wouldn't do anything when he saw her naked, he wouldn't do anything to her even when her ass was on his face.

Zuri appreciated the fact, despite his innuendo, he didn't go further than a kiss.

"It's only a matter of time before I do something to you."

"Like what?"

"Put my mark on you."

Zuri stopped climbing the stairs and turned her body around again, she looked at him intently, but Khaos looked so nonchalant like usual.

"We are going to have the union. It's only right if I put my mark on you."

"Tell me, Khaos..." Zuri hesitated. "Am I not desirable?"

It was not easy for her to ask the question, but it had been gnawing in her mind and the voices in her head kept screaming the same thing. She believed that. Because she could see why...

Even she hated her own body, how could someone else liked it?

"You saw me naked, you even bathed me, but you... didn't do anything." Zuri felt her face turned very red. She wanted to stop herself, but she couldn't. The words already left her lips. She could only keep going. "There are only two reasons why... first, because I am not attractive in your eyes or..."

"... Or, I prefer dick?" Khaos laughed when he saw the look on Zuri's face. She wanted to act bold, but she couldn't keep up with her act. "Why don't you consider the third option?"

Zuri chewed the inside of her cheek. "What is the third option?"

"I am an old soul, Zuri." Khaos took her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Let's do it right. The union, the mate ceremony, the mark process and all."

The lycan could be said as the first shifter in this realm, and they were extremely monogamy. They were an old soul, who upheld the sanctity of the mate bond.

Even the attachment between the lycan and the Shell in the past was only a superficial attraction. Something that wouldn't deter them from their own mate.
