A Mate For The Last Lycan
Chapter 149: LEAVE, ZURI.

Chapter 149: LEAVE, ZURI.

Elijah lost around fifty five magic users in the first battle with the royal warriors and only now, he lost another nine magic users.

Magic user was hard to come to, especially in this continent, therefore, losing sixty four of them was a great number for Elijah. It was alarming. They couldn’t lose the magic user anymore, since he needed at least, fifteen magic users to perform the curse on Zuri.

There was one thing that kept bothering Elijah though. The fact that Khaos didn’t do anything to stop Zuri when he could and chose to wait for her to kill nine of the magic users before Rhett and Bryden stopped her, didn’t sit well with Elijah.

There was only one reason for that;

Khaos wanted to reduce the cult’s power.

"That’s nonsense," Rhett said. He frowned when Elijah took him to the side and tell him what he was thinking. "What the reason for him to want to reduce our power? Our power is his power too and he knows that. That’s ridiculous."

"It’s because he doesn’t trust us," Elijah said. "I don’t think he already trusted us."

"Then we need to do more to gain his trust."

And that was the end of the conversation. They stared at the closed door, where Bryden was standing next to it. He was worried, but he couldn’t hear anything from inside, all he could smell was the metallic scent of blood.

If only the strong scent of the magic users’ blood was not in the air, the beta must be able to smell Khaos’s blood because the alpha was also bleeding right now.

Zuri attacked him. The spell that kept her in her human form had faded and now her claws elongated. She stabbed him on his right shoulder.

Her eyes looked crazy. Her gaze flickered between anger and confusion back to sadness.

"I don’t want to be hurt anymore," Zuri said. The sadness lingered and her tears streamed down her cheek. Her claws still embedded deeply on Khaos’s right shoulder.

However, Khaos didn’t even flinch. The pain seemingly didn’t bother him, as if he couldn’t feel the pain. As if the pain was nothing...

"You will no longer be in pain once the beauty blood is completed," Khaos replied. He didn’t move, he didn’t even try to dodge the attack even when he could.

"No." Zuri shook her head. "That’s too painful. I don’t want to go through that again."

This was the reason why they erased her memories about the pain of the ritual. Rhett had warned her about this before, but Zuri insisted to keep her memory, more so, they didn’t have time to erase it when the rope snapped and she started her killing spree.

"There is only one option for you not to be in pain anymore." Khaos caressed her cheek, he wiped the blood from her face, though it didn’t do much, since Zuri was literally covered in blood. "You need to leave."

Zuri took a step back, she retracted her claws and blood oozed out from the wound, still Khaos didn’t give any indication that he was in pain.

"What do you mean?"

"Caiden didn’t go immediately to Great Lunar kingdom. He is in the pier with Shadow. There is a ship that’s ready to take you away from this continent. You will find everything that you need there. Go and start a new life away from this continent. Go as far away as possible until even me, couldn’t find you again."

Zuri had made a plan for Caiden to go to Wolfdale kingdom in order to make the first step to get the Verity stamp, she thought he went there, but apparently Khaos had different plan.

Zuri was startled when she heard that. Her body was in pain, but her mind was clear. The voices in her head grew quiet after she fed them with the blood from the magic users. After she let go of her control and followed what they told her to do. They would grow quiet for a while. Satisfied to turn her into a crazy person... a monster, a murderer even.

"Go and don’t come back."

This was the only way for Zuri to entangle herself from this messy situation. Everything was ready for her. She only needed to go to the pier.

"The water is frozen."

Zuri didn’t know why, but she made an excuse for herself. She didn’t expect him to tell her to go. If she could be honest, it hurt her.

"It’s a big ship. It can go through the frozen water and the winter is almost over."

"I don’t know where to go."

"You are smart, Zuri. You can figure it out."

Zuri pressed her lips. "Do you want me to go?" She felt this strong sense of abandonment. The questions started in her head. Was she no longer useful anymore?

No. They hurt her. She needed to leave. She needed to get away from this madness. But...

Khaos seemed to know what was in her mind. "What you feel toward me right now is an attachment, Zuri. You know that. I have explained about it to you." He came closer to her and patted her head the way she liked it. "You don’t need to stay. Now you can choose your own life."

Did she want to choose?

She was angry because she was in pain. When they put the curse on her, she felt like she was being that helpless girl again. The little girl, who was being abused by her own father, bullied by her brother and recently she learned that she was betrayed by the only brother, who she thought cared about her.

Khaos was right. This was only a simple attachment...

"You have gone through the rejection, when the mate bond severed between you and Xaden. You can go through this."

Zuri didn’t say anything, she stared at Khaos’s grey eyes. Her favorite color and he leaned over to press his forehead against hers.

"Leave, Zuri."
