A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 19: PRINCE KHAOS

Khaos.

He was the second child of the previous king from the second queen. Dacre and Xaden's

mother died nineteen years ago and the following year, their king father made Khaos' mother the queen.

From what Zuri heard, he was sent to guard the territory in the Three Deadly Ways as punishment two years ago, because he had committed a heinous crime toward one of the members of River Creek pack, her father's pack.

He would have ended up with a death sentence hanging over him if he was not from the royal family, but instead, he was sent to guard their territory for two long years.

They had met a few times before, but Zuri had never paid close attention to him. It was only now, in this close proximity, that she realized he had gray eyes. The color was so beautiful, especially when the light from the sun reflected off them. Like an array of light that pierced through the mist.

It was so bold of Zuri to stare even a little bit longer than she was allowed, but she snapped back from his captivating gray eyes when she caught him staring at her. The corner of his lips tilted upward, forming a smirk.

Zuri averted her gaze and sat down beside Xaden, she greeted the king and the queen.

Queen Rimera was pregnant, she was due in two months. This was her fifth pregnancy, yet she and the king remained childless, as she had been unable to carry any of her pregnancies to full

term.

She had three miscarriages and one stillbirth.

Somehow, Zuri could see her own future looking at her. In less than half a year of her union with Xaden, she already had one miscarriage.

"I will take my leave now," Khaos said, as he stood up. His voice was heavy and deep and this caught Zuri's attention again. She had tuned out of the small talk that had been going on until a moment ago, as it was merely exchanging pleasantries with no real issues being discussed.

Men wouldn't talk about important things in front of women.

"You don't need to leave in such a hurry, the Three Deadly Ways will always be there," Xaden jabbed.

Zuri couldn't gauge the relationship between him and Khaos. She couldn't draw a conclusion from this short interaction.

"I am not going back until winter," Khaos said, he stood up and walked over to approach... Zuri. She was stunned when he stopped right behind her chair. "But, I will pay you a visit, brother."

Khaos stretched out his hand and out of instinct, Zuri stood up and gave him hers, then saw how he kissed the back of her hand.

It was not something inappropriate, it was a way to greet a lady. There was nothing obnoxious about it, but Zuri could feel Xaden's heated gaze on her hand that was kissed by Khaos.

"Nice to meet you, Luna Zuri." Khaos smiled at her, but she felt like he was taunting her. Or, it was just in her mind. "Welcome to the family."

"Thank you, Prince Khaos." Her voice was small, laced with confusion.

"I will see you soon."

This time, Xaden stood up, but Khaos had let go of Zuri's hand and then walked away.

"He pisses me off," Xaden growled, as he sat down and glared at Zuri to sit down too. "Can't you do something about his punishment? Two years is not enough. He should have been sent away out of the continent."

When Xaden started arguing with his brother about Khaos' punishment, the man walked further and further away, but he threw a quick glance over his shoulder to look at that woman once again. His expression was cold.

Halfway to the palace, a young man around the age of twenty five approached him. He scrunched his nose.

"Do you remember Shawn from River Creek pack? Bald head, old, ugly, tiny cock?"

He resumed walking, as Caiden jogged beside him. "I remember Shawn, but I don't remember his cock."

He was Caiden, Khaos' third in command. He always had a weird way to describe someone, but at this point, Khaos was already immune to his quirks.

"Well, we got him. We caught him when he was about to cross Mount Eve to go to the Wolfdale kingdom."

"Good." Khaos hastened his pace. A carriage had been waiting for them to take them to his residence.

"I am sorry, I need to leave," Queen Rimera said, as she stood up with the help of her two maids. "I am a little bit dizzy under the sunlight."

Zuri stood up as well. "You need to get some rest, my queen."

"I should stay with you," she said weakly, her face pale, as white as her dress. She was a lovely woman, weak and fragile, just perfect.

"There is no need for that, my queen, I will enjoy the scenery here while waiting for Alpha

Xaden to return."

Queen Rimera smiled. "You are free to walk around."

"Thank you for your consideration."

Xaden and King Dacre had left an hour ago to discuss something private, leaving the women

to enjoy the scenic garden filled with flowers and sip tea.

After Queen Rimera left, Zuri stayed there for another three hours, but Xaden didn't return. In the end, she decided to walk around the garden and venture further outside of the king palace.

She was walking on the sideroad when she saw a white wolf under a tree. She had never seen a white wolf before and her curiosity got the best of her when she approached the wolf.

The creature was bigger than a normal wolf. Its white fur looked majestic.

"You look even more beautiful than me when I am in my wolf form," Zuri talked to herself as

she stretched out her hand to touch the wolf's head.

"If I were you, I would not touch him."

Zuri was startled, she stood up and turned around to find a pair of gray eyes staring back at

her. "Prince Khaos?" She didn't notice his presence.

He tilted his head and smiled.
