A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 211: THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
Chapter 211: THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
The open kitchen was proven effective for the people to tame the nasty rumor that had been spread by the royal about the lycan.
It had been a while, since they got a warm meal, especially when winter came and they couldn’t get enough food supply, therefore, they were very grateful for the free meal, twice a day, this was more than they could hope for, as they expected the worse from the occupation of the lycan’s warriors.
It was understandable, seeing how the royal warriors treated them, it was easy to think the worse for the next one.
"You did a good job," Caiden said, as he sat down next to Zuri, she looked exhausted after she helped with the distribution of food. She learned her mistake in River Creek pack and now she put herself out more as a figure that they could rely on. A luna of the pack.
She felt sick to her stomach because she had to smile often. Her cheeks hurt.
She couldn’t not to smile, because they would think she was angry when in truth that was only her normal facial expression. Fuck. Zuri remembered Rose did that with ease. She didn’t even need to smile all day.
"Thank you," Zuri said tiredly. "Compliment me more, it feels good."
Caiden rolled his eyes when he heard that. "Can’t do that. As an honest and righteous man, I can’t lie." He praised himself instead.
Both of them were sitting under the tree, staring at the civilians, who ate their meals and the children, who pressed their small bodies to their parents, they didn’t even dare to roam around, just like normal children.
Despite Khaos had established the rule here to stop them from fleeing the city and put themselves into more trouble, there was still people, who didn’t trust the alpha and believe on the rumor more.
Two days ago, there was a man, who was trying to kidnap a little girl to sell her out of the city, Khaos’s warriors chased him, retrieved the baby and killed the man. After that, the kidnaping attempt had ceased down significantly.
The cult was rather tame, they didn’t cause trouble and obviously, they couldn’t do anything to her when Khaos keep his eyes close on her.
Just like right now, Khaos was walking toward them once he finished with his meeting, it seemed, he could find him anywhere and this little fact was comforting.
"I think that’s my cue to leave," Caiden said, as he stood up and then walked away.
"How’s your day?" Khaos asked, his body towered above Zuri, making his shadow fell on her, while the glaring sunlight was behind him.
The tree where she was sitting rattled by the wind and its leaves fell on her lap. The wind was gentle, caressing her skin and she found herself staring at the man before her eyes with ridiculous expression.
"My cheeks hurt. I don’t want to smile for a while."
Khaos chuckled when he heard that. Being in public was not the thing that Zuri enjoyed and he knew that. The alpha then sat down beside his woman and pressed her head against his shoulder, so he could rest.
For a comfortable moment, they didn’t say anything and stared at the distance, relishing this quietness between them.
"This will not be the end," Khaos suddenly said. "This kingdom is only the beginning."
"I know." Zuri closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I will be with you until the end. We will see the end of it."
That was right, until Khaos rebuilt the old dynasty and punished those people, who had wronged his family and had the three kingdoms under his reign, he wouldn’t stop.
He needed to avenge so many people, who died three decades ago. Since, this vengeance was not only his.
It might look easy to take control over Celeste kingdom. He didn’t need the ultimate power of the lycan, thus they still could postpone the completion of beauty blood.
However, it wouldn’t last for long.
In the end of the day, Khaos would need that power to establish his dynasty and if it happened, would Zuri survive? She looked fine now, but the completion of the beauty blood was different thing entirely.
And if worse came to worse, would Khaos survive the agony of losing his mate?
A lycan loved fiercely that was why their mate bond could counter the attachment toward the Shell, but what if the Shell was his mate as well?
That was the question that no one could answer.
As the day progressed to weeks and then months, the kingdom crumbled rapidly, right now it was standing in its last leg. The capital city. This was the last defense that Dacre had.
Once the capital city was down, it would be easy to march toward the palace and get to the king, if he didn’t flee first.
Right at that time Khaos’s force was right outside the capital city gates after they took down yet another city, the queen went into a labor.
Nycta had been in so much pain since this morning and she was screaming at anyone, who came close to her. She couldn’t bear the pain. She kept asking for the king. She wanted her Dacre to be there. She wanted her Dacre to hold her hand and stay throughout the whole ordeal.
Dacre could feel the agony that she had to endure. This was not the first time, he was in this position.
"My king, you can’t get inside the room. It’s not appropriate." His officer reminded him, but they should have known that they couldn’t dictate what the king should and shouldn’t do.
"Move, or I will have your head on the spike."
Hearing the threat, the officers stepped back and Dacre entered the room to find Nycta was writhing with pain.
Rimera had gone through so many labors, but neither like this.
"I am here," Dacre said, he held her hand.
"It’s hurt..." Nycta cried.
