A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 257: THE COMPLETION OF THE BEAUTY BLOOD (6)

For Logan, Rose still felt off. Sometime, she felt genuine with her intention, but other time, she would prove to you of how cunning she could be.

And Logan knew for sure someone like that couldn’t have any genuine intention.

But they slowly built this mate bond between them. She showed effort to work on this relationship and Logan appreciated that.

Even though, it was still difficult for Logan to stand his ground. Rose was brilliant, all of her ideas were sound, which made Logan mostly agreed to it, but in retrospect, he couldn’t understand why people started to say that it was actually the queen, who ruled the kingdom, instead of the king.

Because that was what happened. Rose always managed to convince him to do something and see thing from her perspective.

"The lycan king will punish him," Rose said softly, she approached Logan and took his hand. She could feel his heated gaze on her neck.

"What do you mean?" Logan narrowed his eyes. He didn’t understand why she said something like that.

"Bryden has committed a great crime against the lycan king." And when Rose saw Logan still couldn’t get the meaning behind it, she then explained the thing that happened.

"Beauty blood..." Logan muttered. "What is the ultimate power of the lycan?" he asked curiously.

He didn’t know much about the lycan dynasty, since he was born two years after the massacre of the old dynasty and after that, the lycan history had been fabricated, there were not much you could find about the information of the lycan.

However, Logan have heard about the ritual from the old dynasty, but not about the beauty blood.

"I am not sure." Rose leaned over and rested her face against Logan’s chest, she hugged him and it felt very natural. "But, from what Terrrence family knew, it’s something powerful, but also dark. After all, the beauty blood is created by inflicting curses on someone, a few dark magic users would be responsible for the ritual."

Rose stared at the distance, she breathed in his scent, while Logan caressed her back, playing with her hair.

Logan liked their conversation. He liked her ideas and her view of the world, but at the same time, he started to hate the fact that he followed all of her advice when he was supposed to be the decision maker.

"The lycan will punish Bryden. I don’t know how severe the punishment will be, but it is best if we don’t associate with him for a while. This is for our best interest. In his rage, the lycan could kill us too."

Actually, Rose was not completely wrong. She read the situation well. She had seen first hand how much the lycan cared about Zuri, even before he had the union with her.

She also knew why Caiden was stripped from his position and it was Gayle, who became Khaos’s gamma.

"Bryden is done for..." Rose said in low voice.

***

Sometimes hope could be also the cruelest form of feeling in this world, because while at dire moment hope could be the strength for you to keep going on with life, but in Khaos case right now, hope was actually what killed him inside.

After he killed all the warriors, who came to the Great Palace and stained the ground with their blood, as he didn’t care whether it was a friend or a foe, Khaos stared at his mate.

Zuri’s body was still warm, she was still breathing, but no matter what Khaos did, she would never wake up.

Khaos nuzzled her face. He caressed her cheek with the tip of his nose, along her jawline, yet she didn’t give any response. He kissed her cheek, but her head would tilt to the side, as if lifelessly.

At first, Khaos didn’t know what sound it was, but after a moment he realized the sound came from him, he was whimpering. He was in so much pain, the beast within him was in so much agony.

Not because of the severed mate bond, but because he knew this hollow in his chest would be something that lasted forever if Zuri didn’t wake up.

Khaos held Zuri’s body carefully as if he could harm her if he used too much pressure. He was so different from the lycan, who had killed so many warriors.

He looked broken.

The shadow around his body shuddered and spread widely on the ground or on the walls. It looked like a feral creature, thousand creatures.

There was one thing that the shadow wanted, it was to kill more. It wasn’t enough for it to kill all the warriors there. It wanted more, and Khaos needed to reign it, the bloodlust from this dark creature, the shadow that came from the darkness.

However, right now, Khaos was not in his right mind. He couldn’t care less of how many people he had killed, because in the end of the day, even though he managed to get back the ultimate power, he would never get her back.

The shadow spread around him like a cloak and then shattered, but a moment later, it would appear again.

From the look of it, Khaos didn’t seem to have fully control over the shadow, but then it was still not sure whether he couldn’t do it or he simply didn’t want to do it.

In the end, Khaos held Zuri’s body and carried her toward the gates. He was going to get the other eight of the magic users, who were still alive. They might know something.

The darkness followed him, as he walked and then it covered him like blanket before he disappeared from the sight.

There was nothing there, but an empty palace and a thousand warriors from Great Lunar kingdom that marched toward the Great Palace.

Somehow, the other kingdom learned about what happened here and they decided to have the confrontation, but aside from bloody scene and dead bodies on the floor, they couldn’t find anything.

The lycan had left with his mate.

Khaos didn’t leave for Bryden, he went to find Dezgar first.

The current leader of the magic users was in the tent a few miles away from the Great Palace with Gayle and a few joined warriors from Wolfdale kingdom.

"My great lycan!" Dezgar startled when he saw Khaos. He didn’t expect to see him inside his tent when no one saw him stepped inside.

"Check on her."

Khaos stepped aside and revealed Zuri, who was already laying on the makeshift bed.

Dezgar could feel the ominous feeling came from the lycan, not to mention the shadow that flared around him looked very threatening. It looked like an angry creature that needed to be leashed, but then how could you restrain the darkness?

He knew that the beauty blood had been completed and this must be the ultimate power that people were talking about.

Something had changed. One more thing that was very clear here was Khaos’s eyes. His eyes were no longer the color of grey. His eyes were the color of blood. They were red.

"Someone poisoned her."

Dezgar took a tentative step to approach Zuri, but he was warried of the shadow that surrounded the tent. The closer he got, the more he felt suffocated, as if the air had been sucked out of this tent.

"Her time has been stopped," Dezgar finally said after he checked on Zuri. He basically repeated what the other magic user had told Khaos. "If we wake her up, she will die..."

"Do something."

Dezgar could feel the shadow became thicker. This creature from the darkness became even more threatening. He felt like it could cut his head any time.

"I... I will try to find a solution..."

"How long?"

Even his voice was different. He sounded more aloof and colder, every word that came from his mouth sounded like a threat. The temperature dropped in the tent, Dezgar started shivering, whether it was because of the killing intent that emitted in the air or it was because of his strong presence, or it might be both.

No one would want to be the receiving end of his wrath.

"I am..." Dezgar gulped down. He was trembling. "I am not sure."

"Be sure about that. I want the answer when I returned."

Suddenly, the shadow that crawled on the tent disappeared and the tension dissipated. Dezgar turned around and he couldn’t see the lycan anymore. He had gone. Vanished into thin air.

Dezgar was dumbstruck, not even the most powerful magic user could do such thing.

Not long after that, Gayle entered the tent and found Zuri was there. "How she could be here?"

"Don’t touch her," Dezgar said. He took a step to block Gayle, which only confused the gamma.

"Why?"

"Because if something happened to her..." Dezgar shook his head, as he corrected his words. "If her condition is getting worse, we are going to hell." He was still dreading the feeling of Khaos’s presence.

"What do you mean with that?" Gayle couldn’t understand. He looked around the tent. If Zuri was here, Khaos should be here too, right? "Where is Khaos?"

***

"Khaos?" Bryden was startled when he saw Khaos at the end of the hallway. He almost couldn’t recognize him.

The hallway was rather dark, but Bryden still could make out his figure in the distance. He hastened his pace to approach him, but suddenly, he couldn’t move his legs, it felt like something had restrained him.

It started with his legs, his arms and then his entire body.
