A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 260: YOU ARE SAFE NOW

Khaos used to be scary, but right now it was very different. It was different type of fear that he exuded.

The way he moved, it almost looked like he didn’t even touch the ground, as he headed toward Zuri.

Zuri was still sleeping, her condition was still the same, just like the last time Khaos saw her. The lycan sat down on the edge of the makeshift bed. He caressed her cheek, her hair and leaned over to kiss her forehead.

Her body was still warm, yet she didn’t wake up. There was no sign of life in her, aside from the way her chest undulated slowly. The only proof that she was still breathing, but aside from that, she was as good as dead.

"Where is Dezgar?"

Gayle immediately approached Khaos. He stopped himself before he could get closer to him because something about Khaos made him scared. "I will, I will call Dezgar right away," he said.

The gamma immediately went out to find the magic user.

Meanwhile, Khaos didn’t even take his eyes off Zuri. His grey eyes had turned red now, yet his hard gaze softened when he stared at his mate.

Gayle finally returned with Dezgar a minute later. The magic user was panting, as he had to run, so he wouldn’t make Khaos waiting for him just in case it would anger him more, especially when he already saw Zuri’s condition.

However, he actually had a good news for Khaos. On the other hand, the lycan still had his eyes on his mate. He didn’t look away.

"She is still the same," Khaos stated, plain and simple. "I told you to do something."

Hearing that, Dezgar immediately explained himself about how the poison had spread on her body before the previous magic users stopped her time and let her fell into a deep sleep. Dezgar explained about it to Khaos.

"But, I have a good news, there is a way to fix this. There is a way to help her."

"And why she is still not yet awake?"

Dezgar gritted his teeth. He would never recommend this method, but this was the only solution he could think of. "But this will be very cruel for her."

"What is it?" Khaos didn’t have any patience. He only wanted his mate. He wanted her to wake up, opened her eyes. He wanted nothing else but her.

"But there is the repercussion for that, my great lycan." Dezgar shivered when he saw the black shadow that crawled on the tent and the ground, they looked like snakes now and he really had to make an effort to ignore it.

Seeing how Khaos was right now, Dezgar was sure that he would never betray Khaos. At this point, the lycan was too intimidating and frightening.

Whether it was fear or loyalty, Dezgar would always follow Khaos, because he knew the other option would be a straight death.

"What is it?"

Dezgar furrowed his brows slightly, while Gayle glanced at his direction. He knew about the solution that he was going to give Khaos. He still didn’t think that was a solution at all. It would create more trouble later on.

"We can use drug."

There was a slight frown between Khaos’s brows, still he didn’t take his eyes from Zuri.

And then Dezgar explained about what he just discovered. The drug that could preserve Zuri’s condition. Initially, the drug was used as part of ritual in the other continent.

"The drug would give her hallucination, so the poison will not act up. But, in that case, we need to give her drug all the time."

Dezgar looked at Zuri. He knew what she had suffered all this time and for her to succumb to such torture for the rest of her life... it was cruel.

"I can’t make this decision on my own. This will be a lifetime decision. She will suffer. The drug will make her suffer. I cannot make the decision for this, so I need to ask you first, do you want to do it?"

Khaos didn’t say anything for a long while, until Dezgar thought he didn’t hear his explanation, but before he could speak, Khaos did it first.

"Yes, do it, I want you to do it."

Khaos would make Zuri suffered with his decision. But, she would be awake...

***

Zuri felt her body unable to move, she was trapped inside this darkness. Occasionally, she would hear a voice that called her name, but she was not sure, who was that... she had never heard her voice before.

Sometime, the darkness took a shape like water, thus she would feel like she was drowning, but more often than not, she simply felt like she was being trapped inside a forest.

She forgot what the meaning of being alive. She was trapped here.

’Give me your place,’ she said.

’What place?’

"Give me your place and you will be free. You will not feel any pain anymore.’

’How?’

"Give me your body and soul."

Zuri then opened her eyes and she saw herself, crouching down, staring at her with that sharp gaze. This was the same girl she saw when she lost her consciousness the first time.

She could move now, but Zuri couldn’t. She could speak, but Zuri couldn’t.

She took her voice, her face, her appearance, her everything and now she wanted her soul too.

’Give me and you will no longer be in pain...’

***

The first thing that Zuri saw when she opened her eyes was Khaos, he was sitting at the same place for hours, he didn’t move, he didn’t speak, only when he saw there was a movement from Zuri, he gave a reaction that indicating he was not a statue.

"Call Dezgar," Khaos said grimly.

"Where am I?" Zuri asked, she looked around her groggily. She blinked her eyes tiredly and leaned against Khaos’s touch when he cupped her face.

"You are fine now."

"I know. I am glad."
