A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: SHE IS STILL MY DAUGHTER

"You don't need to worry, it will not happen again," Xaden said, dismissing the topic, but Roland was not willing to brush it off yet.

"I want compensation for this. People will talk and I don't want them to ruin my pack and my daughter's reputation for a moment of your weakness." Roland saw the rage flashing in Xaden's brown eyes. No alpha would be thrilled to be called weak even if it was just for a moment. He got on his nerves. "You can do better than displaying your infidelity in public."

"Just like how you hide your affairs and naively think your mate didn't know any better?" Xaden smiled, because he got back at him. "You are not so naïve as to think your mate is oblivious to it all, right?"

"She is content with the life I gave her. She didn't have anything to complain about." Roland wouldn't be in his position right now if just a few words from this young Alpha could falter him, he was better than that. "Maybe I can teach you a lesson or two on how to satisfy your own mate, so she won't have any complaints."

Xaden clenched his jaw. He threw a dagger look at Roland. His grip on the quill in his hand tightened. He was going to snap it into two, but a second later, his fingers loosened up. This was not a battle he wanted to fight.

"I will punish the omega," he said finally. "She will not be your daughter's problem anymore." He nodded in agreement. He needed Roland and his pack, especially his pack's wealth for his plan. He was not going to ruin that over something as trivial as women fighting over him.

"Good. I want my daughter to have the satisfaction of watching it happen." Roland would make sure that Xaden wouldn't go soft on that woman, just because she was his destined mate. Whatever remained between them wouldn't make him as ruthless as he was with his enemies. "I want my daughter to be the one to deliver the punishment. After all, she was the one who got hurt because of this."

"Since when do you care about your daughter, Roland?" Xaden's voice was cold and calculating.

"She is my daughter, of course, I care about her. Even when other people couldn't see that."

Xaden couldn't tell whether Roland was telling the truth or not. He could lie to add value to Zuri, making it look like he gave something precious to him, thus he could ask for more than he deserved in their dealings later on.

No one could be sure when it came to scheming and manipulation; even a friend today could be a foe tomorrow.

"Fine. She can do whatever she wants to her," Xaden agreed. The more he denied Roland, the more he would learn something he didn't need to know. He wouldn't let Faye become his weakness. He would deal with Zuri later. "Now, let's discuss the main problem why we are here."

Roland nodded gracefully, he crossed his arms and leaned his back, looking all relaxed. "Let's start with the information I obtained from the Three Deadly Ways."

Three Deadly Ways was a place where the three kingdoms met. The expansive terrain where the lycan's great palace once stood. It was a disputed land.

None of the three kingdoms wanted to back down in claiming the area as their own.

Thirty years ago, the three kingdoms were united under the lycan's empire. The lycan dynasty ruled this continent.
