One thousand seven hundred sixty three.
It was the number of people, who had died during the attempt to gain beauty blood. The only success case was the attempt that the first lycan did. Therefore, this kind of power became a myth.
The scriptures only recorded the last twenty eight people that died during the attempt. They called these people as 'shell' and the attempt started when they were little, around eight to ten years old.
Some of them died during the first year, some lived for five years, but the last one managed to reach twenty one years old, yet after that there was no more record about it.
"What happened with the last shell?" Khaos finally lifted his head to ask Rhett, by this time, Caiden had fallen asleep. The gamma was bored to death. He hugged himself and snored softly.
"The war." Rhett stood up. He looked a little bit better now. "It was not written in the scriptures, but there are other notes about what happened. It said that the last shell should be a succeed if only the massacre didn't happen, since she last for so long."
Twenty one years old.
"Zuri is a shell."
That was not a question, but a statement and Rhett admitted that. "Everything will be completed in a year from now."
"How many curses you have put on her?" Khaos concealed his emotions so well when everything did make sense now.
"Seventy seven. It left her with twenty three more to complete the beauty blood."
Even though the name was pretty, but there was nothing beautiful about it. It was brutal to say the least. That was why there were so many people died during the process.
Beauty blood should be nurtured because the shell had to endure a hundred variation of curses. They didn't give the shell a hundred curses at once, obviously, but they would give them every once or twice a month in order to practice their tolerance against the curse. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Sometime, they would put two curses at the same time when they thought the shell was strong enough to handle it.
And once the shell completed a hundred curses, it was the time, you could harvest the beauty blood, their blood, to open the lycan legacy and obtain the greatest power of the lycan.
In Zuri's case, she still needed twenty three more curses to go before it was completed.
"The notes about the last shell are a breakthrough for this attempt and now the beauty blood is almost ready. If only Zuri can endure a curse every two weeks, you can harvest the beauty blood within a year."
The medicine that Zuri had been consuming all this time was a medicine to 'tame' the curses within her so she wouldn't have a backlash from all the curses. It was necessary to keep her alive, since you wouldn't get the beauty blood if the shell died.
All the trips that Zuri had with Rhett, all of their sneaked out from the pack, it was for him to put the curses on her every month, but ever since she was away to be mated with alpha Xaden, everything had to be halted.
