A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11: THE COUP

Roland's face twisted. He didn't appreciate the way Zuri talked to him and gripped her hair even harder, which made her close her eyes in pain, but she was too stubborn to make a sound. She took a deep breath and fixed her expression, pretending that she was fine when she opened her eyes again and met her father's eyes through the mirror's reflection.

"What task?" Zuri asked coldly. She thought that moving to the Blackthorne pack would allow her to escape her father's clutches, but it seemed his claws were embedded too deeply for her to get away.

Roland's hand relaxed against her hair, he tied her hair up and brushed it gently this time, but he didn't immediately answer her question, instead he talked about an entirely different matter.

"You will be the one to deliver the punishment to that omega." Roland lifted his head and looked at his daughter. "You can do whatever to your heart's content."

"I am afraid Alpha Xaden will not agree to that." Zuri stopped herself before she scoffed. She had pushed her father too far two days ago when she learned about her miscarriage, but now, when her mind was clearer, she knew it had been really silly for her to let her emotions and rage get the best of her. "She is still his destined mate."

"He had rejected her."

"I rejected him too." Zuri reminded him. "And that omega still lives in this pack."

"You can ban her." Roland braided her long hair. "Alpha Xaden agreed that you would be the one to deliver the punishment."

This was news to Zuri. She raised her brows, silently asking for an explanation, but her father provided her with none.

"Chase her out of this pack, so there won't be any more problems like this in the future." He patted her head and then walked to lean his back against her boudoir. "You have to try for another child again as soon as possible." _{freёweɓnovel.com}

He didn't even feel sad for Zuri's miscarriage, if there was sadness, it must be because he needed the baby to accomplish his plan and now that Zuri lost it, it set his plan back.

"What do you want from me?" Zuri wanted him to talk straight to the point, so she could be done with it quickly. She didn't want to talk about the baby. It felt so weird. The time between learning she was pregnant and losing the baby was too short. She was upset, but not nearly close to a mother, who lost their child.

It was only... uncomfortable to talk about the topic.

"Let's not waste our time and get straight to the point." Zuri stood up to be at eye level with her father, who had his back leaning against her boudoir. "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to spy on your mate. I want you to report everything that he is doing, no matter how small a detail it is."

"I thought you two are on good terms, why do you need me to spy on him?" Zuri narrowed her eyes. There was no such thing as a good relationship. They formed one because of the benefits that they could get from one another. "What do you mean by you will put me in the highest place?"

That piece of information didn't go unnoticed by Zuri.

"You will become the queen of this kingdom."

Zuri's eyes widened in shock. "Father! That's treason!" She hissed and looked around, afraid someone could be eavesdropping on their conversation. "You can't talk about that carelessly!" She lowered her voice, but her tone was harsh.
