Since Khaos was the last lycan, it meant he would never find his destined mate, thus his attachment to the Shell was the closest thing to it.
And that was the fact that made Rhett worried the moment Khaos started to show his overprotective side toward Zuri. The lycan was known to be very protective to their mate, to their family. They would never step out of the bond that they created with their other half.
And from the look of it, Khaos unconsciously had created that bond with Zuri. The attachment that they felt for each other helped in that case.
Therefore, when Elijah told Rhett about how Khaos was reluctant for inflicting the curse on Zuri, he knew what would happen if he didn’t intervene.
If they couldn’t talk to Khaos, then the only option was letting Zuri to want it. Rhett knew his sister...
"If you really cared about him, you will make his goal as your mission to achieve too, Zuri." Rhett paused for a while to gauge her reaction and when she didn’t say anything, he continued.
He was going on to tell her about the curses that they wanted to inflict on her. Eight curses in a row, which would leave them with only twelve curses and they hope by the end of spring, they would have perfected the beauty blood.
It would be a tremendous help for Khaos in order to revive the old dynasty.
"The Verity Stamp, the golden stamp, will be in alpha Khaos’s hands too by that time and I am sure of it." Rhett ended his long explanation. He looked at her in the eyes and waited for her reaction.
"I used to think that you love me, Rhett, but I think I have been mistaken all this time. All of your affection to me this whole time is because you wanted to use me. Have you ever genuinely loved me as your sister? Or have I been alone all this time?"
Zuri thought she knew her brother, but as it turned out the person before her was completely someone that she didn’t recognize at all.
’Karma is a bitch! How it feels to be stabbed by someone that you trusted?’
This time, it was her father that appeared out of thin air, he mocked her about how it ran in the family to backstabbing each other.
’This is another life lesson for you my dear daughter. Now you know how it felt to be betrayed by your own blood.’
Alpha laughed merrily, pointing his finger at Zuri, bending his body when he saw the look on her face, chanting the word ’karma, karma...’ over and over again, taunting her.
And Xaden joined him.
And her mother joined them.
"STOP!" Zuri screamed on the top of her lungs, as she shut her eyes closed and covered her ears. She couldn’t see them, but she still could hear their voices in her head and this drove her insane. She was indeed crazy.
