A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: AN IMPULSIVE PUNISHMENT

The question startled Caiden and Bryden, both of them immediately stood up, as the alpha entered the room. His eyes fixed on his gamma, who avoided his gaze because he felt guilty.

"Why she was there with your father?" Khaos repeated the question, he approached the two of them and Bryden could sense this wouldn’t end well for Caiden. The gamma had confessed everything to him and no matter how you saw it, Caiden was in the wrong.

"Khaos, calm down," Bryden said, he put himself between Caiden and the alpha. "You need to understand the situation."

"Answer me, gamma."

You would know the anger that Khaos held back when he called Caiden with his title instead of his name, putting a distance between them and this made Caiden flinched.

The tension grew stronger inside the room.

"I am sorry, I am wrong," Caiden admitted his mistake, he knelt down, showing his submission.

"Your apology didn’t answer my question," Khaos stated coldly. He shoved Bryden to the side. The gamma was within his arm reach now.

"I..." Caiden couldn’t tell him the truth because it meant he would sell out his father. He knew that he was in the wrong. He also didn’t have any idea what his father said to Zuri to trigger her, but he couldn’t put his father in the wrath of the lycan.

Knowing that, it was Bryden, who answered Khaos’s question.

"Ezra asked him to bring Zuri to him."

’Asking’ was a nice word to put in, because the right word was; Ezra had pressured Caiden to bring Zuri without the alpha’s knowledge to him, because he wanted to have a private conversation with her and the gamma thought what harm could happen from a simple conversation?

"Khaos, you need to understand that Ezra is still his father."

"If he listened to his father more than he listened to his alpha, probably he needs to step down from his position," Khaos said darkly and he meant it.

He didn’t need someone, who would defy his order blatantly. The position of beta and gamma were not a position that you could take lightly. You devoted your life to your alpha, your loyalty was on your alpha only, not to your family. Bryden and Caiden should have known this.

"Khaos, this is only a mishap of judgement." It was Bryden again, who tried to calm the alpha down, while Caiden lowered his head. "Please, can we talk about this later? He is still distraught because his father almost died."

Once again, Khaos ignored Bryden. His question was directed to his gamma. "What your father said to Zuri that triggered her?"

"I don’t know," Caiden replied in small voice. "My father told me to walk away, so I didn’t hear their conversation, but I was nearby when he mindlinked me frantically. I could feel the pain through the bond and I know there was something wrong."

Caiden told him everything that he knew.

The relationship between Caiden and his father were not a smooth sailing. Both Khaos and Bryden knew how much Ezra put pressure and expectation on Caiden, since he was the first born.
