They took her to the Three Deadly Way, the place near the Great Palace, where the last remaining of the lycan dynasty was.
It took Khaos a week to get there from River Creek pack and it irritated him that he had to alternate between shifting into his lycan form or riding a horse when the area was often crossed by people.
The alpha didn’t take a lot of people with him, so they could move faster. Bryden, Dezgar, Rhett and two more warriors.
"Khaos, you are being reckless," Bryden said, he approached the alpha on their fourth day of their journey to the Three Deadly Way. "You need to stop being irrational. I think, it’s best if we let them finish it. If it’s up to you, we will not get the beauty blood at all."
They managed to find Zuri’s whereabouts because Rhett finally opened his mouth. He was not informed about this, but he knew if this would be the completion of the curse for the beauty blood, they would likely perform it in the Great Palace, which was the root of the lycan.
"Khaos, your attachment toward her, clouding your judgment." Bryden shook his head. "Calm down for a while and think again, you will be able to see how reckless you are acting right now.
His beta might be right about it, but Khaos couldn’t care less about that detail. Instead, Khaos shifted into his beast, as they ventured through the forest and the rest of them didn’t have other choice, but to follow him.
Once they were in the Great Palace, Khaos immediately managed to pick Zuri’s scent and found where they held her.
There was this place in the east woods, close to mountain, where there was a cave at the mountain feet, where in the past, the warrior used to use it as a shelter. The cave was not too deep, but it was like a labyrinth.
When they arrived there, the ritual was still on going. You could imagine the pain that Zuri had to go through for days, because they couldn’t finish the curse quickly, since there was not enough magic user to get it done within a few hours like they used to do.
It almost like you were being cut bit by bit to let you bleed until you died.
Zuri was bleeding from the cuts and burns on her skin, where the silver chain restrained her. Before, Khaos disagreed with the use of silver because it would harm her, but right now, they used it on her without any scrupulous.
The first thing that Khaos did was to kill Elijah.
None of them expected this.
They thought, the alpha would only punish the leader of the magic user, not to kill him. But, his wrath had reached the sky.
