A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: THE WINTER IS OVER

The way Zuri was speaking to her made her blood boiled. Rose could sense it. The luna was mocking her openly. She didn’t even try to be subtle about it.

But, Rose wouldn’t take the bait so easily. She had gone through worse than this. A little luna like Zuri meant nothing to her.

"Thank you so much, luna Zuri." Rose took the pack of meat and gave Zuri a warm smile. "I know that you will be back, but I hope next time you disappeared, you will inform your people about your whereabouts, so there would be no false assumption."

"If their loyalty is so easily swayed just because they heard a few bad rumors about me and because I didn’t explain my action in detail, then I don’t want them. Trust is mutual."

"In my opinion, you should have explained... they will not understand, if you didn’t say anything."

"They are the subject of the alpha, but if the pack member couldn’t even respect their alpha, what else you could expect from them? There are a lot of things that couldn’t be discussed in public, you know that. There is what you called as a secret plan, something that you shouldn’t share in public. If we told them about where we were going, do you think we can manage to get this food supply?"

Zuri made them assumed that her disappearance was part of the secret plan to get the food supply, though the reality was not like that.

"I can understand..."

"Thank you for your understanding," Zuri cut her off. "I am glad, I don’t need to educate you more than this. Thank you for entertaining my people here while I was away to get the food supply and now I am so exhausted, I will take my leave first. I hope you continue to take care of them." Zuri grinned at Rose and patted her shoulder when she was about to talk again.

Zuri was already walking away when Rose wanted to keep this conversation going on.

The luna’s word was powerful enough that made all the people around them fell silent, they were embarrassed for the way they talked about Zuri in the past few weeks when she disappeared. They lowered their heads and acted very polite to Zuri after that.

And with the supply was already here, they were going to be able to pass the winter smoothly...

"I want to see the king! Open the door! Open the door!" Nycta banged her fists against the wooden door, she had been locked up inside her bedroom for a week ever since Dacre returned. She didn’t know what was going on out there, but she knew Dacre was already here.

At first, she thought, he was going to see her, he was going to ask her, interrogating her about why she did what she had done with Killian. She was ready to answer all the question.

However, to her surprised, Dacre didn’t come. He didn’t come to visit her at all. If there was no visit, there was no question, which meant, Nycta couldn’t tell Dacre her reason and this ate her alive. She needed him to hear her explanation.

"I want the king! Open this damn door!" Nycta was so angry she was crying. She had refused to eat since yesterday and it could a danger for her and the baby. Dacre should be here by now.

But, little did she know, her scandal with Killian had spread wide and nasty. People talked, and once people talked, you knew there was no stopping it.

The elders demanded the king’s explanation.

"The queen is pregnant with Killian’s baby, her own personal warrior."
