Bryden observed the woman before him. Zuri looked different, she became slightly brazen and reckless, but you could see the wickedness in her eyes.
He was worried about her and Khaos, because the alpha seemed to be infatuated, especially after he marked her.
It had been proven that Zuri could influence Khaos’s decision and she could be as cunning as Khaos if she was in her right state of mind.
"That’s not a betrayal," Bryden said stubbornly, he was glaring at Zuri. He was not a traitor. He wouldn’t be a traitor. He had done everything that he could to reach this goal. This revenge didn’t only belong to Khaos, but also him.
His parents were killed during the massacre too, they died protecting the old dynasty and it would be an insult for their memories if he became a traitor for his own kingdom.
"You can call it whatever." Zuri waved her hand, she didn’t care much about the detail. "You can take this chance to atone for your sin, or you can meet us in the gallows tomorrow. Your choice." Zuri took two steps back and stood next to Khaos. "Oh, should I say that you will not be able to meet with your child? You already missed the birth of your firstborn. Don’t you want to see him? At least, saying goodbye to your mate and son?" Zuri tilted her head, she looked very relax, as if she was talking about the weather.
This was not the first time Bryden caused trouble for Khaos. A few years ago, he killed one of the elders in River Creek pack to rescue his destined mate.
The beta didn’t think about the consequences, where it was Khaos, who had to pay the price. The alpha was sent to Three Deadly Ways for years as the punishment, as people thought Khaos was the one, who had killed the elder, because if it was known that it was Bryden, who had killed the elder, he would have been given a death sentence.
And now, the same thing happened again. He really learned nothing from his mistake. Keeping someone like him could be dangerous, yet he is still useful.
Probably all the curses that inflicted her finally turned her heart cold. Zuri saw them as object, which only valuable if they were useful to her, the same treatment that she got almost her whole life.
Rhett’s presence didn’t bother her anymore, he was useful to control the cult and the cult was useful for Khaos to reach his goal, especially at time like this.
"Alpha." Bryden looked at Khaos, as if asking the alpha to talk sense to this woman, but instead he agreed with her, actually, it was not even a surprise.
Khaos mindlinked two warriors to enter the room. "You will think of your decision in the dungeon."
When he was dragged away, he watched in disbelieve of how Khaos had agreed with Zuri. He was going to kill him. He knew that he had created a great mistake, he screwed up their big plan, but the shock rendered him stubborn to admit that.
"It will be faster for us to complete the beauty blood right away," Rhett suggested, he didn’t meet with Zuri’s eyes when he said that. "We have everything that we need and you can reach the lycan’s ultimate power with them."
