A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21: YOU FORCED ME TO HURT YOU

"Never meet with him again!" Xaden enunciated every word he said. "Never interact with him."

Zuri didn't say anything, she stared out of the window of the carriage, as they went back to Blackthorne pack. Ignored by her, Xaden felt pissed off.

"Do you hear me?"

"Loud and clear."

The carriage was spacious and they sat opposite each other, but the distance between them felt vast.

"What have you talked to him about?" Xaden asked, he was impatient. He felt this murderous intention from Khaos when he kissed Zuri in front of him. He didn't expect that.

Despite it lasting for just a few seconds and when he was done with his mate and looked at the man, there was no trace of it, he had still felt it. He knew how it felt when a predator stalked its prey.

"Nothing."

Xaden was at the end of his patience. He stretched his hand and pinched Zuri's chin, forcing her to look at him. His mate was glaring at him, she tried to swat his hand away, but he grabbed her hand and changed seats. Now, he was sitting next to her.

"You have talked with him for so long and all you can say is nothing?" he raised his brows.

Instead of being scared, Zuri chuckled. His claws grazed her skin, embedded into her wrist, but this pain was nothing. "I thought we would mind our own business?" She raised her brow. "Mind your own business, Xaden."

The alpha was not happy with that answer, he growled threateningly, yet being threatened felt like home to Zuri.

"Are you trying to start an affair with him?" _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"Never said I will."

"But, you are considering it."

Zuri smirked. "Should I start it from the brothel instead?"

Xaden's brown eyes became dangerous when he let go of her chin and grabbed her neck. "Don't taunt me!"

There were a lot of words that Zuri wanted to vomit on his face, but she held her tongue back. She would only hurt herself if she taunted him more than this. She wouldn't get anything and she didn't like it when her pain brought no benefits.

His ego was already bruised because she didn't enjoy the sex part with him. He sought validation from those women in the brothel to boost his ego back.

"Understood!?"

"Yes."

Xaden glared at her, searching for any sincerity in her eyes, but her face was a mask. She showed no emotions, so in the end, he let her go.

"I didn't want to hurt you, but you pushed me to do that." He caressed her cheek and leaned over to kiss her lips, while Zuri just accepted it. "Next time, you need to know your place." He was satisfied enough to be able to subdue her. He should have done this sooner.

Once again, Zuri stared out of the window, as she remembered her conversation with Khaos. She didn't have any intention to consider it, but right now... she was contemplating it.
