The open kitchen was proven effective for the people to tame the nasty rumor that had been spread by the royal about the lycan.
It had been a while, since they got a warm meal, especially when winter came and they couldn’t get enough food supply, therefore, they were very grateful for the free meal, twice a day, this was more than they could hope for, as they expected the worse from the occupation of the lycan’s warriors.
It was understandable, seeing how the royal warriors treated them, it was easy to think the worse for the next one.
"You did a good job," Caiden said, as he sat down next to Zuri, she looked exhausted after she helped with the distribution of food. She learned her mistake in River Creek pack and now she put herself out more as a figure that they could rely on. A luna of the pack.
She felt sick to her stomach because she had to smile often. Her cheeks hurt.
She couldn’t not to smile, because they would think she was angry when in truth that was only her normal facial expression. Fuck. Zuri remembered Rose did that with ease. She didn’t even need to smile all day.
"Thank you," Zuri said tiredly. "Compliment me more, it feels good."
Caiden rolled his eyes when he heard that. "Can’t do that. As an honest and righteous man, I can’t lie." He praised himself instead.
Both of them were sitting under the tree, staring at the civilians, who ate their meals and the children, who pressed their small bodies to their parents, they didn’t even dare to roam around, just like normal children.
Despite Khaos had established the rule here to stop them from fleeing the city and put themselves into more trouble, there was still people, who didn’t trust the alpha and believe on the rumor more.
Two days ago, there was a man, who was trying to kidnap a little girl to sell her out of the city, Khaos’s warriors chased him, retrieved the baby and killed the man. After that, the kidnaping attempt had ceased down significantly.
The cult was rather tame, they didn’t cause trouble and obviously, they couldn’t do anything to her when Khaos keep his eyes close on her.
Just like right now, Khaos was walking toward them once he finished with his meeting, it seemed, he could find him anywhere and this little fact was comforting.
"I think that’s my cue to leave," Caiden said, as he stood up and then walked away.
"How’s your day?" Khaos asked, his body towered above Zuri, making his shadow fell on her, while the glaring sunlight was behind him.
The tree where she was sitting rattled by the wind and its leaves fell on her lap. The wind was gentle, caressing her skin and she found herself staring at the man before her eyes with ridiculous expression.
"My cheeks hurt. I don’t want to smile for a while."
Khaos chuckled when he heard that. Being in public was not the thing that Zuri enjoyed and he knew that. The alpha then sat down beside his woman and pressed her head against his shoulder, so he could rest.
For a comfortable moment, they didn’t say anything and stared at the distance, relishing this quietness between them.
That was the question that no one could answer. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
