"You accepted the offer," Zuri asked, she stared at Khaos, still sitting on the bed, naked. She was not happy to hear this news, especially when the first thing that he did in the early morning was meeting with another woman.
’The first thing I did was kissing you, not meeting her.’
Khaos corrected her when Zuri had this yet another ridiculous complain, but she retorted that it didn’t count, since she couldn’t confirm that, as she was asleep.
"Yes, it will be less messy and it will quicken the plan." Khaos approached his unhappy mate. Zuri had this habit to press her lips tightly into thin line whenever she was annoyed. "This is your plan, remember? She came here to tell us that she and Wolfdale kingdom accepted our deal."
Indeed. This was Zuri’s plan when she sent Bryden away. She knew that Bryden could be a good negotiator. He was also still holding the beta title, because Zuri managed to convince Khaos not to strip him off his title.
Not so long ago, Khaos had demoted Caiden from his position as gamma and if it happened again with Bryden, Zuri was worried the other pack member would see her as a trouble woman. She didn’t need that.
Zuri learned from Rose that public’s opinion mattered.
"Yes, but king Amidas could have sent someone to reply."
Khaos chuckled, he sat down next to her and pulled down the blanket that covered her breasts, they were not big, but they were perfect in his palms. "He did send someone. His favorite daughter."
Pursing her lips, Zuri put her finger under Khaos’s chin, so he could meet her eyes and stop staring at her breasts. "I don’t appreciate it you met with another woman. I am going to slit her throat if she tried to do stupid shit like what she was trying to do to Dacre."
Of course, Zuri knew about how Rose tried to get in bed with her little sister’s mate. That was so fucked up and she was glad, she didn’t have any sister.
After Khaos marked her, Zuri was a little bit stable. She could think clearly and scheme freely, because the voices had been very quiet whenever she was with Khaos.
However, it didn’t mean she was not getting worse in another aspect. She became extremely territorial and if she could, she would have kept Khaos inside the tent and didn’t let anyone to meet with him. Her jealousy got worse and she couldn’t help it.
The voices would come and the hallucination as well, whenever she stressed out herself.
"You overestimated her," Khaos said lightly. Her threat meant nothing for him. It was not something that he needed to be worried about.
Khaos wouldn’t have used this slow method if it was not for the fact that he cared for her. Mate or not, or even if it was an attraction between the Shell and the lycan, he yearned for her. This, Khaos was certain.
