"You can’t be serious, Khaos," Ezra growled when he saw Giana. She was unconscious now, sleeping on a makeshift bed inside one of the carriages that would be used to carry their stuff during their journey to Three Deadly Ways. "We don’t need her."
Tonight was the last night they would be in Wolfdale Kingdom and currently, Khaos was letting Ezra knew what he was going to do. They were in the stable, where their things were loaded into the carriages, so they were ready to leave early in the morning.
"Do you want to say you don’t need the beauty blood?" Khaos knew what Ezra’s argument would be. "She is the only chance for the completion of the beauty blood."
"What? No. How many curses that left until it’s completed?" Ezra disagreed. He really hated the fact that Elijah left with one more curse before Khaos managed to find him. If only Khaos was a little bit late, everything wouldn’t be this complicated.
More so, Ezra didn’t think it was necessary for Khaos to mark Zuri and form a mate bond between them.
"Thirty one curses."
"That will take years to be completed."
"Then years it is."
Ezra shook his head again, he looked around him, but the stable was empty, aside from the warriors that guarded this area tightly.
"You must be kidding me. Zuri only needs one more curse!" Ezra shook his head again, as if there was this annoying fly that Khaos couldn’t see. He then lowered his voice. "She only needs one more curse and we don’t need to wait for years. Think about it again."
They were going to Great Palace now, the last place where the curse should be put. One more curse and that was enough. Khaos could take revenge for his predecessor, he would avenge their vengeance for their loved one, who died during the massacre to protect his family.
This was not only Khaos’s revenge, but this was their revenge.
One more curse and they would be done with it.
However, Khaos could see what Ezra was thinking right now. He knew this man. He was the first person, who taught him how to scheme people around him, but Khaos could do it better now and he read people better, especially those, who close to him.
"Don’t even think about that, Ezra." Khaos took a step closer. "I tolerate you because you are Caiden’s father. You have been showing your unfaltering loyalty, but you need to know your place too. You are still my subject and Zuri is my mate. I marked her and mated her. Whatever harmful idea you have for her, I will see it as a treason."
Ezra was taken aback when he heard the word ’treason’. His jaw clenched. There was no way he was going to betray Khaos.
"I would never do that! Whatever I did, is for your benefit!"
"The end doesn’t justify the means."
"But..."
Khaos looked up to him, he saw him as a father figure and Ezra knew about that too, but he took things too far and now he forgot, who he was.
"She is my mate. My queen. your queen. Harm her and you harm me, and that’s treason."
