Gayle didn’t even know what to say at this point.
"You did the opposite of what I had ordered you to do. You didn’t even listen to me as your king."
"Khaos..." Gayle was speechless. He himself followed his order, but he couldn’t say the same thing about the other. Bryden and Ezra clearly had crossed the line.
"Do you see me as your king?"
"Absolutely." Gayle didn’t even think when he answered.
"As your king, why do you think I have to listen to you?" Khaos’s expression was as cold and calm like a river in the winter. "I only want my mate. All the three Kingdoms could burn into flame for all I care. I couldn’t care less about it. Zuri can kill all of those warriors to her heart content. I don’t care as long as she is happy with that."
"You are crazy, Khaos." Gayle shook his head when he heard that confession. How could Khaos become very impulsive like this?
Khaos was very cruel and now Zuri could even have her killing spree, if she wished for that.
"If she wanted to burn this whole world, then I will help her. I will watch the whole world turned into ashes with her."
"Khaos!" Gayle growled at him. He was insane. The lycan had gone insane! "You can’t do something like that!"
"I can and I will, so you can either stay away from me or I can burn you along with those people."
For a moment, there was a heavy silence between them. Probably, Khaos could feel it, the shift in Gayle’s loyalty for him, yet he was too powerful for Gayle to do something against him. All of the warriors also knew about that.
The night went so quiet, as the pale moonlight shone above them, but when Khaos turned around and was about to leave, Gayle finally spoke, breaking the silence between them.
"You know that it’s not like her, right? You can feel it too. There is no way you can’t feel that. She is not Zuri. She is the manifestation of Devil." Khaos should have known it was not her. "The real Zuri wouldn’t do something like this without any remorse. Zuri will feel bad for hurting others intentionally, especially when she had to lose control over the voices in her head. She will never intentionally hurt someone else and feel not even an ounce of regret or even guilt for what she has done. You know it’s not her, right?"
Khaos stared at Gayle for a second longer and the gamma wished what he said reached him, but he was completely wrong.
"It’s her."
Gayle said nothing else, as he watched Khaos walked away. He balled his fists, didn’t know what else to do. He didn’t want this, but he didn’t think he could follow the lycan’s craziness. Someone should put stop in this.
