Alpha Roland smirked. "I tell you, the universe is helping us with this. We don't need to do anything." He sat down on the sofa and leaned his back, looking satisfied.
Xaden dismissed the guard and walked over to Alpha Roland. "I think we can speed up our plan."
"I want Khaos to go down with him too. He has been a good dog for your brother," Roland said, malice trickled from his voice.
"We can arrange that." Xaden smirked, but he confirmed one thing that he had suspected since the very beginning; Roland didn't really care about Zuri as much as he tried to show. His mask slipped and Xaden could see the coldness in his eyes toward his daughter.
He also knew that Roland had beaten Zuri up yesterday before he returned to the pack house.
Since Zuri's injuries were only cuts and bruises, by the time he arrived and met her, she had already healed. She looked fine, but her eyes looked dead.
"What do you think you are doing?!" Karina hissed, she looked her daughter dead in the eyes.
Because Roland and Xaden were having a discussion right now, she rushed over to take advantage of the moment and straighten her daughter up. She had spiraled; not only did she not know what was good for her, but she actively sought death.
"How many times should I tell you?! You can't provoke him! Do you want to die so badly?!" She was exasperated. "Do you know that he almost killed you?!"
Right now, Zuri was sitting on her bed, hugging her knees, as she stared into the distance. Her mother's shrill screams couldn't drown the voices in her head. She was back to feeling numb again.
This was not the first time Zuri had been like this and every time she went through this phase, it caused Karina immense pain. She only had one child and it was a girl, but even though she was smart, she was... broken. Crazy, just as Roland would call her.
Roland kept blaming her for giving birth to a girl, a crazy girl on top of that.
However, Karina couldn't bring herself to hate her. Zuri was still her daughter after all, she wanted her to survive at all costs.
There were times when Zuri looked completely normal, but there were also times when she went spiraling and let her impulse control her.
"Are you even listening to me?!" Karina snapped, she cupped her face roughly and forced Zuri to look at her.
"Mother," Zuri called her in a weak voice. "Did you know that white wolves are very rare? There is a myth that says they are spiritual animals of the lycans."
Zuri didn't know why she started to blurt out a random story about the white wolves that Caiden told her during their stay in Lumicen city. That gamma liked to talk.
"What are you talking about?" Karina shook her head. She looked so sad, because her daughter was losing her grip on reality again.
"Mother, can we not talk about how to survive? My head hurts..." freewёbnoνel.com
