A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38: THE KING WITHOUT QUEEN

Zuri woke up for the midnight prayer and found a few blood stains on the bed, but it wasn't her blood. Unlike usual, she felt less pain too.

Her finger was tracing the bloodstains when Xaden walked toward her and kissed her neck. "That's my blood, you clawed my back when I gave you pleasure." He smiled against her skin, seemingly proud because he could drive her insane. "See? I told you, you just need to practice."

Zuri turned her head to look at him and met him in the eyes. It was not him that she imagined thrusting into her a few hours ago, but she wouldn't tell him that.

"We need to go now," Xaden said, he kissed her lip and caressed her breast lightly, teasing her.

"We need to go," Zuri said, as she broke the kiss and pushed him away from her. Xaden chuckled to see her reaction. He didn't take offense, because he thought his mate was just being shy.

"I should mark you again."

Hearing that, Zuri threw him a look. "No. I don't want to go through that pain anymore."

"In that case, you shouldn't have rejected me just because you were jealous."

It was so shallow of him to think that Zuri rejected him simply because she was jealous. Stupid people saw stupidity, thus if that was how Xaden saw it, Zuri didn't want to waste her energy explaining herself.

Together, they went for the midnight prayer, which only the direct family members and their partners could attend. It meant Alpha Roland and Luna Karina were not there, as were the rest of the elders.

King Amidas was standing next to his queen, staring at their dead daughter, chanting a sorrowful song. All of them there did the same thing. The midnight prayer would last for only fifteen minutes and after that, they would go back to their own bedrooms.

This ritual continued for a week and every time, before and after the ritual, Xaden would make sure to have sex with Zuri. He was in a hurry to get her pregnant because right now, not only did his brother not have an heir, he didn't have a queen either.

"Heavens... you are so great." Xaden thrusted from behind, as he used one hand to support his body and the other hand to rub her clit. He bit her shoulder when he came undone. "Let my seed warm your womb."

Zuri hated that he talked whenever they had sex, and Xaden talked too much. It would be easier for her to pretend he was someone else if he was quiet.

"You like it, right?" Xaden's body pressed hers beneath him. He caged her, as he licked her nape.

"Hm." Zuri made a grunting noise to boost his ego, hearing that he started to yap that he was right to let her watch him being intimate with another woman.

"Now, you have learned."
