A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: A FORM OF COURTESY

"That's not right." Karina shook her head.

"I know."

"That's not right. I never taught you to be this stupid." Karina gritted her teeth. She was so angry at Zuri right now.

Meanwhile, out there, the commotion started to grow louder. They knew the meaning of that, but neither of them moved from their positions.

"I will inform your father about this," Karina said. She turned around and called for her maids to prepare a carriage for her.

"It's too late for you to do anything. You will also die if you go to the palace now. Go back to the River Creek pack and wait until the situation becomes more conducive."

Karina stopped walking out of the room, she turned around again to face her daughter. "I am with my mate, for life or death."

Silence stretched between the mother and daughter, as they watched a myriad of emotions flicker in each other's eyes.

"You love him," Zuri finally concluded.

"He is my mate. I devoted my life to be with him." Karina smiled. "This is what you call loyalty, something that I apparently failed to teach you."

After saying that, she left.

"No, mother. You didn't fail to teach me about loyalty. I chose the man that I gave my loyalty to, but he is just not someone you approved of. That is all."

Zuri then walked out of the room shortly after her. She went to her bedroom and stayed there until the night was over. She heard beasts growling in the distance and the sounds of beasts fighting. Apparently, the royal warriors were already here and they fought the guards that were left behind to protect the pack house.

Their resistance wouldn't last long, as the guards were no match for the battle hardened royal warriors.

Soon enough, two beasts found Zuri. She was still inside her bedroom, sitting next to her bed on the floor. She didn't fight back when the two warriors shifted back into their human form and escorted her out of the room.

She knew Xaden and her father had failed in their attempt to stage their so-called coup before the night fell, even before these warriors trespassed into the pack house and took her away to be imprisoned in the royal dungeon.

This must be the first time for Zuri to be in such a nasty and dirty place, where she couldn't even sit down without dirtying her dress even further.

Her mind was blank, she didn't know what to think, but to her relief, the voices in her head stopped as well. Probably, even they were afraid of the dark.

Tired of standing, Zuri finally slid down and hugged her knees, rocking herself back and forth. She didn't know what was happening out there or how many days had passed, everything was a blur. She was only clinging to the hope that Khaos wouldn't leave her in the lurch.

She chose him, he had to choose her too.

Zuri hummed to comfort herself, she patted her head the way Khaos did, but it didn't work. His touch was just magical and his existence was the medicine that Zuri needed.

'He has abandoned you.'

"No. He has not."

'See? He abandoned you. He only used you, just like everyone.' _{freēwēbnovel.com}
