A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55: CONVERSATION IN THE EARLY MORNING

"You are well aware that because of your defiance and your threat to the King, he became cautious of you, right?" Bryden frowned at the alpha, who looked nonchalant after he enraged the king, as he made him wait for three hours straight just to talk to Zuri.

Dacre must still have some self preservation for not tearing down Khaos' bedroom door and dragging him out of there.

At some point, Khaos must have instilled some deep fear in him, preventing Dacre from crossing Khaos' limits. And the alpha was right, despite his status as the king, he was wary of him.

"If you keep doing this, you will lose control over him. What is your plan?"

"He will only become reckless by trying to one up me." Khaos walked down the hallway with Bryden biting off his ear, as he complained all the way to the carriage. "That kind of person is the easiest to manipulate."

"Mabel will not agree with this sudden change in plans." Bryden shook his head. "She will not approve of that woman either. She was someone else's woman. You don't deserve a second hand woman."

"It's so rich coming from you." Khaos gave him a look and Bryden avoided his gaze. The beta's destined mate was someone else's mate before. Bryden literally killed the man to free her, because he abused his destined mate, and now they were together with a child on the way.

It was Bryden who killed the elder from River Creek pack two years ago, since his destined mate was one of that old bastard's playthings.

"You are different, Khaos. You are..." He stopped himself and didn't continue his words, as the alpha entered the carriage. The conversation died down just like that.

Right now, they were waiting for Zuri to finish her conversation with King Dacre before they could leave for the capital city together.

The sun had just risen in the east, and its warmth made the autumn morning feel less chilly, though it would be freezing cold in the winter.

Meanwhile, inside Khaos' study room, Zuri was facing the king. This would be the first time for her to meet with him after what happened.

"Do you realize that you could be with your father and brother right at this moment if it's not for my mercy?"

'The audacity.'

'He will not be here if it's not for you leaking out the information about the coup.'

'He would have been buried in the ground or left to choke on his own blood.'

Zuri took a deep breath, she needed to shut down those voices in her head. She looked at King Dacre and then smiled.

"Yes, and I am grateful for your wise judgment in recognizing that I was not part of any of that."

Dacre smiled. "But, you know that a traitor's bloodline should be cut off completely, right?"

"In this case, that's questionable. Because if the bloodline needed to be severed completely..." Zuri lifted her head and gave Dacre the sweetest smile. "Alpha Xaden is actually your brother." She then added, emphasizing the words. "By blood."
