A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: SELF LOATHING

At some point, Zuri wanted Khaos to hurt her, but at the same time, the way he treated her differently was the reason why she was attracted to him, why she was obsessed with him.

The gentleness of him felt like a sin, something that she shouldn't touch or explore, but she craved it regardless.

Khaos still ran his hand up and down her ribcage, his brows furrowed for some reason that Zuri was not sure, since she was still struggling to urge him to hurt her.

When you grew up with constant presence of pain and fear, these feeling would feel like 'home', because you knew what to expect and how to react to them, yet tenderness was bizarre.

However, when Zuri thought Khaos would do something to her, he simply rested his hand on her wrist. He held her hand lightly. His grip was too gentle for her liking and it felt like he was holding something delicate, fragile. Zuri despised the thought, but liked it at the same time. It was a very complicated feeling that ran through her mind.

"What is Red Feather?" Khaos suddenly asked the question that she didn't expect at all. His grip around her wrist a little bit tightened when Zuri jerked away from him out of instinct. "What kind of medicine is that?"

Zuri tried to get away from Khaos. Panic was written all over her face right now and this alerted Khaos even more.

"The medicine doesn't exist. No owner of drugstore knew what kind of medicine is that." Khaos leaned over. "Tell me, what medicine is that."

There was no escape. Zuri was forced to admit her craziness to him. Khaos wouldn't let her go with half ass explanation and she was too anxious to even control her expression and the alpha caught to it quickly.

"What medicine is that?" Khaos narrowed his eyes. "Are you going to drug me?"

Zuri looked mortified upon hearing the accusation. She widened her eyes in disbelief, as she shook her head. "No. Of course, not. I will never do that to you."

And at the same time, she heard what people said, the accusation that was put over her head. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

If Zuri was heartless enough to betray her parents and her own mate, what else she couldn't do? She didn't care about her family, she could betray anyone and how untrustworthy she was.

She heard the voices and saw the faces that judged her for her betrayal.

"I will never do that to you!" Zuri became rather hysterical. All of her senses were amplified.

Giving to her history, the urge to prove herself to him that she didn't betray him, became more unreasonable. She was frantic.

Khaos had never seen this side of her, where she couldn't control herself. He then pulled her and hugged her and when Zuri kept rambling about how she wouldn't hurt him, Khaos simply patted her back and waited for her to calm down. He pressed her head against his chest and cradled her in his arms.

It took some time for Zuri to compose herself and only then, she told him that the medicine was for her, yet she was still vague with her explanation.
