A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: LEARN HOW TO DANCE TO THE MUSIC

Zuri didn't know how long she had been asleep, but the first thing that came to her mind was her conversation with Xaden.

There was nothing that was worth noting. It was just like she had expected. He didn't care about the rejection. They were not meant to be together anyway.

However, he told her bluntly that if she tried to break the union between them, it would only put her at a disadvantage.

The odds were against her because she would lose her value. She had already been mated and marked. She was a used woman and now she had a miscarriage. All of those things would put her in a bad light, while Xaden would walk out of this scratch free.

Those things wouldn't affect him.

'Let's stay in this union and my offer to you is still the same. You can do whatever you want as long as you uphold your status as the luna and not tarnish our pack name or ruin our pack's image. We will mind our own business. Once you give birth to a son, you can live wherever and do whatever you want.'

Zuri would have laughed had she not been too tired. The medicine worked so well. It almost knocked her off and Xaden took her silence as she agreed to his terms.

After that brief conversation, he left Zuri alone.

But then, if Zuri was given a chance to talk back to him, even if she was not as loopy as she was at that moment, the final result of the conversation would still be the same.

She wouldn't be able to get away from this.

No matter how much she despised him or denied the truth of his statement, he was right. She would be the one at disadvantage. She would be the one that would suffer in the end.

She was already suffering enough now, why would she want more when Xaden would be left unscathed?

If she had to go down, she was going to take them all down with her. She shouldn't be the only one who suffered.

"You are awake."

Karina's voice snapped her back to reality. Zuri didn't realize that her mother was inside the room. Her mind seemed to be occupied with a lot of things.

"Here, I've brought you your dinner," she said. She stood up gracefully and took a tray full of food with her. She set it down on the table next to the bed, as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

Karina stretched out her hand to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear, but Zuri swatted her hand away.

"Don't be stubborn. Your stubbornness will not take you anywhere," she said. Her voice was so soft, it was almost like she had motherly love for her daughter. Probably she did, but she showed it in a way that Zuri couldn't understand.

"Leave me alone."
