A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 27: ZURI’S PLAN

"You managed to get her onboard?" Caiden looked at the alpha, he was surprised to learn about it. "How did you charm her?"

"She wanted a way out of that union."

Khaos had just returned from the Blackthorne pack after escorting Zuri back. He took five of his warriors as an extra protection.

At first, he thought Zuri would reject his offer to escort her back to the Blackthorne pack, because it would cause a scandal. It wouldn't look favorable for her, but to his surprise, she agreed with him.

Khaos still remembered the look on Xaden's face when he saw his mate with him. Zuri caused trouble, but when he saw that woman, she looked nonchalant, defiant even.

And by the time Khaos returned to the Gray wolf pack, it was already dawn, but he had a great time last night. That woman... surprised him. He knew that she was the mastermind behind the River Creek pack's business deals while her father had been claiming credit for her ideas.

"Why? Is she not happy?" Caiden dug deeper. He walked beside Khaos in the hallway.

Khaos glanced at Caiden. "Who could stand waking up to that face every day?"

After saying that, Khaos went inside his bedroom and closed the door, while the gamma was laughing so hard, his face turned red.

Zuri didn't take her cub back. The white furball needed extra care, something that she didn't have any idea about. Instead, she would get him back in the party that the Gray wolf pack would hold in two weeks from now for their alpha's return.

It was still early in the morning and Khaos needed to catch up with his sleep, since he stayed up the whole night. But the same couldn't be said about Zuri. Because Xaden was mad beyond reason upon seeing his mate return with another man in the middle of the night.

She was locked up in her bedroom now.

Xaden was enraged enough to hit her again, and this time, he didn't hold back. The previous night had been long and agonizing, and Zuri endured it all. She had anticipated this punishment when she decided to visit the Gray Wolf pack, fully aware that it defied Xaden's orders not to interact with Khaos.

Well, it seemed, she would never be able to agree to that, since she just had a deal with him.

She was still feeling exhilarated from the small rebellion she had staged and the pain had dulled by the time the sun rose. Thankfully, as a shifter, she healed faster, or else, Sarah and Esther would be cleaning up her wounds and taking care of a few bruises right now.

Yet, when the afternoon came, she could feel the high slip through her fingers and leave her with this fucking numbness.

There was this noise from behind the door and Zuri recognized their voices.

"Go inside, I will stand on guard here."

"Luna..." Esther called her from the door, as she crept into the room with a piece of warm bread and a glass of water.

Zuri tilted her head and looked at Esther, who hurriedly came to her side. She was sitting on the cold floor. The tiles bit into her skin as her dress had been ripped off. She was only in her undergarments now.

"Luna, you shouldn't have done that. You landed yourself in trouble," Esther said. She put down the bread and the glass next to Zuri, as she got a blanket for her and covered her body. "Here, you need to eat something. The Alpha is so cruel that he did not allow anyone to give you food or water. He even locked you here, thankfully, we know where to find the key. Here, you need to drink and eat."

It seemed, even though Zuri was battered now, she won her own bet. These two became the people that she could rely on.

However, it was not this water and bread that she wanted.

"I want to write letters."

"But, Luna..." Esther looked at her and knew better not to argue, she immediately got up and brought over a parchment and quill to Zuri.

Zuri wrote two letters to two people and instructed Esther to deliver them. One letter for her father, which she only needed to give it to one of her father's spies and the other was for Alpha Khaos.

"Leave now."

"But, Luna, you need to eat or drink something." She insisted.

They were good at their job as the personal maids if they wanted to. They were actually pretty loyal, given that they were also loyal to Faye to the point they were daring enough to go against their alpha and luna.

"Finish this job, and I will reward both of you for your good work." Zuri smirked. She was fine, at least for now. Skipping dinner and breakfast a few times wouldn't weaken her, but of course if this continued for days, she wouldn't be okay.

But, she wouldn't let that happen. She had a few plans that were already in motion now.

"Luna..." Esther wanted to say something, but she bit her lip and then took the letters along with the bread and water. She couldn't let other people know that they tried to feed the luna.

And now, Zuri could only wait for her plan to unfold.

She climbed into the bed and fell asleep.

It was a waiting game for her now. It would take two weeks to travel from the River Creek pack

to the Blackthorne pack; she hoped she could still make it by the time her father arrived.

Meanwhile, Sarah delivered the letter to the Graycwolf pack herself. She shifted into her light brown beast and rushed to that pack with the letter strapped around her wolf's ankle.

It took her six hours, because she wasn't used to a long journey like this and needed to rest a few times to catch her breath.

By the time she reached the pack, it was already late at night.

"I need to deliver a letter to Alpha Khaos."
