A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 33: THEIR LITTLE SECRET

Not only did they get the ten ships for an unexpectedly very low price, but Zuri also shared some exceptionally invaluable insights about business with them. Bryden actually took notes of everything she said.

"I am still confused as to why she did it the way she did, but it worked!" Caiden looked at Zuri differently now. "It's too bad that she is already in a union with Alpha Xaden. She will be a perfect luna for our pack."

"Don't say weird things," Bryden chided. "Smart women can be dangerous."

The two of them were bickering at the front yard, next to the carriage that would take Khaos and Zuri out of the city. Caiden would go with them, but Bryden would stay behind to look after the ten ships that they just bought.

That woman was ruthless in demanding the price of the ships be cut by more than half. It was only possible because she knew the original price of the ships beforehand.

They were going back today and it would take two days to reach Blackthorne. During these

two days, Zuri spent her time inside the carriage. Khaos would sometimes accompany her, but most of the time he would sit next to Caiden on the coachmen seat.

Occasionally, Zuri would think about that one time Khaos stroke her hair. It didn't feel the same when she did it to herself though...

It was so true that when someone was deprived of love and kindness, even a small gesture from a complete stranger could make them crave it even more.

"You have not yet told me what you want in return for this favor I asked of you."

The carriage had stopped in a secluded area, where Zuri could shift into her beast and rush back to the pack house.

But, they had this last conversation before they parted ways.

"I will think about it carefully." Zuri nodded. "I don't want to rush the only favor I might get from you, Alpha Khaos."

Khaos smiled. "I don't think this will be the only 'favor'. I might ask for your cooperation again in the future." He stared into her eyes, those black eyes were less dull than when he first saw her. "Is our little secret exciting to you?"

Was it exciting to her? The answer was... yes.

She felt like a rebellious little girl, who was going against rules. The thought of doing something that was the opposite to what was expected of her was... liberating. The high she felt from fooling Xaden by staying with Khaos for days was amazing.

It felt like a small act of revenge for what he had done to her, since she couldn't retaliate against him blatantly.

So, if Khaos said he would ask for more favors in the future, would she help him again? The answer was absolutely 'yes'.

It was liberating. It tasted like freedom and the feeling of high from it was addicting.

"I will wait for that moment and collect my debt once I know what I want." Zuri smiled. It was

a genuine smile because for once, on a very rare occasion, she felt happy and it showed on her

face.

"You really like secrets, don't you?" Khaos smiled to see her eyes lit up.

And he did it again, he caressed her head and Zuri lowered her head sheepishly. She didn't know why, but she was bashful.

It reminded her of the sweet feelings she had when she first had a crush at twelve years old. It was stupid and silly, but it warmed her heart.

"Go back now before someone catches you."

"Okay." Zuri lifted her head and looked at those gray eyes. They looked beautiful and even mystifying, but at the same time, they seemed to hold a deep secrecy and mystery.

'Kiss him.'

That stupid voice echoed in her head again.

'Why? You don't dare to kiss him?'

'Just lean your body and kiss him. What is wrong with that?'

The annoying voice used to bother her. Usually, Zuri would shut it down, tune out, but not this time.

Zuri actually followed those voices in her head, urging her to do more, daring her to take the challenge, to make things more exciting, so she could feel more alive.

And that was what she did.

Zuri leaned over and pressed her lips against his.

As expected, his lips were cold, but soft and tasted sweeter than nectar when she licked them. His warm breath fanned her face. His scent was so divine, even now, she still wondered how she could not notice his scent unless she was this close to him.

"Do you even know what you are doing?" Khaos asked, his voice was slightly hoarse. He didn't pull back, nor did he push her away. However, he didn't open his mouth to give her access to explore more either. Instead, he simply smiled into her kiss and stared at her face.

The kiss was too innocent for his taste.

He could smell her scent, it reminded him of the forest after rain. Refreshing, yet mysterious and held so many dark edges.

Finally, Zuri pulled back, she bit her lip out of instinct, looked a little bit dazed as she stared

at Khaos and found her voice.

"I think it will add to our little secret too."

And after saying that, Zuri got out of the carriage and kept walking without turning back. She shifted into her beast and rushed toward the pack house, she knew how to sneak in without the warriors noticing her.

The alpha was not here, thus they slacked off. Moreover, even the luna, who was supposed to be in charge, was under house arrest. Based on that, no one would point out their laziness.

"Luna, we were worried about you, you said only a week, but it has been ten days and you just returned," Sarah immediately approached Zuri when she saw the luna enter the room.

"Oh, Luna, are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?" Esther approached her too, concern evident in her eyes. "Your face is so red."
