A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 203: SHE NEEDS TO SEE HIM

Despite Rose’s effort to hide her barren neck from Logan’s mark, she couldn’t hide it from the king, he could see it clearly that Logan had not yet marked her. Hell, he didn’t even touch her and every time they were together, he would always look very angry with her, as if he resented her.

Rose couldn’t understand why he was like that, it was not like the two of them entered this union based on their desire. It was only a formality. Dacre wanted to tie down Wolfdale kingdom even more with her union to one of his alphas.

"It’s... there’s an internal problem," Rose said without offering any detail.

She was a little bit embarrassed and Dacre must have seen that. The king simply nodded. "Do you want me to talk to him?"

"No, my king. Thank you for the offer, but I think it will be best if I handled it on my own."

Dacre nodded again, acknowledged her words. "Do you need anything else?"

Rose was not sure what Dacre wanted. He knew that she didn’t want to be with Logan, though she didn’t say it out loud, but the union happened anyway and now he was being generous to ask what she wanted.

"No, my king." Rose shook her head.

After that, they discussed a little bit more about the detail of the ambush that they would lay in Little Red town.

And while they were waiting for her father’s warrior, she offered to use all of her resources. Rose would use her guild as a resource.

Dacre looked pleased when he heard that. With this, he wouldn’t think Wolfdale kingdom would deflect when his position was not in favor anymore.

"You can leave now," Dacre said, as he dismissed Rose, but then he talked a little bit more before she walked out of the room. "I think that’s a wise decision to stay unmarked. You don’t know what will happen in the battlefield."

The indication of what he said was very clear. Rose wouldn’t know when she was going to lose Logan. That was the ominous thing about war, nobody knew when death came to them.

When Rose left the room and walked in this empty hallway, she saw Logan had been waiting for her at the end of it. He had his back against her, leaning his body against one of the pillars with his arms crossed.

But, when she got closer, he turned around and looked at her, she met his eyes briefly before she averted her gaze and when she reached him, Logan simply walked beside her silently, as if he was there to escort her.

They were going back to the pack house because Logan had to make preparation to leave for Little Red town.

"Are you waiting for me?" Rose asked with a frown when she walked beside him.

"What did you talk about with the king?"

Rose had expected this question. "Nothing. Only a few more detail about the ambush."

Logan scoffed when he heard that. "The king has a lot of men, who could suggest him about the war plan, but he asked your suggestion?"

"Because I am resourceful," Rose replied plainly, she was a little bit hurt because Logan underestimated him, though that was not what he meant. It was understandable if your mate was upset when you talked alone with another man in a closed room. "The king needs the support from Wolfdale Kingdom and I am the bridge between him and my father."

Logan said nothing after that and they walked in silence, until they heard a commotion from afar and someone rushed toward them, his expression was vicious and calculated, but you couldn’t mistake the killing intent in his eyes. Especially when he shifted into his beast.

Out of instinct, Logan shifted into his beast too and met him halfway before he could reach Rose, since she was the easier target.

Everything happened so fast, there was a loud growl, bones breaking and then blood that spilled on the ground when it was over.

Rose was too stunned to speak when she watched the attacker twitched on the ground, shifting back into his human form, his body covered in blood and wounds.

"Are you, okay?"

Logan came to her view, covering the gory sight of the other man, while two warriors rushed to the scene and take care of it.

"Look at me," Logan demanded. His voice was gentle, but firm. "Are you, okay?"

Rose could only nod. She was too shock. Logan was so fierce when he was fighting and he was so close to kill the other man.

"Wh- what happened?" Rose stuttered, but Logan had turned her body around to prevent her from staring at the scene longer.

"They caught one of alpha Khaos’s spies, he tried to escape," Logan explained briefly.

Rose glanced at him, he looked calm. He had his arm around her shoulder, a protective gesture. A moment ago, this man was so fierce, he could have ripped the other man’s heart out, but right now, his touch was comforting.

"I will assign warrior for you once we returned," Logan said grimly.

Rose simply nodded again, but when she took a glance at him she flinched when she saw traces of blood on Logan that she didn’t notice before.

Logan noticed her reaction too, thus he removed his arm from her shoulder and they walked together to the carriage that had been waiting for them.

***

Zuri got another letter from Khaos, he always wrote to her, twice or even thrice a week with the progress, or some time, his letter would fill with idle thing, talking about how he found a black rabbit and it reminded him of her, but then he contradicted it, saying that the rabbit was too tame compared to her. Whatever that meant...

Zuri found solace in his letter, it kept her grounded, but obviously it wouldn’t last for long because she was in desperate need to see him. Her hallucination returned...
