A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 207: THE WARRIORS

After Logan became the alpha, he had moved his pack house to Golden Stream city, which was ten days away from the previous one. He insisted on this, as if he could see the crack between the king and alpha Khaos, especially when the king bestowed the alpha the previous luna of his own brother, as a form of humiliation for alpha Khaos.

It was a wise decision, because if he didn’t move the pack house by that time, the Blackthorne would have a hard time to defense itself, because the crucial activity was revolved around the pack house and its previous location was too close to Greywolf pack.

It was the best decision that Logan had made in retrospect.

"Where is your father’s warrior?" Dacre asked, he even skipped the formality and now he was trying to get the definite answer out of her.

"My king, I have written to my father and he is still preparing the warrior for this long journey. They will be here soon." Rose didn’t flinch when she heard the harsh word that came from Dacre and the king noticed her indifference attitude.

Something had shifted, something had changed, but Dacre couldn’t put his finger on it. It could be only in his mind, because he had been stressed by the situation, which made him overthinking everything.

"Me and the queen are still his daughters, my father will not abandon us." Rose looked at Dacre in the eyes. "The warrior will be here soon."

The situation was getting worse, because Khaos’s warriors moved so fast, the battle ended as fast as it began, especially with black magic users on his side. It was overwhelming to fight that kind of power.

At this rate, Khaos might have reached Blackthorne pack within two months and after that, he would have marched to the palace without any obstacle at all.

If Dacre could see that, of course, Rose and her father managed to tell the same thing too. It changed everything, it changed their entire plan.

"I want the exact time," Dacre said coldly.

"A month."

"A month!?" Dacre was livid when he heard this.

But, right at that time, Leonard burst into the room, he didn’t even knock when he approached Dacre and whispered something urgently to his ear because Rose was there.

"Ten thousand warriors have deflected to alpha Khaos’s side," Leonard whispered and that information alone was enough to make Dacre saw red.

He lashed out and threw the first thing that his hand could get, startled Rose and Leonard told her to leave. Later, she learned what happened.

Khaos was in charge for the security of the kingdom, which gave him an access to command all the warriors.

The warriors feared the king, since he was the figurehead of this kingdom, the symbol of power, that kind of feeling came from obligation as a subject, but they respected alpha Khaos, since he was the one, who taught them, disciplined them and was the one, who were around them often.

They used to get an assignment from the alpha, not the king. That was only one of the reasons for this deflection.

***

By the time Zuri arrived at Golden Stream city, it was night. They supposed to meet with Khaos in Little Red town, but the alpha seemed to have a smooth sailing on conquering the towns and city in Blackthorne pack.

Therefore, only today Zuri finally could meet with Khaos, yet the alpha was not in his tent. He was in the middle of a meeting with his warrior leaders.

"I will wait in his tent," Zuri said to one of the young warriors, who welcomed them.

"This way, luna," he said cheerfully and guided him toward the alpha’s tent.

Zuri learned that his name was Sunny, well, that suited him. He looked so cheerful and bright, it was annoying to see someone could smile so freely like that. He must be not older than fifteen years old. She wondered why a fifteen years old was here in the middle of a battle.

"Do you need anything, luna?" Sunny asked.

"No, you can leave." Zuri waved her hand and Sunny left after telling her the boring words that she could call him if she needed anything.

Once she was left alone, Zuri closed her eyes and drank in Khaos’s scent, which filled the entire tent. It calmed her nerves a little bit. She felt close to him and this gave her a shred of peace, though it didn’t shut down the voices in her head completely.

She had been on the verge of breaking down during their travel here, she couldn’t think clearly and more often than not, she would see those people, who were supposed to be dead. The people that she didn’t want to see anymore.

Even now, she saw her mother, sitting on the makeshift bed, staring at her with her usual judgmental eyes.

’Look at you. You gain more weight. Do you think this is how you will present yourself to your mate for the first time you met him?’

"Shut up." Zuri glared at her. "He doesn’t care with my weight. You are the only one, who cares about it."

’Oh, my dear. You don’t know how to keep a man.’

"Do you?" Zuri raised her brows. "You can’t even keep father from looking for another woman. You and I both know that he is not the most faithful man in this realm."

For a moment, Zuri felt pleased because she could shut her mother up from whispering nonsense to her face, but Karina’s smile sweetly.

’Do you believe that he is in the meeting, instead of being with one of the girls from this city?’ Her lips curled into an amusing smirk. ’Do you believe that he has stayed faithful when he can get all the woman that he wanted?’

"Shut up. He is not like your mate!" Zuri growled.

’Go ahead and see whether I am telling you the truth or not.’
