A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 230: THE VOICES AND TEMPTATION

The way he looked at her... and the understanding dawn on Zuri now, which was confirmed by Lorent in what he said next.

"She is my mate. I will kill anyone, who hurt her like this." This time, his eyes were ablaze with anger, but then he lifted his head and looked at Zuri. "Don’t you think that’s how a mate should be? They will put you first, no matter what the reason, no matter what the circumstance and no matter what at stake."

Zuri seemed to notice, who this woman was. Khaos told her once about a young girl from Rhett’s maternal family, who stayed in Great Palace for a few years before the downfall of the old dynasty. Was that little girl at that time was this woman? It matched with her age if she was more than a decade older than Khaos. freēnovelkiss.com

"Can Khaos do that for you? Can he stop the ritual for you? Or are you simply being useful for him? And he doesn’t have any scrupulous of using you."

Zuri felt like she needed to turn around and stop listening to him, because he got on her nerves and she was angry.

Not because she was upset of what he said, but because she knew that he was right. It got on her nerves because she knew from the beginning that she was useful to Khaos and he used her like anyone else in her life.

But in her defense, she allowed him to do so, that’s why it was different.

However, when she thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn’t know why she felt this immense rage within her.

Probably because she expected more of him. She expected him to choose her. She expected him not to hurt her.

"You crossed the line Sir Lorent." Zuri’s voice was steady, despite the turmoil inside her. "That’s not how you should address him. I will let it slide this time, but if that happened again. I think your brother’s sacrifice to step down from the throne will be a waste of effort, because I will have you and this woman beheaded for treason."

No. Khaos killed Elijah because he kidnapped her and he didn’t allow them to put the last curse on her. He chose her... right?

"Good night."

And with that, she walked away from Lorent. She grabbed her own hands, they were trembling, the voices in her head were getting louder, mocking her and laughing at her. Telling her the same thing that Lorent said.

Zuri felt like there was fire inside of her body, which was hard to be extinguished, it gnawed in her chest and burned her with anger.

Her whole body was trembling, it was overwhelming, but what was harder to control was her rage. Her desire to kill someone to quench the fury that gnawed in her mind.

Frenzy thoughts flashed in her mind and she didn’t know where she was going, this garden was confusing, there were so many red colors around her. The color of blood. She wanted to see blood...

"Great Queen Zuri, are you, alright?" A warrior on patrol asked her, he looked so young and he must be younger than Zuri.

Zuri didn’t answer him. She stared at him, because she didn’t know what he was talking about. The voices in her head were getting loud. She needed to get to Khaos. She knew how to shut them up.

"I will walk you back to your quarter, if you don’t mind," he said, the look of worry on his young face. "Come here, follow me."

Zuri didn’t even realize that she was panting. She didn’t feel good. She couldn’t hear what he said, but she followed him anyway. She needed to get out of this garden. The color of red rose around her made her sick to her stomach.

They looked like blood, as if someone had a lot of free time and painted them with real blood.

"Great Queen Zuri, what are you doing in the middle of the night here?" the warrior asked her again, after they finally came out of the garden rose and Zuri could finally breathe. "You shouldn’t be out here."

"What’s your name?" Zuri suddenly asked, she stopped walking and then stared at the warrior’s boots.

"Me? I am Collin." The warrior stopped walking too and looked at her with confusion because she didn’t walk with him. "Something is wrong Great Queen Zuri?"

"Why do you patrol alone?" Zuri lifted her eyes to meet his.

"It’s normal to patrol alone in this palace."

"Is it normal to have dirty boots walk around the palace?" Zuri nodded at his boots. "It’s not raining for a few days, there is no muddy ground around here. Where that dirt come from?"

"Huh?" Collin looked down at his boots and then laughed sheepishly. "I was..." he made a wrong gesture that triggered Zuri and this was fatal for him, because the next thing that he knew, Zuri had slit his throat.

It almost felt like an instinct for her. She saw this gesture as a threat, especially when she was not in her right mind and he reached to his pocket. It reminded her of when his father took out the needles from his pocket to hurt her.

"Zuri... Zuri!"

Zuri snapped back when she heard her name was being called and lifted her head to see Caiden was standing not too far from her and when she looked back to her hands, she saw they were bloody. The warrior’s head was mangled. It seemed, she had been clawing him relentlessly.

Caiden didn’t immediately approach her, he put distance from her, since this was not the first time for him to encounter Zuri when she was losing it and he learned a hard lesson no to approach her if he didn’t want to be the next victim.

Instead, he called for Khaos.

"It’s okay, it’s okay... he is only dead. It’s okay... no problem."
