A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 248: WHERE IS SHE?

If Khaos was surprised to see that Declan was there, he didn’t show it on his expression.

The throne room was empty aside from the two of them and the throne on top of the platform. The precious gems from that throne had been stolen, but it didn’t make that chair as the symbol of absolute control became any less powerful.

It was placed there in the highest spot in this room, looked so arrogant.

"Good afternoon my great lycan king," Declan greeted Khaos. He didn’t sit on the throne now, instead, he approached Khaos and then bent his body like a loyal servant.

However, Khaos didn’t buy it. He let him to bow down and didn’t let him to stand up. Based on the rule, Declan was not allowed to stand up until Khaos said so.

But apparently, he didn’t go by the rule as he stood up on his own and greeted Khaos again as if there was nothing wrong with it. Khaos was not amused by this. He stared at him and asked him again with the same question.

"Where is she?"

Khaos was not playing at all. He looked furious, especially when he smelled the scent of the magic users around the room.

There were ten different scents, which meant there were ten of them and he knew he had been betrayed again by Bryden.

There was no way these magic users were here without him knowing about it. That was what made him very furious.

Khaos tried to find Zuri’s scent, but he couldn’t. There was this strange scent in the air and he didn’t like it. It was too sweet, the same like Zuri, but it was not her. He didn’t know why.

However, the truth was Zuri’s scent had been altered by the drug that Lorent gave her. The smell of the drug had changed her scent too.

That was why Khaos couldn’t find her right away.

"You don’t need to worry about it. The ritual will happen soon. You don’t need to worry about anything else my great lycan. You can sit and wait to see how everything unfolded."

Khaos actually scoffed. "I don’t want the completion of the beauty blood. I want my mate right now or else I am going to destroy all of you."

"My dear great lycan king, you should know better that this is our plan all along. This is what you and your people have been waiting for. Everything has gone according to the plan, but your attachment toward her only delayed the inevitable."

And by this time, Khaos knew the people that he trusted had betrayed him. They put their revenge above his order. He was sure that Ezra knew about this plan as well. It was so laughable that they tricked him into believing that they were on his side all this time when it turned out he was just a symbol for their own revenge.

And they use his mate because they thought they knew better than him. It was so pitiful to know this now. Too late, and he had put his mate in danger. Not only once, but a few times.

"You are the leader of the cult." That was not a question, but a statement.

"Yes, I am." Declan admitted it without any doubt. He was the leader of the cult. There was nothing to hide anymore at this point.

"And where your loyalty is?"

"My loyalty is to the lycan."

"Then release my mate."

"But I am sorry, I can’t do that." Declan shook his head. He looked apologetic. "Your judgment is clouded my great lycan. You don’t know what is right and what is wrong anymore."

Khaos actually laughed when he heard that. His laughter was even scarier than his anger. "What are you going to say? That I am losing my mind?"

"No, I will not dare to say anything like that. That’s so insulting." Declan shook his head again. "But the mate bond that you created with Zuri has changed your perspective. It clouded your mind, your judgment, and also your feeling toward her."

Declan took a step closer toward Khaos. He paused to gauge his reaction, but the lycan didn’t say anything, thus he continued with his monologue, thinking Khaos was actually listening to him.

"She has been a Shell, that’s why you need to use her the way how it’s supposed to be. My great lycan please release Giana Terrence. She is my aunt and I care about her. We can use her. We can use her for another Shell. She left with thirty two more curses. We can make another completion for the Beauty blood and you will be the most powerful lycan in the history."

Declan raised his arms, he looked excited to tell Khaos about his plan and the more he talked, the closer he got to Khaos.

"You can get The Great Lunar Kingdom without any problem. You will have them all for yourself, just please think about it carefully. Let me know where is Giana and everything will be fine."

Khaos was very quiet during such long speech from Declan, but then the next thing that happened left the latter speechless.

The lycan actually moved very fast to the point Declan couldn’t see his movement and it was too late to dodge his attack.

Khaos’s hand had clawed the inside of his stomach, but he didn’t pull his hand that pierce through his flesh. This movement would prevent Declan from healing his wound.

Khaos’s hand that pierced through Declan’s stomach stayed like that. He looked at Declan, watching his face grated in pain, but the lycan didn’t change his expression at all in this state.

He enjoyed this warm feeling, this warm blood in his hand. It gave him satisfaction. He dodged the fatal point intentionally and that was the reason why Declan had not yet died yet.

"Now tell me, where is Zuri?"

"I can’t. You are not going to complete the beauty blood."
