Three days later, Xaden went to Mount Eve, while Zuri remained under house arrest. He still didn't allow her to go out of the room and Zuri didn't allow anyone to enter her room or

deliver her food, aside from Sarah and Esther.

The two of them religiously brought food to her room twice a day and spent all their time inside. Not because they were particularly diligent with their job, but actually to laze around. Their luna suggested this.

"Do you know where the Luna is going?" Sarah asked, as she ate the food that was brought in the name of their luna.

"I don't know, I am not sure." Esther leaned over and talked in a low voice. "Do you think she has an affair with Alpha Khaos?"

Sarah widened her eyes, she also leaned over and lowered her voice to a whisper, as they continued gossiping. "Alpha Khaos is way more handsome than Alpha Xaden, but he is scary."

It was Sarah, who delivered the letter and she managed to catch a glimpse of the alpha.

"Scary as in?"

"So..." Sarah continued.

The luna had been gone the moment the alpha went to Mount Eve on monster hunting and she gave the instruction that only the two of them were allowed to enter her room. Nobody would question that, after all the alpha had made it very clear that the luna was under house arrest while he was gone.

And now, it had been two days and Sarah and Esther were having the time of their lives. They took all the food that they wanted from the kitchen with the pretext that they were for the luna and then spent the afternoon and evening lazing around in the bedroom.

This was heaven compared to their lives in the dungeon.

But of course, they were very curious where their luna was, she only said that she would return in a week.

And currently, Zuri was with Khaos. Sarah was right. She was with the alpha, inside a carriage as they moved toward the east to the border that separated the Celeste Kingdom and the Wolfdale kingdom.

Zuri agreed to help Khaos' business with the merchants from the Wolfdale Kingdom. He wanted to buy their business transportation, but the negotiations met a deadlock because the other party was not willing to budge.

"Where did you get the money?" Zuri asked. She was wearing a black hoodie that covered her face, just in case someone would recognize her, while Khaos was sitting across from her inside the carriage.

Khaos chuckled. "Just because your pack is the richest pack in this kingdom, it doesn't mean I don't have the money to buy ten ships."

Zuri shook her head. "You came here under an alias, which meant you couldn't use your identity as an alpha or a prince. In that case, you need to take out your own money to avoid drawing suspicion onto yourself that you used the kingdom's treasury." Zuri tilted her head. "Do you have that much personal money?"

Khaos smiled; he didn't appear offended by what she said. Instead, he looked amused by her deductive ability.

She was right actually. A million gold for one ship, which meant ten million gold for ten ships. It was a big amount of money for someone to have, even if you were an alpha.

Ten Million gold was more than half of the River Creek pack's wealth and her pack was the richest. They talked about a pack's wealth, not personal wealth.

That was why Zuri questioned the money.

"Where did you get the money from?" Zuri narrowed her eyes.

Khaos narrowed his eyes. This woman was smart and observant. Women didn't usually understand business. "You are too observant for your own good."

That was the only thing that Khaos said. He didn't answer her question and Zuri didn't prod further. Her mind was clear now and she kept her medicine with her, just in case she went crazy again. She didn't need those voices in her head when she needed to focus on this deal.

"What do you need those ships for?"

"To deliver meat."

As shifters, they were obviously meat eaters, but livestock couldn't live here. Only certain animals could live on this continent, wolves included. And then they couldn't eat the monsters. Their flesh was toxic to them.

The reason why livestock couldn't live on this continent was because of the monsters. Even if by any chance you could keep the livestock safe from the monster attack, they would eventually die, because apparently cattle and such couldn't eat anything that came from this continent and to have the feed delivered from another continent would cost more.

"I see, you need to feed your warriors," Zuri commented flippantly, she stared out of the window, while Khaos stared at her.

"Why ten? You don't need that many ships for delivering meat. One is enough." Zuri shifted her gaze back to him and he smirked. There was something in the way he smirked that made her curious about what he was thinking.

This alpha looked approachable, but at the same time, he was cold and nonchalant.

"The less you know, the better. You only need to hold the end of your deal and I will hold mine."

And with that, the rest of the journey was quiet. They arrived at Lumicen city. The city that was the closest to the border of the Wolfdale Kingdom.

There were many people from the Wolfdale kingdom here, especially the merchants. This was a big city and one of the active ones for trading.

Khaos had prepared everything. He came under the guise of a merchant, and Zuri, she was his wife.

"Wife?!" Zuri was annoyed when she learned about it, she thought she didn't need an identity for this. She could be an advisor, but he would introduce her as his wife?

"Hm." Khaos nodded calmly. "The merchants here are mostly non-shifters and they use the

term wife for their partner," he explained.

"I know the meaning of 'wife'!"
