Chapter 118: SOLVING THE PROBLEM
Zuri was worried that this matter would put Khaos in bad light in their eyes. She didn't want that for Khaos. She knew his goal and it wouldn't do him any good to have people turned their back on him and painted him as a bad alpha.
"I can try to pull some businesses and gained some food supplies, but the problem is, the ocean is frozen now and there are no ships to deliver food supplies." Zuri bit her lip, trying to think of the solution to help Khaos to solve this problem.
Meanwhile, the alpha simply looked at her, he found it endearing to have someone to think of a solution on his behalf and from the deep frown on her forehead, you could tell how hard she was trying to help him.
Khaos kissed her cheek instead and this put all the people, who was complaining, in confusion. They were complaining here, but the alpha just kissed deceased alpha Xaden's mate.

Zuri was surprised, but she liked it. She didn't know why she was being kissed all of sudden, but she liked it and turned her head so Khaos could kiss her other cheek and to everyone bewilderment, the alpha did it.
"Come here," Khaos said, he then left the scene and took her to the other gates of the pack, it located at the south of the pack, where they used this gate to bring in goods.
Rhett was confused, so was everyone when the alpha left in the midst of their complain.
"I appreciate your effort to help to solve the problem," Khaos said. He grabbed her hand carefully, because of how skinny her fingers were.
Famine was not here yet, but Zuri looked like she had suffered from it already.
"But, there is nothing to be worried about," Khaos said, nodded at carriages after carriages that were being wheeled into the pack house. It would be enough until the winter was over.
Zuri was shocked, but then she remembered about the ships that Khaos had bought months ago. "The ships..." She talked in small voice. "You bought the ships for this? What about the king ships? Did you have anything to do with that?"
"That's a harsh accusation, luna Zuri." Khaos winked at her playfully and Zuri knew he indeed had something to do with the failed delivery for the food supplies that the king had arranged and she started to giggle.
"You are so wicked!" she said with a happy smile, as the pale sunlight fell on her face. "I like it," she added.
But then, an idea came up in her mind and she pulled him down to whisper it to his ear. Khaos bent down his body to accommodate their height different. Even though, Zuri didn't need to whisper to him, because all of the people around them were busy to move the carriages and Khaos could remind her that, they still did it this way.
Her warm breath caressed his ear and her voice sounded very excited to tell him what plan that she came up with.
Zuri was tiptoeing and Khaos had his arm around her waist to steady her, with her current body, it wouldn't be too exaggerated to say that a strong gush of wind could make her stumbled.
"How's it?" Zuri asked, her face flushed red, she was excited to hear his opinion. She loved talking to him about ideas because he took it seriously and she felt like she was his equal, instead of his subordinate or something.
Not like with her father, he would make sure Zuri knew that whatever she was doing, she would always be below him, because she was a woman and Roland was her father, on top of him being the alpha, thus he would always have the last say.
"Brilliant," Khaos said, he pecked her lips and tucked strand of hair behind her ear.
Hearing that, Zuri's heart swelled with happiness and pride for herself. It felt so different when someone acknowledged and praised you for your effort.
And while they had their own conversation related to the ships and food supplies, Caiden stared at them from the distance, as he counted all the carriages and checked the quality of food.
The gamma had seen the alpha was being playful, but it had never been genuine, until now. He looked relax and patient enough to hear whatever thing that Zuri told him.
Caiden was still unsure whether this was a good sign or not. He had received news from his father that he and Bryden would return in a month, thing would escalate from there once they learned the situation here.
But right now, they had another situation that they needed to handle first.
People were confused when they saw carriages after carriages that wheeled into the pack house and they started to sniff it.
"It's meat!"
"The carriages bring meat!"
"It's food supplies!"
Their jaw dropped to the ground when they saw more and more carriages of food supplies that came from the south gates. They didn't believe their eyes and how easy their food problem was solved.
Rhett was also happy to see the people's reaction and how they thanked the alpha profusely. He knew about this food supplies, because he had been working on it with Caiden for the past few days, though dealing with the gamma was more than a headache than anything else that had dealt with.
However, they didn't know how the alpha wanted to break this news to the people, thus he didn't say anything about it earlier.
And yet, here the lycan was, he didn't say anything, but the way he told them not to worry about food was very impactful.
"As expected from the true royal of the lycan dynasty." Rhett lowered his body solemnly, but Khaos's expression didn't change.
He kept him around for a reason, because the cult could benefit him or it would give him more trouble in the future.
And the next day, the royal warriors arrived.
