Chapter 119: HER SITUATION IS GETTING WORSE
People were happy when they saw the food supplies, but it didn't last long when they saw the sight of a hundred thousand royal warriors that besieged the pack's fortress. They were terrified.
"What are you going to do with this situation now, Khaos?" Caiden asked casually, as he spotted Silas and Luca, the royal gamma, in the distance. "We should have let Zuri killed him, you know. He turned to be a trouble."
"You stopped her." Khaos reminded him.
Caiden cleared his throat awkwardly, forgetting that part. "It's a pity I stopped her too fast. I should have come a little bit late so she could finish the job." He averted his gaze from Khaos when he said that.
The two of them were currently standing at the fortress, watching a beast approached the gates. He must be the messenger, there was no need for a smart person to know what kind of message that he had with him.
It must be none other than a demand for Khaos to surrender the River Creek pack, as if it was his first intention to come here; to claim the pack as his. Dacre had painted him that way and now he relished in the support of the people in this kingdom. He saw Khaos as a greedy alpha.
But, obviously, their opinion would soon change the moment their hunger strike. People was as fickle as that.
"So, do I need to start calling for our reinforcement?" Caiden tilted his head. Their initial plan was to stretch things out as long as they could until their food supplies ran out and spread rumors about how the River Creek pack had an abundant food supply.
However, Khaos had not yet made the final decision related to this, especially with a lot of things happened and they discovered new things about the beauty blood.
"There is no need for that." Khaos smirked and Caiden knew he had come up with something and usually, it wouldn't be good for their opponent. "Call Rhett to see me."
"Rhett?" Caiden was not happy. "Are you going to give him a big role in this?"
"He is very desperate to prove himself worth it, so why don't give him the opportunity?" Khaos saw the look of displeased in Caiden's eyes. "You are still my favorite." Khaos patted his head and then walked away after reminding him to call Rhett to see him.
"Don't talk to me as if I am a puppy!" Caiden grumbled, he brushed his hair roughly where Khaos had patted him, unhappy.
Meanwhile, Khaos went to check on Zuri, she should be eating right now. He was going to have a serious talk about her eating habit.
However, when he entered the room, he found the food had scattered on the floor and Zuri was rocking herself back and forth. She murmured something under her breath and tilted her head to the side, as if she had someone there sitting with her, talking to her.
"Zuri?" Khaos looked at the food on the floor, some was still on the plate. "What are you doing?"
"Khaos!" Zuri immediately rushed toward him and hugged him. "I have been asking around, but no one saw you, where have you been?"
"Who are you asking about me?"
Zuri pointed her finger at the direction where she was sitting earlier. "Them."
"Who?" Khaos narrowed his eyes because he couldn't see anything, or anyone in this matter.
"Them. Ann, Annie and Emma." Zuri frowned. "Couldn't you see them? They have been helping me to ask around where are you, but they said they couldn't find you. They also told me that the food was poisoned, so I couldn't eat it. We were discussing of how to find you and tell you about the food when you entered the room."
Khaos glanced at the food once again and then cupped her face between his palms gently. "There is no one there, Zuri."
"No, they are there... can't you see them?" Zuri was adamant. "You see them, right?" She became agitated. "If you don't see them, it meant I am crazy. Tell me you see them!"
"There is no one there." Khaos wiped angry tears that fell on her cheeks. She was very upset.
Zuri turned her head again and looked at the three girls that she claimed was there and started to describe them.
They were on the same age as her and had long beautiful black hair. "They also like the color of grey, like me."
"Zuri, you described yourself."

"No. No. No!" Zuri shook her head profusely, she backed away from Khaos and then looked at the same spot again. She stayed like that for long before finally the realization really hit her. "There is no one there."
"There is no one there," Khaos confirmed that.
Her hallucination was getting wild now after the last three curses that was inflicted on her. She should be fine if she had her medicine regularly, but the medicine didn't really help now.
"What happened?" Rhett asked, he entered the room and then found this scene. He looked worried when he saw Zuri was crying so hard, while Khaos hugged her to calm her down.
"The hallucination is getting worse," Khaos said, he explained the situation to Rhett, as Zuri buried her face against the crook of his shoulder. She didn't want to see Rhett, or probably, she simply didn't want her brother to see her like this.
"We need to amp the dosage of her medicine."
That was the only solution that Rhett could come up with, he then went to find the healer, yet there was another problem here.
"We can't amp up the dosage, because it will affect poorly on her body." The healer knelt down and then pulled up her long sleeves, you could see how bonny her arm was. It made you grimaced. "She might survive the curses, but if this keep going on, her body will not be able to endure the medicine."
