Chapter 121: THEIR LIVES DIDN'T BELONG TO THEM
Zuri was rather thankful the voices in her head had quietened down and her mind was clear enough to understand what Khaos told her.
The alpha didn't spare anything. He told her everything and answered all of her question. Rhett had asked to talk to Zuri and Khaos could tell what kind of conversation that he was going to have with her. It was not that hard to guess it anyway.
That man had been around long enough for Khaos to observe him. Rhett had this blind faith tendency to put the old dynasty above anything else, though it was still a mystery why he was obsessed to the dynasty that he was not part in it.
Everyone on Khaos's side was those people, who had been afflicted directly or indirectly of the massacre three decades ago, but from what Khaos knew, Rhett had nothing to do with any of it. Alpha Roland didn't even have any suspicion that the lycan still existed.
Rhett was indeed alpha Roland's son, so did Declan and Silas. And if they have any relation with the lycan, it might come from their mother's side, since there was not many information related to her. Their mother died years ago, when she gave birth to Rhett.
"If you manage to obtain the three lycan legacies, you will be the most powerful shifter in this entire realm. You will rule the world." Zuri shifted in his arms. "Do you really need to rule the world. Is that what you wanted?"
Zuri asked after a long silence in the end of Khaos's explanation, she looked at him with her big eyes, her cheeks hollowed and her body was very fragile. Within a few months, she had gone through drastic change.
"This continent belonged to the lycan dynasty. There were so many bloodbaths in the past and there are so many people are holding grudge because of the fallen of the old dynasty. Revenge is the only thing that keep them going."
"Is that what you wanted?"
"I born with this duty. This is my responsibility."
"So, this is not what you wanted," Zuri concluded.
Khaos knew what Zuri wanted to say. "It doesn't matter what I wanted. This is responsibility that I have to fulfill."
"You live for someone else." Zuri looked sad when she said that and Khaos was rather upset, because he knew that was true, but thing was complicated for him. "You don't have a say in your life."
"You are not different from me, Zuri." Khaos added. "In both senses, we are the same.
Khaos was right, their lives were not their own and ever since they were born, they had been directed to the direction that people around them wanted.
With Khaos was born as the last lycan, he was expected to carry the hatred and revenge from the previous generation and for Zuri, she needed to meet a certain standard to prove herself was worth it, since she was born as a woman.
Their lives indeed didn't belong to them and they had very little say in it.
"Where are you going?" Zuri looked panic when Khaos got up from the bed and let her go. "Did I say something wrong? I am sorry." She immediately sat down.
Khaos didn't know why, but her words upset him more than he expected, yet he couldn't leave when she looked like she was about to cry.
"I need to take care of something." Khaos pressed a kiss on her forehead. "I will be back later."
Zuri clutched his sleeve, she fought back her tears. "Can't you stay with me? I don't want to be left alone."
"This is important matter." Khaos patted her head. "Don't do anything harmful and try to sleep. I will not happy to see you hurt yourself."
Zuri clutched his sleeve tighter, but Khaos freed himself with ease and she could only see him walked away from her, disappeared behind the closed door.
She stared at it for so long until her body gave in and she laid down, ignoring the voices in her head and closed her eyes. She hoped, sleep would come easy for her and once it happened, she wished, she didn't need to wake up again...
Meanwhile, Khaos went to meet with Lucas, he had been locked inside this small room for weeks by now and for someone, who used to roam around freely, being restricted like this drove him crazy.
"Get me out of here!" Lucas yelled at Khaos the moment he entered the room. Like usual, he would lean his body against the closed door, giving Lucas zero chance to run away, not like he could run far from the lycan's clutch.
"Behave," he said impassively.
"What do you want?!" He screamed at him, glaring at the lycan furiously.
Khaos said nothing, but he turned around, he was about to leave the room when Lucas frantically stopped him.
"Fine! Fine! I will behave. I will behave! What do you want?!"
"What do you know about Gaia?"

"Who is Gaia?" Lucas looked confused. "The only Gaia that I know is the former luna of this
pack, alpha Roland's first mate."
Luna Karina, Zuri's mother, was alpha Roland's second mate.
"Yes, that woman."
"She died when she gave birth to Rhett and she came from this pack, Aryandel city." Lucas tried to find in his memories about that woman, but there was nothing much. "That's all. She was not someone important. I don't have much information about her."
Aryandel city was the city that was led by Elder Erik, that was the elder that Zuri had killed that night in the palace.
"I want you to get more information about it and the city."
"Fine." Lucas didn't know why Khaos was interested, but working out there was way better
than being locked here. "But, I want to see my little brother first."
"You will see him once you get me a satisfactory information."
This time, Khaos didn't close the door when he left.
