Chapter 126: PEACEFUL SUNSET
Even those lycans in the past, who were involved in the project of beauty blood wouldn't go astray from their mate.
However, this time, it happened the Shell was also the chosen mate for the lycan. The last lycan in this realm.
What if I don't survive the beauty blood?
That was the question that Zuri wanted to ask to Khaos, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She felt better now after weeks of training with Gayle. She could vent out her frustration and anger in the training, giving her a media to not bottle up all of her negative emotions.
And one thing that Zuri also realized was the fact she would barely hear voices in her head or see dead people when she was focus on something and this made her felt good.
Zuri told Khaos about that, as she continued climbing the stairs.
"Good."
That was the only thing that Khaos said, until they reached the attic and you could see a big window from there that face the mountain and the woods behind the pack house. Currently, the sun was right behind the mountain, creating a long shadow over the woods.
"Come here, sit here," Zuri said, she tugged Khaos's hand to follow her to sit on the windowsill with her legs hang over the edge. The beautiful light of the sunset fell on her face and she basked in the golden color.
The ground that covered in snow glistened and the frozen river sparkled. You could see a vast area of the pack from here, as this was one of the highest places in this pack house.
Khaos sat next to her and she rested her head against his shoulder, while hugging his arm and he allowed it. Her scent was very fresh. It was the smell that would remind you of rainy days. It was soft and refreshing and gave you the feeling of peace and comfort.

Subconsciously, Khaos closed his eyes and breathed in her scent.
"What do you think?" Zuri asked. She loved this moment. A beautiful sight before her eyes and a man that she was comfortable with next to her.
"Peaceful."
"I know, right."
They stayed like that until the sky had turned dark and the wind became too cold for Zuri to bear, only then they went back to the dining hall to get their dinner.
But, later that night when Zuri was sleeping, Khaos felt Elijah's presence. He was inside the room and this didn't make the lycan happy to say the least.
"I didn't remember I give a permission for you to enter my room as you pleased," Khaos said to the darkness. The only light that illuminated this room came from the pale moonlight through the window.
And if it was not for the lycan's strong senses, no one would know the black magic user was inside the bedroom.
Khaos had Zuri in his arms, she snuggled against his chest, sleeping soundly. She didn't have a hard time to sleep now and her nightmare had ceased down significantly.
"My apology, alpha," Elijah said, but there was no remorse in his voice. Somehow, he sounded happy, because Khaos noticed him. Because it meant, Khaos was indeed the lycan. "I didn't mean to bother you."
"Is this how the cult shows their respect to me?"
Khaos was right not to trust them. No matter how close Khaos was with his beta and gamma, neither of them would dare to step into his bedroom without permission, but this magic user had the audacity to do so while declaring his loyalty to him.
"Please, punish me for my ignorance."
Khaos could hear the soft thudding sound, indicating Elijah had fallen to his knees and now he was kneeling down.
Elijah was standing at the dark corner of the room. He was only a silhouette and even so, his shadow blended perfectly with the darkness.
"What do you want?" Khaos didn't bother with punishment, since it would only give him satisfaction, since it was their weird way to get his attention.
"I want to inform you that Zuri's condition is extremely well right now, I have checked on her and I think she can handle eight curses."
"Are you going to kill her?" Khaos kept his voice level, but a trace of anger could be heard. Eight curses in one go was pushing her limit.
"I know her condition well, alpha. She will be fine."
If what Elijah meant with 'fine' was alive, Zuri would be still breathing, but aside from that, the cult didn't care less about her.
There was a long pause. "No." Khaos shifted and got up from the bed, he walked toward Elijah's direction. "That's too dangerous."
"Alpha, I was the one, who had put all the curses on her body and look out for any sign of backlash, I know her body better than anyone else."
Somehow, his statement irked Khaos.
"No." Khaos was standing in front of Elijah and the magic user could feel the anger that exuded from the alpha. "If you entered my room without my permission, I will assume that's an attack..."
"I will never..."
"An attempt of murder for the alpha will be proceeded accordingly." Khaos didn't even give him a chance to defend himself. "Understood?"
Elijah swallowed his words and lowered his head. "Understood, alpha." But, he had not yet given up. "About the curses..."
"Leave now, Elijah, or I am going to get rid of you in this instant."
Elijah didn't say anything else and suddenly his presence disappeared, he vanished into thin
air and this made Khaos narrowed his eyes. This was something he had never experienced
before.
The next day, the royal warriors were ready to attack this pack. Now they had reunited, their
number was triple and there was a high chance, they would be able to take down the fortress. It was only a matter of time before Silas took back the pack.
However, something happened that left them dumbstruck.
