She would be fine in three days, but during that time, the darkness would be her company. This was one of the side effects of the curses, more would follow.
“I really hate you, Khaos. I hate all of you. I hate this life. I hate this world. I hate everything,” Zuri said, she stared at the distance, emptiness in her eyes. “I hope you get what you wanted and then
If it was not for the attachment, she felt toward Khaos, Zuri would have done something horrendous toward him. She wouldn’t allow them left unscathed after the hell that they put her through. She would hold onto her grudge and make them suffer the way they tortured her.
However, the attachment that she felt for Khaos didn’t allow her to do so. It almost felt like a mate bond and right now, she was being very dependable to Khaos.
She had no one else.
In the past, she had Khaos when she betrayed her father and Xaden, therefore, even though it pained her to hold onto him and the betrayal she felt toward her brother boiled her blood, she stupidly kept holding onto something she knew, something she was familiar with.
“I hope you and all the people with you, will never find happiness.”
After saying that, Zuri curled herself and fell asleep, she spent the rest of the day sleeping. She only woke up when she needed to relieve herself with Khaos’s help or when Khaos helped her to eat.
He didn’t say anything about what she said earlier and Zuri didn’t have the energy to hate him more than that. She had to deal with the darkness and the voices in her mind. She was tired.
There was one night, where she thrashed her body and cried so loud, Khaos had to literally pin her down to stop her from clawing herself. Blood stained the bed and Khaos had to carry her to the other room and let someone else to clean up the bloody sheet.
“I HATE YOU!” Zuri screamed on the top of her lungs, as she hit Khaos, trying to claw his face. She looked crazy. She was crazy because the voices in her head told her to kill him. Without Khaos, there was no need for beauty blood and she didn’t need to suffer again. “I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!”
However, when Khaos allowed her claws embedded deep inside his chest, Zuri startled, she immediately retracted her hand and then whimpered, feeling guilty because she had hurt him.
Her emotion was all over the place. She jumped from one emotion to the other, bouncing from her desire to kill Khaos and the guilty feeling to feel that way. It drove her crazy. The voices made her crazy. She was crazy.
“I am sorry, I am sorry… I didn’t mean to hurt you…” Zuri scrambled to her feet, trying to touch him. She couldn’t see him, but she knew the stickiness in her fingers was his blood.
“I am fine.” Khaos said, his wound had started to heal. He held Zuri, pressed her face against his chest, even though he knew it was too risky, if her emotion was not stable and she wanted to stab him again, she had a perfect access to claw his heart out.
Even so, he didn’t let her go, until she calmed down, but someone knocked on the door. It was Gayle.
“Alpha, the king is on his way here, he received a report about…” he halted for a while, looking for the right word to say. “The commotion.”
What he meant with the commotion was Zuri’s screams. She had screamed so loud, people could hear her in this pack house.
Hearing that, Zuri lifted her head, killing intent emanated from her body, as her dead eyes stared at nothingness.
“I am going to kill him. I am going to kill him. I am going to kill him,” she chanted the same thing over and over again.
But, Khaos patted her head and caressed her cheek. He carried her to the bed and give her a cup of water.
“Sleep, Zuri. You need to rest.”
“I don’t want to sleep, I am going to kill him and everyone in this pack house!”
However, once she finished drinking the water, sleepiness engulfed her and she couldn’t think of anything else. The water was given by Glenda, just in case if she couldn’t be controlled.
Once Zuri fell asleep, Khaos went out of the room just in time to see Dacre walked toward him.
However, little did he know when he left Zuri alone, Rhett entered the room. This was his pack house, of course, he knew all the secret doors inside this place. He knew how to sneak around the area. This house was his playground.
Rhett walked closer toward Zuri and stared at his sister’s sleeping face. Guilt gnawed at his conscience, but he knew this was something that had to be done.
“I hope, you will understand one day, Zuri. I love you, my sister, but this is necessary.” Rhett bundled her body inside the blanket and then carried her out of the room. No one knew he had come to take her, no one knew that Zuri had gone.

“Ah!” Nycta bit her lip to muffle her scream, she gripped the edge of the desk tightly when Killian thrusted her from behind.
The two of them were in the king’s study room, it was bold of them to do it in this place, but the thrilled of being caught was an addiction.
Sometime, it would be Nycta, who initiated it, but sometime it would be Killian, who suddenly pinned her to the wall and fuck her as if she was a mere whore that he found in a brothel.
There was no word that was exchanged between them, they had never discussed about it afterward, just sex and Nycta was enjoying it.
Dacre was the one, who introduced her to sex and now she wanted to explore more. She justified her action because in her mind Dacre did the same thing and it was not like she was cheating on him, she was being fucked by the father of her baby after all.
“Ah! Don’t… not there…” Nycta whimpered when she felt Killian’s finger on her arsehole, but he didn’t care. He did it anyway.
However, suddenly someone opened the door.
Both of them was in the throes of pleasure when someone entered the room upon hearing the muffle voices inside and to their horror, it was the royal beta.
“Wh- what…?” Leonard was lost for word when he caught the sight before his eyes.
The queen was bent over the table, but naked with Killian was standing behind her, mid thrust, half naked as well. Even blind people could understand what transpired here.
Pushing Killian away from her, Nycta scrambled to put down her dress, she blanched. “This… this is not how it looks like…” she stuttered, her mind was racing to find an excuse that could get her out of this situation, but she couldn’t find anything. “Beta Leonard, this is… this is not…”
The royal beta finally snapped from his shock when Nycta was already in front of him, she grabbed his hand and knelt down. Stream of tears on her cheeks, as she talked incoherently, asking for mercy.
“Please, don’t tell this to the king, this is a mistake. No. This is a mistake…” Nycta shook her head vigorously. All the pleasure that she felt just a moment ago and the thrill of being caught were not worth it. She dreaded her life now.
On the other hand, Killian put on his pants again slowly, his expression remained calm. There was no remorse whatsoever on his face.
“How could you do this to the king, queen Nycta?” Leonard swatted her hand that held him and this gesture put her in panic. She tried to grab his hand again, but the royal beta stepped back. “GUARD!” he shouted, which freaked out Nycta even more.
However, before the guards could come, Leonard pulled Nycta up. She was still the queen of this kingdom and if someone saw her kneeling down in front of him, they could draw a wrong conclusion.
Still, the four guards, who came upon his call, looked at the queen with confusion. Nycta looked like a mess. Her hair was not in its place and her face was so red because of the crying.
“Arrest him!” Leonard pointed his finger at Killian, who had dressed decently now.
The guards looked confused, but they did what they were told and approached Killian. The head warrior of the queen didn’t even put a fight, he followed them out. Killian didn’t even glance Nycta, but his sharp eyes fixed on Leonard, who glared back at him.
Meanwhile, Nycta lowered her head, she was too ashamed to even look at Leonard or Killian.

Dark. Dark and more dark. It was cold now. This was not the comfort of her room with the fire in the fireplace.
