Khaos’s skin had burnt too, the power was still too much even for him as the lycan descendent, yet he didn’t even flinch.
“You are not going to give me back my mate,” Lorent said with resentment. He couldn’t believe it. He made such mistake.
He thought Zuri would be able to stop Khaos from completing the beauty blood or even to continue with the ritual, but it costed him his mate.
“If I am not going to get my mate back, you better to live without one too!”
And with that, Lorent took two steps forward, his bow was at the ready, as he had his arrow aimed at Zuri. He breathed in the power of the lycan, but he was a little bit far, thus the power didn’t overwhelm him, but it was enough to make his next shoot deadly.
Even though it was not as powerful as Khaos, but he could control the shadow too.
However, before he could harm Zuri, the shadow around Khaos’s body engulfed him and a second later his body disappeared, so did Zuri’s body.
And before Lorent could comprehend what was going on or where did they had gone, Khaos suddenly appeared right in front of him.
Khaos emerged from Lorent’s shadow.
“Do you want this power?” Khaos asked, he was very close, he looked like he almost kissed him. “Take it.”
This was Lorent’s back up plan. If he couldn’t get his mate back through Declan, then his other option was to take the power himself.
After all, this was one of the ultimate powers of the lycan, you could control the darkness. You couldn’t die, you are immortal and silver would no longer hurt you.
Nothing could kill you.
You would live forever.
“Take it,” Khaos said again, as he raised his hand and palmed Lorent’s face. This man had poisoned Zuri and put her into coma.
This was such irony…
Khaos was immortal now and Zuri’s time had stopped, which meant they could live forever, but with how she was right now, you couldn’t even say that she was actually alive.
And in the end, Khaos would be alone again.
Khaos was the last of his kind and after all the betrayal from his people and how he lost Zuri now, he would be alone.
He could trust no one.
Their intention was sound, but the way they disobeyed his order was enough to say they were traitors. They disregarded his word and went on with their little mission, thinking they knew better.
It would be his biggest mistake if he had to keep them. One day, they would do it again, once Khaos’s vision was not align with them.
They needed to be gotten rid of.
“Fuck you, Khaos! Fuck you!” Lorent screamed when the pain racked his body. “You are not going to get her back! Live your life with that pain for the rest of your eternity!”
Khaos let the power within him to be sucked by Lorent. He came closer toward him and not only did he touch him, which meant the great power within him, was channeled directly to Lorent, he let out the power that had gathered inside of him like a torrent of water, like a broken dam.
And within a few seconds, Lorent’s skin had burned. His eyes had bulged very big, they outgrew their sockets and then burst under the pressure.
Khaos didn’t even flinch when he watched how Lorent screamed, he thrashed his body, but Khaos’s shadow pinned him in his place. Blood spluttered on the lycan’s face, but he didn’t even blink at all.
“Arrghhh!” Lorent screamed and blood oozed out from his ears, nose and in the end, he was choked in his own blood.
Lorent died miserably.
He made a huge mistake by approaching Zuri and got his mate taken, but all he wanted was only to get his mate back.
In the past, when he learned what Terrence family had done to Giana, he used all the power he had to get her back and shield her from any harm, but the damage had been done and Giana would never recover.
Even so, Lorent stayed by her side. Not even once he was thinking to leave her.
And now, despite the evil thing that he had done to Zuri, his heart was still true. He only wanted his mate. He only wanted his Giana…
The moment Lorent’s heart stopped beating and he died in such horrendous way, as the shadow consumed him and was not even a bone was left behind, Gianna, who was miles away from Three Deadly Ways, could feel the pain of the severed mate bond.
“No… no… no…” She whimpered, shaking her head and when the agony came like a broken dam, she started crying, yelling, punching anything that she could get her hand on. “NO!”
She banged her head against the carriage walls, which made the warriors that guarded the carriage stopped walking and check on her.
“What’s wrong with her?!” One of the warriors looked dumbfounded. They didn’t expect to see her having a mental broke down like this.
She was usually very calm and used to talked to herself, but to see her was capable of doing something violent, shocked them.
“She is crazily strong! Get some rope to tie her up!” One of the warriors yelled at the other.
Giana couldn’t shift and to take precaution, they put silver bracelet on her.
“No…! Don’t! Not him! Give him back to me… please, I want him… Lorent! Lorent!” Giana cried, she tried to hit the warrior that held her down, she wanted to go out of the carriage and ran toward her mate.
In the end, they had to bind their wrists and ankles together or else Giana would hurt herself. By the look of it, they were pretty sure this woman would have killed herself if they didn’t stop her in time.
She cried and begged them to call for Lorent. She wanted her mate. She wanted to see him again.
“No… take me back to Lorent! Lorent!”
“Let me see him! No! Don’t kill him! Don’t do that to him!”
“Please, please… I will be good. I will be good. I will take the curse again, please, don’t hurt him… no…”
Giana hated it when they inflicted the curse on her. Her family was awful and it was only Lorent, who would shield her from the pain.
She only had him.
If she didn’t have him, she had no one.
In a way, Khaos was very cruel to separate them for his own benefit, but in the end, the Lycan had never said that he was a good person at all.
Khaos was always had this dark side in him, and right now, having to see his mate was ripped away from him was the reason that put his dark side came to the surface.
