Chapter 178: THE ALPHA WAS BEING OVERLY PROTECTIVE
Zuri curled herself against Khaos’s chest with one of her legs tangled with his under the blanket and the other poked out. Her long, black hair spread on the pillow and her lips were slightly ajar, as she snored softly.
After their meeting, Zuri was too exhausted to stay awake and fall asleep almost immediately. She made an excellent plan to get the golden stamp and right now, she deserved all the rest she needed.
Khaos put his hand on her hips and could feel a little bit of meat there. She was still skinny, he was still able to feel her protruding bones, but at the very least, she put on a little bit weight, instead of losing it.
[Khaos, I need you to come out for a while,] Bryden mindlinked him and the alpha carefully entangled himself from her.
But, Zuri was startled, she was awake and looked at him sleepily.
"Sleep, I will be right outside the door, there is something I need to discuss with Bryden." Khaos caressed her head and kissed her cheek.
Zuri made a cute noise and closed her eyes again, but through the mate bond, Khaos could feel her annoyance toward the beta. He regarded her with another kiss on the lips before he went out and meet with Bryden.
"What is it?" Khaos closed the door behind him. The corridor was empty, thus they could talk freely.
"We know what happened to our man in the palace." Bryden scrunched his nose. "He was caught. He is in the prison now."
"Did Dacre know? He is too calm for someone, who knew about it."
Bryden shook his head. "No. He was not caught because they knew he is one of our men, but because he was caught having sex with the queen. It was the royal beta Leonard, who saw them."
