Chapter 242: ZURI WAS IN HER LUCID MOMENT
Lorent was sitting under a tree. He stared at Zuri, and probably for the first time, Zuri noticed the exhaustion in his eyes, but she hated the pitiful look that he gave her.
"Why didn’t you give me to Khaos, you can ask for your mate back." Zuri cracked her knuckles, feeling a little bit fidgety. "What is your end game? Why do you take me to the Great Palace?"
Zuri realized that she didn’t have much time left before her mind demanded for the drugs. She could relapse anytime.
The drugs not only gave her an illusion of happiness, but it also numbed the pain in her stomach, the claws from one of Lorent’s warriors would glare at her whenever she cleaned them up. They must have taken a good chunk of her flesh, because her stomach looked very ugly now.
And that was how Lauren learned that she had lost her healing ability, which actually surprised him because every shifter was born with it. But then the curses must have been so powerful to strip the shifter from the gift from the moon goddess.
Lorent sighed deeply. "Even if I exchange you with my mate, do you really think Khaos will play fair once he has you and I no longer have a leverage? He could kill me right there and then and continue with his plan to do whatever with my mate." Meeting him was a suicidal plan in Lorent’s opinion. "I knew I am doomed the moment Khaos took away my mate."
"Why would Khaos take your mate? He has no reason to do that."
Lorent chuckled derisively. "I don’t know, probably because he couldn’t bring himself to complete the beauty blood with you, then he took the chance to complete it with my mate."
"Khaos will not do that." Zuri was still defending him.
