A Mate For The Last Lycan-Chapter 289: THE COMFORT

There was one way to help with Zuri’s dire condition and Dezgar came up with the idea. Obviously, Khaos would agree. The lycan would do anything and choose whatever option he had to save his mate.

And that option was to kill Zuri’s wolf spirit.

Dezgar would put all the brunt on Zuri’s wolf spirit. Not only did they erase her memories, they also made sure, she wouldn’t be able to shift into her beast anymore.

Zuri didn’t need to shift into her beast. In the new life that Khaos had prepared for her, she was not a shifter, only a normal human, the wife of the merchant.

His wife.

She was his mate and now she was his wife. Whatever the circumstance, she would always be his.

"Zia..." She tasted the word with a frown. It felt strange for her... she still couldn’t recall what her name actually was, but she was sure it was not ’Zia’.

This man lied to her, but she couldn’t prove it otherwise, since she was unable to remember anything.

"You are confused because you forget who you are..." Khaos approached her and hugged her carefully as if he was holding a precious thing, he was afraid that he would break her, knowing he was more than capable of doing so.

Right now, Khaos had better control over the shadow. He could hide it from her. In her eyes, they were only two normal merchants, a couple, who travelled together.

It was not hard for Khaos to create such life, since his alternate identity was a merchant. He indeed handed over the lycan’s treasures to Bairone, but even without that, he had built his own empire on the other continent.

"Gale..." she said, calling his name.

"Hm?"

"That name doesn’t suit you..."

Khaos laughed when he heard that. She could be very random with her comment. "So, what do you think is the name that suits me best?"

She yawned and leaned her head against his shoulder. "I don’t know... something old like..."

"Like what?" Khaos coaxed her gently before she fell asleep.

"...something like... something chaotic suit you..."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. A second later, Dezgar entered the room. He was the reason she felt this sudden and strong feeling of sleepiness.

"We can’t completely erase her memories. It has been rooted deep in her mind." Dezgar approached them, as Khaos laid her down on the bed.

"Do your best to make her feel comfortable," Khaos said. He kissed her forehead and stepped back, letting Dezgar do his job to make this reality more real for her.

The magic user sat down on the edge of the bed, he took her hand and immediately felt Khaos’s sharp glare on the back of his head. If he did something wrong, it went without saying that he would be one of Khaos’s ’collections’.

Yet, Dezgar couldn’t help it. "You know that you are deceiving her, right? This is not exactly what she wanted."

Because Dezgar didn’t get the answer, he gathered his courage to turn his body around and looked at the lycan. His expression didn’t change, but there was this unreadable emotion in his red eyes.

"She has been manipulated her whole life and you are going to do the same to her right now."

"She will not survive alone."

Dezgar nodded when he heard that statement. Khaos was right. "You are right. At this point, she will not be able to survive alone." But he added. "Even so, it doesn’t mean you don’t manipulate her."

Khaos knew that.

However, he couldn’t let her go...

He could give up everything, literally everything... but not her... it would never be her...

"She is willing to be manipulated by me." After all, she was well aware of that. She knew he used her and was willing to go on with that fact...

She chose to stay with him.

That was her fault for choosing to be with him, for thinking he was the better option and now Khaos would never let her go...

As selfish as it sounded, as bad as it might be, he wouldn’t let her go.

Mate bond or not, she was tied to him for the rest of her existence, even after that...

***

"... should I change my name if you didn’t feel it?" Khaos asked, he played with her hair, as they heard the sound of the sea.

Currently, they were outside, blanketed by the night sky and dark ocean. She snuggled against his chest, while he hugged her tightly. She looked a little bit pale.

It had been eight days they were in the ocean and she became sick of seeing the water that surrounded them.

’I don’t want to travel by sea anymore.’ She said that one night after she finished her food, whining about when the weather.

"Will you change your name for me?" she laughed and Khaos loved it whenever her eyes lit up and her smile looked genuine.

Before this, Khaos thought he already knew about her, but now when he saw her smile without the burden of the past, he learned that this was the first time he saw her real smile.

"I will give up a whole kingdom for you, let alone a name." Khaos gave her a mischievous smile, which made her laugh even more.

In her eyes right now, without the memories from the past, Khaos was being flirtatious with her. She didn’t remember him, but she started to learn how impish and playful this man could be.

Only if she had her memory, she would remember this was how Khaos when they met for the first time. He was not always very serious whenever he was with her.

"Will you go with Draven?" she asked, with a challenging tone.

"That’s lovely." Khaos kissed her neck. "Do you want to change your name too?"

"No, I like Zia."

She started to get comfortable with him even without her memory...

Or mate bond.
