Chapter 19: PRINCE KHAOS
Khaos.
He was the second child of the previous king from the second queen. Dacre and Xaden's
mother died nineteen years ago and the following year, their king father made Khaos' mother the queen.
From what Zuri heard, he was sent to guard the territory in the Three Deadly Ways as punishment two years ago, because he had committed a heinous crime toward one of the members of River Creek pack, her father's pack.
He would have ended up with a death sentence hanging over him if he was not from the royal family, but instead, he was sent to guard their territory for two long years.
They had met a few times before, but Zuri had never paid close attention to him. It was only now, in this close proximity, that she realized he had gray eyes. The color was so beautiful, especially when the light from the sun reflected off them. Like an array of light that pierced through the mist.
It was so bold of Zuri to stare even a little bit longer than she was allowed, but she snapped back from his captivating gray eyes when she caught him staring at her. The corner of his lips tilted upward, forming a smirk.
Zuri averted her gaze and sat down beside Xaden, she greeted the king and the queen.@@@@
Queen Rimera was pregnant, she was due in two months. This was her fifth pregnancy, yet she and the king remained childless, as she had been unable to carry any of her pregnancies to full
term.
She had three miscarriages and one stillbirth.
Somehow, Zuri could see her own future looking at her. In less than half a year of her union with Xaden, she already had one miscarriage.
"I will take my leave now," Khaos said, as he stood up. His voice was heavy and deep and this caught Zuri's attention again. She had tuned out of the small talk that had been going on until a moment ago, as it was merely exchanging pleasantries with no real issues being discussed.
Men wouldn't talk about important things in front of women.
"You don't need to leave in such a hurry, the Three Deadly Ways will always be there," Xaden jabbed.
Zuri couldn't gauge the relationship between him and Khaos. She couldn't draw a conclusion from this short interaction.
Zuri stood up as well. "You need to get some rest, my queen."
"I should stay with you," she said weakly, her face pale, as white as her dress. She was a lovely woman, weak and fragile, just perfect.
"There is no need for that, my queen, I will enjoy the scenery here while waiting for Alpha
Xaden to return."
Queen Rimera smiled. "You are free to walk around."
"Thank you for your consideration."
Xaden and King Dacre had left an hour ago to discuss something private, leaving the women
to enjoy the scenic garden filled with flowers and sip tea.
After Queen Rimera left, Zuri stayed there for another three hours, but Xaden didn't return. In the end, she decided to walk around the garden and venture further outside of the king palace.
She was walking on the sideroad when she saw a white wolf under a tree. She had never seen a white wolf before and her curiosity got the best of her when she approached the wolf.
The creature was bigger than a normal wolf. Its white fur looked majestic.
"You look even more beautiful than me when I am in my wolf form," Zuri talked to herself as
she stretched out her hand to touch the wolf's head.
"If I were you, I would not touch him."
Zuri was startled, she stood up and turned around to find a pair of gray eyes staring back at
her. "Prince Khaos?" She didn't notice his presence.
He tilted his head and smiled.
