Bab 31: INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS

"Are you trying to hurt me because you are hurt?"

Something about those words didn't settle well with Zuri. She was not hurt. Yes, people said she was crazy and she believed that. Even her own mate said that she was crazy for fuck's sake.

Well, technically, Xaden was no longer her mate, because she had rejected him. They were simply coliving because of the benefits this union provided them; the benefits shared by the two packs, not individual.

"You need to be able to control your expression," Khaos chuckled again.

Then, he did something that Zuri didn't think he would do. He raised his hand and patted her head. He patted her head! As if she was one of his pet wolves! And then walked away.

It was only a single stroke to her hair, but Zuri found herself trying to fight for control over her emotions. She didn't know why, but it caught her off guard and overwhelmed her.
