'Why did you hurt me?'
The question echoed in Khaos's head. He didn't hurt directly, but he didn't do anything when they hurt her.
The way she trusted him and the way she attached to him. The way she was obsessed with him… Khaos was sure that Zuri would have believed every word he said, even when he told her the sun rose in the west.
The connection between them was not real. It was an attachment between the Shell and the lycan.
However, her question settled in the back of his head along with her younger image when she hugged herself in the middle of the cold winter night.
Khaos didn't do anything that time and he didn't do anything to help her this time.
"You can't falter, Khaos," Caiden said, he grimaced with his own word. "You know this is necessary and important."
