Elijah almost lost his faith on the alpha and he started to think that Khaos didn't trust them and was not fully thinking of them as part of his plan, his future dynasty, the future of the lycan's kingdom, that's why Khaos's request to do the ritual caught him off guard.
"What about tomorrow?" Elijah tasted the water. He wanted to see if the alpha would refuse to have the ritual in such short amount of time, but to his surprise, he agreed.
"Tomorrow then." Khaos nodded and then left the magic user. He knew that Rhett and Elijah had been anxious with his attachment to Zuri, thinking he wouldn't have a heart to see it until the end.
Their faith on Khaos started wavering and the alpha pulled them back, playing them in his palms. He didn't let them close enough to him to entrust them with top secret, but he kept them at arm length, so he still could use them when he needed their strength.
