Iris’ eyes lit up when she read what Cane said. Her mate was actually trying to test the waters. Even after he told her they couldn’t save the diamond white tiger, he still put an effort into getting the poor boy, though Iris knew better than to let her hopes high.
On the other hand, Alpha Dristan and Koda laughed awkwardly hearing such a request. After all, the white diamond tiger was such a treasure in their opinion. It was almost on par with the magic stone mines, albeit the value of diamond and magic stone differed significantly.
A diamond was not as expensive as the magic stone, but still, it was an easy item to be sold.
"I believe the opportunity I gave to you will surpass a mere white diamond tiger by several times."
Alpha Dristan spoke in a light tone. "I know, the opportunity you gave to our pack is worth more than that." But then, his expression became troublesome. "But, the mother of the white diamond tiger had died and currently, he is the last one of his kind. He is very valuable to our pack."
"More than the opportunities for our cooperation in the future?" Cane tilted his head, his expression turned serious. "The baby is still not born yet and even if you manage to make him a crown prince, it is still a long way to put him on the throne. You will need more allies during that time."
Hearing what Cane said, Alpha Dristan and Koda’s faces darkened. It sounded like a threat from the Alpha of the Howling Wolf pack, but then Cane’s stiff expression softened, as he smiled slightly.
"If my mate is happy, I will be happy too, but if it’s too much, I will leave it at that." Cane nodded at the two of them, took Iris’ hand and then left. He said what he needed to say and it would be a good thing for them to reconsider it, since they had seen firsthand how capable Cane was and it wouldn’t actually benefit them if they upset him. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
They had witnessed how Cane had single handedly fabricated everything and schemed against the King brilliantly, he was not someone that you wanted to be your enemy.
Cane showed them his value and he wouldn’t stoop so low to beg them for anything.
On the other hand, Iris was slightly disappointed because the two men didn’t give any reaction even when they started to leave, yet there was another important thing she needed to be worried about.
Iris looked up and saw the sky had turned so dark. In the distance, the bells rang, indicating it was already midnight.
"Cane?" Iris was startled when Cane picked her up and rushed toward a quiet corner, where he put her down and fell to his knees. He let out a low and dangerous growl. He started to shift into his lycan!
Iris looked around, she was afraid someone would walk past them when he did not fully shift and realize it was Cane.
She grimaced when she saw how much pain Cane had to endure during his transformation. Ethan had told her that Cane used to feel immense pain during his shift, even when he stayed in his lycan form, but it was way more bearable for him when she was close to him.
Even so, Iris still could feel the pain Cane endured right now. She knelt down and tried to soothe his pain by caressing his cheeks.
And soon after, it was the lycan standing before her eyes.
