Cane realized something was completely wrong the moment he heard his people were currently marching to the mountain not so long after Avid left.
"Who is leading them here?" Cane asked. He stared at Alpha Dristan, the aura around him changed all of a sudden, even Iris could feel the tension in the air and how suffocating the atmosphere was.
"I don’t know," Alpha Dristan said. He was stunned to see Cane right now, as if it finally hit him so hard. They had walked straight into a trap and at this moment, they put themselves into a dangerous situation. He shouldn’t have brought only two warriors with him.
He should have sensed that something was fishy when he saw how the royal warriors kept coming to join the hunt.
"I don’t know, the communication was cut off. That’s the last news I got. I think my warrior is too far for the mindlink to work," Alpha Dristan said, looking distressed. After all, he had only one warrior left with him, while Cane had nine. Even so, their numbers were ridiculously insignificant compared to the royal warriors that were now surrounding them.
"Or, he has been killed," Cane said in a callous tone, almost certain that was what happened.
Alpha Dristan’s jaw hardened when he heard that. He pushed aside his new mistress, as her presence didn’t help with the situation. "Do you have a plan to get out of this place?" He glanced at Iris. "You know this place so well, right? If things go out of hand, you must know how to get out of this mountain safely, right?"
This was the King that they were talking about, if the King decided to kill them right there and then, there was no way someone would be able to retaliate, without their alphas, the two packs would most likely fall into the King’s hands.
Not to mention the two of them were the Alphas of the only packs that had mines. Something that the King had been salivating to swallow.
This was a bad idea, Cane should have been more careful and mindful, but he had been reckless and a little bit distracted recently.
This was the reason why he couldn’t slack off, something slipped off his mind and he missed to see the signs, now it was their lives that were at stake.
He had been careless and did not think this matter carefully, and Lady Cyan took the advantage when he failed to see her plot.
Were those people the warriors the royal warriors managed to provoke successfully? But, Cane had faith in his people’s loyalty. Did he think of them too highly?
But, it had been just a day since it started, it was impossible to turn anyone this hostile with only a few words.
What was actually happening?
"Control your expression," Cane said curtly, before he turned around and walked away to talk with the nine warriors, who came with him.
