They named the baby after his father. Vemion. It was a devastating moment for Laluna to learn that she lost her mate because of the lycan only a few weeks before she was supposed to give birth to Vemion’s first child.
Not to mention everything fell apart after that moment. A lot of things had happened and Laluna felt like she was not able to keep up with the drastic changes that surrounded her life.
From losing her mate to be the mother of the future king of this kingdom and then the unrest in the capital city, where she had to leave and go back to her pack for protection. Only then did she realize her baby was being cursed and now they were so desperate to find a cure for her baby.
They were willing to do anything to save little Vemion, because this less than three months old baby held great power. He was the only valid reason for them to fight for the throne. Without the baby, they would be seen as a rebellious pack, as they would lose the case, the very reason why they were in hot water with the royal family.
It was not the baby they cared about, but the value he held. They cared about it the most.
Laluna felt ill to her stomach whenever she remembered that fact.
"Serafim," Laluna greeted her, as she curtsied with the baby in her arms, but Abby immediately stopped her, so she didn’t need to bend her waist.
"Let me check on your son," Abby said softly, she glanced at the baby, but she couldn’t find anything. The baby was currently sleeping now. There was no indication of dark magic on him whatsoever.
But then, Abby couldn’t determine the answer without doing a thorough check on the baby first. Her power was not strong enough to tell whether or not the baby was cursed by dark magic without any visible signs.
"Yes, please save my son, Serafim," Laluna said in a tone full of grief. She walked back toward Vemion’s crib and laid him there.
"Can you tell me what happened to him?" Abby needed all the information she could get to determine how to purify any dark magic, if the poor baby was indeed being cursed.
Laluna then told the Serafim about how her baby had been crying for hours to no end and would often have a seizure, which freaked them out. The baby would even bleed from his orifices.
"And this..." Laluna unswaddled the baby and showed his rash filled skin. It looked so horrifying on the little one. It looked so painful and Abby gasped in surprise. "What should we do, Serafim? Can you lift the dark spell? The people in the palace are so cruel to attack my baby."
Koda stepped forward and pleaded with the Serafim as well, of course, he didn’t forget to insert a few insults toward the royal family, so the Serafim would help more with their case.
"I believe you can lift the curse, right?" Koda said in an expectant tone, while staring at the Serafim, who was silent the whole time.
=========================
Iris was having a hard time finding Cane. When she arrived at the place where he was supposed to be, she was told he had just left a few minutes earlier, as if someone had told him that Iris was coming over and he left immediately.
No matter what Aliana said to reassure her that was unintentional, Iris knew Cane was trying to avoid her. Was he that mad at her, until he didn’t want to see her? Iris became even more frustrated. She went to the tent, where they were treating the injured people after the attack the last time.
Iris needed to do something, to distract her mind from thinking too much about Cane’s actions. She really regretted defying him, especially in front of his people. If she could, she would rather have Cane reprimand her and snap back at her when she didn’t oblige than to have him ignore her like this.
Iris felt so miserable.
"Cane, how long do you want to avoid her?" Ethan sighed deeply, as he watched Iris sitting next to Lil Thing. She caressed the white furred creature with a blank expression after she helped the injured people inside the tent.
The Gamma stood next to his alpha, who was stubborn enough not to approach his mate and chose to look at her from afar instead.
"I know you are upset because she didn’t listen to you, but shouldn’t you talk things out, instead of avoiding her?" Ethan asked, both his alpha and luna looked miserable and it affected him as well. He didn’t like this tension between them.
However, the truth was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, it was not only because of her action that made Cane become even more closed off, but also because of his recent decision. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
