"Alpha Cane, congratulation about the baby!" alpha Colter congratulated Cane, he patted his shoulder and gave a fatherly speech to him about fatherhood. Koda also did the same thing.
There was this subtle tension Cane could feel from Koda to alpha Colter. He was not sure how Koda would scheme against alpha Colter for his desired to intervene with his plan as the regent, but it didn’t take genius to say Koda wouldn’t let it slide, the information he got from Cane about what alpha Colter and Laluna were trying to do behind his back.
"Congratulation, alpha Cane! I hope this baby will have the royal golden eyes!" Koda congratulated Cane. The enthusiasm that he showed in his voice, didn’t reach his eyes at all. One more royal family, it meant, one more people to be a threat for the throne.
"Ah!" alpha Colter shook his head. "That’s right. What happened with the false claim must be very upsetting. But, I wonder why didn’t you kill that woman and the baby?"
"That’s not necessary," Cane replied coldly. They were trying to say there was a possibility of Iris was having another man’s baby and reminding him about Sofia in the same breath.
"Don’t be too soft. Such crime deserved death punishment." Koda tried to pat his shoulder like what alpha Colter did, but Cane moved away subtly, as if he didn’t see it coming and went away to approach the holy knights instead.
"I am going to talk about logistic with the other knights, I will leave the rest to both of you." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
With that, Cane extricated himself from a wasteful conversation. He had received a letter from Iris that informed him about how Laluna had learned about her pregnancy, therefore, he was not surprised when alpha Colter and Koda knew immediately.
He had sent an group of people to be with Iris, now the Aggeverya road had been secured, they could commute safely.
"Cedric!" Cane called the head of the holy knights.
"Alpha Cane." Cedric nodded politely to the alpha. "There is no problem here, our watcher said the enemy is taking the Winter Moon pack’s gates as their stronghold. There are no activities from there."
Cedric told him about a few more things and how they needed to be wise with their food supply. The four ships from Karam had been docked in the Chrystal Moon pack, because they couldn’t go back to their continent, since the sea had frozen faster than they expected.
This fact that Aliana used to make them quiet, as they had to spend four more months in this continent, so they really needed to drop the issue about the death of their merchants and accepted it as an incident during the battle. Aliana also put all the blame on alpha Gallot with the example of how he destroyed the black market.
Alpha Gallot would have coughed blood if he learned about this absurd accusation, since they didn’t even do anything to the merchants, he didn’t even know their existences.
"I don’t think they will try to do anything right now, they must be having difficulty with food supply. Keep watching."
At the beginning, Cedric was not comfortable to work with the shifter, especially when they had to work together in a battle. The strategy that they used were completely different.
More so, there was this stigma in his continent, where they saw the shifters less than human, since they had their beast side. They used to see them like an animal, instead of human.
But to Cedric surprised, Cane let him tried to use his method and as a result... two thousand holy knights were wiped off without mercy. His plan was completely failed.
’We are fighting against my kind, if you don’t try to understand the way my kind’s thinking, you will not be able to survive another battle against them.’
That was what Cane said to him. The alpha saw through him how his people looked down on his kind and underestimated their strength and intelligence, and the price Cedric had to pay was losing two thousand of his people under his command in a single battle less than two hours.
"What about the Serafim? How many people did she manage to heal?"
When the black rain stopped pouring down, there were many people became sick, started with the children and the elderly and now the knights and warriors contracted the same disease.
Even though the number of people, who became sick was not as significant as before when the black rain still poured down, the Serafim was still having a hard time to catch up. Many people died because the Serafim fell sick because she was too exhausted and slowly, the good image the pack member had for the Serafim, crumbled.
Gradually, it became an internal problem within Cane’s alliance.
"She has been resting for the last two days, because she overworked herself." Cedric felt uncomfortable to talk about this and Cane knew this, that’s why he continued the conversation.
One could say he was holding a grudge and he remembered very well, how these knights looked down on his kind.
