Lou was supposed to be with Cane, because Iris had asked him a favor to keep his eyes on her mate, in which he begrudgingly accepted it, because when she pleaded with him, she looked like she was on the verge of breaking down and Lou hated it to see her very vulnerable and distress like that.
However, because Cane was within the pack fortress and the battle had not yet broken out, he didn’t to be so close with the alpha, being so close with him only gave him goosebumps.
And this news arrived, Cane knew Iris would hear it sooner or later, thus he told Lou to go to Iris and stopped her from doing anything reckless, as if he could predict what his mate would.
Though the alpha didn’t like the idea of Lou being close with Iris, but it was only him that he could send to her, since his warriors wouldn’t be able to stand her power.
Cane had expected this would come to this and his warriors were unable to stop her, but what he didn’t expect was; Lou actually helped Iris to go to the Goffa mountain!
Cane relied on how much Lou cared for Iris, despite how disturbing his desire for his mate, but Iris’s safety was priority for him.
Who would have thought Lou actually helped her instead?!
’I am not his running dog!’
That was what Lou told himself when he agreed to Iris’s request to accompany her to the Goffa mountain.
Right now, Iris was riding the horse with Lou, she was sitting on the back, while Lou ordered the warriors to open the gates.
They were confused and before they could have a better judgement, someone had opened the gates out of instinct, since it was an order from someone on their side and the merchant look in hurry. They only realized the luna was with Lou when the horse already passed the gates.
"What is going on? Is that the luna?" They were all confused.
Joel saw that too and immediately went to see Ethan, since Jace had gone with the alpha to the Goffa mountain, they didn’t bring a lot of warriors with them, since they learned their enemy only brought a handful warriors too to destroy the burial ground.
"Ethan! Gamma Ethan!" Joel rushed into a small meeting room in the fortress without even knocking first.
"What!? What is it?!" The gamma was immediately on alert, thinking the worse had happened. "Are we under attack?!"
It would be very troublesome if they were under attack when Cane was not here, he felt like he got a déjà vu if something like that really happened again.
"No!" Joel shook his head vigorously.
"What is it?" Ethan knitted his brwos. The way how panic Joel was, it looked like they were being besieged or something.
"No, they have not yet attacked us but the luna has gone to the Goffa Mountain with Lou!" Joel said, he explained briefly about what happened and Ethan groaned in frustration.
"Why there is no one stopped her?!" Ethan roared, as he went out of the room to issue an order to get Iris back. He couldn’t leave the fortress because the alpha and the beta were not present.
Another two people rushed toward Ethan and they were Aliana and Zephyr. They shifted into their human form at the same time, as their expression looked ashen, the pain only subsided when the luna had gone far away from them. They didn’t know how the luna could do that, but there was no need for explanation, as they had to get the luna back to the safety!
"You need to send warriors to chase after the luna!" Aliana approached Ethan hastily.
"I am going to do so!" Ethan said and then glared at Zephyr. "How can you let her go like that?! Did Lou help her to escape?!"
Ethan knew how Lou had unhealthy desire toward Iris, but he thought, he would put her safety above anything else, yet this happened.
"No, actually..." Zephyr then explained what had happened briefly and just like him, Ethan was gobsmacked that Iris could pull something like that.
"She can do that?" Ethan knitted his brows.
Aliana then chimed in about how she had witnessed Iris to put the other shifter in pain, but because she didn’t pay close attention to that, she didn’t think too much.
And yet, she shook her head. "It doesn’t matter now, we need to find the luna immediately before something happened to her!"
