Cane had expected them to ask for this meeting, but the fact it happened right away after Rei arrived was pretty interesting. Why he was in hurry?
Yet, the reason was very simple and Cane was only overthinking the whole thing, since he was trying to minimalize the mistake he might make.
Decratic, the Holly Kingdom people, the Serafim, the Elders and now Rei. All of them were the people that Cane wished would stay away from his mate.
"Where is luna Iris?" Rei asked after a brief introduction that was led by elder Xarex.
"She is sleeping," Cane replied curtly.
Aside from being more annoying, because he acted like this was their first encounter, Rei still looked the same; with his golden hair, green moss eyes and the appearance that look like he was only over twenty three years old, his steps were so light like feather, as if he was floating instead of walking.
Cane really wanted to smash those feet. The sight of him alone already got on his nerves and his scent was very disgusting. The alpha could feel the lycan within him shared the same sentiment.
"I would love to see her after so many incredible things she had done," Rei said with enthusiasm.
His personality slightly changed. He felt off and more manipulative than the last time they met. Also, from what Iris told him, he was not like this when they met the first time. At that time, Iris described him as a quiet young man, who didn’t talk much.
Cane wondered if every time he did the ritual, the person whose body he claimed would affect his personality too.
"I can arrange your meeting with her, but you need to get in line, since there are so many people wanted to see her too," Lou chimed in, which made the elders were not happy about it, because the merchant had nothing to do with this.
Rei focused on Lou, their eyes met and the former gave the latter harmless smile, which made Lou shuddered.
"Please do," Rei replied, unbothered. "Now, can we discuss about how to handle Winter Moon pack after our success attack?"
Rei didn’t look like he had any indication to acknowledge the meeting that happened months ago in the Goffa mountain and Cane chose to play along with it.

"Our?!" Lou blew his top after the meeting. "How he could keep saying ’our’ when he was not even there when the attack happened?!"
"Talking about that, you were not there too when the attack happened," Jace quipped. "In that case, you are on the same boat with him."
Hearing that, Lou gave the beta a nasty look, but he quickly regained his composure. "I did not join the attack because I have more important mission."
"You can’t call sticking up with the luna when she was well protected as an important mission." Jace scrunched his nose at the merchant.
Their meeting earlier purely only talking about what they would do next and surprisingly, Rei was cooperative enough to make things smooth. He agreed with some of Lou’s suggestion about what they would do next, while Cane kept it to himself.
Most of the time, the alpha was silent, observing the situation and let Lou did the talking, since the merchant was already aware of what Cane’s plan was. Therefore, his suggestion aligned with Cane’s interest.
