Chapter 248: SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM

"Where have you been?!" Cane barked at Will when he saw him.

Aderan missed their assembly and caused trouble, and now what kind of trouble did Will bring to him by returning so late?!

Cane was not in his right mind now. There was a lot of rage and resentment that he was trying to hold back, so he wouldn’t inflict more damage. He suppressed those feelings, but he felt like he was going to explode anytime soon.

On the other hand, Will didn’t even flinch when he replied. "I am sorry, I am late."

Cane narrowed his eyes and saw the blood that stained his clothes. It was the blood from when Princess Osana slapped him and clawed him in the process. Seeing that peculiar thing, the Alpha closed his eyes and tried to rein in his emotions.

A sight of blood would never be a good thing.

"Leave us," Cane said to Aderan, he was done with him and now, he needed to face another one.

Aderan nodded solemnly and immediately walked away, ignoring his body that was still screaming in pain. He knew that he deserved this.

Once it was only the two of them in this small hall, Cane turned his body toward Will. His dark, bottomless eyes were fixed on him.

"What now?" Cane’s voice was so icy, you could literally feel the coldness when you heard him.

However, Will was already dead inside, not even the coldness of the winter night wind could make him shudder. He stared blankly into the distance, looking at nothing in particular.

Cane was able to see this peculiarity and as an observant person, he could say something dreadful had happened to him, thus when Will didn’t reply to him quickly, he waited, until he spoke on his own, just like when he faced Iris. He waited for them to do things at their own pace.

"Alpha, please allow me to leave the palace," Will finally spoke. "I can’t be here."

Cane narrowed his eyes. "Something happened to you?" He came closer, but Will took a step back instinctively, his facial expression changed slightly and Cane was very familiar with this.

They had gone through many gut- wrenching and sorrowful moments together. He knew Will a little bit better than the rest, that was why he took him as his personal guard, someone that he trusted his life with.

"Who has done it to you?" Cane asked through his gritted teeth, even rage couldn’t explain what he felt right now to see his personal guard looking like a shell of himself.

This time, Cane observed Will a little bit closely and found two things; a ring on his finger and a strand of brown hair on his shoulder, close to the stain of blood.

He moved quickly and grabbed his hand before Will could back away. He then took off the ring from his finger and the strand of hair from his shoulder.

Will winced, he fought the urge to shift and attack the Alpha.

Thankfully, Cane didn’t linger long, as he let him go after he took those two things and stepped back, giving him the space he needed.

Will saw what Cane took, his heart skipped a beat, he swallowed so hard and tried to speak in his trembling voice. He knew that Cane could tell who it was.

"Please, Alpha... don’t give me the same task that you gave to Aderan." He would take his own life if he had to repeat what he had done with Princess Osana.

Aderan seduced the Queen and gained information from her, but Will couldn’t. He couldn’t do that. He was not going back.

"Go to the town and stay with Leros and Clad," Cane dismissed him.

He would never do that to him. Aderan did that willingly because Queen Della was his destined mate. No one, aside from him, knew about this fact, but it was not the same case with Will. It would be a death sentence for him if Cane sent him back to her.

Hearing that, Will nodded, but he said nothing when he walked away.

Cane stared at his retreating figure until he disappeared in the dark. The two things were still in his hand and from a closer look, he knew whose ring was that. He saw it in the new year dining hall.

Princess Osana.

Her name would be carved along with the King and the Crown Prince’s in his never ending list. People that he would love to get rid off from this realm.

Cane wanted to make things impeccable and take it slowly, but it seemed he needed to speed up his plan before everything was unintentionally destroyed by his own men.

There was a lot of pain and he was too reckless to think they were fine, since they acted and conversed normally, as if those years had never happened.

He should have known that they would never be the same anymore, it was too early to assume they had finally healed in the span of a mere six months.

No different from him. It would be too farfetched to say that he could find himself again.

Cane turned around and walked toward one of the warrior’s bedrooms to find a quill and some ink, as he wrote to the sorcerer. He put the strand of hair inside the envelope along with the letter and a magic stone.

"Go with Will and make sure he is with Leros and Clad." He handed the letter to Aderan. "Give this to the sorcerer."

"Yes, Alpha," Aderan said in a small voice, he was still feeling guilty for what he had done.

And with that, Cane dismissed his personal guards, away from the palace. Things didn’t look so great in this place and when he was about to rub his face with his palms, he saw that dark wisp emanate from him again before he heard a soft knock on the door.

"Alpha, Sabian, Sir Lou’s personal servant, is here, he wants to relay a message from his master," Trion said from behind the closed door.
