Chapter 326: THE LUNA WANTS TO SEE YOU

Iris looked at Lou, smiling politely at him, as she fished out a magic stone from her pocket. Cane gave her some before he went. She then gave the magic stone to Lil Thing, which munched on it happily, just like a puppy when it got a treat.

"I don’t think you are allowed here, Sir," Avid said, as he stepped forward and stood in front of Iris.

"Of course, I am allowed to be here. I am here under the command of the King. My project to create the magical devices involves this orphanage as well. If you have any objections, you can complain to the King himself," Lou said smugly. Not all what he said was a lie, but that was not fully true either.

"You create magic devices to prevent monsters from coming closer, but why are you walking around with one?" Trion pointed to the white bear.

"Lil Thing is not a monster, Lil Thing is my pet," Lou said, looking offended on behalf of his cute pet.

Trion scoffed disdainfully to see the merchant’s antics. "This is not a place where you can bring a monster as you like. There are a lot of children here. It’s not safe for them."

"Oh, please," Lou sighed dramatically. "Can’t you see how adorable my pet is? Lil Thing has a soft spot for children and children love it." Lou grinned. He pointed his finger at the children who had been following him and the white bear around, waiting for him to give them permission to touch Lil Thing again like the last time.

Knowing this white bear wouldn’t hurt the children, Iris took the initiative to call them over, at which they rushed toward them, chirping happily to touch Lil Thing that was currently busy enjoying the magic stone. It let them climb on top of its body without so much of a retaliation whatsoever.

Seeing this, Avid and Trion’s lips twitched. What kind of creature was this white bear? It was too friendly to be called a monster.

Meanwhile, Iris and Hanna swiftly left as the children started a fuss to climb on top of Lil Thing and nuzzle its thick fur.

Above them, the sun was almost set and the sky already assumed the color of red. Though the weather was slightly warmer and the wind was not so cold, Iris would prefer to sit near the fireplace to warm her body.

"Hey, where are you going? We have not had any conversation yet!" Lou said loudly, as he tried to go after Iris, but Avid and Trion immediately barred him from walking closer to their luna.

"Sir, our luna is very tired, you need to leave her alone, she needs to rest," Avid said sternly, while Trion looked at the merchant unhappily. It was clear to see that this man had come here with the intention of getting close to their luna and from what he heard, this man had tried this kind of trick a few times already. He would make sure all the warriors knew about this, so they could take necessary precautions against this merchant.

"I am sure she will be able to handle a few minutes of conversation with me," Lou was adamant. Seeing how Iris walked further and further away with her maid, he really wanted to knock off these warriors, but he couldn’t afford to make a scene here.

"Leave our luna alone, Sir, she needs to rest, her physic is not so strong," Trion said and this made Lou click his tongue.

Why were they using almost the same excuse as their alpha? At this point, didn’t they realize they were overusing it?

Meanwhile, Iris was unable to hear the commotion behind her, nor did she turn around to find out what was happening. Trion and Avid would be more than capable of handling Lou, and Hanna didn’t even bother to tell her missy.

A week passed uneventfully while Iris spent her days waiting for Cane to return, but it seemed he needed more time to be away, while the new moon would be in five days from now. Iris was worried he wouldn’t make it back before it happened. She dreaded the possibility of the lycan running rampant if Cane couldn’t control the cursed beast. It was also still a mystery how Iris could appease the lycan.

"Is there still no news?" Iris asked Trion at the end of their study session. Each warrior had a book in their hands that they would need to read in order for them to practice, because Iris would ask them questions later. Not only that, she also gave them homework, so they could self- practice in their spare time.

"They still can’t find any clue on the lycan and people from Red Claw pack were adamant for them to stay for another day, so they can look around the area more thoroughly," Trion let Iris know, while Ethan pretended not to hear that.

Trion didn’t know about the fact their alpha was the lycan himself, thus it sounded a little bit silly for him to hold this information and watch how distressful the other warriors were on behalf of their alpha. The Gamma actually felt bad letting them have such unnecessary concerns.

"Oh, okay..." Iris was looking for the news about Cane’s return, but it seemed, it wouldn’t happen anytime soon. She had been very quiet when she was not teaching them or playing with the children.

As for Lou, after what happened the other day, the warriors made sure to stay with their luna round the clock, keeping the merchant away from her every time he came to visit again. Luo would always find the Luna busy teaching the children, or her being surrounded by the warriors when she taught them, which left Lou with no room to talk to her.

He only complained how she was wasting her time by teaching lowborn people like the warriors how to read and write. All the warriors like them only needed to know how to fight well in battle, which made all of them growl and glare at the merchant dangerously.

Knowing he wouldn’t have a chance to have a private conversation with Iris even when Cane was not around, Lou gave up and stopped coming to the orphanage altogether.

Post that, two days passed in a jiffy, and it was only three days before the new moon. Iris was worried sick that Cane had not yet returned, while Ethan was trying to find more information over what delayed them.

Only on the next day, they heard about the fact that the Alpha, Koda and a few warriors from the Red Claw pack were actually already in the capital city and they went straight to the palace, because the King demanded their immediate presence.

"I think our line of communication has been intercepted," Ethan said with a trace of annoyance in his voice. "It must be the King who had done this," he grumbled.

"I want to go back to the palace," Iris said. She too left the palace as soon as Cane departed.

However, inside the palace, even before Iris arrived, Cane got news his mate had been waiting for him in their chamber.

"The Luna wants to see you, Alpha Cane," one of the guards approached Cane once he walked out of the King’s study room.
