Chapter 332: THE TRUE PERPETRATOR

"Shouldn’t we start investigating why the witch used dark magic on me?" Cane jumped straight to the point, as he established the fact that it was the dead witch, who actually used dark magic and the King or any one else couldn’t say otherwise. After all, it would make them look so stupid if they insisted that it was Cane who had actually performed black magic. "Whether she worked alone, or there was someone who ordered her to do it."

This time, Kade stepped forward, he was one of the King’s right hand men, hailed from the Celestial Moon pack in the north.

"My King, what Alpha Cane said is right," Kade said politely. The two of them had gotten closer thanks to the past relationship between Cane’s father and the Alpha of the Celestial Moon pack. Moreover, Cane had been active in all the internal meetings and always gave his two scents. "The curse on Princess Osana has made the public anxious. It will be good for us to discover the person behind it."

King Aeon felt this whole thing was simply ridiculous because he knew for sure the dead witch had nothing to do with the curse on Osana, but of course, he couldn’t say it out loud.

"My King, we need to investigate this matter thoroughly. If the witch had dared to curse Alpha Cane by using black magic and it has something to do with the curse on Princess Osana as well, it meant, there is a high possibility for the lycan to be connected to black magic!" Koda said. He stood a little bit far from the King’s party, thus his voice sounded so loud in this garden, until everyone could hear him. "There is still a chance for us to save the fourth prince and find the true perpetrator behind this whole mess! The person must be killed for their brazen act!"

King Aeon’s face darkened. The situation was out of his hand and escalated too fast. It became too wild and he could feel that he started to lose his control over the whole thing.

His intention was just to break the mate bond between Cane and Iris, so Nala could become his mate! Then, he would have one more person inside the Howling Wolf pack! But, what the fuck with the black magic, the curse on Osana and the lycan!? Why were all those matters tangled with his simple plan?!

He was at a loss for what he had to decide, to make things worse, his son had made him lose his face! If it was not for Cyan, he would have strangled Alan to death! It was so embarrassing to appoint him as a crown prince when he was so stupid! People could see it and he knew they always mocked him for his stubborn decision to keep Alan in his position.

"This matter is way more important, My King," the other two of his right hand men started to chime in as well. The importance of this matter eclipsed the insult that Ethan had hurled at the Crown Prince.

"King Aeon! Our Red Claw pack has shown you all the patience and support, but if you refuse to follow this lead as well, I will take this as an offense and assume you are intentionally covering up something regarding black magic and the lycan!" This time, Alpha Dristan spoke up. He was the alpha of the Red Claw pack. He stood firmly beside Koda and his warriors stood on guard behind him.

"What are you waiting for?! Why don’t you go over there and check that damned witch!?" King Aeon roared, he was enraged to be pinned in a difficult position.

What vexed him even more was; he couldn’t resort to power play in this situation, since it would offend not only the Red Claw pack, but the Howling Wolf pack as well and without Cane in the picture, the responsibility of this whole mess would be forced back onto his shoulders!

Two of the royal magic users immediately rushed toward the dead witch and it didn’t take them too long to confirm that their fellow magic user had casted black magic before her death.

On the other hand, Alan was fuming mad because once again, they forgot about his problem! They overlooked that the Gamma had insulted him! Not to mention an act of justice toward him, his king father seemingly was going to punish himself instead for creating a commotion.

Alan felt so agitated to be forsaken again!

"She has performed black magic!" One of the royal magic users declared.

King Aeon balled his fists tightly, as his claws stabbed into his palms, but he no longer felt any pain, as he was beyond enraged. Of course, he knew the dead witch had performed black magic!

However, what Cane said next made him even more mad.

"I am the victim of this and my people and I almost lost our lives because of the obtuse accusation of me using black magic!" Cane spoke so loud, his voice carried a trace of anger. "How can you not know that a witch in your ranks performs black magic?!"

The anger was directed at the head of the royal sorcerers, who was standing next to the King, but King Aeon felt Cane was cussing him out instead.

"My King, if someone by your side is so incompetent, don’t you think it’s time for you to reconsider his position?!" Cane was openly attacking the head of the royal sorcerers, but his anger was justified, since he was the victim of dark magic.

Meanwhile, as the Alpha spoke so loudly and brazenly, he was holding his mate’s hand, as if his life depended on it.

As for Iris, she let Cane hold her hand, though he held it too tightly and it started to hurt a little.

"My King, have mercy on us!" The head of the royal sorcerers immediately fell to his knees, followed by the other magic users, begging for forgiveness.

This was not a situation King Aeon expected at all! How did things turn out like this?!

"Scram! I will deal with you all!" The King was seething. "I will have your heads hung on the palace gates if you can’t find out who the person behind this is! How can you not know a traitor is within your ranks?! Imbeciles!"

Seeing that, Cane scoffed. He stood up and felt a little bit dizzy. He didn’t think he could keep his consciousness for long.

"How can you ask them to look into this matter when we don’t know whether or not there is another traitor among their ranks," Cane said and he got a vicious glare from all the royal magic users for that, yet he couldn’t care less about it. "I have a way to find the perpetrator. After all, you have given the responsibility to clean up this mess to me and I am very honored to finish my assignment."

King Aeon narrowed his eyes. "You have a way?"

All the sorcerer’s eyes were fixed on Cane, while they were still kneeling on the ground.

"Yes." Cane nodded confidently and then took Iris’ hand to make her stand in front of him. "My mate will be a great help for us to figure this out."

Iris was confused when all of them abruptly turned to look at her.
