Chapter 395: IRIS WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT CANE’S PLAN

Ethan had told him about a lot of things, he had emphasized how the warriors had warmed up to Iris and how she helped them to read and write. They saw her in a new light now, especially when the relationship between her and their alpha turned out to be so great.

Cane openly showed how important she was to him and it was not the first time for him to stay with Iris when she did not feel well. The Alpha even brought her with him almost wherever he went, even for the secret meetings.

Yet, Jace simply couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that Cane took this relationship with Iris seriously, aside from him needing her because of the Blue Moon pack.

Not to mention the warriors.

They didn’t state it bluntly, but definitely, Iris was not their favorite luna. If there was someone else, they would rather choose the other person than the daughter of Gerald, because seeing her brought back a lot of bad memories.

They accepted Iris only out of respect for their alpha, nothing else. Most of the warriors back in the Howling Wolf pack shared the same sentiment as them, but the warriors that followed them to the capital city looked like they had a different thought now.

Last night, Jace overheard a warrior bragging about how he could write and read because of Iris.

Jace was flustered.

This entourage arrived at a vast area, where there were a lot of people, covered in dirt and dust. They looked so skinny, as if they only had skin and bones left in their body.

"Who are they?" Iris asked, she and Hanna stared at Ethan, waiting for his explanation, since he had been walking with them.

"They are all shifters. They must have been taking Rottingbane, which might have prevented them from shifting into their beasts."

"What are they doing here?" Hanna asked again with so much curiosity.

They had this kind of place back in the Blue Moon and the Howling Wolf pack too, but it was because the people there were working in the magic stone mines, while here, there was no place like that, so what were they doing here?

"Riverside pack didn’t have a magic stone mine, but they have been working on a crosscut between the Riverside pack and the Crystal Moon pack. Alpha Gill wanted to dig a tunnel at the feet of the Goffa mountain, so they will be able to cut down around two days’ journey from this pack to the Crystal Moon pack."

Crystal Moon pack, Diandem pack, Bloody Wolf pack and Silver River pack were on the other side of this mountain, so it was indeed a good idea to make a shortcut by digging a tunnel under the mountain to cut the journey to the other pack.

"But, isn’t it dangerous? Goffa mountain is full of a lot of monsters, especially at times like this." After winter, the monsters would be very active, Iris knew that much about it.

"Yes, that’s why, this project has not yet been accomplished even though it has been five years since it was started."

"Five years?" Iris was dumbstruck.

"Hm. Can you imagine how many people had died? Have you realized how many children are here?"

Iris didn’t realize that, but she indeed saw a lot of children, more than one would find on the streets usually.

"Alpha Gill had this sick idea to force the women to give birth to a lot of children in order to replace the people who died here." Ethan’s eyes turned dangerous when he spoke again. "Alpha Gill took all little girls, who are of suitable age to get pregnant, to the pack house. We found a lot of pregnant girls around the age of fifteen to seventeen there, all of them were pregnant."

They found them after they executed the five alphas. This shocking revelation barely touched the surface of the depth of their heinous and abhorrent activities.

Hanna clutched at her chest. "How do you know that? You just arrived." She frowned at Ethan’s ability to gather so much information in such a short period of time.

Ethan smiled smugly at her, which made Hanna regret asking. "Of course, because I am so capable at gathering information!"

Hanna and Redmond rolled their eyes at the same comment. "You know that much because you spent your time gossiping with that beta last night," Redmond said disdainfully.

"That’s what you call exchanging information!" Ethan retorted.

When the two of them started bickering again, Cane took Iris’ hand and walked with her, while Oliver talked something with Alpha Dristan and Koda, roaming around this area.

This vast land was almost as big as a magic stone mine, but they were so close to Goffa mountain, where Iris could see the tunnel Ethan had mentioned before.

"Cane..." Iris tugged his sleeve to get his attention. "What are you going to do with these people? You will stop this, right? They could all die because of this impossible project."

Cane looked at his mate and shook his head. "No. I will continue this." He could see the surprise crossing her features. "Digging this tunnel to make a shortcut to the other pack is indeed the only good idea Alpha Gill had."

"But, Cane... what about these people? You know the monsters will be so active at this period of time, right?" Iris was so anxious. She knew she didn’t need to remind Cane of this fact, since he must be well aware of it more than her.

"Right."

"They could die."

Cane stared at his mate for a while. "I will never promise to be responsible for everyone’s life. I will never be able to fulfill that promise, nor am I going to try."

Iris was shocked to learn that and just like what Cane thought, she was still that softhearted woman, despite what happened to her, but then she narrowed her eyes.

"What are you planning to do?"

Cane could see how she was trying so hard to figure it out. "Guess."

Iris frowned and she was indeed trying to think of what Cane had planned for these people that could benefit him.
