Chapter 398: IS SHE A RUNT TO BEGIN WITH?

Cane was on alert when he saw the sudden change in her expression. "What did you see?" He was clueless as to what Iris was going to say.

Iris bit her lips and stopped walking again. "The wisp."

"Wisp?" Cane instinctively glanced at his hands, thinking it appeared again, but there was nothing. It would ruin a lot of things if it appeared now under hundreds to thousands of watchful eyes. Deep down, he had this belief; as long as he was with her, the dark wisp would never appear. "What do you mean by the wisp?"

"I... I was... he was... he was touching me when I saw it..." Her tongue failed her when this disgusting feeling rushed back to her mind as she tried to recall that particular moment, when she revived the moment she wanted to forget the most.

If it was not for that weird thing and the feeling she felt upon seeing the wisp, she would have forced herself subconsciously to forget everything that happened to her, but that certain moment prevented her from doing so.

"What wisp did you see?" Seeing her reaction, Cane immediately knew which moment she was trying to talk about, thus he wanted her to focus on the wisp, instead of anything else. "You saw a wisp?"

Iris nodded. "The wisp was in the color of grey, dark grey..."

"It’s different from the wisp that came from me?"

"It’s different."

Cane’s jaw hardened. "Tell me more."

Iris tried to recollect her memories and only focus on the dark grey wisp. How the wisp took a wolf’s shape and how she felt when she saw the wisp. She felt this deep hatred and disgust as her instinct told her to kill it.

She didn’t know how to kill a smoke that was in the form of a wolf, but she did it instinctively.

"... it caused pain to him." Iris balled her fists to keep her emotions in check, until she could feel her nails embedding into her palms. "He was in pain."

Cane’s eyes dimmed slightly, as he watched how Iris was struggling to remember the details of that horrendous moment, but at the same time, he recalled Alpha Gill’s last moments. They tied him with silver chains to prevent him from shifting into his beast.

But, what was about the dark grey wisp that took the shape of a wolf? Was that... was that even possible?

Cane put his hand on the back of her neck, massaged her nape to let her relax a little bit and then dragged her back in the direction of their carriage.

"Where is Haco?" Cane ordered his beta to call the sorcerer earlier.

"He is at the back of the entourage." Jace glanced at their intertwined fingers. He had brought Haco, but because Cane had not yet called him over personally, so even though he came along, he tried his best to hide himself from the Alpha.

It seemed, Cane’s threat had shaken him so badly. Not to mention he had nowhere to go now and he was so afraid to be found cursing Princess Osana so, he relied on Cane heavily. Even though he was afraid of him now, he couldn’t leave him.

"Tell him to come inside the carriage," Cane said and helped Iris into their carriage, waiting for the sorcerer to come. There were a lot of things he wanted to confirm with him.

It didn’t feel right. The more Cane thought about it, the more he was sure there was something more to Iris. Now he doubted if she was even a runt, or a shifter to begin with.

On the other hand, Alpha Dristan and Koda looked at each other when Cane and Iris entered the carriage but didn’t leave. They came here to discuss this tunnel and the prospect of conducting business in the future between their packs, since only the Crystal Moon pack had a harbor in the south.

Cane would need an immense amount of resources to get this task done and the Red Claw pack was the richest pack in this continent, not to mention the two of them held the only two magic stone mines in this realm. The collaboration between the two would definitely shake the royal family, which would make even the King hesitate before doing anything reckless to either of their packs.

It would solidify the position of the Crown Prince from the Red Claw pack, giving the baby the strongest support he could get. This alone would shut the noisy voices inside the court, who were still against them.

The Crown Prince was indeed still a baby and had a long way to go before he could sit on the throne, but this would also give the King a reason to enjoy the crown on his head a little bit longer.

"What are they doing?" Alpha Dristan narrowed his eyes on the carriage. "Send someone to go closer and see if they could find something."

Koda nodded and went to get the order done. He glanced at the Alpha for a brief moment and greed lit up his eyes.

One day, he would be the King’s grandfather and he wouldn’t have to accept any orders from anyone anymore.

Meanwhile, it took Haco a little bit longer to get his ass to the carriage, as he dragged his feet to meet with Cane. He had heard that Iris had woken up, which meant he could keep his fingers intact. He had also seen her walking around fine earlier, but he still dreaded the threat from the Alpha. He knew Cane meant every word he said at that moment and that was terrifying.

"Took you long enough," Cane said when Haco finally entered the carriage. This carriage was spacious enough to accommodate six people inside and the decoration was very extravagant, since Alpha Gill was really into luxurious things.

While Cane and Iris sat side by side, Haco sat in front of them.

"I am already very old, I can’t walk so fast, my back is killing me, my vision is blurry. I am so weak now," Haco said pitifully.
