Chapter 434: THE CRYING MISTRESS

"What do you mean he is gone?!" Jace roared at Haco, which made the sorcerer jump in surprise. "He was with you! You said you were going to keep your eyes on him!" It would be a disaster if Lu walked about randomly. No one should know he was not Cane!

"I am sorry, but I did not do this on purpose!" Haco shouted back. He was annoyed with the lycan too. "I turned my eyes for just one moment, but in the next second, he already disappeared."

"How could you not realize he went out of the room?" Jace immediately went out of the bedroom, followed by Haco and Iris.

"I am not a shifter, okay? I don’t have great senses like you do!" Haco bit back.

Jace grumbled under his breath and asked the first guard that he met. "Where is Ethan?!"

"The Gamma went to the mountain, he went to bury the girl’s body," the guard replied. Right. Ethan had told him earlier about that. "Find the Alpha! Once you spot him, don’t engage with him, but tell me immediately, understand?!" The guard was confused, but he nodded his head anyway. "Tell the others about this as well!"

"Yes, Beta Jace."

With that, the guard rushed away to carry the Beta’s order, while Jace felt like his head was going to explode.

Jemma’s death didn’t really affect the pack, since they only knew her for a few weeks, only after Sofia arrived here. More so, she was not easy to be around and they tolerated her behavior only because she was Sofia’s personal maid.

But still, her death shocked them and left a bitter taste in their mouths, since this was the second death that happened in this pack after Aria and both of their deaths were related to their luna.

"Don’t you know how to find Cane?!" Jace hissed at Haco.

"No. Without magic stones, I am useless, remember? I can’t sniff around like you guys can," Haco was panting, he couldn’t keep up with Jace and stopped running altogether. Iris stopped with him as well. "I think if he disappeared, he must be looking for her." Haco nodded at Iris.

Jace halted his step when he heard that. "You are right. He must be looking for you."

"I guess so," Iris replied in a small voice, the lizard was still in her arms.

"He must be sniffing you around, it would be better if you don’t go anywhere." Haco voiced his opinion on this matter. "Why don’t you stay in your room for a while, so he can find you easily?"

Iris didn’t answer that immediately. She wanted to go see Hanna and look after her, but she thought this matter was way more important.

She didn’t go visit Hanna immediately because she needed to calm herself down. Seeing her getting wounded like that really aggravated her. She felt like a monster inside of her had been awakened.

More so, she knew Amee and Grace were there to take care of Hanna.

"Okay," Iris replied. "Jace, can you tell Hanna I will be there later. Tell her I am caught up with something."

"Sure." Jace nodded and then raced away to start hunting down his own alpha. Damn it.

Meanwhile, Haco followed Iris to the bedroom. Since he was not given any magic stones, it rendered him useless in this search for the lycan. He was without his powers after all. Those creatures could find him way faster by sniffing his scent.

"Iris, there is something I want to tell you," Haco said when they entered the bedroom. He glanced at the lizard in her arms and now he was very sure about this, but then, there were a lot of questions that surrounded the Serafim in the Holy Kingdom.

"What is it?"

=============================

Amee dragged Grace out of the bedroom, so Hanna and Will could have their time together to talk about their problems.

Amee didn’t know what happened between them because when they left for the Capital city, they looked so happy, as if they could get together, but something shifted inside Will and no one understood what it was.

Will was someone that you could approach easily, but right now, even Amee herself felt suffocated in his presence, as if he carried a dark aura around him, he looked... feral.

"Alpha?" Amee and Grace immediately halted their steps when they saw Cane and then lowered their heads solemnly to greet him.

Cane stared at Amee and then at Grace. That was right, this was the woman he had been looking for.

"You, come with me." Cane pointed his finger at Grace and beckoned her to follow him.

Amee frowned. She had known Cane for long, thus she could feel when there was something off with the Alpha, but then, she shook her head. That must be her own imagination.

She watched Grace follow the Alpha without having a single doubt with the way Cane acted strangely.

Meanwhile, most of the time, Lu laid dormant, he didn’t care with Cane’s plans and even when he was able to know what was in the Alpha’s mind, he couldn’t care less about that.

However, this particular matter was the only thing that interested him. Thankfully, he remembered his way inside this pack and Grace’s scent.

He led them to Grace’s study room, where the smell of herbs was very strong, which made Lu groan. He hated this smell.

"Where is that?" Cane asked, once they were inside the study room.

"Where is what?" Grace asked, confused, because she didn’t get what Cane wanted, since they didn’t talk about anything on their way here.

"That!" Cane raised his voice impatiently, which left Grace shocked upon hearing him. "That, the concoction you made from the water magic stones! Cane gave you a lot and you are supposed to make a concoction so he can reproduce!" His voice dripped with annoyance, since Grace was not quick enough to get what he wanted.

Those were the same water magic stones that Cane had ransacked from the black market.

If what Jace said was right, the reason for Cane to keep Sofia here must be along the lines he had a plan to get to Alpha Gallot through her. Not to mention the fact he had been sending spies and put a lot of attention on the Moon Dew pack and black market

It must be because he wanted the black market along with the hidden mine inside of it, not to mention Lou was wrapped around his palm. The merchant literally worked for him now.

Meanwhile, after hearing that, only then it clicked in Grace’s mind. "Ah!"

"Yes, that! Where is it?" Cane clicked his tongue impatiently. "You have been ordered to make this concoction before he went to the capital city, right? Don’t tell me you slacked off?" He crossed his arms in front of his chest now.

Meanwhile, Grace blinked her eyes, she felt so weird with the way the Alpha was talking, why call himself from a third person point of view as if he was talking about someone else?

However, seeing how impatient Cane was and how he glared at her, Grace didn’t dare to question the oddity and immediately went to get the concoction she had made before.

There were two bottles, one in the color blue and the other in the color black. Both were the size of an adult’s palm.

"Should I drink both?" Cane asked, he lifted both bottles to his eyes. This was the only thing that interested Lu the most among the lot of plots and schemes that swirled in Cane’s mind.

He tried to follow Cane’s way of thinking, but it didn’t take him long to despise it, because there were so many complications. When he was with Haco, the sorcerer only cared about mundane and simple things.

"No, Alpha, yours is the black one, while the blue one is for Luna Iris," Grace replied.

"What is this for?" Lu must have missed this information, because he didn’t remember Cane asking anything about making another concoction for Iris. Well, actually, it could be said he knew nothing about the vessel he was in.

Grace blinked her eyes, confused. "You are worried that Luna Iris can’t handle... mmh, she can’t handle you, so you want her to nurse her health and be as healthy as possible before you... mmh."

"Before I fuck her?" Lu asked in a matter of fact tone, as if he was stating that the color of the bottle was black.

"Mmh, yes," Grace said in a small voice. She felt embarrassed to talk about this with the Alpha, especially when only the two of them were here.

"Good thinking." Cane nodded, satisfied. "Good job! Go back to your work."

And after saying that, Cane left the room with the two bottles in his hands, whistling happily, which made Grace’s jaw drop. Since when did the Alpha whistle? What actually happened to him?

Meanwhile, Lu couldn’t care less about how stunned Grace was. Because right now, he was going to find Iris. They needed to start it soon, so they would know whether the concoction was working or not.

However, when Cane sniffed the air, his nose scrunched in disdain when he caught this particular scent as a person appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Alpha Cane?!" Sofia gasped loudly when she finally saw him. She had been trying to find him ever since the breakfast incident, but he would always be away during the day and came back so late at night, after she had already fallen asleep. "Alpha Cane, please, do justice for me..." Sofia cried again.
