Chapter 592: THE LETTER FROM THE SERAFIM

The next day Cane received two important letters: one each from the Red Claw pack and the Celestial Moon pack.

Alpha Colter from the Red Claw pack informed him that the Serafim had heard about Iris’ healing ability and wanted his mate to meet her in person. The alpha’s letter came with a side note from Koda, where he asked Iris’ help to heal his great grandson because the Serafim failed to break the curse on the baby and if it continued any longer, they were afraid the baby wouldn’t make it.

After all, this little Vemion was the rightful future sovereign of this continent. Their opponent wouldn’t let him live for long.

On the surface, it would appear like Alpha Colter seemingly giving Cane a heads up about the summons from the Serafim, but there was no doubt it was Koda, who had suggested the idea to the Serafim and urged her to see Iris in person.

More so, if the Serafim couldn’t heal his great grandson, he must be clinging onto any hope he could find to save him. In this case, unfortunately, they heard what happened to Joel. It was predictable, since what happened to the young warrior created a little bit of uproar among the warriors, as they overjoyed for him.

Cane was not really happy with the letter. He could ignore Alpha Colter, since he owed himself a lot, but with the Serafim in the picture, it would be a bit difficult. Cane couldn’t take the risk of making an enemy out of the Holy Kingdom, unless it was necessary.

Meanwhile, the letter from the Celestial Moon pack mentioned about the recent aggressive monster attacks. The attacks became even more frequent and it was overwhelming, especially when the royals saw them as their enemy too, because they housed Prince Kellan and protected him.

Alpha Derick asked for help. He didn’t think the Celestial Moon pack would stand the vicious attacks by the monsters and the royals at the same time.

"Tell Alpha Derick to hand over Kellan to the royals," Cane said to Ethan, his voice turned deeper and darker. He didn’t even want to write the letter himself.

"You have suggested the same thing again, Cane." Ethan reminded him. "This is not the first time Alpha Derick asked this favor. He has sent similar letters a few times already." Though the wording was different, the gist of the letter was still the same.

"Then he should know what my answer will be."

"You will lose the Celestial Moon pack if you don’t help them." Ethan narrowed his eyes. "Or do you want to cut ties with Alpha Derick? He is your father’s old friend. You know how close your father was to him."

"And then he didn’t help us for a whole decade of our slavery," Cane stated it in a matter of fact tone.

"You know they have been battling with the monsters for their whole lives and Alpha Derick couldn’t send his warriors to help us. More so, it was too late for them." The distance was so great, in that case, they wouldn’t be able to come in time to be of any help to them.

"Not even a single person to check on his old friend’s family and pack?" The simple question shut his gamma up.

Sending a whole bunch of warriors would be hard, but sending a spy to check on them wouldn’t be that hard, right? After all, he had ten years to try and come up with something to give them a tiny bit of hope they needed in their darkest times.

Ethan said nothing, he understood what Cane meant by that. Tactfully, he didn’t pursue the matter further and did what he was told. He sent the same reply that he had written a few times, since the request from Alpha Derick was still the same.

The gamma didn’t hold any grudge against Prince Kellan, but he thought this was the best solution that should have crossed Alpha Derick’s mind, this should be his first option when the matter related to the monsters and the royal family had gotten out of hand.

The Alpha should have given up Prince Kellan to the royals in order to save his pack and Cane couldn’t send his people to help because he was stuck with taking care of all the southern packs, which was not a lie.

The next day, the letter from the Serafim arrived and the gist of it was what Cane had predicted. Iris was summoned to see her because the Serafim was wondering how a runt like Iris could have any healing ability.

"Tell them to come down here, because the luna is not in good health and can’t take a long trip down to the west. The conflict between the Red Claw pack and the Golden Light pack will make the journey too dangerous for her."

Ethan grimaced when he heard that. "This is the Serafim we are talking about, is it alright to straight up refuse her?"

They were in the training ground, Cane was overseeing the training of the three packs’ warriors, as this was their first time to train together.

The Howling Wolf pack warriors and the Bloody Moon pack warriors had bonded on their way to the Diandem pack, but the warriors from this pack seemed a little bit standoffish to accept that their pack had been taken over by a different alpha.

Without any words from the current king about Cane’s status, they still couldn’t accept the very alpha, who had killed their alpha to be their new leader, especially when Alpha Adrian’s offsprings were still alive. Though they were still little, they could wait for another year or two for them to be ready to lead the pack.

It was a tricky situation.

"Will she send someone to ensure my mate’s safety when we cross the territory?" Cane gave Ethan a look. He didn’t want to be refuted.

All the people in this continent knew that the Golden Light pack was not to be trifled with, where all the pack members were trained to be warriors, because they had been sending the people that filled the positions of the royal warriors for decades. It was not a simple task to fight them, they needed to be prepared for a full blown battle once they encountered them.

Knowing how overprotective Cane was of Iris, Ethan didn’t say anything anymore and immediately did what he was told per usual.

"Ah, Cane," Ethan said, he turned around and approached Cane again. "I forgot to tell you this."

"What is it?"

Ethan frowned, the next words were difficult for him. "Oliver’s remains have arrived in the pack, Kaz gave him a proper burial." There was still a lump in his throat every time he talked about Oliver. It would always bother him that they parted ways on bad terms.

"Okay." Cane nodded in acknowledgement and glanced at Ethan’s complicated expression, as he patted his back and walked away, as if telling him that he didn’t need to be bothered by that. Cane knew what disturbed Ethan’s peace, but the truth must forever stay a secret.

The letter from Cane reached Abby soon enough and she was not really happy with the rejection, though it did make sense.

"We can’t take the risk to cross the territory and put the Serafim in danger," Liam said to Alpha Colter and Koda. "You must send someone to get the luna here."

Koda and Alpha Colter were a little bit pissed off with this knight because he always talked in a commanding tone, and it didn’t sit well with their sense of authority with the positions they held in their pack.

Not to mention the Serafim failed to cure his great grandson, it tainted the image of the Serafim in Koda’s eyes.

"I will talk to Alpha Nolan to send someone to escort the luna." Alpha Colter broke the silence between them. "I am sure, he will be more than willing to help, after all, it has been a while since he saw his son in law."

From the territorial point of view, the Winter Moon pack was closer to the Diandem pack, thus it would save them the trouble to cross the Golden Light pack’s territory twice, if they sent their own warriors to fetch luna Iris.

"Alpha Nolan from Winter Moon pack?" Abby asked.

"Yes." Alpha Colter nodded firmly and Koda seemed happy with the solution.

Alpha Nolan was the alpha of the Winter Moon pack, which was the former pack of Aria and Leane, Cane’s destined mate.

"It will be a reunion for them," Koda commented under his breath and wrote the letter himself to be sent to Alpha Cane, once they got confirmation from Alpha Nolan that he would be the one to personally lead the warriors to meet Cane and his mate in the Diandem pack.

The letter reached Cane and he didn’t seem to be happy with it.

"They will be here within three to four days and the merchants from the Karam will arrive a week from now," Ethan said, pointing out the timeline. It was a little bit tight and he thought it would be a little bit hectic if Alpha Nolan came here when the merchants arrived, but there was one more problem. "Are you fine meeting with him?"

Alpha Nolan was the father of Leane and it would bring back memories from the past.

For a moment, Cane didn’t say anything, but then he told Ethan to prepare rooms for Alpha Nolan and his warriors.

"Where are you going?" Ethan frowned when he saw Cane walk away after he gave him the instruction.

However, the alpha didn’t answer his question and just kept walking away.
