Chapter 664: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (6)

"In the letter, Aliana only said they met with Alan, but there was something unusual about him." Ethan frowned, because he himself was not sure what actually had gone down when they left Diandem pack to the Bloody Wolf pack. "In the letter, Aliana said this person that looked like Alan could do... magic. He killed the four merchants by forcing them to suicide..."

Ethan’s frown even deeper with he recalled what Aliana had written in her letter the moment they arrived in the Bloody Wolf pack. She wrote in detail.

"She thought that was not Alan, because aside from having the same face, there was nothing similar between the person they met that day to the coward king." Ethan moved closer toward Cane, who kept silence. He didn’t talk much nowadays, aside from giving a few orders here and there.

They were in the waiting game and time was very essential at this moment.

"What do you think? More so, with the death of the four merchants, we will have more problem with Karam." Ethan reminded Cane about this fact. Even if they could get the grain for this winter, there was no guarantee, they could do the same next year after they learned about the death of their merchants.

Eventually, it would only add more trouble in their plates sooner or later. Things only got complicated for them.

"How is Iris?" Cane finally opened his mouth and above all the important things that Ethan had relayed to him and a lot of matter that could be potential issues for them in the future, the most important thing in his mind was still his mate.

Maybe if the world was about to collapse one day, the only thing that Cane cared the most still would be his mate.

"She is... still unconscious, but her condition is stable. The healer there told Aliana, she was only exhausted and she will wake up soon."

Cane nodded. "And the baby?" This was his second concern above anything else.

"The baby is also fine. In the letter... Aliana said..." Ethan grimaced, he was not sure if he had to inform this, but Cane would figure it out when he read the letter himself. "Iris happened to bleed, but the healer has concocted a medicine to make her womb strong, so the baby will not be in danger. Both of them are fine now, you don’t need to worry, but in that case, Aliana had to tell the healer about Iris’s pregnancy."

"Keep an eye on the healer. I want someone to monitor her all the time." Aside from Grace, Cane wouldn’t believe anyone else to perform magic on his mate, but the problem was; Grace was here and there were thousands of warriors that needed her and Cane had to keep his rationality intact, when his impulsive desire gnawed his sanity to send Grace straight away to the Bloody Wolf pack.

It would be complicated without the healer here during this battle and to send another healer to replace Grace, it would take times, since they were waiting for the next move. Everything had to happen in order and according to his plan, or else, miscalculated in his part would be the doom for the entire plan.

"Okay, I will send the reply right away," Ethan said and then he proceeded to focus on another important matter. "The Serafim and her knights will arrive in the Bloody Wolf pack in two days."

Cane took a deep breath. He had arranged this way and one of the reasons why he kept Grace by his side, because he had planned for the Serafim herself would come to see Iris for the first time. Though, she couldn’t lift the curse on Koda’s great grandson, but there must be something that she could do to help with Iris condition.

But of course, the event where they met with someone, who looked like Alan was out of his calculation. Who was that person?

Cane’s best guest was that problem involved black magic and Decratic.

Ethan told him that Iris managed to get rid of that man, where he vanished into thin air. But, Aliana was not sure, whether that man had died of simply disappeared and Cane couldn’t be more proud than this for his mate for being able to handle the situation well.

Though the aftermath, where she lost her consciousness was still worrisome.

"Alpha Nolan is still besieging the pack and the border warriors crept in. There were around a thousand warriors, who died on our side, but we will be really doomed the moment their reinforcement arrived."

"Who leads the reinforcement." Cane took the letter from Aliana in Ethan’s hand, he would read it more detail about what happened to Iris later.

"Our spy has not yet confirmed anything yet, but it seems someone from the capital."

It meant, it could be anyone.

"What about Red Claw pack?" Cane asked grimly.

"They are..."

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

Even though the dispute about the throne was between the royal and the Red Claw pack, but it seemed the attention fell on Cane instead.

It was understandable, since Cane was the real threat for occupying the whole southern area, while Red Claw pack only had this sick baby, who they pushed toward the throne. Once they lost the baby due to the curse, they wouldn’t have anything anymore to stand their ground.

"Why do you have to be cursed? Why can’t you be healed?!" Laluna was frustrated with her baby, but when little Vemion was crying, she cried as well. This whole thing was too stressful for her. "Please, don’t cry. I am sorry. I will not shout at you again."

Things had escalated very fast. Alpha Colter and Koda decided to use their a hundred of magic user to launch an attack to Golden Light pack first, knowing their warriors went out to the battlefield, thus the protection of the pack was not the best, despite their pack member were all a fighter, but they couldn’t stand a chance against this sneak attack that involved magic users. Mere pack members were not trained to fight magic.

Alpha Colter and Koda did what Cane had instructed them to do. After knowing what they had in their arsenal, Cane came with this idea.

He asked them to send the Serafim to the Bloody Wolf pack, so they could use the magic user without the Serafim’s knowledge. Since, it was prohibited to have the force of magic user. More so, with this Cane could arrange a meeting between Iris and the Serafim within his territory. This was important, because Cane didn’t want his mate to be outside of the area, he didn’t have any control over of.

And just like he had predicted, the Serafim welcomed the idea almost immediately, since she had been wanting to see Iris herself after what she heard about the luna from the Howling Wolf pack.

Up until this point, everything went well according to Cane’s plan, though there were a few hiccups here and there, but it was not significant enough to alter the whole plan.

"Lady Laluna! Lady! My lady!" Asa, Vemion’s wet nurse came inside the room, beaming happily. "We won! We won the battle against the Golden Light pack! We own the west kingdom!"

Just like Cane owned the whole south, Red Claw pack controlled the west.

"We did it?" Laluna was surprised, she thought the battle would stretch for longer than this, but apparently, it happened really quick.

"Yes! Yes, my lady! I just heard the warriors celebrated this!"

Laluna was beaming. She thought there wouldn’t be any way out for them after the betrayal of alpha Nolan from the Winter Moon pack.

However, Cane made it happened!

Laluna didn’t know the detail, but she knew alpha Colter and Koda followed his instruction and everything they prepared and did were monitored by Cane.

Koda told her all about it before he left to lead the warriors to the Golden Light pack after their passionate moment together. Laluna didn’t know how she could end up having such nasty relationship with Koda, but it didn’t matter now.

She was very happy because Cane’s plan worked. She really admired that man...

"Great... this is a great news...!" Laluna muttered under her breath. Her eyes lit up. "Tell me what happened in Diandem pack."

Asa grimaced and then took little Vemion from Laluna’s arms. The baby was currently sleeping. "I don’t know about that, my lady. I am not privilege to know about such thing, but from rumor I heard, the alpha has retreated, they are currently on the way to the Bloody Wolf pack, leaving Diandem pack under the besiege of alpha Nolan."

"They retreated?"

"I am not sure about this rumor..." Asa was not part of the warrior after all.

And while the two of them talking about uncertain thing, alpha Colter and Koda exchanged letter with Cane, waiting for his advice how to proceed with this and Cane’s reply was for them to wait and stand their ground in the Golden Light pack, until his further instruction.

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

On the next day Iris and her group of warriors arrived in the Bloody Wolf pack, Haco and the other also came, though they were late from the appointed time, but they could sigh in relief because they were fine, though they brought sad news about the two children, who didn’t make it and also the white bear.

"I don’t want to feed him! Who do you think I am?!" Sofia protested when she had to share her breastmilk with that baby orphan. She didn’t want her son to lack of food. "Find someone else to feed her."

"No one currently has a baby." Arthur tried to keep his mind calm when he talked with this woman, but she kept testing his patience.

"I don’t have enough for two babies!" Sofia kept refusing the suggestion.

"You have enough Sofia, you kept complaining that your breasts felt very tight because your baby was full." The healer in the Bloody Wolf pack pointed this out to them.

"Don’t be ridiculous! I am not sharing with orphan child!" Sofia frowned, though he had fallen into disgrace, but she had lived in luxury when she was alpha Gallot’s mistress. Her status surely above that orphanage.

Aliana stood up and then slapped Sofia so hard, she stumbled on her feet and fell to the ground. The healer and Arthur were shocked to see what Aliana had done, but no one stepped forward to stop her.

Arthur knew how Aliana was and the healer had seen how this beautiful woman could be very scary. Aliana was on edge when they came to this pack house with unconscious Iris and the healer had to deal with her aggressive side, until she reassured her the luna was fine and the baby as well.

"You don’t want to feed the baby because she is an orphan?" Aliana concluded Sofia’s refusal. "I will make your baby an orphan too if you don’t stop this bullshit right now. The luna might have softened up with you because of your baby and we tolerate you after the stunt you pulled for making a fuss about your baby being the alpha’s, because no matter what, the baby is innocent, but get down from your high horse! If you think you are above that orphan baby, you need to know that you are nothing!"

How dare she talked like that about the orphan children?!

Sofia was visibly trembling when Aliana snarled at her, she cradled her cheek. Aliana’s claws must have emerged by accident, because there was graze on her cheek that had started to heal.

"Breastfeed the baby, or I will force you to do that and believe me, you will not like it!" Aliana said through her gritted teeth.

She remembered her agony during those days, how she cried her heart out, whenever she had to throw away her breastmilk because her baby died. She didn’t even have a chance to breastfeed him...
