Chapter 674: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (16)

"He’s gone, right?" Iris asked Aliana gloomily, she stared at the empty spot, where the lycan was last night. She thought, they could continue their conversation in the morning when Cane returned to his human form, but as it turned out, her mate had gone when she was sleeping.

"Luna, the alpha..." Aliana intended to coax Iris, but she shook her head to stop her from even trying to say anything to make her feel better.

"I am very hungry. I want to eat something." Iris stared at her bracelet, this was one of the gifts that Cane gave to her and she liked this one, thus she used to wear it.

"Sure, luna, what do you want to eat?" Aliana thought this was better. At the very least, even though she was sulking, it didn’t ruin her appetite.

"I feel like I can eat three whole chickens." Iris said it through her gritted teeth, as if she was holding a grudge against the chickens.

Aliana grimaced to see her expression. The alpha had really pissed the luna off. She wondered how he would make it up to her.

"I will ask the kitchen to cook for you, luna."

Once Aliana left the room, Iris got off the bed and then went to see herself on the mirrors, she had noticed her little bump and every time she saw it, it made her happy.

And this time was not an exception. Her mood was slightly better, she smiled to see her reflection on the mirror when she pulled her nightgown, to make it tight around her belly and saw her bump.

"There you are, little one..." Iris giggled to see it.

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

"They are here, Cane," Ethan informed Cane.

They currently inside one of the rooms inside Lou’s guild. The merchant was not there, as he arranged his people for the meeting with Redmond.

"Bring them inside," Cane said grimly. He was standing next to the window, where he could see the roof of the cave that covered by thousand luminous pearls, which illuminated the whole Black Market.

Ethan nodded and then walked out of the room. He returned with two people, who walked side by side, they covered their faces with the hoodie of their black cloak.

"Leave, Ethan," Cane said darkly the moment he saw the two people. He turned his body and then faced them.

Ethan patted one of these people’s shoulder on his way out of the room, as if giving some support for them and once the door was closed this person immediately fell to his knees, hit his head against the floor and pleaded with the alpha.

"Please, alpha, forgive me!" Aderan begged Cane. "Please, forgive my stupidity and recklessness, alpha!"

Beside him, the woman knelt down in front of Cane too, she was having a hard time to do so because she was currently heavily pregnant, which made Aderan worried about her.

"Alpha, please... we beg for your forgiveness."

She was queen Della, she shouldn’t have to kneel for her life, but right now, she was nothing. The tittle that she had could have her killed during the power struggle in the palace. She would be the first person, who was killed by Alan if Aderan didn’t take her away.

Cane stared at Della’s stomach. Without doubt, the baby was Aderan’s, but he wanted to be sure about that. "Who is the father?"

Della lowered her head and replied in timid voice. She didn’t look like a queen at all, months of living without any luxury must have worn her down.

"That’s my child, alpha," Aderan replied, but it was not him, who Cane asked.

"The baby is Aderan’s, alpha." Della’s voice was very small. She was embarrassed, not because she didn’t want to bear Aderan’s child, because admitted it, meant, she admitted the adultery she had committed with Aderan.

"How long are you?"

"Seven months, alpha," Della said. She covered her stomach out of instinct because of the way Cane stared at her, as if she was going to do something to her baby.

"Leave, I am going to talk to my warrior." Cane didn’t have any intention to put more stress on the pregnant woman.

At first, Della was hesitated to leave Aderan alone, but he reassured her and helped her to stand up. Aderan escorted her out of the room and returned immediately to face Cane. He was about to kneel down again when Cane spoke coldly.

"You will not achieve anything by kneeling down in front of me. There is something I want you to do."

Aderan straightened his back again. He looked so eager to fulfill the alpha’s wish, no matter what was that.

He realized his plan to ran away to Karam continent was not the best and if Cane could accept him and Della together, it would be more than great! He ran away from Cane because he thought the alpha wouldn’t accept Della because of the complicated of her background and her title.

But, Cane didn’t say anything about it and it was a good sign.

"I will do anything for you, alpha." This was Aderan’s way to show his gratitude. He should have at least, discussed the problem about Della first with the alpha before he decided to runaway. He regretted it...

The plan to meet with Redmond would happen in the Black Market, where Redmond would show up with the thing that Cane had requested him to get.

To be precise, they would meet in the backyard garden of the Rosantine guilds. Everything about the Black Market was not usual. This underground city was very large and was not affected by what was happening out there. Things were the same here.

It didn’t take long for Cane and Ethan to wait for Redmond to come because not long after, a carriage arrived and the red hair warrior jumped down from the horse that pulled a simple, plain carriage.

He opened it and from inside someone came out, they were wearing black cloak and their face was covered with hoodie, you wouldn’t know who it was, whether they were a woman or a man.

Their hands were tied in front of their body with a rope, which Redmond held the end of it and used it to make them moved. "Here." Redmond pulled the rope harshly, so the other person could keep up with his pace. "This is the person that you want."

Ethan stared at Redmond and then to the person behind him. He glanced at the alpha, whose expression didn’t change at all. Right now, there were only the four of them in the backyard.

Redmond walked closer to them with the person behind him.

"I have given him Rottingbane, he will not be able to shift. You can do whatever you want with him." Redmond handed the rope to Ethan, but at the same time he mouthed something to them.

If you never associated with Iris and tried to have a conversation with her, you might not be able to know how to read lips, but the three of them, could be said, very close with her and there must be some point, you learned how to read lips unconsciously.

After what Redmond mouthed, Ethan’s eyes darkened, his eyes fixed on the person that Redmond brought to them.

The red hair warrior continued to speak. "He is Hunter, alpha Gallot’s firstborn, the heir to the pack. Now, you got him, like what I have promised you."

Once Redmond said that, dozen of beasts emerged from their hiding spot, in a second they were already surrounded by enemy, but what worst was; neither Cane nor Ethan realized it, since they didn’t pick their scent in the air.

Upon the arrival of the beasts, Redmond immediately stepped back toward the carriage. "I told you, don’t trust me, right?" he said coldly and another person came out of the carriage as well. It was alpha Gallot.

"Well, well. It has been a while, since we met the last time, don’t you think?" Alpha Gallot got off the carriage and raised his hands to calm down dozen of beasts that surrounded Cane and his gamma. "Do you really think you can outsmart me, Cane?"

"Gallot," Cane called his name calmly, while Ethan was still holding the other end of the rope that tied Hunter.

They couldn’t be sure it was him, since they couldn’t see his face, but that was what Redmond said, and yet, that same warrior was the one who had ambushed them.

"Cane, I have to admit that I am impressed with your courage to come here. How bold you are to scheme against me to kidnap my heir?" Alpha Gallot guffawed. He shook his head to see there was no way for Cane to escape this. "But, you are still very naïve to think that a warrior from Blue Moon pack will be willing to do your bid. Where did you get the idea that he will not betray you?"

Alpha Gallot’s face beamed with excitement to see he could get his hand on Cane without even lifting a finger or even thinking of a difficult scheme.

"Well done, Redmond. Well done!" Alpha Gallot patted Redmond’s shoulder, who was standing next to him. "You can get your revenge on him now."

The more they talked, the more beasts emerged from their hiding spot, it seemed alpha Gallot had come prepared. He brought at least, fifty beasts with him.

Despite what he said, alpha Gallot needed to take precaution, just in case Cane found a way to escape. This was a golden opportunity for him to get into lady Cyan’s good grace.

"Yes, I will," Redmond replied simply.

"If you dare to take a step closer, I am going to kill your son!" Ethan roared when he saw the beasts crept closer to them, his claws emerged from the tip of his fingers, threatening to slit Hunter’s neck.

Yet, alpha Gallot simply clicked his tongue and looked at the gamma with pitiful look on his face. "Do you really think your dear warrior will bring you my heir? After you witnessed his betrayal?" He tilted his head and shifted his attention from the gamma to the alpha. "But, don’t worry, Cane. I have a surprised for you."

Cane had been silent all this time, he looked around him and counted the beasts that surrounded them, slightly curios why they didn’t have any scent, but then it didn’t matter much with their situation.

"I was very wrong to think my mistress can satisfy you," alpha Gallot said with a face sad tone that was nauseating. "But, right now I am sure, you will be satisfied with this one. Don’t you want to see the surprise that I have painfully prepared for you?" Alpha Gallot waved his hand, indicating for Ethan to pull up the hoodie that covered Hunter’s face, or so they thought.

It was Cane, who yanked the hoodie and revealed the person that Redmond brought to him.

A familiar face, a familiar smile, but outlandish pair of eyes. Those were the color of red, the color of blood. She smiled at him like she used to, talking to him with her sweet voice, in the same tone how she always whispered to him.

"Alpha... Cane." Aria moved closer to Cane, who was still taken aback with the sight of her and couldn’t react fast enough when she drew a dagger from her hips and stabbed Cane straight in his chest. "I really missed you, we can be together now. Nothing can separate us anymore..."

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

PRANG!

Aliana immediately rushed to Iris’s side when she heard the sound of the shattering glass, even the warriors came inside with panic look on their faces.

"What happened?!" Eron asked, he entered the room, followed by the other warriors.

Iris shook her head and smiled sheepishly at them. "I am fine. Sorry, I dropped the glass."

"You are bleeding, luna!" Aliana pointed it out.
