Chapter 709: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (51)

"It’s still not too late, Cane." Aria watched Cane stared at the two heads of his spies around his feet with expressionless face. He was still this cold and callous person after all this time, even seeing his fellow people, couldn’t ruffle his calmness. "Come with me, Cane. You will not be able to win this war. I am sure you already knew that this war is not about the throne only."

For alpha Colter and Koda, they saw this war as a way to put the baby on the throne, it was all about power, but for Cane and the people from the Holy Kingdom, they knew there were more, there was something deeper and darker.

"Cane, come with me. Let me be the one, who saved you this time." Aria stretched out her hand, she took a step closer toward Cane because he didn’t give any respond. Decratic had promised him to her. He said as long as Cane was willing to come with her, he could make him wanted her, replaced the bond between him and Iris to be with her.

"I don’t need your saving, Aria." Cane bent down his body and took the head of Arthur and Mal. They had been looking for their bodies, but couldn’t find them. Now, Aria had brought back their heads, he could bury them in their pack. Took them home. "You are dead to me."

Aria couldn’t believe with how callous Cane was with her. He didn’t even spare her a glance when he turned around and was about to leave.

"Alpha Nolan asked for his son! You have gotten two of his daughters, now he demanded his son!" Aria tried to approach Cane, she had not yet done with him. "What have you done with his daughters?! Did you take them as your mistresses? Did you enjoy your time with them?! If you took them, you should return his son! Why are you being very greedy, Cane?!"

Aria felt her heart was swollen with anger and jealousy. She was very mad when she learned alpha Nolan sent two of his daughters to Cane, especially when it was Amara. She knew very well, how Amara resembled her previous missy so much. How could Cane refuse that temptation?

Alpha Nolan didn’t remember Aria immediately when lady Cyan took her to meet with him. Of course, why would an alpha, who couldn’t care less about his own daughter would care about her daughter’s maid? But, alpha Nolan learned that Aria actually had died, but being revived by dark magic. That was all he knew.

However, Aria stopped walking when Cane glanced over his shoulder, the coldness in his eyes froze her, it was even colder than this winter.

Cane put down one of the head and fished out something from his waist before he threw it toward Aria with an extreme accuracy, where the blade grazed her cheek and black blood oozed out from the wound.

"Give that back to Nolan."

That was the dagger that Amara gave to him, the same dagger Dexter gave to Nolan to ruin Cane’s eyes.

After saying that, Cane picked the head again and headed back to his people, leaving Aria alone there. She was still shocked after Cane threw the dagger at her.

Did he want to kill her?!

Cane had changed, he had changed so much! She couldn’t recognize him.

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

"Grace will come tomorrow, so we can check on the baby," Aliana said, as she prepared Iris’s lunch.

Iris became a little bit more relax with Aliana was here, because she didn’t need to worry about the food she was eating after she told her about what Laluna had been doing all this time, sending food to inviting her for having meal together.

"Will Cane come?" Iris put Lil Thing on her lap, she caressed its white fur. Its size was still so small, no wonder it was called Lil Thing, as it turned out, this was its original size.

"I am not sure, there is no news regarding the alpha whether he will come or not." Aliana sat down in front of Iris and reassured her that knowing the alpha, he would rush back to be by her side if he could. "He will rather be with you than to be surrounded by those bulky knights and shifters."

Iris laughed when she heard that, but then she heard commotion from outside the door and Lou’s voice travelled inside.

Currently, Iris was inside the white diamond tiger’s room and tried to make Ezra comfortable with Aliana too, but he was more interested with Lil Thing. Right now, he was curling himself on the bed, sleeping, but was woken up by Lou’s loud voice.

"I am really going to kick his ass!" Aliana groaned, she stood up and opened the door harshly. "What do you want?!" She asked Lou after she closed the door behind her, but to his surprised, Ethan was there too along with the other five Iris’s personal warriors.

"I want to see Iris! It has been two days since I arrived, how she can still ignore me?!" Lou was unsettling with the fact Iris was still angry with him with the children.

"What are you doing here?" Aliana stared at Ethan, bewildered. "Why don’t you take him away from here?"

"He is my back up!" Lou replied smugly.

However, to Aliana and the other’s surprised, Ethan’s answer was not something they expected. "Let him to meet with Iris, so he will stop pestering her."

"Are you, okay?" Aliana furrowed her brows.

"If you can’t let him enter the room, let me talked with Iris first." Ethan walked past Aliana and entered the room, but Lou was blocked when he wanted to come with Ethan too.

"Don’t you dare to back off from our deal, gamma!" Lou shouted.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Ethan approached Iris, who was sitting on the chair with Lil Thing on her lap, while Ezra watched him cautiously. He sat down on the chair across from her.

"Iris, can you meet with Lou for a while? He only wanted to explain about the children in the black market. Just heard him out for two minutes after that you can kick him out."

Iris felt off with the way Ethan was speaking. This was not like his usual cheerful self. He looked very different from the gamma she knew.

"Iris?" Ethan called her name when she didn’t give any response.

"Why are you angry, Ethan?" Iris asked after some time. She could see how restless and agitated his wolf spirit was, something was not right with him. He had been very quiet ever since they met again and she thought, he only exhausted, but now she could see it clearly that was not the case.

"I am not."

"Yes, you are."

"I am not."

Iris scrunched her nose because of how stubborn Ethan was. She had seen that expression when he looked upset when he thought he was going to receive death sentence from king Aeon. It was a memory from a year ago, but his expression was the same like right now. helplessness, agitated, annoyed, unsettling, anxious and a lot more.

However, Ethan tried to bottle it up.

Iris stood up, she handed Lil Thing to Ezra and approached Ethan, she stood next to him, who was still sitting on the chair. "I know you are angry and sad, but why? This is not the gamma that I know."

"I am still handsome."

Iris giggled lightly when she heard that and hugged him. Ethan didn’t reject her. It was nice to receive a hug when you really needed it, more so when he could feel how warm Iris was, he felt like the raging storm inside of him was calming down a little.

"I heard that. What kind of deal you have with him?" Iris caressed his head, as he closed his eyes.

"Cane will kill me if he saw this."

Iris laughed again and let him go. "Count this as me saving your life." She pulled her chair to sit next to Ethan. "Now tell me, what’s the deal?"

Ethan was reluctant to tell Iris about what happened and what he had done when he begged Lou to help him, but at this point, he felt this urge to tell her about everything, it had been weighing his mind and heart and once he did, everything came out of his mouth naturally.

About his worries, his fears, his anger and everything. Was this the feeling that Cane felt when he confided in her? Ethan wondered when he felt better after rambling some other nonsense, while Iris was only there, sitting and listening to him.

"I know he is annoying, arrogance and someone that I don’t want to associate with, but I couldn’t deny the fact he had helped with everything he had during that critical time. He risked everything to use all of his remaining power to help and no matter how annoying it is, I will be forever grateful for what he had done."

Ethan then glanced at the door and lowered his voice when he spoke again.

"Don’t even tell a single soul that I said that, okay?" Ethan shifted his attention to Ezra, who had been listening to the conversation. "Including you, understood?"

Ezra blinked his eyes and nodded, still hugging Lil Thing.

"I will talk with Lou if you promised me you will talk with Aliana."

"Is this a threat?" Ethan looked unhappy, but slowly, he returned to his usual self.

Iris shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "You can say so."
