Chapter 718: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (60)

Lou watched how well Iris and Cane worked together, or should he say it was the lycan... this was the first time for him to watch the lycan up close like this. Its body was almost monstrous with red eyes that looked like blood. A single look from this creature was enough to send shiver down your spine.

The lycan looked aggressive and despite its size, it could move very fast. This was the cursed creature Lou only heard about and the exact same creature that shook the entire continent months ago.

With this revelation, Lou had a lot of question to ask the alpha. He felt like he was going insane if he traced back about all the news the lycan had done, not to mention it was Cane’s assignment to catch the lycan! How he could do that when he was the one?!

Cane was insane!

Lou made the conclusion about him.

However, no matter how frightening and intimidating the lycan was, Iris didn’t seem to be scared of it. She actually approached the lycan, but when Lou tried to stop her, a glance from this cursed creature was enough to make him frozen in his place.

"Shift," Iris said softly, as she caressed the lycan’s muzzle. The lycan listened to her, but it was still Lu, since he had this red color eyes. "Can I have Cane back?"

Lu pouted when he heard that, he sulked. "Why do you always ask him?" he pursed his lips.

"What the hell!!?" Lou choked on his saliva to watch Cane made such face. This was even scarier than when the lycan killed the four Brinetallon in a mere second! "What is wrong with him?!!"

Lu shifted his attention toward Lou and this made the merchant felt better. He would rather face the angry Cane than... what the hell he was actually doing earlier?!

"This is Lu, the lycan." Iris tried to explain, since she could understand how weird it must be for Lou to see Cane made such expression.

"C- can you tell him not to scare me by making that expression again?" Lou felt that expression would hunt him for the rest of his life! Cane was pouting? Heaven! He had never imagined he would witness an absurdity in this precarious situation.

"Lu..." Iris held Lu back when he tried to approach Lou, his expression was furious and this actually made Lou think twice about his statement earlier.

"Can’t I rip his face? I don’t like it." Lu frowned. He finally shifted his attention back to Iris when she touched his face and made him looked at her.

"Lu, where is Cane? Can I have him back?"

Yet, Lu’s eyes fell on her stomach and a big smile appeared on his lips, as he knelt down in front of her and kissed her belly.

"Babies..." Lu placed his palm on Iris’s belly carefully, as if he was touching something precious and fragile, he was in awe and Iris didn’t have a heart to ruin this moment for him, while Lou had learned his lesson and shut his mouth.

The merchant was still trying to comprehend the situation and how this lycan took over Cane’s body, even after he shifted back into his human form. Was it mean, there were two souls inside Cane’s body? This was interesting, but mortifying at the same time.

"They are beautiful. They are beautiful like you, my sweet moon..." Lu kissed her belly again, while Iris gave in and caressed his head. His red eyes emanated genuine happiness. The lycan was way more expressive than Cane when he showed how much he was happy right now. "My lovely babies..."

This time, Lu put his ear on her belly and closed his eyes to hear the heartbeat of their little ones, he told her about it.

"It sounds like a little bird flapping its wings," Lu said with closed eyes. He sighed deeply.

Cane didn’t allow him to go out and the more he was in tune with his power and how he could grasp the way to control it, Cane actually could suppress Lu really well.

Yet, when Cane opened his eyes, they returned to the color of black. The assertive look on his expression was back.

Cane stood up and took Iris’s hand. "We need to go now."

Lou stared at Cane intensely, probably, this was the first time he paid very close attention to him to even noticed the length of scar on his face.

"Is it really you, right?" Lou asked dumbfoundedly.

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

"The only way for us to stop this assault is to close the portal!" Liam said, he was with Abby in the south shelter, he talked to Ethan and Koda.

"But, how to close the portal?!" Koda asked he looked furious. Just after he thought the throne was within his reach this thing happened. "What about your magic users?! None of them can do something about it?!"

"We need more magic stone! We have closed two portals, but it kept appearing, right now there are around nine portals that keep sending monsters!" Cedric explained.

The shelters were the safest places in the pack when you were under attack, but it didn’t mean, they were no longer in danger.

Of course, if the monsters managed to break into their line of protection, all of them would be dead, since people here were only a mere pack member.

"Can’t you do something?! You are a Serafim, right?!" Koda looked at Abby, who had been silence all this time.

"Where is alpha Cane?!" Liam asked to divert Koda’s question.

"We are looking for him and the luna!" Ethan replied, frustrated because he couldn’t find them in this shelter, while Aliana looked around with Eron and Dyne, just in case Iris was among these few thousand pack members.

However, they were not the only one, who looked for the alpha, because far inside the shelter, along with the other pack member and her personal maids, Laluna hugged her baby and looked around her, she was trying to get a glimpse of Cane, but it seemed he was not here.

Somehow, she would feel safer if she knew Cane was nearby, since she believed, the alpha is more than capable to turn things around.

Sadly, she couldn’t find him.

"Gather all the magic users here!" Abby ordered them. She had been silent all this time.

"What are you going to do?" Liam seemed to know what was in her mind. "Serafim, what are you trying to do?"

"I will call Sylphs."

"You will not last for long!" Liam said through his gritted teeth.

"Thirty minutes will be enough, during that time, they will be able to close all the portals."

"This will not do, Serafim, you are still recovering from the last time you called the Sylphs, more so, you have been treating the illness from the pack member," Cedric chimed in.

Koda scoffed. He couldn’t understand what the use of this Serafim to be here when she couldn’t do anything?

"In this situation, shouldn’t you immediately do what she told you to do?" Koda glanced at Abby with a disdain in his eyes, if it was not because of her title, he wouldn’t be careful when he spoke about this matter. "If you are here trying to protect her without doing anything and let the portal keeps opened, what do you think you are going to do when everything becomes very late to be saved? She is here to help, right? But, why did you keep forcing her not to do anything?"

"Watch your mouth!" Liam snarled at Koda.

It seemed by the time Abby showed how incompetent she was, the more people didn’t respect her at all and this agitated her. She was not going to let them treating her the way she was treated in the Holy Kingdom.

"Call all the magic users!" Abby snapped at Liam and Cedric. "Are you not going?! Are you trying to ignore my order?!"

Without any other choice, they had to follow the command and rushed to gather all the magic user.

Koda looked uncomfortable. He had a group of magic users too and he was on the verge of issuing an order for them to take care of this situation, but the Serafim was here and he couldn’t do that to avoid future trouble.

He had heard how weak the current Serafim was, but at this point, it saved to say that this Serafim was borderline useless!

"How is it?" Ethan asked Aliana and Eron, who returned with sour expression.

"No, I can’t find the luna anywhere." Aliana shook her head. "I hope she is in the other shelters."

Not long after, Dyne returned with Aderan. It seemed, he managed to get all the children and three alpha Nolan’s children with him here.

"Where is Grace?" Aderan asked, his expression looked very panic.

"I think Grace is in the other shelter," Aliana replied. "I saw her there earlier, she took care some injured warriors and knights."

"I need to get her," Aderan said hastily.

"What happened?"

"That woman is about to give birth..." Dyne replied in small voice. He couldn’t mention Della in the open, after all, she was the former queen.

"Giving birth? At time like this?" Ethan widened his eyes. "Can’t she hold it for a while?"

That comment received a hit on the back of his head from Aliana. "Where is she? I know what to do," she said in hurry.

Ten minutes later, the magic users that Abby called, came.

So did Cane, Iris and Lou.
