Chapter 73: HOLDING THIS GRUDGE ALONE

"Brother, look! It is a huge tree!" Rora shook his body violently, as hard as a six year old could. "Wake up, brother Cane! You sleep too much!"

"Don’t bother brother Cane, Rora, he is tired," Edgar reminded his twin. He tried to pull her away from his big brother and make her sit down next to him, but she simply wouldn’t listen.

The little girl swatted his hands away and glared at him, which made Edgar grimace. Aside from their mother, he was more afraid of Rora than Cane or their father, because she could be so hostile when she wanted to.

"Wake up! Wake up! Look at the tree!" Rora literally screamed in Cane’s ear at this point and this finally jolted him awake.

Cane opened his eyes with a start and saw his sister giggling at the sight of his surprised expression.

"You slept too much! You need to wake up! Or else, you will miss the scenery."

Cane was stunned. They were currently inside a carriage. He remembered this was the twins’ first trip out of the pack house and both of them were very excited.

Cane wanted to have a carriage for himself, because he knew the two of them would make a fuss, but in the end, he was stuck with these two little devils.

"Look! Look outside!" Rora climbed into his lap and cupped his face with both of her small palms. She made him tilt his head forcefully in the direction she wanted him to turn to. "The tree is so big and beautiful, isn’t it?"

On the other hand, Edgar stopped paying them attention. He chose to stick his nose in the book he was reading earlier.

Out there, through the window, Cane could see a huge tree on top of the hill. They were currently moving past the Blue Moon pack on their way back to their pack after being two months away from their homeland.

They went to visit alpha Derick in the north.

It was fall, so the world looked more beautiful and the sky was almost the same color as the sun which slowly went down and left a red hue in the horizon.

"Yes, it’s beautiful..." Cane said. He didn’t realize it, but a tear fell down his cheek.

Roar frowned as she wiped his tears. "Brother, why are you crying? We are going home."

Cane felt his heart constrict when he heard that. "Yes, little devil, we are going home."

Rora grinned. "We are going home!"

And when Cane woke up, he was in his bed and the sky was so bright. It was noon and he was alone. There was no Rora or Edgar there with him.

He was alone.

After that day they went to the hill, Cane planned to return a day before their planned departure to the Howling Wolf pack. He would bring back his siblings and his son home. The place where they belonged.

Since that day as well, Cane and Iris would spend their time inside the library to find more information on the curse of the lycans. She also practiced how to distinguish the elements of the magic stones. For now, Iris started to grasp the difference between water and earth magic stones. It would be great if they could find a magic stone with another element other than these two.

"Good morning, Miss Iris," a guard greeted her on her way to the library. A few servants nodded at her politely and smiled warmly when they saw her. At first, it made Iris feel a little bit awkward, but after two weeks, she started to warm up to them as well.

Even though she was still reluctant to meet with the villagers, a stream of flowers would always come to her every day, which made Aria even more upset by that fact. She gritted her teeth every time she saw the guards take a new bouquet of flowers to Iris’ room.

People moved on too fast and forgave too easily, which made the mistress feel even more bitter.

On the other hand, Cane seemed to be so disconnected with Aria lately, since she became so stubborn and couldn’t see the whole picture. No matter how many explanations she was given, she was still stuck with her own opinion.

"Cane." Aria balled her fists. She stared at the alpha, as he turned around and looked at her, waiting to hear what she wanted to say. "I feel like you have left me behind."

Cane put down the book in his hand and gave Aria his full attention. "I can’t make a better judgment from a place of hatred and revenge, but it doesn’t mean I forget about everything that happened to us." He held her eyes, as she was trying to fight back her tears.

Aria didn’t want to live in that memory either, but she couldn’t let it go. The more she tried, the more she remembered what they had done to her and the more violence she wanted. She wanted Cane to treat the members of the Blue Moon pack the same as how Alpha Gerald had treated them.

She wanted them to suffer.

If it was not the pack members, at the very least, Cane had to vent out their anger on Iris, instead of keeping her close to him and making her the luna.

In a way, Aria felt like she had been betrayed. She didn’t like Cane with Iris and how he disregarded her feelings about this matter.

But then, if Cane turned into that person in her mind, what would be the difference between him and Alpha Gerald?

"I don’t want to live in those dark memories, Aria, neither should you." Cane could see the pain in her eyes.

"I will forever live in that dark memory, Cane. That’s part of me, part of you and part of us. How can you get rid of it so easily?" Aria was grieving. "I feel like I am a sinner to hold this grudge alone when all of you praise her for what she had done for us, forgetting about our pain." She was in pain.
