Chapter 922: THE SERAFIM’S LAST BREATH

Cane and Iris let Rei came over because they wanted to have as many options as possible to save Lou. They had their main decision, but they were open to another suggestion.

If this was not for the merchant, they would let the people from the Holy Kingdom stayed out of this, because they got the hang of the situation, where they were sure they could end this war as soon as possible, since they had covered their basic, such as food supply and the fighters in the battle.

Cane got Cezi on his side and his warriors thanked to Iris, not to mention his mate got the loyalty from the Blue Moon pack thanked to him.

And with the merchant on their side, they helped Cane to gather magic users, who would arrive within a month from now.

They could carry on without the involvement of the Holy Kingdom. But, Lou was in dire situation and as much as they didn’t want to have anything to do with them, they couldn’t do so.

Lou was the only reason why Cane and Iris agreed to let Rei met with them, but of course, everything would go in their term, not the other way around.

"You don’t need to come," Cane said. He put his arm around Iris’s waist and lifted her up to sit on his lap, as he sat down on a chair. It was noticeable that she had gained weight. All of her great appetite was paid off now.

Of course, Cane wouldn’t mention anything about it, he remembered how upset Iris was when people pointed this out. Actually, he liked it this way, she looked healthy. Now, when she was naked, he could see the small bump on her stomach, though you wouldn’t be able to tell when she was wearing dress.

"No. I want to be here," Iris said. There were a few questions she wanted to ask Rei and she needed to listen to the answer directly, on the note if he was willing to answer this.

"Okay," Cane said, kissing her cheek, down to her neck, but Iris stopped him when he started to squeeze her breast.

"Cane," She called his name softly. "Don’t." Rei would be here any time soon, she didn’t want to be caught in this position.

Cane stopped his hand, but he didn’t stop peppering small kissed on her collarbones. "I like your scent." Her scent changed very subtly, but Cane could tell the difference without any problem.

Iris sniffed herself. "I can’t smell myself."

Hearing that, Cane chuckled, but then someone informed the two of them that Rei had arrived and Iris immediately straightened her back, was about to get off Cane’s lap, but the alpha didn’t allow it.

"Sit still." Cane wrapped his arms around her body protectively and kissed her cheek before he allowed Rei to enter the room. Iris didn’t have time to reject this idea when Rei stepped in.

Thus, the first sight that greeted him was the alpha and the luna was being lovey dovey with each other.

"This is not the sight that expected," Rei stated. "I think you two can be more appropriate." There was a hint of anger in his calm voice. It reminded him in the past. There was a moment when he caught the sight of Na was sitting on Lu’s lap and the lycan literally stared at him tauntingly.

And now it happened again. He felt like he saw Lu laughed at him.

"I thought you would still kneel, because I haven’t let you get up." Iris looked innocent, but her words were sharp enough. Cane gave a squeeze on her bottom after what she said and when she lifted her head to look at him with a frown, the alpha’s eyes filled with mirth.

They thought Rei would have strong respond, but instead he was being humble, which didn’t match with his character.

"I am sorry that I can’t go through with my word, because my priority was to keep you safe, luna, so here I am. I need to go wherever you go. I am your protector."

Iris wanted to tell him that she didn’t want him, but then they wouldn’t get their main purpose to let him in. Neither she nor Cane wanted to spend another second with Rei.

"I want you to cure Lou. Whatever you have done to him, you need to undo it." Iris took the charge in this conversation, while Cane watched. His arms around her body were like a snake. No one could steal this woman from him.

"I will do it as my token of apology." Rei nodded solemnly. "But, a long time has passed since the incident, thus I am not sure how his condition right now. I need to see him."

His request did make sense, but Iris wanted to take all the precaution. She was not going to risk Lou’s life.

"Explain to me what you have done to him." Iris wanted to have a good grasp of Lou’s condition and whether or not her guess was correct.

Rei paused for a moment before his explanation. "That’s a death curse. That’s a curse. Just like you already knew it that I used black magic."

"No way, I have purified the black magic within his body. I have absorbed the black magic from him too." Iris was shocked with the answer, because he didn’t expect it at all.

All of their assumption and Grace and Abby’s diagnose were actually wrong? Or maybe Rei was trying to fool her? But, she couldn’t tell whether he did fool her or not.

"Do you know what else Na could do in her prime?" Rei took a step closer toward the couple. "Tell me what you can do with Na’s power and I will assure you, you don’t even know half of it."

It almost like Iris was holding a great weapon, but she didn’t know how to properly use it, rendered the weapon became ordinary.

"What else Na could do?" Iris looked into her memories once again, but most of them had faded. The memories that Na had stored for centuries started to vanish, just like how her existence couldn’t be found in this world again.

"There are a lot and I am willing to teach you one by one, but of course, we can’t do it in a simple meeting like this. This is not enough."

"Are you suggesting we will have a regular meeting?" Iris narrowed her eyes.

"Abby learned how to be a proper Serafim for her entire life," Rei stated and Iris already knew that. "You have a lot to catch up."

"No, thanks. I don’t need to know my power. I only want you to cure Lou or you can get out of here."

"I will cure him only if you agreed that you will learn everything about Na’s power."

That was it. Cane carried Iris and stood up. He was not going to listen to what Rei would say next and Iris was having a hard time to tell Cane to stop, because she still wanted to bargain with him. Yet, she clamped her mouth.

There was this invisible tension in the air, which made you wanted to flee from the room. The two men were having yet another mental warfare, seeing who would stand in the end.

Rei gritted his teeth and balled his fists. He stared at Cane’s back, but he was barely able to see Iris since his body covered her. He couldn’t tell how her expression right now.

In the end, before Cane reached out the door, Rei opened his mouth. "I need to see him if I am going to cure him."

Cane stopped walking and glanced over his shoulder. "Follow me."

With that, they went to Lou’s bedroom and there was no agreement or anything related to Rei taught Iris about Na’s power.

"You can put me down," Iris whispered to Cane. "I can walk."

But the alpha didn’t want to listen. He carried her to Lou’s bedroom and even when they were finally inside, he didn’t put her down.

In a way, this was ridiculous.

"You can start to check on him," Cane said callously. Behind the curtain, Lou was still unconscious and his condition was getting worst.

Rei threw a dagger look before he averted his sight from the two of them and started to check on the merchant.

However, the next thing that happened, really shocked Iris because Rei actually could summon the Sylph. She thought it was only the Serafim, people with divine power, who could summon the air spirit.

"How he can do that?" Iris frowned so hard and Cane was deep in thought.

"The Sylph is an air creature, it helps the magic user to use their power without the magic stone," Rei explained this basic thing that Iris already knew, but it didn’t come to her mind to use the Sylph in order to cure Lou. "Using the Sylph to cure a magic user is like having a healing ability for the shifter."

Iris did try to heal Lou, but she had never used the Sylph.

And as Rei did that, Iris could see how the dark vines on Lou’s body started to fade away. His complexion looked better by time and Rei told her about this knowledge. He educated Iris of how to use her own power.

"There is a reason why there is only one air magic stone in this entire realm and it belongs to the Serafim." Rei smiled. "Air magic stone made of the Serafim’s last breath."
