Chapter 93: TELL IRIS TO COME HERE

"How long will it take to get from this pack to the Moon Dew pack?" Cane asked Will.

They had shunned away the swindling merchant and destroyed three of his carriages that carried rotten meat. It was not a problem, because no one in their right mind would be able to eat that rubbish anyway.

"It will take a week to go there," Will replied.

They were inside a tavern, drinking cheap ale, while it was raining outside. Their mood was sour at the moment after what happened.

"You are not thinking of going to the black market, right?" Ethan furrowed his brows, he tried to read what was in the alpha’s mind, but once again he failed to do so.

Meanwhile, Jace looked concerned. There was another important problem that they had to consider if they wanted to make it a trip down there.

"A week’s journey, which means it will take at least twenty days to return," Jace murmured. At least, they would need six days to one week to get what they needed.

However, none of them had ever gone to that kind of place and on top of that, there was this new moon as well.

If they were lucky, they would be able to return before the next new moon, but anything could happen during their journey and it was too risky.

Not a single soul should know about what happened to Cane and they needed to keep it that way.

"We can buy crops from the Crystal Moon pack," Ethan suggested, but that was not enough. As soon as he said it, he himself could see how stupid that suggestion was.

Asking help from their neighboring packs was almost like revealing their weakness and once they did that, they would hunt them down, use it as their bargaining chip and history would repeat itself.

The only thing that was now holding them back from attacking this pack was the image that Cane displayed. He created a false image, nothing truer than a mirage, deceiving people how strong these two packs were under his control, as this became the biggest pack in the southern kingdom.

It worked, but it wouldn’t last forever. They would see there were piles of internal problems he was hiding and they needed to reduce the possibility of them ever finding it out.

"Where is Redmond?" Cane asked Ethan. With him asking for the head warrior of the Blue Moon pack, all of them could see where it would go.

"Cane." Ethan frowned. He didn’t like the idea.

"Talk to me when you have a better idea."

Ethan lowered his head. He didn’t have one, nor did Jace and Will.

On the other hand, Cane knew that his father wouldn’t like this, he would always say not to engage in trade in the black market, but he was dead already and Cane needed to think about hundreds and thousands of people that relied on him heavily.

"He is in the training ground. He must be there if he was not in the pack house." It was Will who answered the question.

After knowing that, Cane stood up and left the money on the table before he walked through the rain to go to the training ground.

It wouldn’t be a pleasant conversation.

It didn’t take long for Cane to find Redmond. He was in his beast form, drenched in the rain. The grey wolf looked at him viciously, as if he was about to attack the alpha, but Cane was as calm as ever.

"Shift," he commanded, but because Redmond didn’t pledge his loyalty to him, he couldn’t force him to shift into his human form.

The grey wolf snickered at that fact, yet Cane didn’t falter.

"Tell me about the black market and how to get there." He didn’t beat around the bush and bluntly asked.

To answer that, Redmond had to shift back to his human form, since they couldn’t mind-link each other, yet he was being stubborn. Instead, the grey wolf growled in a low voice. A threat.

Cane met him in the eyes, as he spoke again. "Will."

Will, who just managed to catch up with him, immediately rushed to his side. "Yes, alpha."

"Get Iris here."

Hearing that, the grey wolf shifted and they could see Redmond standing there, looking indignant. "Fine! What do you want to know?"

However, Cane didn’t seem pleased with his attitude. He had let it slide countless times already. "What are you waiting for?" He glanced at will.

"You don’t need to call her here, we can talk now!" Redmond was furious. It was raining, why would this alpha want to put Iris through this.

Yet, Cane just glanced at Will and it was enough to make his personal guard do what he was told.

"Cane!" Redmond snarled.

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

It had been raining for the last few days and the dark clouds dampened Iris’ mood significantly. Actually, she wanted to request a meeting with Cane, so she would be able to go to the mines. She needed to find the water magic stones, since the one that she found was given to Ania.

However, the circumstances and the time were not right.

During these days, Iris had rarely gone out of her bedroom. She would only go to the dining hall once all of the people had left and move as quietly as possible. She was akin to a living ghost, as she didn’t want anyone to notice her existence.

This pack didn’t have a library. From what Kaz said, they used to have one, but after the pack house was turned into a brothel, they didn’t know where those scums put all those books.

Thus, Iris would spend her days perched near the window, watching the rain and all the people, who were smiling and conversing with each other. They worked together to make the pack house a more livable place, even the rain couldn’t stop them. Instead, they splashed each other playfully.

Iris envied them. She wanted to have friends and conversations like them as well. She felt like an outsider, which was ironic, since she was the luna of this pack.
