105: HE WAS GOING TO KILL HER

HE WAS GOING TO KILL HER

This time, Cane held her hand so she wouldn't wander about and bump into trouble like earlier.

They walked in this lively street, where drunk people could be seen almost at every corner. Some of them were merchants, some of them were mercenaries, while some were shifters and many more.

This was a popular place after all, but then it was not a safe place for someone like Iris to walk around on her own. Needless to say, this part of the Bloody Wolf pack was not a safe neighborhood.

And one more thing that stunned Iris was the fact there were so many brothels there, showcasing women half naked behind the glass, as they stood in small cubicles like structures, while the men ogled at them with lustful eyes.

The sight terrified her, she glanced at Cane, but he didn't even turn his eyes toward the sight. She was glad that he was nothing like those men.

But, where were they going? Cane said nothing and only followed the old man, walking through alley after alley. They went deeper into the slums in this part of the district.

Iris gently tugged at his sleeve again. "Where are we going?" She asked in a low voice. They had been walking around for more than thirty minutes now. They came to a quiet place, where there were not many people around. Iris started to feel dreadful, especially when there were no guards with them right now. "Where are the others?"

No answer. Cane only glanced at her once and refocused on following the old man. He completely ignored her.

Knowing that the alpha wouldn't answer her, Iris chose to save her energy. It was futile to expect a reply from him if he didn't want to humour her.

But, soon after, the old man stopped in a dark alley and turned around, his eyes shone brightly under the moonlight, there was no one there, only the three of them.

Yet after going deeper into this part of the pack, Cane heard a low growl from behind him and as he turned around, he saw at least five wolves behind them.

Iris followed his line of sight and was startled. "Cane!"

Yet, Cane looked at the five wolves indifferently, he didn't seem surprised at all with this development.

Actually, he had known that they were being followed since the very beginning, the reason why this old man walked in circles was because he had to notify these beasts to follow them.

Iris was alerted of their situation, they were outnumbered. It was nothing like the situation with the mercenaries, where Cane still had an upper hand against them despite their number. This time, they were facing shifters and that was already a tremendous difference.

Iris pressed her body against Cane, as she was terrified to think what might happen later.

Yet, Cane didn't seem bothered by this at all, as he looked them straight in the eyes one by one. "Shift," he said in a low voice and to Iris' surprise, the five wolves shifted into their human form.

All of them looked like they were in their late thirties, sporting solemn expressions, there was no dangerous aura surrounding them like she thought before.

"Are you really the son of Alpha Josh?" One of them asked. He stepped forward from the shadows. Finally, the light illuminated his features and his green eyes shone brightly, spilling so many complicated emotions.

"I am."

The man with green eyes took another step closer and he gasped upon getting a better look of Cane.

In the next second, he dropped to his knees, while the four men behind him followed suit; so did the old man that lured them here.

"Alpha Cane!" He cried out. "Please forgive us for not being able to help you, I am so ashamed to face you right now!"

Him and the other men pressed their heads to the ground so hard their noses touched the ground, as they begged Cane for forgiveness, but the alpha was indifferent to see all of this, while Iris was curious about who they were. From the looks of it, they were Cane's father's men. So, it was safe to say that these people wouldn't harm them, right?

"We need a place to talk," Cane said coldly, there was no warmth in his voice whatsoever to see how woeful these men were.

After all, these men had never engaged in the battle when the Howling Wolf pack fell. They were his father's spies in other packs, but not even once did they risk their lives to do something, instead, they lived in hiding like mice.

If it was not for the note that his father had left in the secret room, he wouldn't even know these people existed and how to draw them out of their hiding place.

Their help at that time, wouldn't have brought any tremendous changes to their lives during the slavery, but even so, there must have been something that they could have accomplished if they had access to the outside world, because alpha Gerald made sure to cut all of their means of communication and information access, poisoning them to render them unable to mind link with one another on top of all that.

"Alpha Cane, that woman…" The man with green eyes stared at Iris. From the information that he gathered, he knew that Cane had a mistress, but he took alpha Gerald's daughter as his mate and now she became the luna of the pack.

That latter fact shocked them, yet, after learning the situation, they could understand.

"Who is that woman, is she your mistress, or… that bastard of an alpha's daughter?" His voice was full of rage, just like the others, they were taking their anger out on the wrong person. "Who are you?"1

Iris felt her tongue turn numb when she read what he said, his green eyes were filled with murderous intention. Would they kill her here? Would Cane save her?

"She is my mate," Cane replied in an impassive tone.

And after getting that confirmation, all of them growled dangerously, as the green eyed man dashed forward to get Iris. He was going to kill her.
