I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
Because of how scared the sorcerer was to Cane, he blurted out the gist of his situation when he offered to help him. 0
However, knowing the truth, it almost like Cane was the one, who helped him more, because of how miserable his life was after fifty years the cursed soul latched on him and how eager he was to be free from it.
This old sorcerer tricked him cunningly.
But then, there was another question; why the cursed soul had any interest on him?
"So, how this related to her?" Cane asked coldly. Iris was standing next to him, yet he was sure, despite her face almost covered under the hoodie, she was reading the conversation, as she kept turning her head, alternating between staring at him and the sorcerer.
The sorcerer snickered, he looked almost crazy when he whispered to them. "Five hundred years ago, Lu, the cursed lycan inside you, loved a woman." The sorcerer's eyes fell on Iris, which made her felt cold crept down her spine. "I think Lu found some resemblance of that woman in her, maybe this girl is his lover's reincarnation, in a way."
Cane really wanted to turn around and leave this crazy sorcerer after the nonsense that he spitted out, but he couldn't brush off all the things that happened between him and Iris, especially the fact of how she could calm the lycan down, every time when the new moon came, and how Iris could only hear the sound of the lycan when she was definitely deaf.
Did reincarnation really exist? He didn't believe such thing, because that kind of belief was not something common in this continent, as the majority of them didn't practice magic and was not really spiritual.
"And how do you think this cursed soul believed he will meet with her?" Cane asked in sceptic tone and then added coldly. "I could have killed her."
That was true, he could have killed Iris like he did to her father, since he believed she was a runt at that time and only saw her as Gerald's daughter, after all, she was too weak to get a torture, which didn't please him.
The sorcerer clicked his tongue. "Lu is very intelligent, do you think he would have allowed you to kill her?"
Cane narrowed his eyes, he remembered the first thing that lycan did when he saw her was to mark her, making sure they were tied by the mate bond and also secured her position beside him.
Ck! Cane really didn't like this romance story.
"The Serafim really has to kill you when she knew you are a dark sorcerer." Cane threw him a dagger look. He was not only tricked by this sorcerer, but by the lycan as well. This triggered something inside of him, the feeling of being used, was something that he was very familiar with.
They said time heal every wound and he wondered, how long it would take to heal his?
"Nah… the Serafim can't say I used dark magic if she doesn't investigate and check on me thoroughly, meeting her in person is not a problem." The sorcerer shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly. "After all, I was kicked out not because they knew I used black magic. That's the lycan that caused trouble and forced me to get out of the Holy Kingdom and roamed many continents for years!" He assumed, the lycan wanted to search for his mate, that's why he created such ruckus, which caused him to be kicked out.
"I hardly believed the Holy Kingdom had a sorcerer like you."
"Hey, I was the brightest sorcerer in my time!" he was offended and then scoffed. "But, even if you bring me to the Holy Kingdom, I doubt the Serafim could tell I used black magic. I heard the divine power that she has was so weak. She is the weakest Serafim in the history."
Cane was not interest with knowing how weak the current Serafim was.
On the other hand, the sorcerer looked at Cane with resentment, but the feeling was not directed at the alpha, but another soul inside of him, but then he shifted his attention toward Iris, as he squinted his eyes. "Who are you? I am sure you are not a shifter."
"She is a runt."
The sorcerer frowned, he wanted to deny it, but he was still not sure.
And after getting all the information that he needed, Cane took Iris's hand and turned around to leave this rickety house, but then he glanced at him through his shoulder. "You will come with me to the Howling Wolf pack too."
This matter was not over yet, there were still a lot of questions that he wanted to ask to this sorcerer and he couldn't do that right now, since time was tight for him.
"What?! No!" The sorcerer leapt to his feet and strode across the room to stop Cane. If he had his power, he would have attacked this alpha! "I have finally freed from that cursed soul! I want to enjoy my freedom! How can you take that away from me when you know exactly how it felt when your freedom was snatched away from your hand!"
The sorcerer followed him out of the house, where the five shifters had been waiting for them, they looked at the scene with confusion.
"Hey! Do you hear me!?" Cane abruptly stopped, which shocked the sorcerer, as he took tentative steps back. "What?!" he barked to mask his fear, after all, he had heard the final showdown between the two packs.
"How can you have freedom when you don't have money?" Cane said bluntly. He knew this sorcerer was broke, that's why he ended up in this sorry part of the capital city.
At first, the sorcerer was shocked, but then he was embarrassed, which made him angry. "Watch your mouth! I…"
But, Cane cut him off. "Be the sorcerer in the Howling Wolf pack and I will supply your need for magic stone. I will take care of you."
The sorcerer was silent, but then he muttered. "Well, if you insist…"
