262: ETHAN WAS SEEING RED

ETHAN WAS SEEING RED

This was the first time for Iris to see Ethan again after more than a week he had been locked inside a room, it was a house arrest, which was better than being thrown into a dungeon. 0

And from what Iris learned, the gamma hated it when he was being locked, he would get a panic attack and she had witnessed it firsthand when they went to the auction place.

But Iris had never thought the gamma would look so different like right now. He was skinnier than the last time she saw him, there was dark circles under his eyes and those eyes looked so dim.

As someone as lively as Ethan, it was so devastating to see how he was right now, as if his whole life had been sucked out of him. He was extremely quiet.

Iris was staring at Ethan when Alan clapped his hand to get all the people's attention and his movement caught her attention to look at the crown prince. On the throne, the king sat down comfortably with his loyal subject and queen Della by his side.

It was still a mindboggling fact for Iris to know that she had seen her naked and had a sex with Aderan, but no one from the royal family knew about it.

"I am the one, who has summoned her," Alan declared, grinning from ear to ear. "The luna of the pack should witness this as well, right?"

Once Iris read what Alan said, she immediately realized what was going on and why Ethan was also here. She shifted her attention toward Cane, but he didn't look at her, instead he was talking to the crown prince.

"Thank you for the crown prince for including my mate, but I don't think it will be necessary for her to be here." Cane was not pleased, but he didn't show it on his expression.

"Why not? She is your mate, she is the luna of your pack, she should know what happened to her subject. I am sure my father agreed with me." Alan turned his head to look at his father, who nodded.

The king had been rumored he was not in a good condition and seeing him right now, Iris was convinced, the old king was ill. He looked lethargic, but his eyes still looked shrewd.

"The crown prince's words are right. She should be here and know what happened. You can not put her in the dark regarding the matter in the pack."

Cane said nothing when the king didn't object it, after all, there was no point of arguing that.

Seeing Cane couldn't retort him, it made Alan was very smug, he was satisfied to finally manage to shut him up and win this time around, even though if one took a step back, they would realize it was the king that put Cane in place with the authority he held, not the crown prince.

This was still too early to sow discord so openly with the king.

Cane looked at Iris, she was standing close to the door, while he and Ethan were in the middle of the hall.

'Stay there,' Cane mouthed to her when she was in hesitation to approach him.

Reading that, Iris stood in her place and watched everything unfolded.

Archie, the kind's advisor then stepped forward, his voice was loud and firm when he announced the punishment for the gamma, which made all the member of the Howling Wolf pack held their breath. Redmond was not there among them.

At first, the advisor reiterated what was happening between the crown prince and the gamma, and deemed it was only a brawl, just like what Cane indicated, which made Iris relieved because the punishment wouldn't be so bad and they wouldn't kill Ethan for the offense, since both parties were consent to the physical altercation.

"… but, the gamma from the Howling Wolf pack must apologize for hurting the royal family, the crown prince of the Ogregon Kingdom. He needs to reflect on himself and sincerely regret his wrong conduct."

After the declaration, Alan stood up from his seat and walked toward Ethan, who was seething dangerously.

However, if it was an apology, he thought, he could do that. There was nothing to be stubborn about if an apology could save his life, even more when he realized his alpha had done his absolute best to get him out of this mess.

At the very least, he could lower his ego for him.

However, if a simple half ass apology was all that Alan was seeking for, Ethan had underestimated the crown prince, because he had this inept ability to make bad thing into the worse one.

"I will count your apology as a sincere one if you crawl on both of your knees and arms, and kiss my feet." Alan kicked off his shoes and showed Ethan his bare left foot. He wriggled it provocatively.

He had nothing to lose, if Ethan decided to attack him, he would meet his demise right there and then and his death was justified, because he had every intention to attack the crown prince in front of so many eyes, in front of the king.

Humiliation.

Alan had thought about this. If he couldn't torture him, he could get his revenge in one way or another and from what he learned from the slavery, a humiliation was a great method to provoke them.

Iris was shocked after reading what he had said. Detestable! How he could come up with such idea?! She looked around and realized he wanted to crush Ethan's self esteem and his reputation also the respect that the pack member held for him by degrading him to such extent. After all, Ethan was the gamma, he was the third command for the alpha.

[Calm yourself.] Cane mindlink his gamma.

[No. I am going to kill him and bring down as many people as I can!] Ethan snapped. He was seeing red, at this point.
