277: THE CUT GOT DEEPER

THE CUT GOT DEEPER

2Cane knew what he was doing and saying, especially how to play with people like Haco. The sorcerer had nothing. No money, no place to stay, no magic stone for his power, nothing.

"It can be your words against the special envoy of the king." Cane showed him the golden stamp he received from the king.

Seeing that, Haco cursed under his breath. "Shit! Damn you, Cane! You trap me! How can you scheme against me?!"

Haco knew the meaning of the golden stamp and the privilege that the holder would get. The authority was almost absolute, only the king himself, who could deny it. He could use the royal warrior and all the resources.

"How can you get that damn thing?!" Haco was dumbfounded. Now, he was conflicted, though it was very clear for him that he couldn't go against Cane now, but to support him, it could mean he dug his own grave.

Because once Cane was down, he would be buried with him as well, but this alpha was very cunning, thus the end result was still unclear.

"Your choice, Haco." Cane put away the golden stamp. His black eyes fixed on the sorcerer, as he watched how conflicted he was right now.

On the other hand, Haco kept cursing at Cane, but the alpha let him to say whatever he wanted. He used to hear such words, more so, he had every right to be upset with him, because this wouldn't be the last time, he would use him and his power.

"Tonight is the new moon. I want you to greet her again." Cane tossed a magic stone to Haco.

Will flinched when he heard the task that Cane gave to the sorcerer. He knew, who Cane meant by 'her'. It was princess Osana, the alpha wanted Haco to torture her again tonight during the new moon, surely Cane had something in his mind to do it at the same time of his transformation into his lycan form.

One magic stone wouldn't be enough to kill the princess and Cane didn't intend to kill her right away. Death was so easy for people like her, but of course, princess Osana's curse acted up along with the appearance of the lycan in the city would make the already tensed atmosphere became even more chaotic.

"It's too dangerous, alpha." Will finally opened his mouth, after he had been very silent.

"I know." Cane had thought about that, that's why he took Iris with him. He believed this cursed soul of lycan would be docile enough to be with the woman that it wanted.

"You know what," Haco sneered, he played the magic stone in his hand. He was irked because he didn't have any other choice but to follow this deranged alpha's plan. This alpha was a threat to his life, but also his only protection. How upsetting that fact was. "If you fighting a monster, you will become a monster too."

Cane turned his head away and looked at the bleak sky through the window, as he replied. "It's hard to make a good choice when you don't have good options."

His choice was limited and just like the wise man said; the best defense was a good offense.

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

When the night started to fall and Will had a conversation with Cane without the sorcerer there, since Haco stormed off the room after the alpha told him to do his job, he went to his bedroom.

He stayed in this room with Aderan, but right now, he went out with Leros and Clad to finish their task from the alpha.

It was a task for them, but also a way to make them leaving this place, since the three of them still unaware of Cane's dark secret. Tonight was a new moon after all.

Will stared at the fruit knife on the basket. He glanced at the door and made sure no one would enter this room, as he grabbed it and started to make a few cuts on his arm.

Recently, he developed this habit, where he felt so numb and had no desire to live. He wanted to feel something, anything, even if it was pain.

However, in contradiction, he felt so much agony inside, thus he wanted to offset the pain with the physical one.

Blood dripped from his wounds, as he made these cuts.

Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, he was a shifter, he could heal from these wounds in a matter of seconds, the reason why no one knew about this habit of his.

There was a moment when he thought he wanted to cut off his arm, he felt disgusted whenever he remembered the way he touched princess Osana's body, he felt so dirty and unworthy. He wanted to peel off his skin to feel clean again, but then he was so filthy, there was nothing that could help him.

He cut his arm deeper and this time, it took minutes for it to heal…

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

Iris almost forgot that tonight was the new moon if Cane didn't mention it.

Actually, she wanted to ask a few questions about the lycan to Haco, but the sorcerer seemingly was in a bad mood ever since he had a conversation with Cane and was short with her, thus she didn't prod further.

"I could see how you act around prince Kellan. Had he done something to you?" Like usual, Cane didn't beat around the bush when he wanted to know about something.

Currently, they were in one of the bedrooms in the first floor with all the curtain was drawn, so this place looked like isolated.

Iris was sitting on the head of the bed, while Cane was sitting on the end of it, they stared at each other and had a simple conversation, waiting for the midnight to come.

"No." Iris shook her head. "I don't remember aside from the fact he used to visit Blue Moon pack in the past."

"So, why did you look uneasy around him?"
