282: THE BLOODY NIGHT

THE BLOODY NIGHT

"Make sure your daughter can be Cane's mistress, or else, I will send you to gallows." Aeon needed to get a hold of Cane. His nephew had two packs under his command, not to mention the magic stone mines belonged to him as well, thus he thought to use Cane if worse came to worse with the Red Claw pack. He could use Cane to suppress them. 2

"Yes, yes, my king…" Leon replied with so much difficulty, as he spat a mouthful blood. "You don't need to worry, Nala will handle this task well."

Aeon scoffed when he heard that. Nala was beautiful, but Cane didn't even spare her a glance when she tried to throw herself to him.

"Send her to my bedroom, there is something that I want to discuss with her."

Leon's face turned slightly darker when he heard what the king commanded, because he knew what the king would 'discuss' with his daughter in his own chamber. "Yes, my king. Nala will wait for you in your chamber."

Hearing that, Aeon's mood was slightly improved, as he turned around and left the study room. He asked the royal warrior there. "Where is lady Cyan?!"

"Lady Cyan is currently with princess Osana in the East Palace. The curse is acting up again," the royal warrior replied. Only a handful people knew where currently Lady Cyan was, since most of them thought the lady would always be in her place and unless the king called her, she wouldn't leave, yet the truth was far from it.

Aeon growled when he heard that. This matter with the black magic and the lycan had given him a headache and restless sleep. His health had deteriorated because of it.

"I will go to the East Palace."

"But, my king, Sir Lori, princess Laluna and Lady Ayla have been looking for you."

The three of them were prominent figure in the palace and all of them came from the Red Claw pack. At this point, the future conflict between the royal and the Red Claw pack became more apparent.

Lady Ayla was Vemion's mother and of course, she was furious to know her son was taken away by the cursed creature, they didn't know what would happen to him.

On the other hand, the king only glared viciously at the warrior after he heard the report. "I am busy, I will meet with them later."

The king stormed away furiously.

Aeon avoided to meet with them because he didn't want to talk about the matter at hand before he discussed this with Cyan. He needed her opinion regarding this matter because she knew the right things to say and a perfect plan to execute.

However, when he arrived in the East Palace and entered princess Osana's chamber, acrid smell rose in the air and the atmosphere was so dark.

"What happened here?" Aeon stepped inside, after he closed the door. He didn't let anyone to enter.

The crying sound from princess Osana had ceased and the princess was currently sleeping with her limbs still tied on the pillar of her bed, while Cyan was panting beside the bed.

However, the horror didn't lay on the two women, but on a pile of five dead bodies of children around the age of eight to twelve on the corner of the room.

They were dead, it was obvious from their lack of movement. All of them were naked and bleeding, while in the middle of the room, there was a rune, written with blood. The blood from those poor children.

"What are you doing with them?" Aeon didn't feel sorry for the children, he only looked disgusted by the messy room.

The king approached his mistress and looked at her closely, Cyan's face was pale and her beautiful eyes held anger.

"There is another dark sorcerer in the capital city. I need you to call my brother back from Riverside pack." Cyan was seething with rage when she said that.

"The lycan showed up in the palace and that creature took prince Vemion."

"The lycan? In the capital city?"

Cyan was too occupied with the matter at hand, thus she had not yet received any information about the recent event.

"Yes."

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

"I need to stop or else, that dark witch from the palace will kill more children," Haco said, he was panting, as he laid down on his back, staring at the gloomy sky. It was so cold and even though it was not snowed, but the wind was icy.

Will stayed with him in the wood near their lodge, sitting next to him without saying anything.

"Will you say something? I feel like I am talking to myself," Haco complained. He grumbled because of Will lacked of response every time he said something.

"You love to hear the sound of your voice. You don't have problem with me not reply anything to you," Will finally said, so Haco could stop bothering him.

"Cih!" Haco scoffed disdainfully. "They must be here now."

True to his prediction, a few minutes before the sun rose, a lycan appeared from behind the trees, he was dragging prince Vemion with him, while the prince was begging for mercy.

Not too far from them, Iris came with Redmond and Ethan as well.

It came as a shock for Vemion to see these people with the rumored lycan, his mind couldn't comprehend the current situation, but he knew his life was in a great danger.

"Luna Iris, please… have a mercy…" Vemion begged her.

Meanwhile, Iris looked conflicted when he saw the prince, yet she said nothing, as she kept the distance between them.

"What… what are you going to do with him?" Iris couldn't figure out the whole plan, especially when Vemion knew about what they were doing, though he was still clueless about the fact the lycan was Cane.

However, before Iris could get the answer, she watched in horror when the lycan clawed the prince's heart out of his body and crushed it.
