283: LEAVE

LEAVE

Iris watched in horror when she witnessed a murder for the first time right before her eyes. 1

Prince Vemion was still struggling and begging for mercy after being taken away from his chamber by the lycan and was dragged here, yet the next thing that happened made them sucked in cold breath.

The lycan pierced through his chest and yanked his heart out of his body, as the cursed creature crushed it easily. The gagging sound prince Vemion let out was the last sound that came out of his mouth before his lifeless body was being thrown away to the side and slowly, the lycan shifted back into the alpha of the Howling Wolf pack, as the sun rose in the east and the dull light spilled through this clearing.

"Shit!" Redmond cursed loudly when he saw that. He was taken aback and was caught out of guard, thus he didn't have time to shield Iris from such horrendous sight. "You agreed to not do it in front of her!"

Meanwhile, Iris blanched. This was the most disturbing and horrifying sight she had ever witnessed. She didn't know what to say, neither she knew how to react. The lycan had just killed the prince in such brutal way she had never imagined before and now, in stead of the lycan, Cane was standing ten steps away from her and the bloody remaining of what prince Vemion's heart was still in his hand. The color was so red, as fresh blood dripped to the covered- snow ground, leaving dark stain on the surface.

"Damn you! What do you think you are doing in front of her?!" Redmond snarled at Cane, while the alpha ignored him like usual, but his eyes fixed on his mate, held her gaze, which filled with fear. A lot of fear. "Are you okay?" Redmond turned around and faced Iris. He shook her shoulder, but then her legs gave up and she sat on the cold ground. It was so cold, even for a shifter, let alone someone like her. She would get sick again if she stayed like this.

"What are you going to say now?!" Redmon barked at Ethan, who was dumbfounded. This time, he didn't have a word to retort.

The gamma didn't have any idea that Cane would do such thing in front of Iris, as they agreed not to do it in her presence, because it would be too much for her to handle. Was it the lycan? Couldn't he control himself in his lycan form whenever Iris nearby? Cane was sure about that, but why he killed Vemion in front of her?

Even Haco was stunned, he gagged and threw up to see the lifeless body of the prince. He didn't know the whole plan and was only ordered to curse princess Osana, so like Iris, he was also not expecting such horror and gruesome scene in this early morning.

"My stomach is weak, can't you warn me first?" Haco complained.

Out of all the people, it was only Will, who didn't have any reaction. He stared at the dead body of prince Vemion as if it was nothing, as if he felt nothing. He still sat on the ground, staring at the whole thing with numb.

"Let's go, I will take you back to the lodge," Redmond said, he helped Iris to get up on her feet and left the scene.

Once the two of them left, Ethan went to approach Cane, he looked cautious when he spoke. "Why did you do that? We have agreed not to do it in front of her."

Cane still stared at where the sight of Iris and Redmond disappeared and then to his bloody hand. He was silence for a while before he spoke.

"I didn't agree to anything," he said and then lifted his head to look at his gamma. "Prepare for the next move."

And after saying that, Cane turned around and left, he went to clean the blood on his hand, leaving those people stared at his back with a great apprehension.

Cane was right, the idea was suggested by Redmond and Ethan, who in a rare moment, agreed with him, yet Cane had never said anything and they took his silent as an agreement.

Ethan groaned to see his alpha left without any explanation yet again. He couldn't comprehend the way Cane's mind was working. He was very unpredictable. He thought, the relationship between him and Iris had a great progress, but why he would show such gruesome sight in front of her?

Unless he couldn't control the lycan, yet there was no way for Ethan to know that for sure.

"Will, come here and help me!" Ethan waved his hand toward Will, who stood up and approached the gamma. He still said nothing, neither he showed any emotion, while Haco had scurried away, throwing up somewhere, cursing Cane in every step that he took, thankfully, he didn't have any magic stone on him.

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

Redmond handed Iris a cup of hot chocolate, he didn't stop nagging her about something, even though she didn't look at him, which meant, whatever he said couldn't be understood by her, yet it didn't discourage the warrior.

"Shit! What he wants?!" Redmond cursed when he caught Cane's scent and right at that time, the door was thrown opened. The alpha was standing there, looked so calm like usual. Probably, it was only Iris, who had ever witnessed Cane's vulnerable side, but it almost felt like a distance memories. "What do you want now?! You shocked her! What you have done was borderline brutal!"

"Leave," Cane said simply, as he strode across the room to reach his mate. He already cleaned himself, there was no trace of blood on him, but the sight that Iris saw an hour ago, would forever engrave in her mind.

"Do you really think I will leave you alone with her?" Redmond stepped in front of Cane to block his path, he stretched out his hand to stop him, but the alpha swiftly twisted his hand and pushed him away.

"Leave."
