168: WILL YOU PUT IT ON ME?

WILL YOU PUT IT ON ME?

Even though Cane didn't get all the things that he wanted to know from Mason, because he was way more ignorant than he thought him to be, at least, he could conclude one thing; his guess was right. All the horrendous events that happened ten years ago were all fabricated and the King was behind it.

And if King Aeon had gone all those extra lengths to get a hold of the two packs, the Howling Wolf pack and the Blue Moon pack, under his thumb then, he could do the same thing again now. Not to mention he got a suitable weapon to ruin Cane because of the incident between Ethan and the Crown Prince Alan.

It wouldn't take long before he reached the point where he needed to choose between letting Ethan go or rebelling against the King, between the two the latter being out of the options. His pack couldn't afford to go to another battle.

Meanwhile, Will walked next to him while he was on his way to his bedroom. He wanted to ask what the conclusion of his meeting with Mason was, but seeing how serious Cane's expression was, he swallowed his question. As for Jace, he took his leave from the Alpha earlier because the Beta needed to go look for Ethan.

The gamma had been missing ever since they entered the pack grounds.

Jace wanted to give him a piece of his mind, because he was being so reckless as to give the King the right ammunition to attack them.

However, before they could reach Cane's bedroom, they saw Iris and Hanna coming from the opposite direction.

They ran into each other because the Alpha and the Luna's rooms were literally next to one another.

Will was about to greet Iris and Hanna when Cane talked first. "Walk with me," he said curtly, but because currently Iris didn't see him, she didn't know that he asked her to go with him.

Even so, instead of notifying her like usual and repeating what he said, Cane simply took Iris' hand and walked away with her.

Iris was confused because Cane was pulling her away all of a sudden, she looked at Cane and then at Hanna, giving her a questioning look before Hanna mouthed what the Alpha had said earlier.

Only then, did Iris walk away with him willingly.

When Cane noticed that Iris followed him without posing any resistance, he let go of her hand and walked ahead.

Iris didn't know where he wanted to take her, but she couldn't question him. Somehow, he gave off this humorless vibe, he looked very serious, deep in thought.

"Where are they going?" Hanna asked Will, as she watched their retreating backs.

"I don't know." Will shook his head. He was too clueless about what was in Cane's mind. He looked like he was doing a bunch of random things, but there was no way he would do something wasteful when his gamma's life was on the line.

Jace suggested letting Ethan escape to a different continent, but Cane didn't give him his opinion on that idea at all.

"Is the Alpha in a bad mood? Will he hurt my missy?" Hanna was worried. She couldn't do anything if Cane indeed wanted to harm her. But, based on what Iris told her, the Alpha treated her well during their journey, which made her think that their relationship got better.

"You don't need to think too much. The Alpha will not hurt her." Will looked at Hanna helplessly.

"I am glad," she muttered.

But then, there was this awkward silence between them, which made Will scratch his head nervously, while Hanna wanted to go, yet she found herself unable to do that and ended up waiting for him to speak, so they could be together a little bit longer.

Will had been away for almost a month and this was the first time they were alone.

However, Hanna couldn't come up with a topic and it would sound a little bit forced if she asked him about his journey.

"I- I will go to my room," Hanna mumbled. "Good night, Will." She turned around.

"Hm, Hanna?"

"Yes?" Hanna wanted to kick herself because she turned around a little bit too fast, as if she was so eager to stay, fortunately, Will didn't notice that. "Do you want to say something?"

"Actually, I bought something on our way back, I thought it would be nice on you, but I don't know when I will meet you, so I kept it in my room." Will felt like he rather wanted to fight a monster right now after he blurted out those things. "Do you want to come to my room?"

Hanna raised her head immediately when Will said that, but then the poor warrior immediately realized that he phrased his words wrongly and it sounded very ambiguous.

"No, what I meant is… I will go get it from my room, you can wait here if you want, I will come back real quick!" he hastily explained what he meant before Hanna got the wrong idea.

Will gritted his teeth, he wanted to kick himself for his clumsiness, but his body stiffened when he felt Hanna stopping him. She grabbed his arm and looked at him with her lucid eyes.

"Let me go with you. Your room is far from here." It would take a lot of effort and time if he had to run back and forth.2

"Oh, right… okay." Will scratched his head and Hanna walked with him.

Neither of them talked much as they walked to the warrior's quarters. They ran into a few warriors, but before they could tease them, Will would glare at them to shut their filthy mouths. One look from him was enough to make them mum.

Probably, Cane's coldness rubbed off on him, thus he could pull off such a threatening look.

"I don't know if you'll like it, but I think it will look good on you." Will pulled out a necklace with a small pendant from the drawer.

Seeing how nervous the man was, Hanna couldn't help but tease him. "Will you put it on me?"
