188: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Aderan was supposed to be in the Celestial Moon pack, because he would be the messenger between the two packs and also 'Cane's eyes' there. He couldn't return to the pack without further instructions from the Alpha.

Therefore, for him to come here, there must be something going wrong.

"What are you doing here?" Ethan was very surprised to see Aderan here, as he raised his voice which made the latter frown.

"I didn't know that you dislike me so much," Aderan said sullenly.

Ethan rolled his eyes, but it was Jace, who stirred the conversation back to the main problem. "You shouldn't have returned without any instructions from the Alpha."

"I returned because Alpha Derick needs help from Alpha Cane. I am here to deliver very important information and I need to see him now." Aderan wanted to see the Alpha immediately, but he was denied entry. Even though his status was Cane's personal guard, he was not allowed to meet with the Alpha. "What happened here?"

As he waited for Ethan and Jace, he asked around, but the information that he got was very raw and incomprehensive, thus it was better to ask these two people directly.

"What information?" Jace asked, he didn't expect to see Aderan here, thus, he had not yet thought of what to say to him. Will had already found out the truth, he was still unsure whether it was necessary for Aderan to have access to the same information or not.

"I can't give the information to you without giving it to the Alpha first," Aderan said firmly. "You know how it works."

Jace and Ethan couldn't deny that fact. The information would come to the Alpha first, especially when important matters were concerned. Only then, it would be filtered and shared to people related to the problem and the plan.

And for Aderan to return without prior notice, this must be something important enough to demand a meeting with the Alpha.

"Don't worry, Nexus is still in the Celestial Moon pack. You know him, right?" Aderan thought they were worried because there was no one in the Celestial Moon pack, as Cane's eyes, but actually, both the Beta and the Gamma knew about it. "I heard some rumors when I arrived, what's going on?"

"Come with me," Jace said in an impassive tone, which made Aderan narrow his eyes. It would not be a simple matter if even the Beta looked like this.

========================== 

The sky had turned slightly darker, even though it was still noon, it had been very gloomy in the past two days.

"Alpha, Jace wants to see you, he said Aderan is here to deliver important information," Amee said carefully, as she approached Cane.

The Alpha was sitting on the windowsill. Currently, they were in the west watchtower, where there was a small bedroom with a window that faced the entire pack. It was very quiet here, a nice place when you needed a break from the hectic cycle of the world.

Cane chose this place for him and Iris, so both of them could recuperate properly.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with Cane after Iris took out the curse needle, he returned to his senses and was able to shift back into his human form, but he felt the urge to be with her. Her presence calmed him down and helped his beast feel less restless, which helped him to think this matter through.

Meanwhile, during the last outburst from the lycan when Iris stabbed him, she was tossed to the ground and got her shoulder dislocated. She would be fine in a few days, but currently, she was sleeping peacefully.

"Let him in," Cane said. He was still sitting on the windowsill, staring at his pack. It was only a little bit over six months since he got his title back and the progress of the reconstruction of this pack had been running smoothly funded by the two treasuries from both the Blue Moon pack and the Howling Wolf pack.

The problem of grains, mostly, had been resolved, so they could go through winter without fear of being starved.

But, everything that he and his people had worked hard for would crumble in the blink of an eye, if he were to tread in the wrong path.

He had an inkling that Aria would be a problem in the future the moment he saw her obsession toward him and how she was unable and refused to see the same goal as him. Her mind was trapped in the idea of having him for herself and that was the last trouble Cane wanted to think of.

He didn't want to make a move on her and had warned her sternly about this. He had put distance between them and let her do whatever she wanted with the torrent of money that she could access as she pleased, yet she wanted something that he had warned her not to covet.

And now, things had already escalated to this point, there was no way to go back.

No matter how inapt it was, Cane had a soft spot for Aria, because despite everything, she was still the person that stood by his side during the difficult times, but right now, she would become a bigger problem in the future if he let her be.

More so, the fact that she had killed three children unintentionally was unforgivable.

"Alpha," Aderan greeted Cane, he entered the room and felt warm because of the two braziers that were put in the corner of this small room, while Iris was sleeping on the bed.

Her auburn hair was so easy to be distinguished on the white sheets.

"What information have you obtained?" Cane turned his head to look at Aderan. It had been a few months since he left for the Celestial Moon pack. He left even before they moved back to their homeland.0

"Alpha, the monster attacks in the North have gone crazy and Alpha Derick believes the King has been using the Asturi stem to aggravate them in order to keep him in his pack, just like ten years ago."
