346: THE APPEARANCE OF THE LYCAN

THE APPEARANCE OF THE LYCAN

Iris's eyes lit up when she read what Cane said, he was actually trying to taste the water. Even after he told her they couldn't save the diamond white tiger, he still put an effort to get the poor boy, though Iris knew better not to put her hope high. 1

On the other hand, alpha Derick and Koda laughed awkwardly to hear such request, because the white diamond tiger was such a treasure for them, it was almost like the magic stone mines, albeit the value of diamond and magic stone differed significantly.

Diamond was not as expensive as the magic stone, but still, it was an easy item to be sold.

"I think the opportunity I gave to you will cost more than a mere white diamond tiger."

Alpha Derick spoke in light tone. "I know, the opportunity you gave to our pack is worth more than that." But then, his expression became trouble. "But, the mother of the white diamond tiger had died and currently, he is the last one of his kind. He is very valuable to our pack."

"More than our opportunity cooperation in the future?" Cane tilted his head, his expression turned serious. "The baby is still not born yet and even if you manage to make him a crown prince, it is still long way to put him on the throne. You will need more ally during those time."

Hearing what Cane said, alpha Derick and Koda's face darkened. It sounded like a threat from the alpha of the Howling Wolf pack, but then Cane's stiff expression softened, as he smiled slightly.

"If my mate happy, I will be happy too, but if it's too much, I will leave it at that." Cane nodded at the two of them, took Iris's hand and then left. He had said what he needed to say and it would be a good thing for them to reconsider it, since they had seen firsthand what Cane was capable to do and it wouldn't benefit them anything, if they upset him.

They had witnessed how Cane singlehandedly fabricated everything and schemed against the king brilliantly, he was not someone that you wanted to be your enemy.

Cane showed them his value and he wouldn't stoop to beg them for anything.

On the other hand, Iris was slightly disappointed because the two men didn't give any reaction even after they left, yet there was another important thing she needed to be worried about.

Iris looked up and she saw the sky had turned so dark. In the distance the bell was rang, indicating it was already midnight.

"Cane?" Iris was startled when Cane picked her up and rushed toward a quiet corner, where he put her down and then fell to his knees, he let out a low and dangerous growl. He started to shift into his lycan!

Iris looked around, she was afraid there was someone walk past them when he was not fully shifted and realized it was Cane.

She grimaced when she watched how Cane was in pain during his transformation. Ethan had told her that Cane used to feel an immense pain during his shift, even when he stayed in his lycan form, but it was way more bearable for him when she was close to him.

Even so, Iris still could feel the pain Cane endured right now. She knelt down and tried to soothe his pain by caressing his cheeks.

And soon after, it was the lycan before her eyes.

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

"Mother! Mother! Mother!" Alan was calling his mother frantically when he saw her entered the dirty dungeon, her face darkened, since she hated this kind of place, but she needed to get down here because the stupid son of her was getting them into a huge trouble with his stupidity. "Mother! You need to believe me! You need to tell father I am not the one, who had cursed aunt Osana! It was not me! I don't know anything!"

"I know," lady Cyan said coldly, which made Alan looked relief because his mother didn't blame him, but he was happy too fast, because his mother came here not to help him.

"You better shut your mouth," lady Cyan said grimly, as she waved her hand, indicating for all the ladies that followed her here and the guards to leave her alone. "I can't believe, I gave birth to such idiot creature like you."

Alan was taken aback when he heard that, but this was not the first time for his mother to belittle him and talk so harshly to him.

"Mother… if you know it was not me, you just need to ask father to say so," Alan said, he looked scared of his own mother.

However, lady Cyan looked even angrier when she heard that. How could he not understand the current situation and how he walked straight into the enemy's scheme? He was not only stupid, but also ignorance to the bone.

"Shut up!" lady Cyan finally lost her temper, she raised her hand and Alan felt the same suffocated feeling whenever his mother used her magic on him. He felt like he was being strangled and was having a hard time to breath.

"Mo- mother…" Alan clawed his neck, but there was nothing there. "Pl- please… I can… die…"

"Good. You better die."

If it was not for the purpose of his existence, she would have killed him right away. There were countless times where she really wanted to kill this useless son of hers. Not only he was not up to her standard, he didn't even meet her expectation at all! What a burden!

But, in the end, lady Cyan let him go, because he couldn't die, at least not now.

Alan was coughing hard when he was being released, as he scurried away from the bar and curled his body on the corner of the dungeon. He was so scared. His mother used to lock him inside a cage when he was a child because he was not as bright as Kellan.

But when he grew older, it seemed, she had given up on him and let him do whatever.

Meanwhile, lady Cyan was about to ask Alan about something important when Laura entered the room, she was her personal maid and knew a lot about her, including her magic ability.

"What is it?!" lady Cyan snapped because she didn't like to be interrupted.

"There is an importance news from the palace, my lady," Laura said hastily. "A lycan has appeared in the palace and the creature kidnapped the luna of the Howling Wolf pack. The king demands your presence now, my lady."

Lady Cyan's eyes turned so dark, as her face became ashen. She didn't waste her time in this wretched place, as she rushed back to the palace.

Early in the morning, the whole capital city had learned about what happened in the palace and how the crown prince was put in the dungeon right now for the crimes he had committed.

Despite the king's effort and his attempt to suppress the news about what happened to Alan, someone had leaked and spread the information wide and far, especially about the kidnap.
