353: A CERTAIN ALPHA WAS ATTENDING TO HIS MATE

A CERTAIN ALPHA WAS ATTENDING TO HIS MATE

One of the reasons why the king didn't want to make the problem with the black magic and the lycan official was because he didn't want the Holy Kingdom to get involved in this matter, because seeing for the current situation, it was only right for them to intervene, since this was part of their responsibility to eliminate the dark magic user and the used of the black magic. 

Therefore, with Lou sneaking inside Alan's bedroom, where he was being locked up, it was completely unacceptable, especially when he suggested for him to inform the Holy Kingdom about it. 

However, knowing Alan, this man- child wouldn't think that far and since he only thought about himself, there was no way he would consider the consequences that would come for the Holy Kingdom to interfere with their kingdom's affair. 

"With the word from the Serafim, no one will be able to deny it. After all, if there is one person, who could tell about black magic, it will be her." Lou leaned his body forward and looked at Alan with suggestive look. "Serafim is only your chance to get back the respect from the public and honor. Don't you feel bad for your name being tarnished for something that you didn't do? More so, what the heck with a baby that is not even the king's own child to be the crown prince? How could the king skip a generation to appoint an heir for the next person in throne? People are very disappointed in this decision and you can take this as your chance to acquire your own supporter."

If there was one person, who suit this assignment, this must be Lou, as he knew exactly what to say and press the right button to boost Alan's ego, though the merchant felt like he wanted to vomit to see the vanity of this former crown prince. 

Talking to this shallow person and characterless personality was an easy task for him in the end. 

However, Lou was still wrecking his brain to figure out what the plot Cane was playing, yet he couldn't get any idea what was this all about. 

Not to mention Cane had gone missing along with Iris. 

If it was not for his gamma, who came to him and reminded him about the deal between them, Lou would have forgotten about this task. 

'Whether the alpha will return or not, our pack will still hold the end of the deal.'

That was what Ethan said, thus even if Cane died, they would still fulfill their alpha's promise to him, as long as he managed to make Alan wrote for the Holy Kingdom. 

Lou shook his head, his brain capacity was not able to untangle this mystery, while Alan was starting to think what he would write for the Holy Kingdom, asking for their help. 

"If I can make the Serafim came to this continent and solve the problem, Cane will not stand a chance against me. He will be a laughing stock for his effort to solve the problem. Ah! He has gone missing! I wish he will return alive, it is no fun if he died!" Alan muttered to himself with a mocking tone and a derisive laugh. 

"Yeah, yeah…" Lou smiled that was not even a smile at all. 

And with that, all the pieces had moved toward the direction that Cane wanted, as he had directed the path for them. 

Meanwhile, the certain alpha, who had caused so much trouble within the capital city and the mastermind behind Alan's fall, was currently attending to his mate. 

"Ah, how can you do this as good as Hanna?" Iris looked at her braided hair with amazement in her eyes. 

Since a few days ago, Cane would help her to braid her hair. He was a little bit clumsy when he tried it for the first time, but after his third attempt, he got the hang of it and now, he was almost as expert as Hanna. 

Cane brushed her bangs and said nothing like usual, as he folded the makeshift bed and put it inside the bag, along with a little thing that Will had brought for them. 

"Oh, right! I always forgot to tell you this." Iris approached Cane and was about to help him, but he had done everything, thus she squatted down beside him. "You need to be careful when you talked with someone, because Hanna overheard your conversation with Ethan."

Iris was referring to when Hanna accidentally overheard the conversation between Cane and Ethan when they were still in the palace, the day Iris 'helped' him to find the magic stone in the princess Osana's palace and she fell asleep inside the study room of the head of the royal sorcerers. 

"It's good if it was only Hanna, what if it was someone else, who heard that." 

Cane tilted his head and then nodded. "Okay," he said simply, but little did she know, the alpha wouldn't have made such minor mistake. Only because he knew Hanna would relay the word to Iris, he let her heard their conversation, because it would save him time to explain the same things to Iris again. 

After that, the alpha shifted into his beast and wait for Iris to climb on top of him, as they resumed their journey to the Riverside pack. 

They would arrive at the Riverside pack tomorrow and like usual, they spent most of their time ran through the Amistice Forest that connected the capital city and the Riverside pack, this path was not recommended during another season because the monsters attack, but at this time, thankfully they had not yet encountered any monsters, as those creatures were still in their hibernation phase. 

Usually, when they stopped to take a rest and had their lunch, Iris would talk about everything, even when she read her book. Yes, Cane had made sure Will put a book with the topic she currently liked for her inside the bag he gave them. Even so, Iris would talk about the information she read. 

Cane could answer some question, but some of them, was something new that he had never heard of and some time, unintentionally, Iris would bring their conversation into a random discussion. She seemed happier to be away from the palace. 

Probably, this became her habit to forget about thing that upset her or put her in agony, since they had never talked about Kellan at all and she pretended like all of those things had never happened. 

Late at night when Iris was about to sleep, they were staring at the stary sky when she asked him something. 

Iris nudged his arm, as Cane sat down and leaned his body against the tree with his eyes closed, but she knew he didn't sleep, while she laid next to him on the makeshift bed he made her, "If you can change something in the past, what will you change?" 

Cane opened his eyes and slowly looked at her. Recently, she had been asking this kind of random question and weirdly, he entertained her.  1

"Nothing. It's pointless. You can't change anything in the past. You left them, that's why they were the past."
