374: SHOCKING NEWS IN THE MORNING

SHOCKING NEWS IN THE MORNING

"What kind of rubbish is this!?" Lady Cyan gritted her teeth, as she squeezed the letter in her hand and closed her eyes to control her emotions, she looked so livid. 

But, before she could completely get a grip of the whole situation, another guard came to report an important information. 

"There is a letter from the Holy Kingdom, my lady."

"What? Holy Kingdom? What they want?" Lady Cyan frowned. She knew the words would get to Andelus continent eventually when the king decided to make it public about the lycan and the black magic, but it shouldn't be this fast. At the very least, the fastest they would get any reaction from the Holy Kingdom, it would be three months from now. 

The guard looked hesitated, as if he was about to speak something, but he didn't know how to start it. 

"Speak!" Lady Cyan hissed through her gritted teeth. She was no longer looked as calm as she used to be and rather terrifying at this moment. 

"It was prince Alan, who sent the letter to the Holy Kingdom, he explained everything that happened here and asked them for help, to retrieve his position and prove his innocent."

And how the guard knew about that when it was only Lou and Alan himself, who knew the gist of the letter?

Of course, it was because the merchant leaked the information… so the guard could explain this to the king. 

Without saying a word, Cyan rushed out of the room, barefooted and with only a thin cloak to cover her nudity. She couldn't care less about her appearance right now. She needed to discuss this with her brother and hastened their plan, or else, everything they had worked on would go to the drain. 

All of the report about what happened in the south was bullshit! She knew damn well there was no black magic in the south! Especially at that scale, which involved the five packs. 

With all the alphas had been executed, it only left Cane alone as the alpha from the south and lady Cyan was not that stupid to see what the alpha from the Howling Wolf pack aimed for. 

Cane was so sleek and cunning, she underestimated him. 

Yet, the question was; was everything that happened only a coincidence? Or was that had been planned beforehand? Was that premeditated? And how could anyone involve a lycan? Who had summoned that creature? Was that Cane, who had summoned it? He performed a black magic? The thought of it was beyond her…

Cyan couldn't say for sure about that. 

=========================== 

Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was so still, aside from the sound of hooves beats, both Cane and Iris didn't say anything. They were weirdly silence through the journey to the fortress, where the alpha had ordered them to put the heads of the five alphas. 

It took two hours to reach the fortress by carriage from the pack house and when the carriage stopped, Cane walked out first before he helped Iris to get down. They did it naturally and everyone, who were presence there could tell they had done it countless time before. 

Once Iris had steadied herself, she let go of Cane's hand and walked closer to the fortress, where she could see the five heads on the spikes. 

Iris immediately recognized Gill's head, despite the head lost it lower jaw. If the other heads were being cut off by their neck, Gill's head was being ripped off from his mouth. 

"What happened to his mouth?" Iris asked calmly, her eyes fixed on weird cut of alpha Gill's head. She didn't blink and her blue eyes held no trace of fear at all. She looked so calm and Cane observed her from the side. 

"I ripped his mouth," he replied simply. 

"Was he in pain?"

"Yes."

Iris said nothing, she stared at the other heads, as if the gruesome sight before her was nothing. Her indifference was very concerning. 

Even Redmond, who stood a few meters away from her, found her behavior was very weird, as if Iris had turned into someone else. 

There was no tear, she didn't even avert her gaze, but there was no anger as well. Her lack of emotions made him frowned deeply. He thought, she would stay inside the bedroom for a few days before they returned to the Howling Wolf pack, because that was the plan Cane had for her, but who would have thought she would ask to come here?

Redmond didn't believe that at first, but now, he was unsure what to believe. Iris looked like someone else…

"He deserved that," Iris said after a long silence, responding to Cane's confirmation about how alpha Gill was in pain when he died. 

"Yes."

"And also Kellan, the king, and all the people like them. They deserve that."2

Cane stared at Iris and for the first time, he saw the depth of hatred in her eyes. Her blue eyes looked so dim and it filled with rage and anger, he didn't know she would be able to have. 

Right at the same time, miles away, the light of the five swords dimmed. 

"Cane, we have problem," Jace said, as he interrupted the alpha and luna's moment, because this matter was so urgent and Cane needed to know about this immediately. 

Iris tilted her head when she saw Jace came over. 

"Speak," Cane said, but the beta looked reluctant because Iris was so close and she stared at him now, but when the alpha didn't say anything, he didn't have any other choice, but to report it in Iris's presence. 

"A woman just arrived in the Howling Wolf pack in this morning and she claimed, she is pregnant with your child."

Cane glanced at Iris first, as he caught her expression slightly turned sour. "Who is this woman?" he asked calmly, as if he didn't bother with the news at all, since he was well aware the only women, he had been intimated with were Aria and his mate.
