390: WHO ARE YOU?

WHO ARE YOU?

2"I heard there always be a welcoming party for every guest, who came to the southern pack and the party will be even more appealing than the one, the royal family held," Koda said, as they attended the dinner with Cane was sitting at the head of this long table and his beta was by his side, while Alpha Dristan on his left. "I am looking forward to see it."<ins id="1067137" data-width="308" data-height="298"

"I thought you come here to demand justice for the unjust death of your grandson, not a party in your mind." Cane sipped his drink, as he stared at the dark sky outside. It would be less than four hours before midnight. "More so, it's a little bit insensitive to hold a party at time like this."

Cane just executed the five alphas less than a week and the famine was still lingering in the southern kingdom because of how those alphas amassed the food in their own storage.

Cane wouldn't hold such party and probably would never do it in the future. It was a change that he aimed, not fell back to the same practice.

On the other hand, alpha Dristan could feel Cane was a little bit off tonight, as if a little bit nudge could set him off, thus he changed the topic tactfully, seeing how Koda was a little bit embarrassed with Cane's reply too.

"I need to thank you for delivering justice for the fourth prince," alpha Dristan said. "You have done justice for our pack too to get revenge on behalf of prince Vemion to kill the five alphas, but I hope I could come faster, so Koda and I would be able to see life left their bodies."

"I was dealing with a black magic from the five alphas, I didn't have time to think about your convenience to torture them when my own life was on the line too. Black magic is unpredictable, I could have died if I didn't move fast." Cane's voice filled with sarcasm and alpha Dristan realized, he had phrased his words wrongly. "And now you complained because I didn't give you the satisfaction to torture them when I have to deal with the king, demanding explanation about the death of the five alphas."

"My apologize to you alpha Cane, I didn't mean it in that way. Of course, we are very grateful for what you have done for my grandson. What alpha Dristan meant is; we wish we could come faster to help and assist you, since it is indeed very dangerous to deal with the black magic," Koda chimed in, trying to redeem his earlier comment, he could feel alpha Cane's foul mood.

Alpha Dristan then added. "Don't worry about the king, me and my pack will stand by you. You can keep my word."

Cane said nothing, but his gloomy expression didn't change, which made the situation a little bit awkward.

On the other hand, Jace didn't understand with what Cane was trying to do. Was he pretending to look really upset or was he really mad? What Jace saw right now was; Cane didn't want to be in this room. Maybe because tonight was the new moon, so he was a little tense and worried?

"I hope I can rely on you in time of need," Cane replied shortly, as he sipped his drink again, glancing at the gloomy sky. 

"Absolutely," alpha Dristan assured him and Cane nodded politely. 

However, Cane knew better not to rely on anyone. 

"I heard you have done something remarkable by feeding the poor in the five packs," alpha Dristan said, trying to change the topic. "It was something an alpha had never done before."

"Maybe you can try it yourself. After all, we need those people to run the pack. They are more valuable when they are alive than dead."

Cane's answer was very callous and unfeeling, which made Dristan and Koda's opinion about him shifted again. 

They thought, Cane was as kind and just like his father, as they still remembered how alpha Josh treated his people along with his mate, Cane's mother.

But, this cold and calculative reply from Cane made them second thought their opinion about him. He was not like his father. Alpha Josh would never say something like that and saw people like a commodity. 

"Yeah! I agreed with you!" Alpha Dristan guffawed. 

He was satisfied with the answer and glad Cane was nothing like his father, since it would only give him a headache to deal with a high moral person like alpha Josh. He was too idealist and this world didn't work that way. 

After entertaining alpha Dristan and Koda with some light conversation, Cane excused himself with the reason he needed to check on his mate. 

"There are a lot of women you can have, why would you want to look after one who is constantly sick?" Alpha Dristan was a little bit drunk when he asked this question. 

Cane stared at him for a while before he answered that. "Because she is mine. I take care what is mine." Cane nodded politely at them. "My beta will accompany you."

And after saying that, he left without waiting for alpha Dristan's reply. 

Jace grimaced, he had been waiting his chance to corner Ethan and interrogated the gamma, but now he had to deal with this drunk alpha. 

On the other hand, Cane went straight to his bedroom. This was a guest room, since he didn't want to sleep in the alpha room, the same room that had been used by alpha Gill to bed so many women. 

"Leave," Cane said, once he entered the room. "All of you," he added when Haco and Grace didn't move. 

Hanna, Grace and Haco immediately left, leaving Cane only with the unconscious Iris. 

The alpha went to the bed and sat down on the edge of it, as he stared at Iris's sleeping face. He extended his hand to touch her cheek. 

"Who are you?" he asked softly.  3
