399: THE LYCAN AND HIS MATE

THE LYCAN AND HIS MATE

Haco was trying to pull a pitiful card, seeing how compassionate Cane to these people, there was no way he would harm a vulnerable and a powerless sorcerer like him, right? He was only an ordinary old man without the magic stone, as the alpha was really careful not to give him too much for him to get a power, he could use to go against him. 

It was only Cane being careful, though he knew Haco would be too afraid to expose himself out there if words got out about him being a dark sorcerer. 

"Are you done?" Cane asked in the in of his whining. Haco immediately clamped his mouth and shifted his attention toward Iris. 

"I know you will pull it through, you made the alpha worried! But, I have no doubt you can make it! I have never been wrong with my observation! Never I doubt you and the power you hold in the slightest!" Haco praised Iris instead. 

"Tell me more about her power," Cane said immediately, since that was indeed the topic he wanted to discuss with him. 

Haco tilted his head, he contemplated for a while and then extended his hand to Iris, asking her hand. "I don't know what you meant with telling you more about her power, but I am sure she is not a runt."

Iris extended her hand and Haco grabbed it. His hand was so callous and bonny, she felt like she could break his fingers, but at the same time, it was strong and firm. 

Probably because of the stress Cane caused him, but he looked a little bit older and haggard than usual. Cane's threat must be so dreadful to put him on edge. 

Haco was silent for a while, as he held her hand. "I am sure she is not a runt. No runt can perform magic, though I can't say her ability falls into a magic category." He contemplated for a while, still holding her hand. 

"Are you checking on me?" Iris asked. 

"Hm." Haco nodded. 

"Is your hand will be cold like this when you are checking on me?"

"Magic user, who perform black magic mostly have cold hands," Haco explained it simply, because the right explanation would be more complicated than this, since magic was vague entity. 

"Lady Cyan has a cold hand too." Iris recalled when lady Cyan grabbed her hand and how uncomfortable she felt. 

Hearing that, Cane's eyes dimmed. "Would she be able to have the same prediction about her like you?" 

Haco blinked his eyes. "Well, if she is as powerful as me, probably…" He narrowed his eyes, as if he remembered something. "The dark sorcerer in the palace… if she really checked on you, then she must be the dark sorcerer in the palace."

This was still assumption, but the possibility of it was pretty likely. 

"So, she is as powerful as you?"

"No one is as powerful as me."

"In that case, she couldn't tell about my mate's ability?"

Haco looked hesitant when he answered this. "I am not sure…"

It didn't cross his mind about this possibility and here he was missing the important part, which put his mate and his plan at risk. 

No. He even got the Holy Kingdom involved in this matter. He was not sure if this would be a good thing or not. 

"Maybe she knew, but maybe she is not that powerful… she managed to prevent me from cursing princess Osana, but she used a lot of sacrifices to do so. At best, you should be careful with her. No dark sorcerer will bring a good thing for you." Haco caught the way Iris looked at him. "Except for me, except for me, I am good. I became a dark sorcerer because of that damn lycan, okay?" He became a little bit defensive. 

"Can you help her to figure out her ability?" Cane asked Haco. "There is something more with her ability."

"I am not sure…" Haco felt so incompetence to repeat the same answer over and over again. It hurt his pride. "I am not familiar with her ability, it does not feel like magic, yet it is similar at the same time, but of course it is not a black magic or something like that." Haco then leaned over in curiosity when he missed the last information what Cane told him. "What do you mean with there is something more with her ability?"

Cane told him briefly about what Iris saw and talked a little bit more about the dark wisp that some time would emanate from him, while Haco listened to him seriously and Iris was stunned with the way Cane hinted she could be a magic user or something.

"There are so many evidence that proof her is not a shifter, neither she is a runt," Cane said in the end of his explanation. 

"Wow… that's a wild theory…" Haco lamented. 

"But, does it make sense?"

Haco massaged his forehead because what Cane said was so wild, yet it opened a lot of possibility, especially with such evidence. "It can be…"2

There was silence befell inside the carriage, as the three of them busied themselves with their own thought. Iris felt like they were talking about someone else instead, because never in her wildest dream, she would be something more than a deaf runt…

Did she really have that kind of abilities? What she could do with it? 

And the first thing in her mind was; how she could help Cane with it?

"Look for more story about the lycan and his mate." Cane broke the silence with uncommon request. 

"Huh? What with the lycan? Aren't we talking about her?" Haco nodded at Cane. 

"The lycan recognized her as his mate, there must be the reason for that."

"Maybe because she is beautiful and caught the lycan's attention?" Haco tilted his head. 

"Scram and do what I said!" Cane growled at this dense sorcerer, who immediately hurried out of the carriage.
