Alan was furious and the first thing he did in the morning was to go looking for Cane. He missed the party because his bastard gamma had left him bedridden and only now could he get out of the bed.
However, he was not in the room and no one was remotely clear headed to tell him where he was.
He had been waiting for Cane for an hour before he saw him climbing the stairs with Iris on his back, sleeping.
"Where have you been?!" He asked harshly. He was alone now, while his old advisor was nowhere to be seen. Meaning, there was no one there to hold him back from being so arrogant and advise him to read the situation before doing something at this moment.
On the other hand, Cane was too tired to engage in contention with this spoiled brat of a prince. He didn’t act his age at all. It seemed his brain stopped growing after he crossed his eighth birthday.
"Scram!" Cane growled, which made him jolt in surprise to hear such a dangerous tone.
Yet, Alan recovered quite fast and puffed out his chest with his nose high in the air. "I have sent a letter to my father about what atrocious act that your gamma had done! He will summon you to the palace and hang that imbecile right before your eyes!" He was so riled up when he threatened him, he wanted to see this haughty alpha cower in fear.
But, Cane only responded with one word. "Okay." There was not even a trace of fear in his expression, if anything, he looked irritated.
"Your gamma will die!" He emphasized it again, like a child.
"Move."
"He and your pack members will..."
"MOVE!" Cane roared angrily. Unconcealable murderous intent flashed in his eyes, which made Alan jump to the side, he blanched.
Once his path was no longer obstructed, Cane kicked the door open and went inside, but he swiftly kicked it close behind him with a loud banging sound, making debris fall from the ceiling.
On the other side of the door, Alan was petrified. He didn’t even dare to make another sound, let alone knocking on the door. He remembered how Ethan almost mauled him if it was not for the others helping him to get the gamma off of him.
It was a terrifying experience and the first time for him to feel like he was on the verge of death.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Cane put Iris on the bed. He saw that the entire room was a mess, which meant Alan had rummaged through this place, but he couldn’t find anything valuable or important enough to pay any attention to.
There was no such thing as generosity and kindness without motives in this world. They were shifters, which meant, part of them was animalistic and it was their instinct to prey on the weak and from what he saw, Iris was the weakness, the very spot he could strike on.
"Yes, Alpha?" Sofia came to Gallot’s side. She was the woman that had spent her night with Cane last night, or so according to what they thought.
"Did he come inside you?" Gallot asked bluntly. It sounded vulgar, but it didn’t make things awkward between them, since Sofia knew her assignment.
"Yes, Alpha," she replied. She lowered her head, staring at her shoes. She didn’t look like her confident self from last night. "He came twice, but after that, I passed out..." She fiddled with her fingers.
"Don’t take any drugs, I want you to carry his baby." The drug that Alpha Gallot meant was the drug that could induce abortion.
Those mistresses and slaves would take abortion drugs or Dragonheart tea after every intimate night to prevent themselves from carrying the baby of their Alphas or masters.
"Understood, Alpha." Sofia bit her lips. She remembered her passionate night and she couldn’t help but blush. If she carried his child, she could be with him again.
Meanwhile, the first thing that greeted Cane when he arrived at his pack was a decree from the King to enter the palace, along with Ethan and Iris, because their ceremony would be carried out simultaneously with Ethan’s punishment.
