"Do what you are told." Cane looked pissed by his refusal, because he knew what the reason for that was. It was not the first time for him to hear a disagreement on this matter.
"We can’t do that. We are ordered not to associate with that place." The man named Arthur looked at the alpha with disapproval. It was against everything that he had learned from Alpha Josh.
"Who ordered you?" Cane leaned his back against the wall, his revered self was so intimidating. He was like his father in his prime, but there was more to him, there was something feral and ferocious about him.
After all, he had gone through something that his wise father would never have imagined. Hell that could change you forever.
"Alpha Josh. Your father will not like this. You know your father well, he must have told you about this as well, right?"
Yes, that was true. His father had told him about this countless times in the past, that he should be a wise and kind alpha. He shouldn’t associate himself with something so despicable like that.
"Yes."
All of them sighed in relief when they heard his answer, but then they grew tense when Cane continued to speak.
"If you still place your loyalty in a dead man, you can follow him instead." Cane tapped Iris’ shoulder to get her attention. "We will leave."
Reading that, Iris hastily got up, but she didn’t want to part ways with the fire magic stone in her hand. However, since Cane didn’t say anything about leaving the stone behind, she put it inside her pocket and looked at the alpha, waiting for him to disapprove of her action, but he didn’t say anything and simply turned around to leave.
Hastily, Iris followed after him, because she didn’t want to be alone with these men, they could devour her with the hatred in their eyes alone.
"Alpha Cane!" Arthur and the rest of the men inside the room stood up. They looked startled to see how the alpha was very different from his father. The aloofness that surrounded him was something that they had never felt before, they felt useless and insignificant before him. "You are leaving? Are you leaving us just like that?"
It had been years since they had been able to return to their homeland, and just like the other pack members, they too wanted to go to their pack, to their home and loved ones. This was not their place, this pack and its alpha was not the one that they pledged their loyalty to. frёewebηovel.cѳm
The thought of dying so far away from their land and unable to return was something that they had been dreading about.
No matter how far they had gone, they still wanted to return to their home. More so, Cane was the only person that they should follow. He was the only survivor of the alpha’s blood.
"Alpha Cane, you can’t leave us like this." The old man moved hastily toward the door, but his steps halted when Cane turned around and looked at him icily.
"Why can’t I?"
"You are our alpha, what can we do without your lead?" Arthur chimed in.
