Cane's mother, Chrystal was the firstborn of the previous king, but because she chose to step down from the royal battle for the throne and married her mate, the alpha of the Howling Wolf pack, she managed to escape the massacre at that time.
However, when the Howling Wolf pack fell into slavery, not even once, the king interfered, or helped them in any way possible.
They let the slavery of his own uncle's pack stretch for more than ten years, before Cane could gather power and managed a coup against alpha Gerald. He won the battle, but it didn't mean they could breathe in relief yet, since they were still in a predicament.
"I think we need to get rid of Gerald's children before he comes. I feel he has a hidden agenda with his visit," Jace said.
Of course, the king did. What else was the reason he suddenly wanted to visit this pack if he didn't?
"Do you have any idea why he wants to visit now?" It was only a little over a month ago they managed to trample Alpha Gerald's reign and it was still a pretty heated situation at this moment.
"No." The answer was very curt, but Jace was used to this, since Cane was not fond of talking much, though there were a lot of things in his mind. "We will figure out when he is here."
"What would you do if he disagreed to merge the two packs? Will you let go of the Blue Moon pack?" Jace was a little bit riled up.
"If there is no way, we have to do what is best for our people."
If they let go of the Blue Moon pack, it meant, they had to let go of the pack members as well. They didn't mind those, who weren't involved with the torture of the slaves, but for the higher ranking ones, if they had to let them go as well, it would be something huge for them.
Because those people were the people who had tortured them for a decade and now when they finally had the chance to exact their revenge, they had to let them go? What bullshit!?
"If we have to hand over this pack, it will be better to hand the king a pack full of corpses. I would love to behead them all." Jace indicated those higher ranking ones from the Blue Moon pack to be killed, rather than to see them restore their glory.
"That will anger the king," Cane said simply.
"So, what?! That bastard king didn't even help us at all when the Blue Moon pack enslaved us, but now he wants to interfere?!" Jace was furious. He felt it was unfair and he had never liked the king to begin with.
"And then risk our people going to another war?" Cane shifted his attention toward his beta, he was standing near his desk, putting down the document in his hand. "Do you really think we can afford another war? And what then? We lose the war and become slaves again?"
Jace was silent. He knew that they couldn't afford it now, let alone a war with the king, even a war with any one of the other packs was too much for them now. They lost so many people and the warriors from the Blue Moon pack were not willing to pledge their loyalty to Cane.
Currently, they were working in the mines now.
