Aderan was supposed to be in the Celestial Moon pack, because he would be the messenger between the two packs and also ’Cane’s eyes’ there. He couldn’t return to the pack without further instructions from the Alpha.
Therefore, for him to come here, there must be something going wrong.
"What are you doing here?" Ethan was very surprised to see Aderan here, as he raised his voice which made the latter frown.
"I didn’t know that you dislike me so much," Aderan said sullenly.
Ethan rolled his eyes, but it was Jace, who stirred the conversation back to the main problem. "You shouldn’t have returned without any instructions from the Alpha."
"I returned because Alpha Derick needs help from Alpha Cane. I am here to deliver very important information and I need to see him now." Aderan wanted to see the Alpha immediately, but he was denied entry. Even though his status was Cane’s personal guard, he was not allowed to meet with the Alpha. "What happened here?"
As he waited for Ethan and Jace, he asked around, but the information that he got was very raw and incomprehensive, thus it was better to ask these two people directly.
"What information?" Jace asked, he didn’t expect to see Aderan here, thus, he had not yet thought of what to say to him. Will had already found out the truth, he was still unsure whether it was necessary for Aderan to have access to the same information or not.
"I can’t give the information to you without giving it to the Alpha first," Aderan said firmly. "You know how it works."
Jace and Ethan couldn’t deny that fact. The information would come to the Alpha first, especially when important matters were concerned. Only then, it would be filtered and shared to people related to the problem and the plan.
And for Aderan to return without prior notice, this must be something important enough to demand a meeting with the Alpha.
"Don’t worry, Nexus is still in the Celestial Moon pack. You know him, right?" Aderan thought they were worried because there was no one in the Celestial Moon pack, as Cane’s eyes, but actually, both the Beta and the Gamma knew about it. "I heard some rumors when I arrived, what’s going on?"
"Come with me," Jace said in an impassive tone, which made Aderan narrow his eyes. It would not be a simple matter if even the Beta looked like this.
==========================
The sky had turned slightly darker, even though it was still noon, it had been very gloomy in the past two days.
