Iris could see how Cane stole glances at Laluna’s stomach a few times before he stopped himself and focused on his conversation with Vemion, as the Prince asked him trivial and boring questions about their journey to the capital city and how the King had prepared for the ceremony.
They didn’t talk about Ethan’s punishment, but it was more likely because it was not Vemion’s place to state anything about it.
From the main gates to the palace, it took an hour by the carriage. This entourage caught the attention of the people. They were surprised to see the banner of the Howling Wolf pack beside the royal banner.
It had been so long since the last time they saw the Howling Wolf pack’s banner and finally they could say the rumors about this pack were true that the young alpha had taken back his own pack from the hands of the Blue Moon pack’s alpha.
However, they were still curious about his luna, because based on what they heard, it was Alpha Gerald’s daughter who became the Luna of that pack.
Yet, since they wouldn’t have a way to sneak a peek inside the royal carriage, thus they could only look at the entourage from afar and gossip with each other. This added to the new stories about the dark magic user that appeared in the Riverside pack, and the tavern became so lively.
Once they arrived at the palace, the men came out first before helping their mates to get down from the carriage.
Iris came out last and accepted Cane’s hand to help herself get down. She stole a peek at him, but his focus was on her feet. He didn’t look at her at all.
"CAPTURE HIM!"
There was a sudden cry from behind Cane and this made the Alpha turn around. He saw the Crown Prince bring a dozen royal warriors as he issued an order to capture Ethan. He was seething, but his eyes lit up with excitement.
He had been waiting for so long for this moment, but Cane neglected the decree and only came to the capital now.
On the other hand, the fifteen warriors from the Howling Wolf pack immediately encircled their gamma and took a fighting stance against the royal warriors that wanted to take Ethan away.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? CAPTURE HIM! DRAG HIM TO THE DUNGEON!" Alan shouted impatiently, his face turned red because of it.
"Is this how you greet your guests?" Cane looked at the fourth prince. Because the task to greet the guests fell on Vemion, thus all of Cane’s pack members were part of his responsibility.
Vemion looked awry, but in the end, he interjected Alan’s order. He used his own warriors to step in the middle of both parties.
"What do you mean by this?!" Alan threw a dagger look at Vemion, when he saw his advances were being interfered with.
