"What?" Redmond tilted his head in confusion. He looked at the Alpha, as if the latter was talking in a foreign language. "What do you want to know?"
Cane didn’t respond to that rhetorical question, but the way he looked at Redmond made the warrior talk without posing any other unnecessary questions.
"I am not always around the pack house, okay? So, I don’t know much about it. More so, you would only be able to see her once in a blue moon, since she spent her whole life inside her bedroom. She was a sickly child." Redmond shrugged his shoulders. "Even now, she still gets sick so easily."
This was not the answer Cane was looking for. "Think harder."
Redmond was slightly taken aback seeing how Cane acted right now. He even forgot to stand up, as he still sat down on the ground, looking like a slave in front of his master.
"I didn’t know much about anything around the pack house, since I didn’t usually stay there, I spent most of my time in the training ground and in the mines."
At that time, Redmond didn’t directly torture Cane and his people, but he didn’t stop his men when they ’bullied’ them either and only watched from the side. Well, at times he had bedded some women from Cane’s pack forcibly.
However, the look on Cane’s expression made Redmond try to think harder, as he cursed under his breath. He just woke up and the way he was woken up was not really nice, his mind was not fully working yet.
"I saw them play once, but that’s it. I don’t remember anything else." Redmond furrowed his brows deeply, as he shook his head. He couldn’t force himself to remember something he didn’t know.
"What did you see?"
The crease between his brows deepened, as he clicked his tongue. "It was a normal game, it was a chase and catch game."
"What did they do?"
Redmond rolled his eyes. "I know you were born as the son of the Alpha, but don’t tell me you don’t actually know this game."
Cane really didn’t have time for his blabber, if this was any other day, he would have let it slide and simply ignored his inappropriate jab per usual, but at this moment, when he was only a breath away from losing his sanity, the warrior should watch his words carefully.
"Should I explain how to play the..."
Before Redmond could finish his words in his mocking tone, Cane had grabbed his neck and the former could hear a soft crack, which made his eyes bulge because of the sharp pain.
The Alpha didn’t really break his neck, but he was going to do that and Redmond could see it in Cane’s eyes. The killing intent was so strong.
"They... played chase and catch game... it was Prince Kellan, who chased after her and when he caught her, he would hug her and kiss her cheek before he let her go again to run. That’s it, just that."
In Redmond’s eyes, there was nothing wrong with that, especially when Prince Kellan liked children and he was always very close to them. This orphanage was the proof of his kindness and his compassion toward those unfortunate little ones.
However, what Redmond said rubbed Cane in the wrong way. He didn’t want to point his finger, because he was disgusted by the possibility. Perhaps, he was in denial right now because of how messed up this thing could be if it was true, but his logic put pieces of what happened together.
