The famine in the five packs was pretty bad. People in these packs had to lose their family members from lack of food during winter and now when the ground was warm enough, they could finally bury them. Even so, the problem with the food had not yet been solved.
Their only hope was to start hunting in the Goffa mountain, taking the risk to meet the monsters and be killed by the creatures. Their options were so limited.
Therefore, when they saw carriages full of food, their eyes lit up and even though Iris couldn’t hear what they whispered to one another, she could see their eyes filled with hope and their desire to have their hands on nice food, feed their children and old members of their families.
"If you want to get food, make two lines here! We will distribute the food evenly, you are not allowed to take food twice!" Oliver said in a loud voice to the crowd.
Only, none of them walked forward to get the food, as they still looked confused and scared, since something like this had never happened before. What kind of food were they distributing? Was it poisoned? Rotten? They looked skeptical, but at the same time, curious and excited to fill their stomachs.
Iris looked so nervous because no one was approaching them, she glanced at Cane, who looked emotionless as ever. He didn’t seem to bother himself with this current situation, as he knew they would eventually come around.
But Iris took the initiative to approach a pregnant woman with her two children, around the age of seven and ten.
"Come here, hurry, or you will need to stand in line for a long time when everyone comes to take their own share." Iris didn’t even bother when she took her hand gently and the other woman flinched because she looked so beautiful and clean with her rosy cheeks and brilliant eyes, while she was the opposite.
"I am dirty, My Lady, you shouldn’t..."
Yet, Iris was smiling at her, as she tugged her to come with her toward the line Oliver had mentioned before.
"Where is the food?" Iris asked one of the Howling Wolf pack members, who was still stunned to see what Iris was doing. This woman and her children looked so dirty, as if they had not taken a bath for weeks. They also smelled unpleasant, but the Luna couldn’t care less about that detail.
"Ah, right... here." The warrior handed three bundles to the pregnant women.
The woman looked shocked, she couldn’t believe it and gave the other two bundles to her children. While she opened the one in her hands, the bundle consisted of bread, milk, meat and grains. It would last her for three to four days.
"Follow the line! There is enough food for everyone!" Oliver shouted, as he moved his men to make sure these people didn’t cause trouble. freewebnovel.cσ๓
