Cane saw red when he saw Iris writhing in pain as she let out an ear splitting scream, the current sight of her turned his eyes blood red.
"LU!" Cane called the lycan and at the same time, he shifted into his beast form.
There was no way out. There was no other solution aside from this. Lu was right. No matter how meticulous Cane had been scheming his way to get to his goal, his lack of power was a crucial point.
’Do you really think, you can solely rely on your crafty brain?’ The lycan scoffed at him when he tried to force himself out and Cane stubbornly held him back.
’For ten years, you have used that brain of yours, but without my power, do you think you could have broken free from the slavery? If something happens to my mate, I will not only slaughter your pack members, but any creature I can get my hands on.’
Cane knew that was true, but his statement about Iris irked him.
Yet, seeing Iris doubling over in so much pain, there was nothing more important in his eyes than to stop her pain and the only power Cane could rely on was the lycan’s.
He gave up his body and let the lycan get full control over him. It was a crucial thing for someone like Cane to be vulnerable and let himself be controlled by others.
As an alpha, it was in their nature to have full control over everything around them, to be in a vulnerable state was against their nature.
But, at this moment, a realization hit Cane so hard. He was not only willing to give up his dominance and become so vulnerable before the lycan, but he was more than ready to give up even his soul, if it meant, he could stop her pain.
It was not clear since when he felt this strong and deep feeling for her.
The mate bond indeed helped them to get closer, but after everything that they had gone through, he knew it was way more than that.
On the other hand, Lady Cyan gasped loudly to see Cane shift into his lycan form. It was the lycan! He didn’t shift into his wolf, but a lycan!
"No way..." Oliver gasped, he was kneeling down beside Iris, who had lost consciousness. He was just about to check on the Luna, but this happened before his eyes.
The Alpha shifted into the lycan! The cursed creature that was being hunted down by the whole continent!
What about the rumors of the Alpha hunting down the lycan? What about the King’s order for the Alpha to catch the lycan? What about those sayings about the lycan kidnapping Iris and Alpha Cane managing to track the creature down and save his mate?
They couldn’t believe what they were seeing right now.
On the other hand, Lady Cyan used ten royal warriors as a shield, right in time before the lycan could claw her, but what were ten warriors against a cursed creature? It wouldn’t even take a second before the creature could get to her.
"My Lady, we need to leave!" Leon said urgently, as he went to Lady Cyan’s side. "It’s the lycan! The Alpha is the lycan! The whole world should know about this! The people from the Holy Kingdom should know about this!"
===============================
"DAMN IT, HACO! Why have you opened your mouth only now?!" Ethan was furious when he heard what the sorcerer told him.
Lady Cyan was a mind controller! And this old sorcerer didn’t even talk about that until it was too late?! What the hell was he thinking?! Such an important piece of news should have been delivered to Cane as soon as possible, so he would be able to take all the precautions!
And now, he went to the mountains with not enough people to protect him and Iris, while the royal warriors swarmed them up!
"Don’t you know how important the news is!?" Ethan really wanted to kick this old man, plunging a claw or two into his throat would be good too, but then, the sorcerer didn’t have any healing ability. He would die immediately, if he really did that.
"I can’t! I can’t tell you! Only now I broke free from her spell! Do you think I can’t understand the importance of that news! Damn it!" Haco barked back at the Gamma. If he could, he would have let Cane know about that!
The problem was; he didn’t expect Lady Cyan to be a mind controller, thus he was not prepared when she put him under her spell. Thankfully, Haco was also a dark magic user and not a weakling, or else, he would have turned into a puppet, being played by her hand right now.
