"Father! I can’t see anything!" Lady Cyan was frightened by the darkness that engulfed her, as black wisp entered her mouth and ears.
She dropped to her knees and then sobbed, while still trying to defend the barrier that they had created earlier to prevent themselves from being shredded by the monsters like the King.
"Father! I can’t see anything! What happened to me?!" Panic washed over her whole being, as her whole body kept trembling.
"Shut up! Shut up!" Zeke barked at his daughter. He felt like she was a huge burden now, he hated when his people showed weakness. "Shut up or I will be the one who will kill you!"
This was not the first time for Cyan to hear her father talk to her harshly and curse without any scrupulousness.
Therefore, she knew better not to make him even more upset than he already was.
Biting her tongue, Cyan continued to strengthen their protection blindly, while her father tried to kill the monsters that threatened to break their barrier.
On the other hand, probably, for the first time in his life, Cane couldn’t care less about the monsters that surrounded them, as his mind was preoccupied by another matter.
It was the lycan. All this time, it was this cursed creature that had summoned those monsters every now and then.
When Cane shifted into his lycan for the first time, he ran to the Goffa mountain and stayed away from people, as the lycan let loose and killed a few monsters that he could find.
But when Cane had taken over the Blue Moon pack, Iris was there, and he realized the pain decreased significantly because of her presence, but because of what he did to her later, on the second new moon, Cane was alone again, while the third time, the monsters broke through their defenses and harmed a lot of people.
’It was you all this time.’
’Nah. Don’t put the blame on me completely, it was not always me.’
Cane ignored that part. ’You let those monsters go on a rampage.’
’You are not a magic user, your body is not ideal for my power. It’s a little bit hard for me to control it.’
Cane was silent after hearing that and it cleared something in his head. ’You were the one, who had summoned the monsters in the palace.’
Lu scoffed. ’You can’t put the blame on me completely, shifter. Someone else opened a portal to let the monsters come through, I just helped them make things more exciting.’
Cane seemed to understand who that person Lu was talking about. Knowing that merchant’s personality and what Iris said about him being a magic user, it was not hard to guess after what Lu revealed.
Meanwhile, Haco was having a hard time putting a barrier around them, he also watched in horror when the King met his demise in such a brutal way.
"Cane... the King is dead..." His eyes widened, as fear crept in because he could sense the ominous danger in the future. The King was dead in the Howling Wolf pack’s territory. What would Cane do to fix such a huge problem? "Cane... what are you going to do?" Haco was frightened for their future, if they had any after this...
"You can’t revive him, let him stay dead."
Haco frowned and glanced at Cane, as he caught his golden eyes. He only wanted to make sure that he was talking with Cane and not to Lu.
It seemed, the lycan’s sardonic personality rubbed off on the Alpha a little bit.
"I hope you have a great, great, great plan to explain the death of the King in your territory and how his mistress actually turns out to be a dark sorcerer." Haco didn’t realize it in the beginning, but it seemed Lady Cyan was Zeke’s daughter after seeing the similarity between them. He cursed himself for not realizing it soon, but then, how would he know about that?
Cane didn’t plan to kill Aeon in this way, but after the King learned about the lycan and how he was actually controlled by Lady Cyan, Aeon no longer held value in Cane’s eyes, because the real threat here was from those father and daughter before him.
