"Hanna, I am not here for a fight..." Kaz said in a small voice, sighing deeply. He rushed here to find the Alpha before he could take a proper meal. It was because of how important he needed to thank the Alpha.
But, the way Cane reacted and what he said completely threw him off guard, he didn’t think the Alpha would say it was actually the Luna, who asked for him to be released. But, why? After what he had done, it didn’t make sense for her to be the one to release him from the dungeon.
Didn’t she want revenge after how he treated her? Didn’t she feel bitter toward him and the others for favoring the woman, who was pregnant with the Alpha’s firstborn, even though she was the Luna? It didn’t make sense in Kaz’s mind.
"I will never forgive you for what you have said and done to her, Kaz." Hanna looked very furious, while the old man could only lower his head. Initially, he respected Hanna more than he did Iris, because before they learned the truth about Iris’ involvement, all the members of the Howling Wolf pack saw Hanna as their savior, while Iris was just Gerald’s daughter.
And for some reason, that belief engraved so deeply, it was hard to be changed. It touched their subconscious level, where they didn’t even think about it, as if that was the hard truth for them and it was still true for Kaz, Maria and some other pack members.
"All of that was a misunderstanding," Kaz said tiredly. With the Alpha’s refusal to talk to him, he felt someone just stabbed his heart. It was so painful to see he lost the Alpha’s trust and favor. "Your missy was too sensitive..."
Kaz immediately stopped himself when he heard the way Hanna growled dangerously. She balled her fists and looked like she was going to attack Kaz right there and then, apparently his skull was very thick, so he was not able to accept the reality. He couldn’t even hear properly what the Alpha said. It was Iris, who had asked him to be released and here he was, having not even an ounce of feelings like gratefulness for her missy.
Not to mention, he tried to play down how hurt Iris was...
If she was allowed, Hanna really wanted to claw Kaz’s face and give him a lesson or two, she was sure she could take down this old steward by herself.
However, Kaz noticed her wrath and immediately walked away from her. He said nothing and left the training ground.
Hanna was not as kind as he thought she was.
"Hanna," Cane called her over. He saw the altercation between the two and how tense his mate’s personal maid was.
But, because they were too far and talked in low voices, he couldn’t hear the conversation between the two of them.
Hanna lifted her head and saw the Alpha, she immediately changed her expression and walked over, but it was hard to hide her feelings, not to mention it was almost impossible for her to hide anything before Cane’s observatory eyes.
Once Hanna stopped in front of the Alpha, she tried to avoid his eyes, but she obviously couldn’t avoid his question.
"Why are you so angry?" Cane asked. He stared at Hanna closely and saw the maid was trying to hold back her temper in his presence, but Will put his arm around her shoulder to make her relax a little bit. The warrior was still very quiet.
"I am sorry, Alpha. I didn’t mean to talk harshly to Kaz," Hanna said.
"Why are you so angry?" Cane simply repeated his question. He couldn’t care less whether she talked harshly to Kaz or not.
"It’s... nothing."
"Hanna, I will not repeat the same question," Cane said sternly this time, his voice demanded an answer from her and Will’s body stiffened, as he slightly stood in front of Hanna out of instinct to put himself between her and the Alpha. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Hanna finally lifted her head, sensing the situation went south because she didn’t give the Alpha a proper answer, thus in a small voice, she told Cane her grievances.
"I am sorry, Alpha, but I don’t like the steward. I don’t like the way Kaz talked to my missy when he informed her that Sofia moved into the Luna’s bedroom because she is pregnant with... your child." Hanna bit her lip, but then she continued. "I don’t like it when Kaz talks to my missy as if she was stupid just because she couldn’t hear."
"Elaborate that." Cane’s eyes turned very cold and Will literally put himself between the Alpha and his woman now.
