Zale returned with Sabian, but there was another extra person, who came with the two of them, it was Nala.
When she heard Lou called for Sabian, she insisted to come and despite Zale sharp refusal to not take her with them, the woman didn’t want to listen at all and came along anyway.
Knowing the situation and they were in the critical time, Zale let that woman came too.
Zephyr asked him why he took Sabian and Nala with him to the area they found Aliana and the other, but Zale only explained Lou needed them and Ethan said not to let the other to come without his permission.
Zephyr said nothing, but he watched as the young shifter shifted into his beast, so did Nala, while Sabian followed the two of them. He was deep in thought. He had his own speculation, but he didn’t have proof for that.
"Master... what are you doing here?" Sabian asked, panting. He was too old for going down here and it took him forever to be able to reach this spot alive.
"Ck! You take so long!" Lou grumbled. "Do you bring what I ask for?" This question was directed to Zale, who looked at Ethan first before he handed a small pouch filled with magic stones to the merchant. "Use this and assist me to lift all those fucking rocks."
Sabian blinked his eyes. "What rocks? That rock? Which one?"
"All of them."
"Are you crazy!" Sabian immediately cleared his throat and softened his voice. "Master, I don’t think you can do it, even with me assisting you."
"Do you want to tell me that I am weak?!" Somehow, Lou felt like he heard Cane’s voice, who agreed with him that he was weak. This was annoying and upset him further. "I can do it! I am the best sorcerer!"
"Master, it will mess up with your mana flow, you just created portal not so long."
Zale leaned toward Nala and whispered to her. "Is he a sorcerer? I thought he is a merchant."
Nala glanced at the young boy, but said nothing.
Meanwhile, it didn’t take long for Lou to make Sabian did what he ordered him to do. He spilled all the magic stones from the pouch and grabbed them tightly. "You owe me this!" he growled at Ethan.
===============================
Cane woke up when he felt Iris shivered in his arms, as it turned out the fire in the fireplace almost died out. He immediately got up and pulled the blanket to cover Iris’s naked body before he added more firewood and the room became very warm again.
Iris curled her body, as if she was hugging her stomach when Cane returned to bed. She was sound asleep, her lips were slightly ajar and you could hear how she snored softly.
Cane stretched out his hand and tucked her away from her face, but he discovered her the bruise on her shoulder, which made him frowned. He must have bitten her too harsh earlier and lost his control.
He pulled down the blanket and scrutinized her body again, looking for another bruise or any signs that indicating he had hurt her.
Thankfully, aside from the bruise on her shoulder and his fingerprints around her wrists, there was nothing more. Still, Cane was not happy with himself. He became barbaric again with her.
His eyes then fell on her swollen belly, he caressed her tummy lightly, but it tickled her so he stopped before he woke her up.
"I am sorry..." Cane whispered to her ear and kissed her cheek, he tucked her inside the blanket, making sure she was warm before he left to meet with Koda.
It must be still early in the morning, though it was hard to tell when the sky looked the same.
After Cane cleaned himself up and put on his cloak, he ordered Dean and Pax to keep his eyes on his mate, but he was sure, Iris wouldn’t wake up for another hours.
"Alpha Cane, what are you doing here?" Koda asked, he looked unkempt. He was still sleeping when his guard informed him Cane wanted to see him. "This is still early morning." His voice hoarse, as he followed Cane to the garden.
"There is something important I want to let you know."
"What is it?" Koda furrowed his brows. What important thing that he wanted to tell him, until he woke him up so early in the morning. More so, it was only him. If something was really important, alpha Colter should be here too to know, right?
"I will make this quick." Cane stopped walking and then turned around to face Koda. "Are you giving up to be a regent for the baby?"
"What?!" Koda was shocked, just like what Cane had predicted. "Of course not! This is my right to be my great grandson’s regent. Where did you get that idea, alpha Cane?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
If there was one thing that Cane learned from lady Cyan, it must be her method to attack her enemy from within. You should know where to hit and leave a crack.
