Kellan told them about what alpha Colter had done in Diandem pack and the horror what happened there during the time he used the pack as his base for weeks.
The prince explained the situation in such way, which made the elders agreed to enter the fortress, though this was not what they agreed upon in the discussion they had before the meeting with Kellan.
The elders worked on their own and only accepted the voice from among them. Cane could see, they were still holding grudge against the fact he was a lycan and looked down on him so much, aside from the fact he was a shifter.
People in the Andelus continent used to see shifter as an animal, a creature that was not equal to them, since they had two forms.
’If we are going to eliminate alpha Colter, at the very least, we have done it with clear conscience.’
That was how they justified their action and how they didn’t stick to their original plan. Adding more proof that alpha Colter indeed deserved to die wouldn’t hurt anyone.
Meanwhile, Cane didn’t talk much. His words would weigh nothing for these four elders, so he wouldn’t even bother to remind them about their original plan.
More so, it was good if they were more than convinced to get rid of alpha Colter. Let them do it, while he watched from the sideline.
And that was the reason why the fire signal came from inside the fortress, because Kellan managed to lure them in and watch the horrendous sight that he preserved for them to see.
"I have cleaned some, but it took so long to clean everything." Kellan pointed out the blood on the wall. The smell was very strong, even for non shifter, which forced them to use mask.
The original pack member of Diandem pack huddled together on the street, trembling in fear with the sight of them, as they scurried away, but some of them stole a glance at Cane. Of course, they knew him. The alpha had stayed here for some time before.
They wondered what he was doing here with these people.
After watching everything, Elder Xarex finally sent the fire signal and created protection shield around him and the other three elders, leaving Cane outside of it.
This was not surprising to say the least for Cane for not being included. But, his eyes were sharp enough to make Elder Xarex felt a little bit uncomfortable and avoided his gaze.
"You can protect yourself. Our people will come and take down this place in no time," Elder Xarex said, justifying his action, though Cane didn’t say anything, nor he complained about the situation.
Cane scoffed and folded his arms in front of his chest, watching in amusement of what these elders were doing without any shame at all.
"It seems, you have been betrayed," Kellan marked, he knew what the fire signal meant and he had his men ready, sealed the gates. Actually, he knew Cane didn’t care much about alpha Colter, thus he was rather surprised to know he agreed to meet with him.
As it turned out, the elders from the Holy Kingdom had known about the fact Cane was the lycan.
"It’s pretty disappointing, since I want to be the one to tell them about you as the lycan." Kellan tilted his head, behind him was a dozen of magic users and countless warriors in their beasts form, ready to take Cane down in his signal. "I can’t believe it, you fool me about it. I even believed that."
"It’s not that hard to fool you, you are not so smart to begin with," Cane said calmly, which made a flicker of hatred crossed Kellan’s eyes, but then he smiled beautifully like usual. His smile was always calm and sweet.
Meanwhile, alpha Derick and Cezi only now learned about this truth. To say they were shocked that Cane was the lycan was an understatement.
And now all the horror stories about the lycan that Cane created himself had backfired at him. Not to mention about the fact that a story about a lycan was not a lovely one.
"You are the lycan? You are the one, who killed prince Vemion and many more?" Cezi asked, he was flustered. He wanted to believe Cane on what he was saying about prince Kellan, but now when he learned he was the lycan, he was not sure where he had to stand now. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Cane glanced at the elders, sure enough these imbeciles revealed that on purpose.
Despite on the surface they were working together, but in this world, where you could find someone stabbed someone more often than not, it was not surprising what Elder Xarex was trying to do.
This was a plot against a plot. At this point, you wouldn’t be sure, who you could trust. Cane was in danger, either it came from the elders, alpha Derick and Cezi, or Kellan and his men.
"We can’t break the protection." One of the magic users informed Kellan about this. They couldn’t even crack the protection shield around the elders, which left Cane in a position of an open attack.
"Don’t you feel the anger for them to abandon you?" Kellan smirked, he taunted Cane, he showed his real self now, there was no more politeness between them, neither a fake kindness and respect.
Cane scoffed. "They are right about me can protect myself." The alpha looked relax, as if he simply there to watch the show, when he was the main event.
