429: INCIDENT

INCIDENT

Lu slouched his shoulders upon hearing their harsh rejection for his brilliant idea. Why they accepted Cane's opinion and followed his order blindly, but didn't even consider his at all? 

"Why not?" Lu looked at Iris sullenly, because she looked so mortified when he suggested that, even though this idea would benefit her too. "You don't want to have a child with me?"

Once again, Iris was not sure how she looked like, but she didn't want to look at her own reflection on the mirror right now. She knew it wouldn't look great. 

"You don't even like those people, so what's the problem here? Instead of getting rid of them and wasting such resource, it will be great if we can make the best out of them."

"By… sacrificing them?" Ethan asked foolishly, as he was too shocked to hear such idea from Cane's mouth, despite knowing it was not their alpha. 

"Of course."

If there was one similar thing between Cane and Lu, it must be how they saw the value in people around them, but this lycan brought it to a whole new level of different shade of dark with his suggestion and his simple way of thinking. 

"Luna… I don't think we can deal with him…" Jace shook his head, as he massaged his temple. His voice sounded so exhausted, albeit he only sat there and the day was too early. 

Iris held Cane's hand, it was so cold, as if he had been holding an ice cube. "No, no. We will not do anything related to dark magic, you are not going to perform any dark magic. Okay? Promise me."

"So, no fixing for my penis? Which mean no child?"

Iris really wanted to cry now, how could he talk about such thing so freely without any trace of embarrassment at all. This was one topic that Cane wouldn't talk about out loud, even the people around him, who knew about what happened, would be careful to bring a topic of child with him. 

"No. No fixing it for now." Iris shook her head and then changed back the topic about the dark magic. "No dark magic, no sacrifice, okay? Promise me, please."

Lu narrowed his red eyes. He didn't say anything, but only stared at Iris. 

"Lu?"

"You are still going to make me promise the same thing again? No, I don't want. The last time, it cost me greatly." He turned his head to the other side, so he didn't need to see her pleading eyes, because it would falter his resolve. 

Iris frowned. "When did I ever ask you to promise me something?" she shook his hand, but he refused to see her. 

Yet, Lu determined to not answer her and ignore her completely now and because Iris kept holding his hand, which made his resolution faltered, he moved away to the sofa and lay down there, sleeping again now he was full. 

"The king will arrive tomorrow, what should we do?" Jace looked at Cane helplessly. "Can you do something to bring Cane back before the royal arrived?" He looked at Iris with expectation in his eyes. "Can you tell us again in detail about how the lycan took over Cane's body, probably we can figure out something to bring Cane back."

Iris bit her lip nervously, her guilty feeling resurfaced. She pulled her hair in attempt to calm herself, but it didn't seem to work. 

Thankfully, Ethan and Jace didn't have any suspicion toward her and Haco was there to deflect the topic. 

"Why don't we check the preparation for the welcome party for tomorrow, maybe we can figure something out by the end of the day. I will stay here with the lycan…"

But, when Haco said that, Lu snapped at him from the sofa, his red eyes glared at him. "I don't want to be with an old man like you."

"Damn it, Lu! You have been using me for five decades and this how you see me?" Haco glared back at the lycan. 

For a moment, they threw a dagger look with each other. There was some occasion that Haco would scare of the lycan, but he knew him better to know, this creature wouldn't hurt him. 

"Fine." Cane closed his eyes again, looked like he was sleeping, but they couldn't be sure about that. 

With that, they went about their day and the sorcerer stayed in the study room with the lycan. 

"So, Lu. What's your deal to come out?" Haco asked Lu, who was still sleeping, as he sat down on the opposite sofa. He stared at Cane and felt sorry for the alpha. The lycan could be stubborn and it didn't seem like he was going to give up his body willingly, unless it was Cane himself, who took over. 

However, Haco was not sure how much the damage Iris had made to his spirit and how long it would take for him to recover, if there was a chance for him to recover at all… 

This was a blind spot that Haco couldn't understand about the lycan and the power that entailed with this cursed creature. 

Lu opened his eyes, as he knew it was only Haco in the room. His expression was very serious and his eyes turned cold. 

"The symbol," Lu said curtly, but his voice dripped with viciousness. This was so different from the sullen lycan that he showed in front of Iris, right now, he lived up to his name as a cursed creature, he looked so dangerous.  0

"What symbol? Ah!" Haco remembered the symbol that they found inside the hut when they were in the Riverside pack. "What is it with the symbol? I recognized it as Decratic's symbol." 

There were a lot of question that Haco wanted to ask to the lycan at the same time, but he knew, he couldn't do that with Lu, or else, he would withdraw and say nothing at all when he was being forced to reveal something. 

"It's him. His worshipper is going to revive him."

Haco had thousands of questions in his mind, but he chose one that straight to the point he wanted to be cleared about. "Lu, is the first Serafim was your mate?"

Ever since his conversation with Iris and how Lu called her the Serafim and now he realized they lived in the same timeline, the question didn't come out of the blue. 

On the other hand, Lu's red eyes dimmed slightly when he heard that. He didn't answer the question, but his expression showed sorrow and anger, but at the same time, he looked so forlorn. 

=============================== 

Iris was in the main hall with Hanna to check on the decoration, this was a party that didn't include any sex and endless alcohol, thus to replace it, she must come up with another amusement. Cane had given her a few suggestions and now she worked on it. 

That was why, the party this time, needed a meticulous preparation. This could be said the first party that didn't have a lot of naked women walked down the hall and a bunch of Floence powder, also the smell of sex that permeated in the air. 

But, when Iris checked on the final preparation, from the corner of her eyes, she could see Sofia walked into the hall, tears in her eyes and Jemma by her side. The servant looked furious. 

Iris was not ready for another drama, thus she walked away and wanted to inspect the next thing in her list. 

Meanwhile, the people treated her with respect, as they didn't even dare to look at her in the eyes, but everyone there could feel the tension and the awkward silence, as they were working on their task. 

"Luna Iris!" Jemma called Iris, her voice boomed inside the hall, but Iris had turned her back, thus she was not aware of it, only Hanna, who narrowed her eyes at this young servant dangerously, as if she was ready to tear her apart for talking like that to Iris. "Luna Iris, wait! Stop there!"

"Who are you trying to stop the luna?!" Hanna barked viciously, as she stood in front of Jemma to block her from coming closer to Iris. 

Hanna had heard what happened to Iris, but when she came to console her, Iris simply looked so ignorant, she didn't care about it. She thought, her missy would have cried like usual and hide herself in her bedroom, but she had spent her time in the alpha's study room with the alpha. 

"Move away!" Jemma was rude, she acted like this was alpha Gallot's pack, where Sofia was quite favored by the alpha. Not to mention, she was pregnant now with alpha Cane's baby, which should increase the importance of her existence in this pack. 

But, ever since what happened yesterday, people was afraid to be close to Sofia and this make her sad, because they were afraid they would offend luna Iris and get punishment from alpha Cane. 

Of course, Jemma was furious, because before this they were very welcoming to Sofia, they took care and pampered her. 

"Back off!" Hanna snapped back at Jemma, her body was shaking with anger to see the disrespect she displayed. 

However, Jemma was hot blooded and Sofia didn't restraint her, and it happened so fast when Jemma raised her hand and clawed Hanna's face. 

At the same time, Iris realized Hanna didn't come with her and turned around to witness the whole incident. 

Hanna fell to the ground and blood dripped from the wounds on her cheeks.
