466: SACRIFICE (2)

SACRIFICE (2)

"Kill him!" One of the warriors of the Howling Wolf pack, shouted when he saw Redmond approached them. "He is the warrior from the Blue Moon pack!"

All the warriors, who heard that, immediately rushed toward Redmond with the intention to kill him. Ethan must have not thought about this kind of reaction when he sent Redmond alone to see Jace in the entrance gate, as his mind was occupied with a lot of things. 

But, fortunately, Jace was nearby and he stopped his warriors before they could shred Redmond into pieces. 

"Step back!" Jace roared to stop them from shifting into their beast and fought Redmond. Five warriors were seething, but the other immediately backed off. "I command you to step back!" Jace was enraged when his warrior didn't listen to his order. 

The five warriors gritted their teeth, as if they were about to argue, but when they saw Jace's expression, they quickly lowered their head and stepped back. 

Redmond threw them a nasty look. He would gladly fight them all, but right now, he had no time to prolong this offense, as he was so infuriated with the fact Lyle had backstabbed him by mobilizing the warrior from the Blue Moon pack without his permission. 

How long he had planned all of this?

"Ethan sent you here?" Jace asked Redmond. The two of them couldn't be said close, but they were in amicable term with each other, especially when Redmond knew a lot about Cane's plan and his secret, almost as much as Jace and Ethan did. 

There was at some point, Jace saw him as one of them, but he was not sure where Redmond was standing in this situation. After all, out there, those people, who would gladly ransack the Howling Wolf pack, was the people, who he grew up with. 

"Where are those ungrateful people?!" Redmond took a long stride to approach Jace, he was fuming. This was a humiliation for him as the leader of the warrior for not being able to control his own men. 

They were in the entrance gates, which served as a fortress for the Howling Wolf pack and if you went up, you would be able to see a few hundred beasts from its vantage point, led by no other than Lyle. 

"What are you going to do with them?"

"I am going to kill them all!"

================================ 

After making Will agreed to carry the mission to the Riverside pack, he went to the orphanage again to meet with Aliana and Haco. 

Aliana had gathered around fifteen young warriors, as they were tasked to help people to safety if the enemy managed to breakthrough their stronghold. One of these young warriors was Joel. 

Ethan was familiar with him, since Joel was under his command, so he gave him a few tasks and something to be prepared for them to enter the mountain, as he talked with Haco and Aliana. 

"What the hell is happening last night during the dinner party?!" Ethan looked agitated, he couldn't keep his cool. "Damn it, Haco! You put the alpha in danger! Why don't you warn us if you know something is off about lady Cyan?!"

"Damn it, I can't!" Haco barked back. He looked exhausted. His eyes sunk, as if he had not yet slept for weeks. "I didn't tell you not because I want to! But, I can't! Shit!" he kept cursing under his breath, he looked so erratic.

"What do you mean you can't!? Cat got your tongue?!" Ethan was so upset, he could talk so clearly and loudly right now and he told him, he couldn't warn them?! What kind of nonsense he was trying to spit out?

Haco looked frustrated, while Aliana said nothing and followed their argumentation closely. 

"That woman is a mind controller, damn it!"

Haco had never met with a mind controller and if he had any doubt before about the symbol that they found in the Riverside pack, which was the symbol of Decratic, he was sure now that lady Cyan was one of his worshippers. 

As Decratic was known as a mind controller and his loyal worshipper possessed the same ability too. 

============================= 

Seeing the situation was already out of control, this was not even an option to think of a plot and whatnot. There would be no plot if they died. 

Cane grabbed Iris's hand and mouthed to her. 'Move fast and hold tight.'

Iris saw that and nodded. 

If lady Cyan made the first move to kill sir Elijah, it meant, their chance to get out of this situation alive was close to none. 

Meanwhile, the king and the royal warriors were weirdly not having a decent reaction. They watched the whole thing happened, but they didn't have any response. 

"With the cue from the alpha, clear the way," Oliver said in low voice. It was hard for them to communicate once they were in their beast form, since the mindlink between them had been severed, but they had been training to overcome their shortcoming.  2

However, lady Cyan looked at them emotionlessly, as she dismounted her horse and took two steps closer to them. 

"Hand her over and maybe I will spare you," lady Cyan said, as she looked at alpha Dristan. She used her power too much on the royal warriors and the king, she couldn't afford to control one more person, more so, she needed to save up her energy. 

She had not yet reached the main reason why she took this extreme way and the risk to expose her power. 

On the other hand, alpha Dristan actually contemplated to do so, as he glanced at Iris and calculated how fast he could grab her. He did that out of instinct, but his subtle glance and what he was thinking right now, didn't go unnoticed by Cane. 

And when alpha Dristan caught his eyes, he was stuttering. "Al- alpha Cane… I… no, I don't think about that…"

But, before alpha Dristan could explain himself, they could hear Iris screamed in pain.
