474: UNREST (2)

UNREST (2)

After killing the traitor, Redmond didn't immediately go back to the safety of the fortress, instead, he shifted into his beast and charged forward. 

Damned those people, who had betrayed him and even entertained the idea of sneaking around his back. They thought they could corner him into agreeing to something that they hid from him in the first place. 

They didn't heed his words at all for joining Lyle in this messed up campaign with the royal warriors. 

"Damn it!" Jace growled loudly when he watched how Redmond started to attack those beasts that came to him. The anger radiated through his whole body, as he didn't back down at all, though he was alone in the frontline. "Is he going to do suicide?!" 

Jace saw that reckless action as a stupidity, but there was no way he would let that mad warrior to fight this battle alone, as he jumped down from the fortress and landed in his beast form. He charged forward as well to assist Redmond, while the rest of the Howling Wolf warrior followed him. 

Many of them jumped from the fortress and landed in their beast form, they used the momentum to speed toward the battle that was going to happen. This was unavoidable. 

Thankfully, what Redmond did, had decline their moral and they were a little bit warry of him, as he fought three beasts at the same time. He became the commander of the Blue Moon warrior not for nothing, as he lived up his title. 

He was furious and felt so betrayed. 

========================= 

"Father…" lady Cyan called him, she looked helpless, like a little child, who asked for a little bit attention from their parent. "Father… we need to go… we need to leave this place, this don't look good."

Lady Cyan was worried about her surroundings, she looked around and felt this dreadful feeling crept into her chest when this black wisp looked like a bad omen for her. She bit her lip to suppress her fear. 

"Let's find the woman… I think his mate is more valuable," she said in small voice, trying to give her opinion about this matter. She had not yet explained to her father about what happened and how Iris had resisted her curse, but her father simply didn't want to listen to her, as he deemed his useless daughter's opinion was second best to the matter at hand. 

"Shut your fucking mouth!" He hollered to his daughter, which made lady Cyan flinched. She was no longer a child, she had the power of her own in her hand, but still, she feared her father the most. "You are the one, who had created this mess! Useless!"

Lady Cyan lowered her head, she balled her fists tightly beside her body, as she said nothing. 

Meanwhile, her father looked like he was going to collapse anytime soon, he looked so pale, as the result how much he forced himself to keep going, though his power depleted rapidly. 

On the other hand, Cane was still in the same position, he fixed his eyes on the dark sorcerer, but he would occasionally glance at lady Cyan and the king, who had been forgotten during this whole ordeal. He looked like an odd ornament in this mess, since he didn't do anything and still sit on his horse, which exceptionally calm as well. 

"Kill him!" the dark sorcerer said through his gritted teeth. Killing the lycan's vessel would weaken him as well, now the alpha was barely able to sit straight. 

Lady Cyan was afraid, the magic that her father perform right now was in a whole different level from her and she didn't want to get caught in it. She didn't dare to approach Cane, but she didn't want to use magic on him too, since it could get tangled with the magic that her father was performing. 

"Kill him, you idiot! What are you waiting for? New year?!" the old man barked at her slowness. "Stupid! I can't believe I have such a stupid daughter!"

Afraid she would aggravate her father further, lady Cyan then chose to use magic on Cane, as red wisps appeared from both of her palms and this alerted the alpha. 

'If you have some idea, do it now.' Cane communicated with the lycan in his head, as the creature had been entertaining himself to watch how this old man drained himself and his power. 

'Don't order me around, I don't like that!'

'Fine. See what Iris will do to you if I am dead.'

The lycan growled and Cane could feel this strange frustration that crept in, the emotions that did not belong to him. 

Now the alpha got his tail, he knew how to control this beast, though it irritated him to bring his mate in this kind of negotiation. It irked him to no end when Lu's emotions flooded whenever he mentioned Iris. 

Probably, letting that old dark sorcerer extracted this annoying lycan would be the best option. Oddly, the lycan thought the same thing, probably letting this ugly lady to kill his vessel, would get him free access to Cane's body forever without any restriction.

Yet, despite what they were thinking about each other, they were still on the same page regarding this whole ordeal. 

Right at that moment, lady Cyan directed the red wisp that appeared from her palms toward Cane and whatever the effect that would happen after being hit by it, it obviously wouldn't be good. 

At the same time, the black wisp covered Cane's body and deflected the red wisp. 

Cane paid close attention to what this lycan could do and what kind of power that he held, since he had been leeching of him and demanded so many things, he wouldn't let him do that for free. 

'Can I control the black wisp?'2

'Not telling you.'

Cane didn't need to, since he experimented on it by himself. Because the barrier between him and the lycan had faded and their consciousness were so strong, as they could hear each other and Lu's feeling flooded over him way more clearer than before, it was a possibility to be able to control this wisp. 

'If the black wisp is your soul, when it suddenly appeared in the past, what's that meant?' Cane asked, all of sudden this question came to his mind out of the blue, as a realization made him frown. 

'Not telling you.'

Cane narrowed his eyes when lady Cyan doubled her effort to go through the black wisp that protected Cane. This black wisp was strong. 

'Did it appear because you want to see Iris?'

'What's wrong from wanting to see my own mate?' Lu retorted defensively. 

If Lu was in any shape or form, Cane would have beaten him up so badly. He remembered how he feared the black wisp would appear whenever he was not with Iris and wreaked his brain to think of the reason why it happened, but when he heard the answer, he really wanted to know, he felt so mad. 

For Lu, it was only a playful thing, where he wanted his mate's attention, but for Cane that was a big deal, since the black wisp would appear randomly. He could expose himself as the lycan at that time, especially if it appeared in front of so many people or in an important occasion. 

The risk was so great if Cane was exposed, but for Lu, it was nothing, since all he wanted was his mate. 

Enraged and annoyed, somehow, Cane got a grip of the black wisp and wrapped it around lady Cyan's body. 

The lady looked terrified. "Father!" she screamed, afraid when her vision turned blurry and everything became so dark. She couldn't see anything. 

On the other hand, not so far from there, Haco and the young beast were fighting a Blue Moon pack warrior, who managed to race toward them, breaking through Ethan and Aliana's defense. 

Thankfully, Haco was there and killed their opponent, as the young beast was too exhausted from carrying the old sorcerer on his back to fight a full grown up, battle hardened warrior. 

However, Haco's power was depleted and the young warrior shifted back into his human form, his body limped to the ground, as he fell face first. 

"Boy!" Haco immediately approached the young man, who looked no older than sixteen years old. His young face covered in blood, so did his body, as three big and deep claws mark on his back, oozing out blood. 

"Sir, I can't carry you… but, I can sense the alpha is so close… you need to hurry to him," he said in weak voice, as his eyelids fluttered, he felt exhausted and sleepy. 

"No, no, no, no!" Haco was frantic. "Don't sleep, don't close your eyes! Damn it! Damn it!" He was not a healer, he wouldn't be able to make him healed himself faster before he lost so much blood. "What to do, what to do?!" He wanted to use his magic, but all he knew was to add more pain to someone, instead of healing them. 

"Sir, go…"

"Oh! Don't you dare to die on me!" This boy was so young, but he fought bravely. 

His eyes fluttered sleepily, but he grabbed Haco's sleeve and spoke softly. "I have a little sister in the orphanage… tell her I am not going to see her soon, tell her I am in an important mission… tell her I am a brave warrior and… I am entrusted with an important mission…" his voice became weaker and weaker.

"You are a brave warrior, your sister will be proud of you."
