487: DON'T GO ANYWHERE

DON'T GO ANYWHERE

2Redmond looked around the room, as the member of the Howling Wolf pack were walking out of their safety place. He scratched his head and craned his neck, his expression was contorted. 

"Looking for someone?" Jace approached him, nudging his shoulder. "If you are looking for your baby's momma, Maria has taken her to her bedroom."

Redmond scoffed. "I am not looking for her, why should I?" he then walked away toward the pack house and the beta could only shake his head in disbelieve. 

"I can't imagine what kind of personality the baby will have when they grow up later," he mumbled under his breath. He still needed to make a searching team to find Cane in the mountain. It had been more than half a day, the alpha was there with the king and the dark witch. He didn't dare to imagine the worst. "Call the other warrior, we will go to the Goffa mountain," the beta instructed one of the warriors. 

"I am going with you too," Lou said, he was cleaning up his long swords, while Sabian helped Lil Thing to clean up his wounds after the battle. The poor bear sat down dejectedly, licking his wounds and whimpering pitifully. Its soft fur mated with dry blood. 

Jace frowned. He was thankful for his help, but he was still cautious with this merchant, especially when he learned this merchant was a magic user too. They didn't know what they would see there and he didn't think it was wise to take him with them. 

However, before Jace could reject that, Koda approached him as well. 

"I am going too," Koda said firmly, didn't leave any chance for Jace to refuse him. "My alpha is still out there, I need to know how he is. I am going."

Lou tilted his head and gave Jace an innocent smile, as if telling the beta if Koda could go, so did he. 

"Fine, be ready, we are leaving in ten minutes," Jace grumbled, he hoped he could meet with Ethan first, so he could learn the situation there better. 

But, he still had this nagging feeling when he couldn't find his sister. 

"Carla, where is Aliana? She is not with you all?" Jace asked a young girl around the age of sixteen, who used to help Aliana, as the group of children from the orphanage walked out of the safety place. 

Today was a nice morning with sun shone warmly, only if this horrendous thing didn't happen, it would be a perfect day. 

"Miss Aliana went with gamma Ethan and a few young warriors, but I don't know where they were going," Carla replied, since she was given an order when she bumped onto her to take care of the children with the other girls around her age. 

"Aliana went with Ethan?!" Jace raised his voice without him realizing it and Carla flinched, she cowered away, afraid with the anger that came from the beta. "I am going to kill Ethan for this!"

However, Jace was too furious to notice that, as he gathered all the people quickly. 

"You said ten minutes!" Lou complained when they were ready to depart only after less than five minutes. 

============================== 

"Let's rest for a while, you look so pale," Iris said worriedly, as she tilted her head to look at Cane. She was very concern about his current state, he looked like he was going to collapse anytime soon. 

However, despite how lethargic he looked like right now, his grip on her waist was so tight, as if he was afraid, someone would snatch her, if she was not being so close with him. 

"I am fine, let's keep going." Cane wanted to be within his pack territory as soon as possible, only then he could put his guard down a little bit. 

"No, you are not," Iris said, she almost cried with worry when Cane neglected his well being. "Let's wait for them near the river," Iris said, as she could hear the stream in the distance. She was still in awe with so many sounds that she could hear, she didn't think the world could be so noisy, but at the same time, it was comforting, depended on what sound she heard. 

But of course, her favorite one was Cane's voice, she felt like she could listen to him for all day and night. Yet, this was not the right time for her to gush over his delightful voice. 

"No. I can't pick up their scent if we near the water." Probably because he was too tired, but he barely could smell anything around him. How exhausted he was at this point?

"It's okay, Haco is moving closer to the river too," Iris replied and this made Cane frowned. 

"How do you know that?"

"Haco is reek of black magic. I can feel it. He is moving closer to the river," Iris said. "Let's wait there, okay?"

This time, the alpha obliged and let Iris led the way, as he was having a hard time to walk. 

Once they were near the river, Iris sat Cane down against a big rock and was about to leave, but the alpha was immediately on alert and caught her wrist. His eyes became sharp. 

"Where are you going?" Cane growled. 

"I am going to get some water for you."0

"No. Stay with me."

"Cane…"

"No, Iris. Stay with me." Cane pulled Iris closer, until she sat down on his laps and cradled her. "You said Haco will come, let him get some water for us."

Iris didn't know whether she wanted to laugh or cry when she heard that. They way Cane said it, as if the sorcerer was their personal maid… she didn't know if the way Cane said his words could be this funny to her ears.

Iris chuckled when Cane nudged her neck and rested his head on her shoulder, but then she saw something in the distance.

She had seen this before, but not this many…
