Chapter 68: A FEEBLE TRUST
"What would you do if he pledged his loyalty to you? With such power in your hands, what will you do?" Cane asked her point blank.
"What can I do with such power?" Iris asked him back. "If you think I want to take back this pack, I can assure you that’s not in my mind. I don’t even know what to do with my life, let alone with a whole pack."
Cane didn’t give any response to her statement and Iris found it hard to have a conversation with him whenever he had a conversation with himself in his mind.
"May I know what you will do with two packs in your hands?" Iris asked gingerly. Something about him intrigued her, she wanted to know more about him.
Cane didn’t make all the people in the Blue Moon pack slaves like her father did. To be honest, from what Hanna told her, people in the Blue Moon pack actually liked him more as their alpha even though he only stepped up to the position just a bit over four months back.
One could imagine what kind of misery that they had to go through in Alpha Gerald’s reign, despite them being the members of the Blue Moon pack itself.
Cane only punished those who were at fault, the privileged families who abused their power and the wicked people, including those warriors, who refused to bow down to him.
Iris waited for Cane to answer her, but he didn’t say a word, in the end, she changed her question. "What do you want me to do with the former warriors of the Blue Moon pack? Do you want me to accept their loyalty?" Iris looked at him warmly. "At the end of the day, they belong to you even if they pledged their loyalty to me now."
Cane held her eyes. He was standing next to the bed with his arms folded in front of his chest and from where Iris was sitting down on the bed, he looked so huge and terrifyingly cold.
"I have told you I have no desire for power." Iris shrugged her shoulders. "But, I want something in return."
Cane’s jaw ticked when he heard this. Of course, she would want something in return. She would look for benefit, just like her father. It had become a habit of him to not think of alpha Gerald and his children in a good light.
