Chapter 394: THEIR INTERACTION
Cane had expected the King to come, or at the very least, himself to be summoned back to the capital city, to be questioned about the execution of the five alphas, but he thought it wouldn’t be this fast.
Since people from the Holy Kingdom would arrive, Cane assumed the King would receive them first before he took care of the matter in the south, since time would be so tight to travel back and forth. Moreover, there were a lot of problems within the royal court surrounding the new crown prince’s appointment.
But, as it turned out, Aeon made a hasty decision. This move didn’t feel like him... Cane could feel how out of character his plan to visit the south was. If it was the King that was in charge, he would have focused on the matters involving the court first.
The King didn’t even show himself when the Howling Wolf pack was dragged under the Blue Moon pack control to avoid people’s wrath over the power shift.
"The King is coming?" Iris moved in her seat uncomfortably. Cane said they didn’t need to return to the pack until the woman gave birth to the baby those people assumed was his. "Why?"
"Because of the execution of the five alphas," Cane replied lightly. He stared at Iris and closely studied her expression.
"Or, is it because he wanted to see his future grandnephew?" Iris couldn’t help it, her voice sounded so bitter. She felt this suffocating feeling again, where she couldn’t control her anger and this showed on her expression.
Cane extended his hand and caught her hand that pulled at her hair nervously. "Something is in your mind?"
"Nothing." Iris freed her hand from his grip and stared out the window, indicating she didn’t want to talk anymore.
