Chapter 524: SHE IS HER OWN PERSON
"Cane! How can you do that?" Jace rushed to meet Cane once he learned what Cane had decided. "You know I will never agree to it. Why did you make this decision on your own without saying anything to me first?!" Jace was too furious, as he forgot his place for a moment there.
Currently, they were in the fortress. Lou was explaining a few things to Cane about what he was going to do about the protection around the Howling Wolf pack.
The merchant grinned to see how furious the Beta toward his alpha was. "It seems, I am not the only one who is dissatisfied with your decisions. You are a terrible decision maker." Lou didn’t hold back when he mocked Cane, though he was laughing harmlessly, as if what he said was just a friendly joke.
He had been very upset because he couldn’t see Iris, not even a glimpse of her auburn hair, but the profit that Cane offered to him was too important for his greedy ass to stir trouble to this alpha beyond repair.
Therefore, Lou could only satisfy himself by throwing a hidden insult and mockery at Cane here and there, which only left him even more furious because the Alpha never really seemed to care.
The way Cane could be so nonchalant sometimes would always leave Lou dumbfounded. As a busy body, he couldn’t understand how this shifter could tune out the world from his mind.
"Know your place, Beta," Cane said assertively.
Only then did Jace realize he was in the presence of someone else and it was not appropriate for him to talk in that way with Cane.
"My apologies, Alpha," Jace said, he lowered his head, but it didn’t make the tension leave him.
"You can leave now, Lou. I will call you again if there is something important," Cane talked to the merchant. The way he spoke, it was almost as if this merchant was one of his employees and was not important enough to waste his time on...
Though it was true in a sense, Lou couldn’t help it, as he became so mad. Thankfully, he was pretty good at hiding it and smiled like usual.
