Chapter 645: BETRAYAL AFTER BETRAYAL
"Think about the famine, the upcoming winter and the great loss that my pack and the Red Claw pack had to suffer because of the last battle. Giving up the merchant will buy us some time to build our strength again."
From outsider’s perspective, who didn’t know much about the complicated power struggle and the schemes, they would think alpha Nolan as a noble person, wise and kind to think about all of those above, but the truth was as crappy as shit.
Cane knew it wouldn’t be easy to get any clue of how alpha Nolan had double crossed them all if he didn’t have this incline feeling and the report from his spy in the north.
Alpha Nolan knew what kind of role he was playing and what game he was in, and he did it extremely well. It was hard to find a crack in his pretentiousness by only observing his action.
"I heard the Serafim asked for reinforcement and the Holy Kingdom has sent twenty thousand of paladin and their ships will be docked in the harbor of your pack." Cane crossed his arms in front of his chest, as he leaned back comfortably. For a long chat like this, it was way more convenient when you sat down. "You have never mentioned anything about it."
"I thought, Koda must have mentioned it to you, so I didn’t think the need to share the information that you have already known." That was how easy alpha Nolan lied, to the point, he even believed his own lies.
"It will be nice and necessary if you did next time," Cane replied firmly. He looked relax, but one wouldn’t be able to ignore his strong presence. When he sat there lazily, he looked like a royalty he was. "We can’t afford to have a bad miscommunication at time like this."
"Understood," alpha Nolan said. He hated himself for not being able to get a hold of this alpha before him. In his mind, Cane was that silly young man, who used to fall head over heels for his daughter. Someone insignificant.
But, apparently, Cane had grown a lot during this passed decade and alpha Nolan needed to stop underestimated the alpha from the south.
