347: CHAOS IN THE CAPITAL CITY

CHAOS IN THE CAPITAL CITY

When the first light of the sun touched the sky, people gathered in front of the gates, they demanded the punishment for the crown prince for the crimes he had committed. Not only because Alan had played with black magic and summoned a cursed creature such as the lycan, but also because he had cursed his own family and trapped many servants in his palace, tortured them cruelly. 1

Yes, they knew about all the detail of what happened in the underground palace of the crown prince's place, albeit the king had tried to keep the news from spreading around.

The citizen became even more enraged when the cursed lycan appeared again in the palace and this time, this creature had kidnapped the luna of the Howling Wolf pack.

They didn't know luna Iris for long, but they had been warming up to her because her presence in the orphanage and how kind she was to teach those children how to write and read, she even taught the warriors around her and there was this arrangement for those from low birth to be able to have the same education as well.

However, everything came crashing down because she was being kidnapped and there was a high chance, she wouldn't be able to return just like prince Vemion and probably she had died by now. The public criticized the way the king handled the situation with the fourth prince and demanded the sovereign to do more for luna Iris.

Right now, people were too angry and they demanded the crown prince's head.

"I heard luna Iris was kidnapped when she was having a night walk with alpha Cane."

"Yeah, I heard alpha Cane fought the lycan and rushed after him."

"Alpha Cane is also missing."

"Yes, because he came after the lycan and now from what I heard he is following the lycan that had kidnapped his mate alone."

"He went alone? Without any warriors with him? How brave he is!"

"Yes! It's not a wonder, he is a good fighter and he loved his mate."

"Isn't luna Iris is the daughter of alpha Gerald? How can he love her?"

"I don't know. Probably, for once a mate bond really works between two people. I heard alpha Cane's father also didn't have a mistress when he was still alive."

People talked about the situation and the king was very agitated because he couldn't find Cane anywhere.

"The rumor is true?! He looked for his mate alone?!" King Aeon was furious. "Why would he do that?! She is just a woman! A runt on top of that! He can get all the women he wanted!" Another thing was being smashed against the floor, as king Aeon vented his anger. "Who had spread the rumor?! Where is Cyan?!"

King Aeon felt his head was throbbing painfully and this annoyed him even more, as he became more and more aggressive. All the people inside the room didn't even dare to breath a little bit louder, because they were afraid, they would incur his wrath even more.

The head of the royal warrior, Leon had his head low to the ground. He didn't dare to utter a single word, but he mindlinked his warrior to look for lady Cyan faster and for his daughter as well. The last time, Nala managed to assuage the king's temper, he could give a shot with her.

He knew his daughter had begged him not to throw her to the king again to appease him, but seeing how the situation had escalated to this point, Leon didn't have any other choice. Nala had pleased king before, what was the different if she pleased him again now?

"WHERE IS CYAN!?"

Right at the same time, Laluna went into a labor, thus the whole South Palace was in chaotic situation, as they were panic for the new soul that would join them.

For lady Ayla, this baby was a reminder for them of prince Vemion. Lady Ayla had truly devastated because her son couldn't be found until now and there was no slightest hope that he was still alive. They couldn't even find his body and give him a proper burial if he really had died.

Meanwhile, for alpha Derick and Koda, this baby was very important, because it would be a bargain to the king to make him a crown prince, since prince Vemion wouldn't have the same chance.

Actually, they couldn't care less whether Vemion lived or died, it would be better if he didn't make it, so they would have more reason to weigh the king down with his death.

"It's hurt… it's hurt so much… where is my mother? I want my mother…" Laluna cried, she clawed the pillow and screamed in agony. She had never felt this kind of pain. "Get it out! Get the baby out of me!"

Laluna kept crying, asking for her mother, but she was still in the Red Claw pack and because of the current strain relationship with the royal family, she was not allowed to come.

The sound of her screaming could be heard from outside of the room, where lady Ayla, alpha Derick and Koda waited impatiently to see the baby.

"If you have to save one of them, save the baby," Koda said to the midwives, who were about to enter the room.

The midwives shocked, but it was not uncommon for people like them to let the mother died during the childbirth if there was a complication.

"Yes, sir…"

On the other hand, lady Ayla didn't say anything. She wanted to save the baby too, but she felt bitter because she was in Laluna's position at some point of her life and she wished they would save her instead.

Yet, there was nothing she could say, because that was how this realm worked.

Meanwhile, during the chaotic situation in the palace and everything was out of control and order, the two people, who had been missing and created an uproar in the capital city and the palace, were actually enjoying their quiet time.

Cane was serious when he said he would take Iris to the Riverside pack. Everything had been planned out into the smallest detail.

When Cane shifted into his lycan and took Iris away, he made sure to let as many people as possible to see it. He even went to the city and let a few people to see them. It was easy to recognize Iris because of her hair, though they couldn't see her face.

If only they could see her expression, they would see something odd, because there was no fear whatsoever.

Currently, Iris was sitting under a tree, where the leaves started to grow, the winter had passed and there were so many things had happened during that season.

The lycan on the other hand, started to shift back into his human form and when the sky was brighter, Cane was kneeling down in front of Iris. His face looked haggard. Once again, he didn't sleep. It would be two days straight he couldn't get his sleep and with everything went down, it truly exhausted him.

"Tired?" Iris asked, breeze wind caressed her rosy cheeks. "Come here…" she patted her laps.
