Cane thought Ethan had become better and he could keep his anger at bay, but he knew he was wrong as soon as he saw how brutal his gamma was when he killed those savages in the forest. He was not getting any better, but he just bottled it up.

Ethan raised his head and met his eyes. “You know what he said”

Cane could figure out what trash that Alan had spouted to trigger him. “I thought you better than that,” “Apparently I am not, Ethan scoffed, then he added. “I didn’t regret to beat him up, I only regret that I didn’t kill him and my action has implicated you, other than that I don’t care. I was long dead”

“We survived, Ethan

“Then why I still feel that I was inside that damned dungeon? Waiting for my turn to be called and tortured? My nightmare hunts me down even when I open my eyes!”

Cane could see pain and anger in his eyes and he could understand what he meant by that. He knew how it felt when you couldn’t even rest when your body was so exhausted because the nightmare would keep reminding you about those things that you wished to forget.

That was also the reason why Cane kept Iris by his side impulsively. He wanted to escape that torment

too.

“Let me go if you have to.” Ethan thought, once they freed themselves from their slavery chain, they would get the freedom that they wanted, but as it turned out it was not that easy to escape such anguish feeling that they had harbored for years.

If after being freed from the slavery couldn’t stop his suffering, then what else could?

Cane stared at his gamma for a long time and Ethan thought he would blow his top and screamed at him for causing trouble, but in the end, he simply sent him back to his room, as if he was a child.

“Go back to your room, we will leave tomorrow morning.”

“You don’t punish me?” Ethan asked, a little bit bewildered. This was his only reaction after what he had done?

“My punishment can’t be compared to the one that you will receive from the palace. Then what’s the use of that?” Cane leaned his body against the wrought–iron railing of the balcony, as he watched his gamma’s expression changed.

Ethan was only fifteen years old young boy when their pack fell into alpha Gerald’s hand. He lost his family and would cry every night in the first month of their incarceration and even more under

duress.

It was when he was nineteen that alpha Gerald introduced him to those savages that something shifted in him. He stopped crying.

Heaven only knew what they had done to him with those savages for three days straight, because the day they returned him to the dungeon, he was half dead. If it was not for the medicine that Hanna had smuggled into the dungeon, which now they knew it was from Iris, he would have died.

Iris must be only fourteen at that time, but she had helped them a lot even in her young age.

“Stay in you room, Ethan.” He didn’t say it as an alpha to his gamma, but as a brother. It was strict, but there was no anger or malice.

Ethan gritted his teeth. He would feel better if Cane cursed at him, punched him and broke his every bone for ruining everything for him, he literally had put their pack in danger for their action when he caused trouble with the royal family, all of them knew that the king had been trying to find a mishap and he wouldn’t let this matter go easily, but instead, Cane talked calmly.

“Tonight…” Ethan said in small voice. He didn’t need to continue, because Cane knew what he was hinting.

Tonight was the new moon.

“I know,” Cane said solemnly.

“What are you going to do?”

Iris didn’t have dress to wear for tonight party, she was in low spirit to begin with and there was no way she would enjoy it, but she didn’t have any other choice, since Cane told her to come.

He told Redmond to tell her this, as the warrior brought over a beautiful blue dress that compliment her blue eyes. She didn’t have any idea how Cane could get this dress.

But, what annoyed her more was; the fact that alpha Gallot didn’t even cancel the party after what happened this morning, even though the crown prince was bedridden and was barely able to get off the bed after hours of laying down, waiting for his injuries to heal.

Redmond had blabbered about what happened that morning and told her that Ethan would be

sentenced to death.

Okay, he was not really a good story teller, since he exaggerated a few things, which made Iris’s heart

sank.

“The alpha scolded him so much, he became so silence when he returned to his room and as quiet as

mouse.”

That was what Redmond told her, though he didn’t hear their conversation, since he stayed in the

room with Will.

So, the three of them wouldn’t attend the party, which they didn’t mind at all. In their mind, there was nothing good came out of it.

Therefore, right now, Iris perched on the windowsill, waiting for Cane to come. She didn’t know

where he had gone this whole morning and afternoon.
