550 JOURNEY TO THE SILVER RIVER PACK
Koda received a letter from alpha Cane, this was the reply he got when he wrote about his failure to secure the throne for his great grandson. He ed for alpha Cane's suggestion.
Because it was Cane's suggestion for him to return to the capital city and immediately gathered the forces to secure his great grandson's position, but unfortunately, he was too late the time was too short to gather all the forces that was needed, thus he had to suffer defeat.
After this, Koda didn't know what to do. He was not a strategist, especially when the Red Claw pack was left without an alpha and the former alpha should step up again to fill the empty position, while he was still grieving of the death of his son.
"What is it?" Alpha Colter asked. He looked so oldand he supposed to be retired by now, but he couldn't do that and was called to lead the pack again.
The hatred that the Red Cla w pack member for the royal family ra n so deep after they learned lady Cyan had killed their alpha by using dark magic and now, her son was sitting on the throne against the real crown prince."Alpha Cane suggested for us to fetch theSerafim. We need to take the Holy Kingdom to our side," Koda said after he read the letter and then handed it over for alpha Colter to read it himself.
"Hm." Alpha Colter nodded after he read thede tail of the plan alpha Cane had suggested for them. "This is a great plan. We need to move quickly and reach the Serafim first before the royal could get their hand on her, even though it will be hard for us to convince the Holy Kingdom to side with us."
"I don't think so, the Serafim is here because sheheard about the rumor of the dark magic and if we let her know that the king, who was sitting on the throne right now has a dark witch as a mother, I don't think it will be hard for us to convince her to be on our side."
Koda read the situation and the hidden meaning behind Cane's suggestion better. Even though Cane didn't write it down, they should be smart enough to think about how to convince the Serafim and the Holy Kingdom to side with them after all the information the alpha had provided. 1
"Order someone to figure out where the Serafimand her entourage stay." Alpha Colter had been away for too long from this struggle of power, thus he was a little bit slow with his response.
"Alpha Cane has provided us with the informationfrom the previous letter. The Serafim and her knights are currently in the Winter Moon pack's harbor. 1
If the only harbor in the southern kingdom was Chrystal Moon pack, then the second harbor was in the Winter Moon pack and the two of it were the only harbor in this continent.
"Good. Good." Alpha Colter nodded insatisfaction. "Alpha Cane has great informants and is resourceful. It's great he is on our side. Too pity he couldn't send his people to help with the war against the royal family. With seven packs under his control, he has a lot of warriors under his possession." Alpha Colter then looked at Koda. "You must hold onto this alpha and keep him by our side no matter what."
Not only the southern packs were under Cane's control, but the alpha himself was an asset, as he was a great strategist, it would be their greatest lost if Cane changed his stand and supported the royal.
"Don't worry, alpha Colter, alpha Cane and Alan isnot in a good term. The one we need to worry is prince Kellan, who has fled to the Celestial Moon pack, because alpha Cane's father and alpha Derick were prince Kella n supporter in the past."
Alpha Colter thought about it. "You are right, we need to do something about it,"
Koda felt great to work with alpha Colter again, since he was his beta in the Dast. "Don't worrv, IHalf day on their way to the Silver River pack, they stopped for a while for lunch before they resumed their journey again.
But, there was a little bit commotion there.
"What happened?" Iris asked when she steppedout of the carriage and stretched her body.
"I don't know, I will check," Aliana said, as she wasfrowning. "I don't think this is a monster attack..."
The commotion was a little bit different than the noise they would make if there was danger around them, it was most like a flustered growl.
Meanwhile, Cane was dozing off inside the carriage, feeling comfortable with his mate's presence, he couldn't fight his tiredness and now Iris wanted to bring the lunch for him when she heard the commotion.
However, Iris didn't need to wait for Aliana to know what happened because from a far she could see the white furball rolling on the ground, while the other beasts stared at it dumbfoundedly and growled to make it move away, but the silly bear simply spread its limbs and laid down on the ground, looking so tired. 1
It seemed, Lil Thing had been following them from the Howling Wolf pack and now, this lazy cr eature was spent, because it was not usually running too far for too long. In a long journey, Lou would put it inside a comfortable cage with lot of food and enough water, thus for it to followthem, of course, this white bear had overworked itself to follow this entourage.
"Why the bear is here?" Iris approached Lil Thingand squatted down next to it, the li zard on her shoulder peeked through her curls and shook its tail , seemingly was not happy with this creature that almost swallowed it months ago.
"I am not sure," Ethan said, he shifted back intohis human form and approached Iris. "I just realized it when this creature approached us an hour ago."
"Is Lou around?" Iris looked around, thinking themerchant would pop up from behind the trees.
"No. I don't think the merchant is nearby." Ethansquatted down next to Iris, frowning at the bear, which tongue lulled from the side of it mouth. "I have sent a hawk to ask Jace about Lou's whereabouts."
"Can someone get me water?" Iris asked. She wasspeechless to see Lil Thing followed them. Did the bear thought they were going to go sightseeing and would return after?
Dyne gave Iris water, where she poured it into Lil Thing's mouth and the bear let out whimpered.
"Can you get more? I think we need to feed it too,it looks like its going to die from exhaustion."Ethan's frown deepened. "What we should do with this bear now?"bear back to the pack house or take it with them. The first option was more enticing.
But, before Iris could answer that, they startled when they heard Cane's voice from behind them.
"What is that creature doing here?!" Canegrowled darkly. 3
