592 THE LETTER FROM THE SERAFIM
The next day Cane received two important letters from Red Claw pack and Celestial Moon pack. ①
Alpha Colter from the Red Claw pack informed him that the Serafim had heard about Iris's healing ability and wanted his mate to meet her in person, the alpha's letter came with word from Koda too, where he asked for help to heal his great grandson because the Serafim failed to break the curse on the baby and if it happened continuously, they were afraid the baby wouldn't make it.
After all, this little Vemion was the rightful future sovereign in this continent. Their opponent wouldn't let him to live for long.
On the surface it would appear like alpha Colter seemingly gave Cane a head up about the su mmon from the Serafim, but there was no doubt it would be Koda, who had suggested the idea to the Serafim and fan her to see Iris in person.
More so, if the Serafim couldn't heal his great grandson, he must be clinging onto any hope he could find to save him. In this case, unfortunately, they heard what happened to Joel. It was predictable, since what happened to the young warrior created a little bit of uproar among the warriors, as they overjoyed for him.
Cane was not really happy with the letter. He could ignore alpha Colter, since he owed him a lot, but with the Serafim, Cane couldn't take a risk to make an enemy out of the Holy Kingdom, unless it was necessary.
Meanwhile, the letter from the Celestial Moon pack mentioned about the aggressive attack from the monster. The attack became even more frequent and it was overwhelming, especially when the royal made them as their enemy too, because they housed prince Kellan and protected him.
Alpha Derick asked for help. He didn't think the Celestial Moon pack would stand the vicious attacks from the monsters and the royal at the same time.
"Tell alpha Derick to hand over Kellan tothe royal," Cane said to Ethan, his voice turned deeper and darker. He didn't even want to write the letter himself.
"You have suggested the same thing, Cane."Ethan reminded him."This is not the first time alpha Derick asked this favor. He has sent similar letter a few times." Though the wording was different, but the gist of the letter was still the same.
"Then he should know what my answer willbe."
"You will lose the Celestial Moon pack if youdon't help them." Ethan narrowed his eyes. "Or do you want to cut ties with alphaDerick? He is your father's old friend. You know how close your father with him."
"And then he didn't help us for a wholedecade of our slavery," Cane stated it in a matter of fact tone. 1
"You know they have been battling with themonsters for their whole life and alpha Derick couldn't send his warriors to help us. More so, it was too late for them." The distance was so great, in that case, they
wouldn't be able to come in time to be any of help for them.
"Not even a single person to check on hisold friend's family and pack?" The simply question shut his gamma up.
Sending a whole bunch warrior would be hard, but sending a sp y to check on them wouldn't be that hard, right? After all, he had ten years to try and come up with something to give them a tiny bit of hope they needed in their darkest moment.
Ethan said nothing, he understood what Cane meant with that, tactfully he didn't pursue the matter further and did what he was told. He sent the same reply that he had written down a few times, since the request from alpha Derick was still the same.
The gamma didn't hold any grudge against prince Kellan, but he thought this was the best solution that alpha Derick should have crossed his mind, this should be his first option when the matter related to the monsters and the royal family had gotten out of hands. 1
The alpha should have given up prince Kellan to the royal in order to save his pack and Cane couldn't send his people to help because he was stuck to take care of all the southern packs, which was not a lie.
The next day, the letter from the Serafim arrived and the gist of it was what Cane had predicted. Iris was summoned to see her because the Serafim was wondering how a runt like Iris could have a healing ability.
"Tell them to come down here, because theluna is not in a good health and can't take a long journey to the west. The conflict between Red Claw pack and Golden Light pack will make the journey too dangerous for her." 1
Eth an grimaced when he heard that. "This is the Serafim we are talking about, is it alright to straight up refuse her?"
They were in the training ground, Cane overlooked the training for the three packs warriors, as this was their first time to train together.
The Howling Wolf pack warrior and the Bloody Moon warriors had bonded during
their time to the Diandem pack, but the warrior from this pack, seemed a little bit standoffish to accept that their pack had been taken over by different alpha.
Without any words from the current king about Cane's status, they still couldn't accept the same alpha, who had killed their alpha to be their new leader, especially when alpha Adrian's offsprings were still alive, though they were little, they could wait for another year until they were ready to lead the pack.
It was a tricky situation.
"Will she send someone to ensure my matesafety when we crossed the territory?"Cane gave Ethan a look, which he didn't want to be argued.
All the people in this continent knew that Golden Light pack was the pack of warriors, where all the pack member were trained to be one, because this was the pack that filled the position of the royal warriors for decades. It was not a simple task to fight them, they needed to be prepared for a full blown battle, once they encountered them.
Knowing how overprotective Cane was with Iris, Eth an didn't say anything anymore and immediately did what he was told like usual.
"Ah, Cane," Ethan said, he turned aroundand approached Cane again. "I forgot to tell you this."
"What is it?"
Ethan frowned, the next words were difficult for him. "Oliver's remain has arrived in the pack, Kaz gave him a proper burial." There was still a lump in his throat every time he talked about Oliver. It would always bother him that they parted way in bad term.
"Okay."Cane nodded in acknowledge andglanced at Ethan's complicated expression, as he patted his back and walked away, as if telling him that he didn't need to be bothered with that. Cane knew what disturbed Ethan's peace, but the truth would be forever a secret.
The letter from Cane reached Abby soon enough and she was not really happy with the rejection, though it did make sense.
"We can't take the risk to cross the territoryand put the Serafim in danger," Lia m said to alpha Colter and Koda."You must send someone to get the luna here."
Koda and alpha Colter was a little bit pissed off with this knight because he used to talk in commanding tone and for someone like them, it didn't sit well with their sense of authority.
Not to mention the Serafim failed to cure his great grandson, it tainted the image of the Serafim in Koda's eyes.
"I will talk to alpha Nolan to send someoneto escort the luna." Alpha Colter broke the silence between them. "I am sure, he will be more than willing to help, after all, it has been a while, since he saw his son in law."
From the territorial point of view, Winter Moon pack was closer to Diandem pack, thus it would safe them the trouble to cross the Golden Light pack's territory twice, if they sent their own warriors to fetch luna Iris.
"Alpha Nolan from Winter Moon pack?"Abby asked.
"Yes." Alpha Colter nodded firmly and Kodaseemed happy with the solution.
Alpha Nolan was the alpha of Winter Moon pack, in which the former pack of Aria and Leane, Cane's destined mate.
"It will be a reunion for them," Kodacommented under his breath and wrote the letter himself to be sent to alpha Cane, once they got the confirmation from alpha Nolan that he was the one, who would lead the warrior to meet Cane and his mate in Diandem pack.
The let ter reached Cane and he didn't seem to be happy with it.
"They will be here within three to four daysand the merchant from the Karam will be arrived a week from now," Ethan said, pointing out the timeline. It was a little bit tight and he thought it would be a little bit hectic if alpha Nolan was here when the merchant arrived, but there was even more problem. "Are you fine to meet with him?"
Alpha Nolan was the father of Leane and it would bring back memories from the past. 1
For a moment, Cane didn't say anything, but then he told Ethan to prepare room for alpha Nolan and his warriors.
"Where are you going?" Ethan frownedwhen he saw Cane walked away after he gave him the instruction.
However, the alpha didn't answer his question and kept walking away.
