By the time the first rays of the sun adorned the sky, people gathered in front of the gates, demanding the Crown Prince to be punished 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, to take pleasure in torturing them cruelly.
Yes, they knew about all the details of what happened in the underground part of the Crown Prince’s palace, albeit the King tried to keep the news from spreading around.
The citizens became even more enraged when the cursed lycan appeared again in the palace and this time, this creature had actually kidnapped the Luna of the Howling Wolf pack.
They didn’t know Luna Iris for long, but they had been warming up to her thanks to her constant presence in the orphanage and how kind she was to teach those children how to write and read. She even taught those warriors around her and there was this arrangement for those from low birth to be able to receive the same education as well.
However, everything came crashing down because she had been kidnapped and there was a high chance she wouldn’t be able to return just like Prince Vemion. She too probably died already. The public criticized the way the King handled the situation with the fourth prince and demanded the sovereign to do more for Luna Iris at least.
Right now, people were too angry as they demanded the Crown Prince’s to be beheaded.
"I heard Luna Iris was kidnapped when she was taking 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 went after the lycan and 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 of him!"
"Yes! It’s not a wonder, he is a good fighter and he loves his mate."
"Isn’t Luna Iris Alpha Gerald’s daughter? 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 went looking 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 wants!" 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 throbbing painfully and this annoyed him even more, as he became more and more aggressive. No one inside the room dared to breathe even a little bit louder, because they were afraid they would incur his wrath even more.
The head of the royal warriors, Leon, hung his head low, his nose almost kissing the ground. He didn’t dare to utter a single word, but he mindlinked his warriors 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. However, the situation had spiralled so out of control, which left Leon without any other choice. Nala had pleased the King before, countless times at that. What would be the difference if she had to please him one more time?
