章節 176: Chapter 168: A surprise visitor
Cairin Oaks.
It has been a couple of days since the two triplets from the Kendall pack had arrived at Cairin Oaks.
When they arrived, they were welcomed by Alpha Isaiah himself. It was very different from when Noaz first arrived there with Erick and the others. This time, Noaz could feel the atmosphere in the town had greatly changed, for the better. He could sense the happiness emitting from the shifters there.
The two brothers were immediately brought to the Alpha's house. Makena, who had just arrived the day before, was resting in her room and did not realize that they had come.
When they were in the receiving room, together with the Alpha and the Beta, Makena, who found out that they were here, rushed over. She bowed in respect to the Alpha and the Beta before giving her greetings to the two brothers.
She was confused as to why they were here. She had just left their town and if she had known that they were coming here, they would have gone together.
However, before she could ask, her grandfather cut in by saying that, "They're here because of his hand," gesturing at the bandaged hand of Latham, which was in a sling.
Makena's eyes widened as understanding dawned on her. She remembered her grandfather told her years before she was kidnapped that although her blood was quite powerful, it can have some side-effects for those who were not from their pack. Hence why he had been warning her to not easily give away her blood. Other than the receiver getting the side-effects, it might cause Makena to slowly regain her blood back, as in her blood may become depleted before her body can create more.
Isaiah Cairin immediately called for Lita.
Soon after, a female shifter appeared by Isaiah's side. Noaz recognized her as the same female shifter who served them tea and coffee back then. Even though they did not manage to drink the refreshments before Isaiah told them to get out of town.
Isaiah then turned to the two brothers and introduced Lita, "This is one of the pack doctors, Lita. She will bring you two over to the examination room to have a look at the hand."
Both Latham and Noaz nodded as they stood up. They bowed to the Alpha and the Beta before following the pack doctor out of the room.
Ezekiel Fernsby, the Beta of the Cairin pack, turned to Isaiah and asked, "Alpha, will this work?"
With a solemn look on his face, Isaiah admitted, "Truthfully, I'm not sure either."
-----
Erick was in the living room of his house, where he was watching the sports news. He was alone together with Luka, who was resting beside him on the sofa as his parents went to the packhouse, to meet up with Melody. They were going to discuss more on Latham's recovery.
He was munching on some potato chips, tossing some to Luka, who quickly jumped to grab one before lying back down again, when he heard someone rang the doorbell.
Frowning, he wondered who it could be. Usually, Hamish would text him if he wanted to stop by but he didn't. And other packmates would hardly come over to the Alpha's house unless it was an emergency.
He looked down at Luka, who was still lying down and it looked as if he had no intention of getting up. And seeing how he was barking like madly, apparently the one at the door wasn't anyone suspicious.
He went to the front door and peeked through the peeping hole. He was surprised to see Bastian standing there, looking relaxed.
What the heck is he doing here? And how did he know this place?
He was still thinking of how he got here when Bastian suddenly banged on the door. "Erick, you arse! Open the deng door!" he yelled.
Erick opened the door to reveal a fuming young shifter. And soon, he slammed the door closed again, much to Bastian's annoyance and surprise.
Again, Bastian banged on the door. "Woi!" he yelled again.
Erick opened the door once again and then said innocently, "Oh, sorry, my parents told me not to open the door to strangers. So, I'm going to shut this door again."
But before he could close the door, Bastian had quickly rushed inside the door. With a proud look on his face and his hands on his hips, Bastian laughed out loud. "Haha! Too slow!"
Erick just rolled his eyes and returned back to the living room, ignoring the young man standing at the front hall.
Flabbergasted, Bastian could only watch Erick nonchalantly walk into the living room, sit down on the sofa and continued to watch the news while munching on some potato chips. Totally ignoring the fact that he was there.
Bastian angrily walked over and stood in front of Erick, blocking his view of the television. "The heck, bro??? Is this the courtesy of the Kendall pack?"
Erick narrowed his eyes dangerously at him and said, "Sit down!"
Bastian immediately sat down, just beside Luka with his arms behind his head as he relaxed. "Don't think that just because I listened to you, I'm scared of you," he said.
Erick looked down at Luka and said, "This guy is suspicious. Next time you see or smell him, you should bark loudly and we can call the police."
"The heck, bro!"
Erick just ignored him as he turned back to the television.
"Where's the Alpha and the Luna?" Bastian continued to ask. He scented that Erick was alone.
"At the packhouse."
"I see."
The two were quiet as one continued to watch the news silently while the other was lost in his own thoughts, trying to come up with a conversation starter. Luka was still lying down, ignoring the young shifter whom he just met.
Just then Erick broke the silence. "How come you're here?" he asked, his eyes still on the television. "Don't you have school tomorrow?"
Feeling a bit happy that Erick was giving him some attention, Bastian immediately answered, "I do. But I came over here."
Erick turned to frown suspiciously at him. "Does the Alpha know?" he asked, referring to Alpha Riedrich.
Bastian shrugged. "I left a note while he and my mom went out."
Erick could feel black lines going down his forehead. Why do the people around him seem so reckless? Previously, it was Amber who walked around, looking for his house. Now, it's this guy.
He groaned inwardly. Is this how the triplets and Hamish felt when he acted recklessly?
"You're going to be dead," Erick said seriously. "My condolences."
Bastian looked confused as to why he was sympathizing with him. But he quickly pushed that thought to the back of his mind as he recalled the reason why he came here.
"Call out your wolf," Bastian demanded, with a serious look on his face.
Erick narrowed his eyes at him. "And who are you to make demands out of me? And in my own house too?" he retorted back.
"You don't have to shift," Bastian said. "Just call him out."
Erick was inwardly surprised as to how Bastian knows he can call out Dane without shifting. But he put on a blank face.
Yet, it did not deter Bastian as he continued, "I know because I can do that as well."
Erick cocked an eyebrow in surprise. Is this one of the skills of a lycan?
"So, yeah. I need to ask him about something."
Seeing the serious and determined look on his face, Erick could only call out Dane.
Soon after, Erick's eyes changed and he could feel his teeth started to grow a bit longer. His subconsciousness started to fade slowly. He closed his eyes and once he reopened them, Bastian could see the pure amber eyes. And he knew that he was now facing Dane.
Even Luka could sense the change in Erick as he quietly whimpered, backing away.
Bastian then could feel Amarok inside him stirring, as if he could sense Dane was around. He then stood up and bowed in respect.
"Lycan prince," he greeted, his voice raspy.
Dane stood up and nodded. "Amarok," he greeted back.
