Lc was actually a little bit sceptic when Hunter told her that Aiden would relent, because as far as


    she knew he was very stubborn. He wouldn’t relent easily.


    But, as things turned out, she didn’t really know him at all, because not long after they could hear


    Aiden’s voice shouted from outside of the carriage. He demanded Hunter to talk with him again.


    “Alpha Hunter! How much do you mean by the cost of war?!” Aiden asked. He was trembling out of


    anger. He didn’t want to give this lycan a cent, especially after he took Lc away from him, but then he


    couldn’t afford to lose his baby.


    He would treat this as a way for him to redeem himself after he caused this earlybor and put his child


    in danger. This justified what he did to Ruby and their unborn child, so he would feel less guilty.


    “I told you, right?” Hunter kissed Lc’s lips briefly before he pushed her behind him, still didn’t want for


    Aiden to catch a glimpse of her.


    “I think you know him better than I did,” Lc muttered to herself, but Hunter heard it and pinched her


    thigh lightly to warn her.


    It was not sure whether he disliked what Lc said about him knew Aiden better than she did, or he


    didn’t like his woman talked about another man in his presence.


    “A thousand gold,” Hunter blurted out to Aiden, in which almost made him fell to his knees to hear the


    amount that he demanded.


    “Are you crazy!? The cost of the war will not reach that number!” Actually, it was Aiden, who was being


    driven crazy by Hunter because he couldn’t help, but vexed by how easy it was for him to blurt the


    number.


    Forparison, his pack only spent two hundred gold for a whole year, but here Hunter was, trying to


    squeeze him dry by asking five times of his pack spending!


    “There is no need to have a discussion if you don’t want to.” Hunter then told the coachmen to go and


    bark to the whole warrior. “What are you waiting for?! Are we going to spend the night here?!”


    Lc didn’t know what to do now, this was the worst bargain ever. Actually, this was not even a


    bargaining to begin with, because Hunter didn’t have any intention to help. He only wanted to make


    things difficult for Hunter.


    However, Lc felt bad for the baby, thus she tried to find a way for both parties to meet in the middle.


    She knew Aiden couldn’t afford such amount, thus she tugged Hunter’s sleeve, she put an innocent


    expression so he wouldn’t be suspicious.


    Meanwhile, Aiden was trying to stop them from moving.


    “Hunter, do you know that a thousand golds is worth of five years the pack spending?” Lc started, her


    voice was soft.


    “Yes, I know,” Hunter said lightly, he had his way to figure that out, that was when he got the number.


    Well, he was not as clueless as Lc thought.


    He gave Aiden an astronomical amount because he knew it would put him in difficult situation. He was


    very cun ning and rather malicious with his method.


    Lc was still trying to figure out what the reason Hunter killed his own father in more detail.


    “Hunter, what if you made apromise?” Lc wanted tough when she saw the alpha made a face


    when he heard that. He must have never heard the word ofpromise, since he would get what he


    wanted or schemed his way to get it, either way, he would get a grip of the thing he wanted in the end.


    There was nopromise for him. It was his way or no way.


    Therefore, it would be a challenge for Lc to convince him to agree with her. She was not sure how it


    would end up, but at the very least she needed to try.


    She hated Aiden and Ruby for giving her so much pain, but she needed to thankful for them because


    what they did to her had brought her to Hunter and she was more than happy to have him as her mate.


    “Hunter, actually there is something that I want from them, but I don’t think he will give it to me,” Lc


    said, she knew how to read the situation and grab Hunter’s attention.


    “What do you want?” Hunter now had all his focus on her, while the carriage started moving and Aiden


    kept shouting behind him. “Tell me, hm?”

    “Luna Jasmine has this beautiful ne made of precious gems, she said she would give it to me


    and I already fell in love with the ne, unfortunately, there is no way or me to get it now.” Lc


    didn’t say it openly her true intention, but as someone as ntelligent as Hunter, there was no way he


    didn’t know what she meant, since it was very bvious.


    unter looked at her intensely, he pinched her chin and stared into her beautiful eyes. will pretend that I


    don’t know your motive and take your words as it is.”


    12:18 Wed, 24 Jan G


    Lc gulped down with difficulty, because it seemed, she was terrible at acting for Hunter to be able to


    tell that she was only pretending.


    “Do you really like the ne?” Hunter asked again and Lc nodded.


    “I really like the ne,” Lc replied confidently. She indeed liked the ne, but not to the point,


    she would think about it. She was fine without it though.


    “Hm. Stay inside.” Hunter nodded and then told the coachmen to stop the carriage, after that he


    personally went out of the carriage and met with Aiden again. Thetter had been running to catch up


    with him and this was very humiliating.


    Meanwhile, Lc peeked through the curtain and watched Hunter and Aiden were negotiating


    something, which upset thetter.


    Not long after Hunter returned to the carriage. “You will get the ne.”
