Iris spent her entire morning sleeping, until it was noon and when she woke up, she found Cane sitting on the windowsill. He had his eyes closed. The breeze from outside tousled his dark hair and he looked so peaceful.
Was he sleeping?
Iris stared at him for a long time, she was still sleepy, thus seeing his picturesque profile made her feel like she was dreaming.
Does he dream when he is sleeping? If he does, what kinds of dreams will he have? Iris was curious to know more about Cane. She couldn’t help it. This pull was getting stronger by the day and she knew why. The mate bond started to grow between them after the marking and the mating processes.
Does he feel the same? Does he hug her every night because he felt the pull as well?
There were various questions in her mind right now and she couldn’t find answers to any of them. She was idle enough to think about them in the first place. It seemed her mind had not yet started functioning well, since sleepiness was still lingering in her form.
In the end, she stared at Cane for close to an hour. The sky was so clear, she could see it from the window, where the alpha perched on, it was a bright day.
On the other hand, Cane was not sleeping, he just closed his eyes and felt the wind that carried the smell of rain in the air, but the strongest scent that he could sense came from the very woman who had been staring at him.
At first, he wanted to open his eyes and tell her to stop ogling at him like that, but then he was too lazy to exchange words with her, especially when he didn’t know what kind of conversation they had to have.
He preferred this silence, since his headache bothered him so much, as it would be the new moon tomorrow night. Her scent helped him to reduce the pain.
He liked this quietness.
But then, he heard a soft creaking sound from the bed before her light footsteps approached him.
What was she going to do? Cane was puzzled, but he didn’t move a muscle. Still pretending to be asleep, Cane soon felt a warm blanket draped over his body.
She tried to cover him as gently as possible, so she wouldn’t wake him up. What she didn’t notice was Cane’s body had noticeably tensed up.
Her fingers brushed his skin lightly and this sparked the sensation that you could only feel whenever you have skin to skin contact with your mate. The delightful feeling hummed through his body with that feather-like touch.
Thus, when Iris withdrew, he felt an emptiness.
However, Iris didn’t leave, she actually heaved herself onto the other side of the windowsill, so the two of them could sit facing each other. She then continued to stare at him.
Iris seemed to take the liberty with the fact that he wasn’t looking at her, to stare at the Alpha to her heart’s content. ƒrēewebnovel.com
