Iris watched the lycan come closer to her, he was furious about what she had done, but her focus was on the wound on his shoulder.
The injury made by a silver blade lasted longer before it could heal properly, thus she would still have a chance to get the shard magic stone out of his shoulder.
However, at this point, after Iris intentionally stabbed him, she was not sure whether he would still keep her alive. Iris gambled with the fact that the lycan didn’t kill her even if he had countless opportunities during the day to harm her and the fact that he protected her from the monsters, even though it baffled her.
But right now, she was holding onto that.
Iris pushed herself off the ground and approached the beast, as she stretched out her hand to his wounded shoulder. She knew what she was looking for and also the location of the shard, but her time was very limited and if she missed this, she would probably never have another chance again.
Therefore, despite the pain on her left shoulder, she gritted her teeth and dug her nails into his flesh, making the beast let out an earth- shattering roar. Iris felt her ears ringing painfully.
But, by the time the beast shook her body off him and she rolled on the dirty ground again, she knew that she managed to take it out...
The last thing that Iris saw before she lost her consciousness was the lycan running off, disappearing into the darkness. Did she fail?
Iris wanted to know what happened, but she couldn’t resist the darkness that came crashing down on her. In the distance, she could still hear the painful howls of the beast, as she gripped the needle that she managed to take out from the lycan’s shoulder.
=============================
Aria arrived in the Howling Wolf pack the next morning, she went straight to Cane’s bedroom, but instead of Cane, it was Ethan, who had been waiting for her.
He was sitting on the windowsill, staring at her, as if he had been waiting for her to come.
"Where is Cane?" Aria tried to mask her panic, but she was hardly able to do that. Her body was trembling when her mind started to imagine all the worst things that could have possibly happened.
When she entered the Howling Wolf pack territory, she didn’t stop to ask anyone, because she felt there was nothing that was worth taking note of. She assumed everything was still the same.
But, where is Cane now?
"Where have you been?" Ethan didn’t answer her question, instead he posed her with one of his own. His eyes were so cold.
What happened the day before was a blur, because there were so many things that transpired and they were drained both emotionally and physically. They didn’t even have a minute to close their eyes since all of this began. Both Ethan and Jace had to do damage control, since a few people knew about Cane’s secret now.
They either had to make them shut up or shut them up forever, because the consequences would be dire otherwise. frёewebnoѵēl.com
