"If I can, do you think I will come looking for you?" Kaz immediately realized how harsh the words that he said were, but he couldn’t take them back.
The truth about how Iris had helped them during their slavery days with the help of Hanna and some servants spread to the rest of the pack members in the Howling Wolf pack too after they arrived here.
Yet, some of them were still skeptical about Iris and only a few of them tried to have an amicable relationship with her if they really had to, just like Kaz.
The steward was not hostile toward Iris, but he wouldn’t go out of his way to make her feel welcomed or comfortable in this pack either.
"I will look for Alpha Cane," Kaz murmured, as he backed away, knowing his chance to make Iris talk to the Alpha was close to zero.
And without waiting for Iris’ response, Kaz walked away. He gave her a side look before he turned around, which made Iris feel a little bit uncomfortable and guilty.
After Kaz had left, Iris stayed there, staring into the distance, as her mind jumbled up with a lot of thoughts.
She thought she had made progress, but it seemed, the people in this pack would only see her with judgment in their eyes always.
Iris didn’t think she would ever be a part of them...
=============================
"Cane, have you reconsidered this decision?" Jace asked Cane after he found him in the east watchtower, the place where you could oversee the execution area. In the middle of the podium, you could see the gallows.
In less than an hour, Aria would be hung there and lose her life. This would be the first execution under Cane’s order and who would have thought that the death sentence would befall upon the mistress?
"People are begging you to revoke the punishment because this is very cruel." Jace glanced through the window, where half of the pack members prostrated themselves in front of the podium, pleading for another punishment for Aria.
Meanwhile, Cane was leaning against the window frame, staring at the same scene. Yet, it was hard to tell what was in his mind right now. His dark eyes were bottomless.
"Do you also think it is cruel?" Cane asked Jace instead, but his eyes were still focused on those people.
"We can banish her from the pack," Jace suggested, he had suggested this idea as soon as he learnt about the punishment Cane gave to Aria.
"Where will she go?"
