Redmond was furious about what Cane had done in front of Iris. His action was uncalled for. He had said he was in full control even in his lycan form whenever Iris was nearby, but it didn’t seem like it after his atrocious action of killing Prince Vemion right before their eyes, especially in Iris’ presence.
If Redmond knew Cane would lose control in his lycan form, he wouldn’t have allowed him to be close to Iris.
"Leave," Cane said coldly when he saw Redmond was about to attack him. He was ready to throw him out of the room if he had to. He didn’t have time for his childish behavior, as he clung to Iris, thinking because he had pledged his loyalty to her, he could have a say in her matters.
Redmond was ready to shift and fight the Alpha and Cane was more than ready to take him down, there was a limit for his rancorous behavior and this warrior had crossed boundaries many times.
However, before the fight could break out, Iris finally spoke. "Leave."
Both of them turned their heads toward her. She looked so pale, but her blue eyes were a few shades darker.
"Yeah, leave," Redmond said smugly to Cane, yet his smirk disappeared so fast when Iris corrected him.
"No, I want you to leave, Redmond. I want to talk to him."
Redmond’s jaw dropped. "Are you serious? You want to talk to him alone? He just killed that damned prince an hour ago in such a brutal way. Do you really feel safe to be with him alone?"
Iris had her eyes fixed on Redmond, she was already a little bit calm when she spoke. "If he wants to kill me, do you really think you can stop him?"
Iris got a point. Redmond wouldn’t be able to fight Cane and Iris was not much of a help. The Alpha could kill them both without any help.
Gritting his teeth, Redmond walked out of the room, but he didn’t forget to slam the door. The warrior was upset beyond words.
And now, after Redmond left, there were only Iris and Cane inside the room, as the two of them stared at each other, but none of them started to talk, until Iris broke the silence after a few excruciatingly slow minutes.
"Was that you? Or the lycan?" Iris fiddled with her dress, she did this whenever she was nervous and when Cane took a step closer to approach her, she took a step back. The sight of him holding Prince Vemion’s dead body with his heart in his hand was still clear in her mind. She was afraid of how vicious the lycan was... or was it Cane?
