"You can wait in one of the rooms, while I take her back to our bedroom," Cane said lightly, as he put his arm around Iris’ waist.
"Why can’t she participate in our conversation? She is the Luna of the pack, right? She must know about her pack too," Lou protested. He didn’t take all the pain to come here, while dragging along that lazy ass white bear to amuse Iris, just to have one on one conversation with Cane again.
That was the most horrible conversation and deal that he had ever had. He didn’t wish to talk with Cane at all! He was no fun!
"She is sick. She still hasn’t recovered." There, Cane made use of the classic excuse from him for his mate yet again. He would have liked for Iris to join the conversation too only if it was not with Lou, since he disliked the way this man looked at his mate. He had not yet forgotten how the merchant brazenly asked for some time alone with Iris either.
"She has recovered well, I don’t see how you can say she is still sick," Lou complained like a child, as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
However, for his utter disbelief, Iris coughed lightly, as she snuggled closer toward her mate and this made the anger in Cane’s eyes subside a little bit.
Lou’s jaw dropped when he heard that very artificial cough, Iris didn’t even try harder to make it more convincing. She was so wicked!
"I will bring my mate back to rest," Cane said politely, as he turned around with Iris close to him, while Lou fumed, completely annoyed.
And yet, as if helping its master and showing its usefulness, Lil Thing came in time to annoy Cane back, to make it even for its master.
Lil Thing charged forward with its tongue stuck out, acting cute when it stopped in front of Iris, while the children chased after the creature.
"Take your pet away, it can harm the children." Cane glanced at Lou, as he spoke sternly.
"Oh, come on, Alpha, you don’t really think this fluffy bear will harm them, right? Lil Thing loves children, it will not harm even a fly," Lou responded dramatically, while the bear nuzzled Iris’ hand, asking to be petted. "I think Lil Thing likes Iris. It knows beautiful things."
What Lou said was meant to flatter Iris, but because she had her back to him, she wouldn’t know what he was talking about, while the merchant completely forgot about that little detail.
However, he managed to irritate the Alpha further.
Cane took out something from his pocket and watched how this creature tilted its head, interested in what he would take out and immediately acted cute with Cane when it saw the Alpha had taken out a magic stone from his pocket.
Cane carried a stone with him in case he needed to give this to Haco, since he didn’t want to give the sorcerer too many of them at once.
A moment later, Cane threw the magic stone as far as he could and Lil Thing started speeding up toward the stone, while the children happily followed it, chirping happily.
Once again, Lou was flabbergasted. "Stupid Lil Thing," he grumbled in dissatisfaction. His pet betrayed him! He thought the creature came to his aid.
And now, the only thing he could do was watch Cane and Iris’ backs, as they walked away from him. He was pissed!
On their way to their bedroom, Iris tried to explain what happened with Lou earlier.
On the other hand, Cane listened to her in silence, which made Iris feel even more nervous and at the end of her explanation, he just replied with one word. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
