Grumbling, Haco left the two of them alone inside the bedroom. At the very least, the lycan would oblige Iris and there was nothing to be worried about.
Meanwhile, he would find someone to inform the Beta that the Alpha was already with Iris. Jace would understand what that meant.
Inside the bedroom, Iris tried to stop Lu kissing her face. He looked ecstatic for some reason. He didn’t cause any trouble, right? That was all Iris was concerned about because she didn’t want to deal with more trouble, since they already had enough on their plates and without Cane here, it would only complicate things.
"Where have you been?" Iris asked sternly, she looked at the lycan’s eyes, those were in the same color as Cane’s, but still, Iris couldn’t feel the familiarity when she stared at him at this moment.
"I went to meet that healer!" Lu was elated when he pulled out something from his pocket. He produced two small bottles, which he waved in front of Iris. "Look! Cane ordered the healer to make a concoction with the water magic stones for his fertility issue. He also ordered her to make one bottle for you, so you can nurse your health!"
"You went to see Grace?!" Iris was shocked, she was not sure whether the news about Lu going to see Grace was way more shocking than the fact he got the concoction of Cane’s fertility issue from her.
Iris knew Cane needed the water magic stones to fix his problem, but she was clueless that he had ordered Grace to do something like that, since Cane had never even mentioned anything about it.
"Yes!" Lu nudged the small bottle that contained blue liquid toward Iris. "Come! Drink this! Let’s try and see whether it will work or not!" He looked like a child, who was asking Iris to play with him. He looked so enthusiastic for her to drink the concoction.
However, Iris had other worries and she had even more important questions she needed Lu to answer.
"Lu!" Iris snatched the bottle from his hand, but she didn’t drink it immediately, like what Lu wanted her to do. "Tell me, what did you talk about with Grace? Tell me every detail of it!"
Iris’ heart pounded hard in her chest, she couldn’t imagine what would happen if Grace found something odd about Cane, but then Grace already knew about the lycan, but she was not sure how she would react if she really figured the Alpha was not actually Cane.
She and Jace had agreed not to let anyone else know about this and thankfully, Oliver had been entertaining Alpha Dristan and Sir Elijah at this moment, though the two of them kept questioning Cane’s absence.
"I didn’t hurt her."
"Okay." That was a relief. "And then? What did the two of you talk about?"
Lu kept staring at the bottle in Iris’ hand, pouting.
"Lu?" Iris softened her voice and then caressed his head, which made him purr at her touch. He started to talk about every single detail of the conversation between him and Grace, thankfully, he had a rather good memory.
"... She stuttered when she talked about it, so I finished her sentence with ’When I fuck her?’ and after that, I left. That’s all. I didn’t do anything at all." Lu frowned when Iris stopped running her fingers through his hair.
"Wh- what did you say?" Iris could feel the heat from her face and she really wanted to smack this lycan for saying such a thing to Grace. But, of course, that was only in her mind because the embarrassment was so unbearable.
"Said what?" Lu tilted his head, staring at Iris innocently, as if he didn’t understand what she meant.
"Y- you said..." Iris couldn’t even say the words. She really wanted to cry.
Lu frowned even more and then he had this moment of enlightenment when he finally understood what she wanted to say. "You mean when I said ’when I fuck her’?"
"Lu!"
Lu still had this innocent expression on his face when he explained it to Iris. "But, I was right. What is wrong with that word? You don’t allow me to use these people in the pack as sacrifice, thus the only thing I can think of is this." He waved the other bottle in his hand in front of her face and this really irritated Iris.
"Lu, be serious, please!" Iris was thinking of avoiding Grace for a while now and since what Lu said couldn’t be taken back, she would move on to her next question.
"I am very serious with you." Lu sat with his legs crossed. He looked just like a child who was being reprimanded. He was not sure why Iris was angry at him when he didn’t do anything bad. It was so hard to please her.
Iris closed her eyes and calmed herself down, trying to put what Lu said to Grace so blatantly in the back of her mind and when she opened them again, she regained a little bit of control over her emotions.
"Lu, can you explain to me about the things you told Haco? About me being a Serafim? How can you say that?" Iris asked him calmly, hoping he wouldn’t keep his lips sealed this time. "Lu?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"You are the Serafim, how can you not know about that?" Lu stopped his childish act and actually looked a little bit serious right now, which made Iris relieved, because it meant they could communicate about this matter.
"I don’t know, Lu. Seriously, I don’t." Iris shook her head. "The idea is so wild. I can’t even think about the possibility."
