Iris was not sure what she wanted to achieve when she said those words to Cane. She did it in the heat of the moment, she wished for him to know how much his decision had disappointed her, but now when she thought about it again, Iris felt like she was so insensitive.
Of course, Cane cared so much about his people, though he didn’t show it openly. She knew about it from the very beginning and her comment was so insensitive where she did not think about his feelings at all.
Iris stared outside of the window, feeling guilty, but she couldn’t rest her conscience with the thought they were leaving.
It was not that Cane didn’t help these people at all, he helped them by providing them basic things they needed to survive and even ordered Grace to heal them, or commanded his warriors to pull the dead bodies out and gather them in one place, so they could give their loved ones a proper burial.
However, the Alpha didn’t intend to stay longer than this. He wouldn’t change his mind about leaving.
Feeling guilty, Iris waited for Cane to come into the carriage, since she didn’t want to display any defiance in front of his pack members again. Challenging the Alpha in public was a crime and Iris was lucky to be able to get out of it unscathed.
However, after waiting for a long time and when the sun was about to set, it was Aliana, who came into the carriage, instead of Cane.
"You look so disappointed to see me, Luna," Aliana teased her. She always had this mischievous smile on her face, maybe because she used to be with children, she would always look so happy and positive, even when she didn’t even try.
"No, I am not." Iris lowered her head to hide her disappointment.
Aliana didn’t pursue the matter further. "We are going now," she said and as if on cue, the carriage started to move.
Iris lifted her head in surprise and looked around. "Where is Cane?"
"Oh, the Alpha will be in the rear, just in case there is another attack by the Silver Warriors," Aliana said lightly, watching how Iris’ expression fell.
He didn’t want to be in the same space as her? Was he that angry with her until he couldn’t stand the sight of her? Iris wanted to cry, she had this conflicted feeling.
But when she stared out the window, hoping she could catch a sight of Cane, she noticed something was not right. freēwebnovel.com
"We crossed this path before... are we heading back to the pack house?" Iris shifted her attention back to Aliana. "This is the street we passed when we were going to leave the Silver River pack."
"Oh, the Alpha must have not yet told you about this." Aliana clapped her hands. "He said we will stay for three more days here, because there are some warriors that need intensive care and a lot of pack members had got injured during the attack. He opened the pack house’s gates for them to come, so Grace could treat them."
Iris widened her eyes in disbelief. This was something she didn’t imagine would happen. Didn’t Cane say, he was not going to stay and would leave as soon as possible? This was unbelievable!
