Iris wanted to be close with her mate all the time, she had been miserable missing him all day and had little time when he finally returned late at night, because she was already very sleepy and often, Cane would have gone the moment she woke up.
Yes, both of them would wake up in the middle of the night, or it would rather be said that Iris was the one, who woke him up because she felt very needy... but still, that was not enough for her.
"Can I?" Iris nuzzled against his neck, trying to make him give in to her demand. The problem with Redmond was forgotten for a while, because she had something that she wanted from her mate. "I want to go with you, I promise I will not cause trouble. I will wait in the carriage if you don’t want to take me to the same room. Please..."
Cane couldn’t take it anymore. "Okay."
"Really?!" Iris pushed away from him slightly and her bright blue eyes stared at him, rendering him speechless. "I love you!" She leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
"You must behave."
"I am always behave!" Iris hugged him tightly. "Thank you!"
"Careful," Cane said in low voice, as he caressed her back and secured her body on top of him, as the carriage started to move, she could fall if she moved recklessly like this.
However, soon Cane regretted it when he took Iris with him, because he failed to remember that Lou would attend this meeting too and the merchant looked so pleased to see his mate again. freēwēbnovel.com
"Iris! I am so happy to see you here!" Lou exclaimed and his screeching voice hurt her ears.
She hoped, she could turn deaf only for him.
"I heard you went out of the pack house that day I told you that I am going to take you out to see the town."
"Where did you go?"
"I know a great place, I will take you there, okay?"
"Why don’t you talk to me?"
She clung onto Cane, as she stared at the merchant with expressionless face, while Cane ignored Lou, but when the merchant was being too close with his mate, he growled at him.
"Back off Lou. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior."
Lou clicked his tongue. He was getting bold right now, but he was not a threat in Cane’s eyes, at least not yet. He could handle this merchant, since he was only being ridiculously annoying, but that certain man would always be a thorn under his skin.
"I didn’t even talk with you, what’s wrong with it?"
During the meeting with another four merchants from Karam, it was proven that Cane’s decision to take Iris with him was right, because she could tell him every detail of the conversation, since they talked in Kars, that was the language that they used in Karam continent.
Cane knew a few words and could tell what they were talking about, but he missed the detail because that was not the language, he was fluent of, but Iris helped him with that.
In the past, he had asked her to teach him, but because there were a lot of things that was going on, the lesson stopped naturally.
Meanwhile, Lou tangled in a complex discussion with the other merchants, as he bid for lower price, pointing out how they were being very ridiculous and tore them a new one whenever they tried to argue back.
Iris had never seen Lou was being this serious before, he always looked very easy going and cheerful, almost like Ethan, but he was the insane version of the gamma.
"Cane, I want to serve them the alcohol tea, is it okay?" Iris had this idea to introduce the special tea from the Howling Wolf pack. She had asked Lou’s help, but all the merchant cared about was to get a way to interact with her. He didn’t really help.
"Okay." Cane watched his mate beamed, as she went outside of the room and asked one of the warriors to retrieve the tea leaves from the pack house.
It didn’t take long and the tea was served for all of them.
