The next day, Iris agreed to see the baby, even though she was barely sleeping, she would wake up every hour and looked around her, as if she was looking for something, but also dreading to see it at the same time.
Cane would be there to comfort her every time she woke up, which meant, he didn’t have any rest too. Yet, he was being extremely patient with her anxiety throughout the night.
The next morning, if you could say so, since the sun still had not yet appeared in the sky and Iris started to wonder if they would eventually lose track in time, she woke up and felt horrible, her appearance also looked horrendous when she saw her reflection on the mirror.
"I look awful..." Iris said, as Cane braided her hair to meet with alpha Colter and the other. This small thing that he did for her had become their peaceful moment, which was a rare thing to have, seeing their situation right now.
"You look perfect, Iris," Cane said, as he gave her a kiss on her cheek and finished braiding her hair. There was no ornament to adorn her bride, but she was already beautiful in his eyes without any of those things.
"Is there... any news?" she asked in small voice.
"I will tell you right away if there is any news from the south." Cane helped her to stand up and took her hand. "Let’s go."
Iris leaned against him, she felt her steps were so heavy when in actuality, it was her heart. She wanted to curl herself on the bed and do nothing, until she got the news that everyone was safe, that Aliana, Joel, Celia and Haco were fine.
However, Cane was right, there was nothing they could do to help them there and here, they needed to do what they could.
"We can postpone this if you are still not feeling well." Cane caressed her cheek when they walked in the corridor. Despite that was what he said, but he could see the determination in her eyes. She was going to go through this no matter what and he was right about that.
Iris shook her head. "You said it, time is the essence." She didn’t want to waste her time. More people could die if she kept worrying something that she couldn’t control. At the very least, she understood what Cane meant when he said they must do whatever they could do and worrying about what they couldn’t control, later.
"You learn so well," Cane said, there was a tinge of proudness in his voice, as he put his arm around her waist and opened the door to the nursery room, where baby Vemion was currently sleeping.
Inside the room, alpha Colter, Koda and Laluna had been waiting for them.
"Luna Iris!" Laluna immediately greeted Iris warmly, she approached her and was about to hug her, but Iris gave her a small curtsy, which made her held herself back, because she clearly drew a line there.
"Princess Laluna," Iris said. Her mind was a wreck now and the last thing she wanted was to be touched by people she didn’t like and Laluna was on the list.
Laluna was taken aback, but then she regained her composure quickly and adjusted herself very well after Iris’s subtle rejection. "I am glad to see you here, are you okay now? Alpha Cane told me that you were sick."
The way she put it, as if Cane had told her personally, making it sounded more... intimate and Iris was sick of it.
"Yes, I am sick, I am very sick," Iris said, there was a layer of coldness in her voice, which Cane managed to pick up. He caressed her back to ease her anger, because if these morons knew what she was capable of doing, they wouldn’t even think to provoke her at all. "That’s why, can I see the baby now?"
Iris had enough with these shameless women. From Aria, Nala to Sofia and now it was Laluna. Not to mention Aria apparently comeback from her death and became a thorn in her flesh and a problem in the future, since whatever or whoever that brought her back from the afterlife, wouldn’t be a good news.
And now, Laluna tried to insert herself as well.
Why these women were eyeing her man? Why they couldn’t find another man? Why they wanted what belonged to hers?
It was a great effort for Iris not to surrender to a temptation to squeeze her wolf spirit and the way Cane touched her helped her a lot to keep her mind clear.
"Oh, I heard that you are able to hear now!" Laluna looked excited. "Is that true? You can hear me now? you don’t need to read other people’s lips to know what they are saying?"
"Yes," Iris replied curtly and her voice hurt her ears.
And after another two minutes passed, Iris handed back the baby to Laluna. fгeewebnovёl.com
