When everything was done what left was ashes and nauseating smell from the burning crows. It took less than an hour to clear the sky from the creature and stopped the attack temporarily.
It was only temporary because they knew, more crows would come.
"Yes, but there are legions of warriors came on our way. They will reach us first before the crows did," Iris told Cane about it.
She had encountered Decratic three times by now, she would be very dense if she couldn’t pin point his thick and strong black magic. It was very different from all the dark magic she had ever felt. This was even stronger than the black magic stone Haco had ever given to her.
"Understood." Cane kissed her forehead. "Stay with Rora and the warriors."
"Please, come back to me. No matter what it takes, please, comeback to me." Iris clutched onto his cloak, as she stared at Cane with teary eyes. She felt her heart ached so bad. She preferred Cane not to go at all, but that was not possible. Cane had his duty and responsible to his people. "Whatever it takes, I want you comeback to me and Rora. Promise me."
This would be a long and hard battle and even though Iris knew there was a high chance for Cane to survive this, but no one could guarantee if he still could keep his lycan side secret. Thing could take turn for the worst and if Cane was forced to use the lycan’s power to survive, Iris preferred that. freewebnøvel.coɱ
If the world should know about the lycan, so be it! Iris only wanted her mate, they could think of everything else later, they had faced countless adversity together and she chose to face countless more of it with him.
Cane rubbed her back to ease her anxiety, but it didn’t help. "I promise," he said.
Iris tiptoed and kissed Cane’s lips, as tears streamed down her eyes. She didn’t want to let go. She didn’t want to be separated from him, if she could, she wanted to go to the battlefield with him, but there was their little angel that they needed to think of. Iris had to ensure her safety now she had the power to do so.
She was torn between her soulmate and her sweet little heart.
This was the hardest period of time she had ever felt where she wanted to be selfish and tell Cane to let someone else to lead the warriors.
At this point, there was no tactic, there was no scheme or even a dirty trick and plot, there was only strength in battle. If you lost this battle then you would die, as simple as that. There was no plot against plot. This was it.
"Please, Cane. Comeback." Iris didn’t want to let go, she wanted to deepen her kiss and let the time freeze.
However, there would always be someone, who would interrupt a good time and ruined the atmosphere for them.
"Are you going to suck his soul or what?" Lou was complaining, he was forced to watch the whole thing and it was not fun at all. "If you wanted to save this pack we need to be hurry, right? I don’t want to die, okay." He tapped his feet impatiently.
Iris was actually embarrassed and pulled away from Cane, she showed her timid side again that recently had been hidden under a lot of stress and sadness.
But, when Iris was about to glare at Lou, Cane cupped her face and gave her a deep kiss that lasted for a second before he let her go.
"Let’s go," Cane told Lou.
"What? I am not going to the battlefield!" Lou protested. "I am just a weak merchant! I don’t know how to fight. I will stay here and make sure your mate and your baby are well taken care of."
There was no way Cane would let that to happen, but he glanced at the door and said, "drag him."
Both Iris and Lou didn’t realize it, but there they saw Zale was poking his head. He had been following them here when he saw Iris was hastily dragging the alpha and the merchant. Joel told him to stay to protect a few people that was entrusted to him, but he didn’t want to protect them, his main priority was the luna.
Cane had noticed him ever since the beginning because he could catch his scent and let him be, while Iris and Lou were not aware of it.
"What?! What are you going to do?!" Lou flipped, he put his hands on his waist, as he glared down at Zale, whose height only reached his chest. This little boy was a sore in the eyes and he wanted to put some curse on him.
Meanwhile, Cane had shifted into his black beast and went out of the room, he had an urgent matter to be handled, leaving Zale to deal with Lou.
"Alpha said you need to go!" Zale snapped back at him unhappily. He mimicked Lou’s gesture, as he put his hands on his waist.
