"We managed to take over the harbor in the Chrystal Moon pack!" Iris said with cheerful voice. That was the gist of the letter Cane wrote for her.
Within fifteen days, there were only two letters from the Battlefield and the first letters literally only listed the warriors that had fallen during the battle, informing their family to stop waiting. Their bodies would be buried on site, since it would be too risky to send them back.
At that time, Iris could only sigh in relief because none of the warriors she was close with, who made it in the list, though her heart went to those warriors, who didn’t make it.
Therefore, the second letter that mentioned the progress of the battle made them really happy, because their main goal was to get back the harbor.
"Right now, they will concentrate their defense in the Harbor, while making their way to conquer Chrystal Moon pack." Iris smiled so bright in the end of the letter.
She was a little bit disappointed because there was no special letter for her from Cane, but she couldn’t complain. Yet, she felt this was not the first time for Cane to not send her any letter, though she was not able to put her finger on when this kind of situation ever happened.
Her memories jumbled up in her mind. She always felt like she forgot something important...
"See? That’s my man!" Sofia exclaimed proudly, but when dozen pairs of eyes directed to her, she cleared her throat, blushing and focused on Rye, who demanded her attention.
Iris smiled when she heard that. At the very least, Sofia had accepted Redmond and she would tone down her crush on her mate. Needless to say, Iris was also proud of Redmond. She wished nothing happened to all of them and only good news that they would receive.
Thankfully, their prays were heard and a week later, they heard Cane and Cedric managed to lead their warriors and knights to eliminate the warriors in the Chrystal Moon pack and claimed the pack back.
Of course, this news sent happiness to all of them.
However, even after the winter ended, Iris still couldn’t meet with Cane. He was far in the frontline. It would be impossible for her to meet him under this circumstance. freёwebnoѵel.com
Even when the new moon came and went, Cane didn’t come. She thought, he would visit her in secret with the help of Lou like before, but Iris stayed all night and there was nothing happened. Cane didn’t come.
Probably because he could control the lycan extremely well now he didn’t need her to be by his side.
In her annoyance, Iris wished Lu would make a fuss and send her mate to her, yet it was only her wishful thinking...
Iris was sad. She missed him like crazy, but felt so bad if she wanted his attention, since this was not the right time to be selfish.
"But, why he didn’t write a letter for me?" Iris sulked to Hanna one afternoon. She buried her face on the pillow, while Hanna tried to comfort her. Unfortunately, no matter what she said, it could calm her missy down. "He can write a letter to me, asking about how am I doing, is that too hard?"
All the letter from the battlefield only contain about important information for them to learn, nothing less nothing more and Iris felt like she was forgotten.
She tried not to be bothered by this, but she couldn’t.
And when Iris was about to cry, Amee came with her lunch. Hanna immediately told her what happened because she didn’t have any idea what else to say to comfort Iris.
"What about I tell you a story when alpha Cane was little?" Amee sat down on a chair near the bed.
Hearing what she offered, Iris lifted her head from the pillow, she stared at the old lady, pursing her lips, but her curiosity got the best of her. "What story?" she asked timidly.
Amee smiled softly when she caught the luna’s interest. "I will tell you only if you finished your meal."
"Amee, I am not a child!" Iris protested, but in the end, she ate her meal, while listening to a story about when Cane was still young.
