Cane couldn’t get enough of his mate. After everything they had gone through and how many times he almost lost her, he wanted to be close with her, to feel close with her all the time...
Her scent was intoxicating and her skin hummed delightfully against his, the way she smiled, the way she pursed her lips, the way she got angry... everything about her was beautiful.
Her body heat was perfect, making him didn’t want to let her go.
The way she moaned to the way she responded to his every touch...
Cane was insatiable, he wanted to devour her whole and even after that, he still couldn’t get enough of her. Her soft skin and her gentle laugh when he teased her or the way she gasped...
"I love you, Iris..." Cane whispered to her ear when he entered her. His thrust was very slow, as he peppered her with small kisses.
The wind that blew and the rustling sound of the leaves felt ethereal. And under the shade of the tree, they made love to each other, letting the other person knew how much they were loved.
Iris stared at Cane, her blue eyes looked misty, her legs wrapped around his waist, as they moved gentle with each thrust.
It didn’t take long for her body to shudder, as her climax was close.
"Kiss me..." Iris whimpered between her moans, she pulled Cane close to her and he obliged to give her the kiss she wanted.
Hundred of lights burst from her body when she came undone, moaning into his mouth. Cane came after her, as he grunted and trembled. He filled her, until they could feel the heat of it, leaking from their intertwined bodies.
It felt surreal they actually could have this moment again, after they thought, such dark period of time. When they thought there was no way out of there.
"You are heavy!" Iris laughed when Cane’s weighed her down, though he didn’t put all of his weight on her, but it reminded Iris of the past when he did the same thing in the Black Market. It felt like a distant memory.
Her laughter was infection and this made Cane laughed as well.
At this moment in time, they felt like they could face everything, anything in this world as long as they were together. The problem with the Holy Kingdom didn’t seem like a problem anymore. They had discussed this a few times before they slept or after they made love with each other.
It was not the problem with the plan, but how to execute it. After all, their end goal was clear.
"Get up, you suffocated me." Iris hit his back playfully and Cane bit his mark on her neck before he rolled his body to the side and pulled out from her, which made Iris flinched slightly, she blushed when she felt something trickled on her inner thighs and Cane laughed at her expression.
The alpha became more relax, despite the tension of the situation.
Iris sat down and pulled down her dress to cover her legs, while Cane sat next to her as well and stared at his mate, who touched her neck and then looked at him sullenly.
"You don’t give me hickey again, right?" She was still upset because he gave her a few and made it difficult for her to choose her dress, because she had to cover it.
"I don’t." Cane kissed her shoulder and helped her to straighten her dress and neat her hair, before he pulled her closer to him, but then Iris flinched, as if he had hurt her. "What happened?" He pulled back.
Iris rubbed her thigh and Cane pulled up her dress slightly to see the small scar on her thigh, the scar she got when she was being stabbed by Lando.
"Is it still hurt?" Cane asked, he frowned. The wound had healed, but it left scar, yet he noticed sometime Iris would feel the pain from it. freēwebnovel.com
"Yes, sometime. Like someone pricked it with needle," Iris admitted. "Or maybe it’s only in my mind." The pain had disappeared now.
The pain didn’t last long, it would feel like someone pricked you with needle, it didn’t hurt much, but startled you.
Cane narrowed his eyes, he didn’t like it, especially when he knew where the wound came from.
"It’s okay, there is nothing to be worried about." Iris could sense Cane’s concern and she didn’t want to add more thing into his plate. "I will ask Haco when we returned to Howling Wolf pack, I hope I have a lucid moment with him. He might know something about this."
Cane clenched his jaw when he heard that. Iris still didn’t know about Haco’s death, no one talked about him and with everything that was happening and how Cane ordered his people not to mention thing that could make her sad, it resulted with Iris still thinking Haco was still alive.
"Iris," Cane called her name and then lifted her head to look at her face when he told her as gentle as he could. "Haco is dead."
The light in her eyes dimmed and her lips were slightly trembling when she repeated what he said. "Haco... died?"
"Yes." Cane let Iris to process this information and didn’t touch her, so she wouldn’t feel overwhelmed with his presence. He gave her the space she needed.
In the past, she would have been bawling her eyes by now and her tears wouldn’t stop until a few hours, but right now, she looked sad, grieving, but when she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she accepted this fact.
"Was he happy in his last moment?" Iris finally spoke after a long silent. She wanted to know if Haco was comfortable enough in his last moment.
"He was happy. I was there when he was gone." Cane then told her gently about Haco’s last moment and Iris chuckled a little bit when he let her knew what Haco told Lu, as he let the lycan out to say their parting word.
"I am glad, he was not alone..." Iris said with a deep sigh.
