"Are you, okay?" Cane asked, concern in his voice to see how Iris hobbled, her thighs were numb because he used them as pillow when he slept two hours straight. He didn’t wake up at all during that time and Iris didn’t move her body, scared she would wake him up.
At the first half an hour, Iris was happy to see his sleeping face, but after an hour, she started to feel uncomfortable and when the two hours passed, she felt numb.
And now Iris was sitting on the bed, while Cane massaged her thighs.
"Next time don’t do this," he said in stern voice, reminding her that he didn’t want this to happen again. Iris didn’t answer him, she didn’t want to make a promise that she wouldn’t keep.
Of course, next time she would do it again if by doing that could ensure him to take some rest.
Sensing Iris’s little rebellion, Cane pinched her earlobe. "Don’t do it again," he said more firmly now, still Iris didn’t answer him. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
In the end, they were late to be in the meeting with the elders, actually they would start to have discussion after lunch, thus when Cane and Iris arrived, they were halfway eating their meal and the look the four elders gave to them was nasty.
At the long table, each party occupied each side of the table, thus there was no one sitting on the head of the table, but the four elders took a seat in the middle, while the Serafim and her five knights also the head of the knights sat on their left and right side.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the table, between Jace and Ethan, there were two chairs that still empty, which for the alpha and the luna and this made the two of them had to sit down in front of the elders.
Elder Xarex was sitting in front of Cane, while an elderly woman sat next to him.
Next to Jace was Aliana and Grace, while next to Ethan was Lou and Redmond. The five of Iris’s warriors stood in the front door of the dining hall, so did a few of the knights.
The tension was already very thick and this was not the atmosphere that you wanted to have when you stomached your food. Ethan and Lou had put down their cutleries and waited with bored expression, while Redmond ate his food just because he had something to do, while the rest of them ate quietly, but the look on their expression would make you wonder, whether they were eating food or stone instead.
Cane took Iris to sit down on the empty seats, he didn’t apologize for being late and actually Lou and Ethan like this. This must be Cane gentle revenge on how the elders looked down on him when they greeted them in the gates.
’This will be interesting.’ Lou thought about this for himself, this excitement was what kept him stayed and endured the irritation. "Here, eat this, you look tired!" Lou happily put a piece of meat on Iris’s plate.
