Docilely, Iris drank her milk, but it didn’t mean she would drop the topic. She still fixed on talking about this.
"But, what are you going to do? They will not allow Abby to use her power because she is currently pregnant." From what Iris learned, the protection around her was very tight, even a fly couldn’t go through the knights.
Outsider might see it as the Elders cared about her, but in truth, they were trying to isolate her.
Actually, not only Iris, Abby had been staying inside her tent without taking a step out for the last week and information about her was very limited even though they were only a few tents away.
"You are also pregnant." Cane made bed for Iris and helped her to lay down comfortably.
"But, they don’t know about this." Iris stretched her body and pulled Cane to lay down next to her. She missed this conversation with him.
"They didn’t need to know." Cane snuggled with Iris, while her mate was moving around to find a comfortable spot in his arms.
"What about the shield? I am sure I can take it down..." Iris contemplated it.
"No."
"After I get better, I think I can take it down." Iris corrected herself, but still, Cane didn’t agree with that.
"You are not going to do anything, Iris." Cane played with her hair, which made her sleepy. "Just sit back. I can handle this."
"How?" Iris looked up. She liked his side profile and wished their babies would take after him. "Did you already have a plan?"
"I have."
Iris’s curiosity was piqued. "What is it?" Cane opened his mouth to answer that, but then he clamped it again, teasing her. "Cane!"
"I will tell you if you ate properly tomorrow." Cane made a bargain.
"I ate, but the food tasted so bland." Her tastebuds didn’t give her joy when she ate food, they tasted funny.
"Is there something you want to eat?" Cane asked, caressing her neck absentmindedly.
"No. I don’t think any food that I ate will taste good. I only need to wait until I fully recovered." Iris pursed her lips. "You tried to change the subject. So, what is your plan?"
Cane smirked. "Come here." He beckoned her with his finger to give him her ear, though no one would listen to them, since they were alone in the tent, but still Iris came closer to him without even thinking twice.
However, when she was close enough, the only answer she got was Cane telling her to sleep and then nibble on her earlobe.
