Iris was not thrilled to be denied entrance like this, especially when Leon was trying to paint her in a different way for coming here with another man, instead of her own mate.
This was what concerned Laluna as well, the reason why she didn’t want to go with Will, because she knew that she would be judged heavily being seen with a stranger and it would lead to a bigger problem if there was someone who fueled the fire.
Actually, it was such an irony, when the men could get whomever woman that they wanted and take a few mistresses and slaves to satisfy their needs, aside from having their own destined mate, the women would be judged and even accused of heavy crimes, if they were simply seen standing with another man.
That was the mindset and mentality that was set by the royal family, in order to get the bloodline running, while the Alpha would adopt the same concept, since they were the leaders of their own territories, they thought themselves as the kings in their own packs.
While commoner women would see it as an opportunity to raise in rank and status, to get a better life and women from the prestigious family could only swallow the bitterness, because their duty was to strengthen their packs with marriage alliances and give birth to the next heir, keep the bloodline running for their men. It would be better if their destined mate came from an influential family, someone with power.
"If you don’t let me get inside, at least, you should let her in!" Redmond shouted. He had done a great job holding his tongue from cursing Leon out, because he knew he couldn’t aggravate him. He was not clueless, the rumors of Nala being rejected and neglected as she stood behind Cane had been spread.
Of course, her father wouldn’t do a happy dance and this was his petty revenge on Cane’s mate, since his status didn’t allow him to do anything to the Alpha.
"You are so devoted for a subordinate! Go back and find another place! Don’t let people know what you are up to!" Leon phrased his words in a way as if there was something going on between Redmond and Iris for being together at this time.
On the other hand, Iris had been so anxious because she couldn’t find Hanna around here and prayed that she was fine, yet when she read what Leon said, she was even more upset. She actually balled her fists tightly.
Seeing the change of expression on Iris, Leon was surprised. He heard she was a runt and always very timid, but she actually glared at him now, though she didn’t say anything, her bright blue eyes were suffused with unperturbed anger.
"Let’s stop this, let’s go to the other Howling Wolf pack warriors," Iris said. If they were fixated on not allowing them to enter, there was no word that could change that and she wouldn’t beg for it, because she knew her action would represent Cane as well and she didn’t want him to be looked down upon.
She started to walk away. After all, the situation was not as bad as hours ago, there were many royal warriors fighting those monsters and they managed to hold most of them back.
However, before Iris could leave, she saw Cane come running with Laluna in his arms, as the woman hugged him tightly.
Iris was already in a bad mood because she was very worried about Hanna and then Leon only aggravated her, thus when she saw this scene, she couldn’t help but feel even more upset.
