Iris was holding the lizard in her hands, while waiting for Cane to return. She perched on the windowsill, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
Meanwhile, Hanna was lost for words, as she once again reminded her missy that the Alpha would probably return late because he was participating in a serious discussion about the tunnel with the merchant and the Alpha from the Red Claw pack.
Yet, Iris didn’t listen to her, because she wanted to let Cane know something as soon as possible. This was something important too.
And when she saw Cane walking in the hallway, she immediately went out of her bedroom. She approached him, which surprised him. He frowned.
"What happened?" Cane’s mind went to the worst possible thing that could happen while he was away, because that was how he saw the situation. It was almost like an instinct to him.
"Come, come with me, I want to show you something." Iris tugged his sleeve, so he could follow her, though without her pulling him around like this, Cane would eventually arrive at their bedroom.
Meanwhile, Jace, who walked with Ethan slightly further back, stared blankly at the sight.
"I don’t know when I will get used to seeing this sight..." Jace shook his head. "I still can’t wrap my head around the idea of Cane being affectionate with her."
"Get used to it," Ethan said nonchalantly, he didn’t find the sight weird.
On the other hand, Iris took Cane into their bedroom and Hanna immediately excused herself, leaving the two of them alone.
"What do you want to show me?" Cane saw Iris looking for her lizard around the room. It seemed when she stood up abruptly earlier, the lizard took the chance to free itself from her grip and hide.
"Wait, I need to find the lizard first," Iris mumbled to herself, as she looked at every corner of the room.
But, even after ten minutes of hectic searching, she still couldn’t find the little creature, which only made her grow frustrated. She had been waiting for this moment all day, but the lizard had to disappear.
Without saying anything, Cane walked toward the door and said something to the guard out there before he returned to the room and beckoned Iris to sit down.
"Cane, you will not believe it! I found something amazing about the lizard! I don’t know how to explain it, that’s why I need to show you!" Iris was very excited and frustrated at the same time, her face bright red.
"Just sit down," Cane said patiently, while his mate was still roaming around the room looking for the little creature. In the end, Cane carried her by her waist and sat her down, which left Iris flustered.
Right at that time, someone knocked on the door and the guard gave Cane a plate of meat, which was still so hot. The piping steam wafted in the air. The smell of it was so delicious.
