Iris was so gloomy and Cane thought it was because of her monthly cycle, which caused her to be in a bad mood.
"There will be a festivity in the town tonight. Do you want to go?" Cane asked Iris, without even taking his eyes off the report he was reading right now.
Both of them were having their lunch in the dining room along with the members of the three packs, thus it was a little bit crowded here.
Cane prolonged his stay in this pack because he was waiting for the merchants from Karam to come. Usually, the merchants would come to buy the women and monsters, and a few children if he took a liking to them.
However right now, Cane wanted something else to be traded, therefore, he was going to have a meeting with them. They were scheduled to arrive two weeks from now.
Grory and Argean expressed dissatisfaction over how Cane wanted to change what they used to do in this pack, it could be seen clearly in their eyes and expressions when the alpha said he was going to stop trading women and children with the merchants from Karam.
However, the beta and gamma didn’t dare to voice out their opinion. As for what Cane would trade in exchange for women and children, they were not sure because the alpha didn’t explain anything to them.
If Ethan himself needed years and Iris’ helping hand to make Cane explain his plans to him, definitely Argean and Grory wouldn’t be able to make him say anything more than necessary after meeting just for a few days.
"Going to the town? Tonight?" Iris’ eyes lit up. Cane didn’t allow her to go out of the pack house and it was a stern order from him to her personal warriors, thus none of them dared to go against him.
Even Aliana didn’t dare to disobey the alpha.
’The Alpha looks so scary, he will really have our heads if we disobey this one,’ Eron said when Iris asked him to take her out of the pack house once, because she wanted to see this pack and buy a few pairs of clothes for Joel and Zale, also Celia and Haco.
Joel showed tremendous progress, he could shift into his beast without a problem and started his training, he was also able to read and write now, which he bragged to Eron and Dyne, as the two of them used to tease him.
Celia was also learning how to read and write, since Iris didn’t have many things to do.
Sometimes, Joel and Zale would train together with Celia and Haco as their spectators. Iris and Aliana would come to watch them as well occasionally.
"Hm. Do you want to go?" Cane put more meat on Iris’ plate, as she munched on it like a chipmunk.
"I want to!" Iris looked so excited and Cane was happy enough to see her full of spirit like this.
He had been so busy and couldn’t spend time with her as often. He realized it immediately seeing his mate had been so gloomy lately. He wasn’t used to seeing her like that...
"Can I buy clothes for Joel, Zale and Haco? Also Celia? I saw their clothes are too small for them and Zale also needs more clothes, he didn’t bring anything from his pack and has been wearing Joel’s clothes."
Cane was speechless, instead of talking of buying something for herself, it seemed, Iris was way happier when she talked about what she was going to buy for the others.
However, as long as she could smile like this and he was able to see her eyes lit up with excitement, it didn’t matter what the subject was.
"Okay."
"But, I don’t have any money," Iris said sheepishly.
Cane couldn’t help but laugh.
"Cane, I am serious." Iris scrunched her nose seeing Cane laugh at her. "I promise I will not spend much. I will just buy two for each."
Cane didn’t realize it before because his mate had never been in a situation where she needed money, but now he realized he had never given her any allowance or bought something for her.
"You don’t need to be worried about that. You can buy whatever you want." Cane caressed her cheek. He stopped laughing, as it dawned on him how he had neglected this matter, just because Iris had never mentioned it before.
"No, I..." Iris was about to speak, but Cane cut her off.
"Iris, I got the fortune of six packs, do you really think I can’t afford a few pieces of clothes for you?" Cane put a piece of meat into her mouth.
