Now Aliana mentioned it, Iris did remember what happened last night and if it was possible, her face turned even redder. She almost looked like the little lizard when she found it the first time, when its skin was still bright red.
"Heaven!" Iris covered her mouth when details of what happened last night came flooding to her mind. She didn’t even know she could do such thing.
On the other hand, Aliana chuckled. "Did the book help?" she asked lightly, trying to get a little bit juicy information about that mysterious book and when she watched how shocked Iris was, she knew it must be her, who had purchased the book in the first place and she couldn’t control her laugh. "I can’t believe it was you, luna!"
"Oh, shut up!" Iris almost cried, as she tried to make Aliana stopped laughing at her, yet her attempt was too weak and Aliana seemed to have so much fun to discover this.
Out of all people, why it must be her who found it?!
But then, Iris simply couldn’t imagine if it was someone else, she would really dig a hole and bury herself to even imagine if it was Ethan or one of her seven warriors.
It took a long time for Aliana to get over it and she only stopped when Iris literally cried, seeing how serious it affected her and made her uncomfortable.
"I am sorry, I am sorry, I will not bring it up again," Aliana apologized genuinely. She didn’t mean to take things too far and simply only wanted to tease her. She wiped her tears and helped her to take a bath, while talking about something else entirely.
She told her about Zale, Celia and Joel, because Iris used to pay close attention to the three of them, especially Zale’s progress in training. Aliana also filled her in with a few information about what was going on around them.
The merchant had been here for days, but the alpha was still trying to make a reasonable deal with them, regarding the grain because those filthy merchants went crazy with the price they proposed.
Alpha Nolan had been around and was not happy because Cane didn’t want to leave to Red Claw pack immediately, neither he would let Iris go there without him.
"I don’t know what the alpha did, but he managed to make him stay away from you," Aliana mumbled.
Iris didn’t mind it at all if Cane put alpha Nolan away from her, because she didn’t like the alpha too, he made her uncomfortable, even if they only met for once.
"How do you know all of that?" Iris asked, she tilted her head to look at Aliana, who was washing her hair. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Aliana winked at her. "Well, you can say Ethan is hardly able to keep secret from me."
Iris narrowed her eyes. "Maybe because you threatened him."
"Luna, I am not that bad," Aliana chuckled when she heard the accusation.
After that, Aliana took Iris to the kitchen to get her late lunch, as she munched on her meat happily and almost finished all the food on her plate, when she used to not be able to eat that much.
"You are really famished!" Aliana pointed it out and immediately closed her mouth when Iris glared at her, thinking she was going to tease her again.
After that, Iris spent her time with Celia, teaching her how to write and read like usual. She was having a hard time and her progress was not as fast as the other people Iris had taught, which made the little girl frustrated.
Meanwhile, Zale was training with Zephyr and Lil Thing was playing dead with the little children of alpha Adrian.
Cane put all the mistresses of the alpha and their children in the west part of the pack house and they had been staying there ever since, didn’t middle with anything inside the pack house, knowing alpha Adrian’s regime had fallen.
It was very lucky for them to be able to stay alive and not be made slaves, thus they didn’t want to get into alpha Cane’s bad side.
Iris also learned something from Haco when his mind conscious enough to teach her how to manipulate her newly found power, but it didn’t last for long, because the sorcerer went into his senile state pretty fast. His wrinkled face looked tired and his misty eyes stared into the distance, as he kept asking her; ’who are you?’ and Iris had to introduce herself a few times.
Her heart ached to see the old sorcerer like this. She hoped, there was something she could do for him. Haco was actively dying at this point, his mind shut down on him and it was a rare occurrence to see him in a clear state of mind.
When night came, Iris spent it inside her bedroom and had her dinner there with Aliana, since she would meet with alpha Nolan in the dining hall, thus she had never gone there once the alpha was here.
More so, Iris was too tired and sleepy, she was still feeling so sore because of last night and she was exhausted after teaching Celia and talking to Haco, every time she went to see the sorcerer, she became emotional to see how he regressed so fast.
