Chapter 43: THE AMOUNT OF PAIN
Cane heard the creaking sound of the door and saw Iris staring at him with a complicated expression on her pale face. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, not knowing what to do.
For a moment, Cane just stared at her with a stoic expression. He still had not yet decided what he was going to do with her now that the situation became even more complicated than he intended it to be.
This gave him another headache to kill his brain cells over.
"Come here." Cane narrowed his eyes when he saw she didn’t move an inch and then remembered that she couldn’t hear him. He waved his hand to beckon her over.
Iris saw the movement from the corner of her eyes and walked toward him slowly. She was mortified when the alpha raised his hand and wrapped his fingers around her neck, as his eyes darkened to see his mark on her skin.
At this moment, Iris still did not realize about the mark on her. She thought she was bitten by the monster and the fact that she might be marked didn’t even cross her mind.
However, Cane saw it and he was not happy at all to see his mark on her. His enemy’s daughter. Gerald’s laugh kept ringing in his head, sounding like he was mocking him all over again for marking his daughter. He would roll over in his grave, laughing over how stupid he was.
"Ma- master..." Iris held his hand when his fingers tightened around her neck. He was trying to choke her and the realization made her panic, especially when she could see the hostility in his dark eyes.
With his strength, he would be able to crush her neck easily.
Iris gasped for air, but her airway was blocked and she started to claw at his hand, leaving marks there, but it healed within a second. He didn’t feel any pain from it. Not even in the slightest.
And when Iris’s face turned red and the pain became more unbearable, as she thought she would die from strangulation, Cane finally let her go.
