Chapter 50: YOU HAVE SO MANY SCARS
Iris didn’t suffer any serious injuries, aside from her scraped knee that was bleeding, because Aria pushed her to the ground. Hanna was more than capable of taking care of the wound.
However, Iris had been very quiet. She didn’t say anything and clutched her dress tightly.
"I will return the cloak to Stone later after I wash it, okay?" Hanna tried to coax her to speak, but Iris didn’t say anything. She closed her eyes, seemingly fell asleep, but her tensed shoulders told her that she was wide awake.
But around midnight, Iris fell unconscious, she got a fever again and because tomorrow she needed to be with Cane to send off the king and the five alphas, Grace was called over to take a look at her.
Meanwhile, the rumors out there started to circulate, they talked about how the alpha had taken Iris as his luna and how he had marked her.
At first, Cane didn’t want anyone to know that Iris had been marked. He didn’t even have a plan to use her that way at all and was still trying to figure out a better way to announce it to the people.
But now, rumors about it had spread and people were talking about how Iris bore his mark. There was nothing to hide anymore.
Yet, it was either that, or him losing the Blue Moon pack. The resources of this pack were too great to let them fall into the king’s hands and the hatred was too deep to let those people be free.
Grace had learned what had happened and reluctantly looked after her, because it was not about Iris alone. If something happened to her now, the whole pack would be implicated and their pack would be in a more vulnerable state because they didn’t have the footing to hold onto Blue Moon pack.
The Howling Wolf pack was not in a good condition and they needed to fund everything that had been destroyed and to make the economy of the pack run smoothly again.
"Do you want me to heal her scars too?" Grace frowned when she saw the scars on Iris’ back. From the looks of it, none were new scars, but how could she get those scars to begin with?
