Chapter 114: FIRE LIZARD
It was natural for Cane to be more sensitive to her scent, since she was his mate and he had marked her. After bearing his mark, the mate bond between them started to grow as well.
Thus, when everyone thought Iris was roaming around the forest and started to look outside of the cave, because the forest was so vast and they had to cover as much ground as they could to find her, the alpha stood motionless in his spot as he stared at the cave.
Cane walked toward the cave and started to scrutinize everything around here.
He approached the spot she was sleeping last night at and found the cloak that she used to sleep in discarded there. Her scent was the strongest here, and based on this alone, he concluded that instead of going out, she went deeper into the cave.
Cane narrowed his eyes, as he followed her soft and delicate scent deeper into the cave.
It was not so hard to find her, but the intricate path that he took to reach her made Cane furrow his brows. Why did Iris lose her way here in the first place? Why would she roam around when everyone was sleeping?
It didn’t take long for him to find the woman and as he drew closer, he could hear her talking. Who was she talking to?
Cane’s brows knitted when her voice became clearer. There was someone with her!
"This is not the path either..." Iris grumbled. "We need to go back soon, or else they will leave me in this cave." She was on the verge of tears, her legs started aching because she roamed around this place for god knows how long.
