Chapter 138: THEIR HEARTS WERE SO FAR APART
Iris was sleeping when she felt someone hug her from behind, which shocked her, since their strong arms wrapped around her waist tightly and drew her closer to them.
It was a man’s arms!
Startled, Iris was about to scream when she turned her head and caught sight of Cane’s sleeping face. He had his face buried in her nape and breathed evenly.
"Al- alpha...?" Iris’ eyes widened, as her face wore an anxious expression. Was he sleeping? Why was he hugging her tightly like this?
All of a sudden, Iris felt her face become so hot as her throat dried. She wetted her lips and waited for Cane to move away from her, but he didn’t.
"A- are you really sleeping?" Iris’ voice was so low, it sounded like a whisper and her skin became very sensitive when his warm breath caressed her neck. His strong heart was thumping against her back, because of how close they were.
Iris could even feel her own heart beating so fast, but in the end, it fell into the same rhythm as his and it helped her to fall asleep again.
The next day when she woke up, Cane was no longer there and there was a set of breakfast waiting on the table beside her bed.
Iris pushed herself up and rubbed her sleeping face. She looked around her groggily and decided to wash her face first before she ate her breakfast.
