Chapter 141: SOMEONE WAS HERE
Something was broken and couldn’t be fixed...
Those ten years of slavery truly broke this alpha and his people to pieces, yet they refused to give up. Instead, they were determined to carry these scars for the rest of their life.
They believed in him, that he could bring them out of the slavery and indeed, he did. They entrusted him with their lives and it was a huge responsibility that would drive one to loneliness.
When there were many people leaning on you, you would have a hard time leaning on someone else, even if the weight of everything almost killed you.
That was what the ugly side of bearing responsibilities looked like.
Probably because Iris stared at him too intensely, the alpha opened his eyes feeling her heated gaze. Those eyes were very alert, as if he had not slept at all, which startled her.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze. Both of them just stared at each other and Cane’s dark eyes looked very lucid. Did he even fall asleep earlier?
His arms were still wrapped around her hips and their chests were pressed together, thus she could feel his heartbeat, so could he.
Time seemed to stop and there seemed to be nothing else to think about. They only had each other in their eyes.
