Chapter 144: I NEED YOUR MATE TO FIND IT
Cane pushed Iris’ body against his, so she could lean on him instead of being so taut and hurting herself. He knew that she was still in pain learning how to ride a horse all day the day before, thus it wouldn’t help her or him if she kept being so tense.
On the other hand, Iris licked her lips at the gesture, she was unsure if this was alright, but then when she let her weight fall on him, he didn’t say anything, even when she wriggled her body to find a comfortable position, Cane still said nothing.
This made Iris smile, she could finally relax and not dread their long journey back to the Arleen city. Actually, this was way more comfortable than riding with Redmond, because she wouldn’t be afraid of falling if she felt sleepy, since Cane’s strong arms would keep her in place.
However, before they could reach the exit gates, someone blocked their path and made their horses almost run into him.
Cane didn’t pull the horse to a stop until it was so close to that man, as if he would really run him over, which caused him to tumble back and fall on his butt.
"Alpha Cane! You are so ruthless!" Lou grumbled, as he stood up and rubbed his back. His butt hurt, but once he faced the alpha, he was all smiles. "Long time no see, Alpha."
Lou grinned from ear to ear, as he glanced at Iris, who was sitting on top of the horse. Cane’s body towered above hers, making the stark difference between them look very clear. Iris looked so small compared to the alpha.
"I thought you wanted to get the Asturi stem. I waited for you, but you didn’t come, so I humbled myself to come looking for you."
Lou was still wearing his red cloak and looked very dandy, if only he was wearing a dress and had long hair, he surely would look even prettier than the queen herself.
