Chapter 161: PEACEFUL TIME
"I am tired of talking..." Iris murmured. After she told the lycan three of her favorite stories, she curled her body on top of the beast and stared at the sky that started to gradually turn bright.
It was just a few minutes before the sunrise and she was glad there had been no mishap tonight. It went uneventfully.
Not long after, Iris could feel the lycan’s body shivering, thus she sat straight and watched as the beast shifted back into his human form.
The sound of bones-cracking could be heard quite clearly in this crisp morning, as his bones got rearranged. A low growl followed by a whimper reverberated around her as that happened, but as the pain subsided and Cane returned to his usual self, Iris’ world fell so quiet once again.
"Are you okay?" Iris was concerned because Cane looked unusually pale. He was even panting slightly.
"Hm," he intoned. "Let’s go." He pushed himself up before reaching out his hand to help her stand up as well. The secret was still well hidden and this could prevent a huge trouble coming his way. It was all thanks to this woman, but then, it was still a mystery as to how she could have such an effect on him.
Iris took his hand, yet when she pushed herself off the ground, her legs gave away. She fell to her knees after the first step.
"What is it?" Cane was still holding on to her hand, his brows furrowed.
"I think my legs are numb," she said sheepishly. "Give me a minute."
