Chapter 194: YOU WILL GO DOWN WITH HIM
Iris woke up when she felt someone enter the room and found it was Hanna. She brought her and Cane their breakfast and because she saw the two of them were still sleeping, she didn’t linger for long and left right away after she put the tray on the table beside the bed.
Hanna also checked the fireplace and added more firewood to it to keep the room warm, because it started to get cold nowadays.
But, because she didn’t check on Iris again, she didn’t know that she had woken up. She just stared at her the whole time, yet, she didn’t make any sound because she didn’t want to wake Cane up.
Currently, the Alpha was still in the same position, he was still hugging her hips with his face buried in the crook of her shoulder, he breathed evenly.
Usually, Cane would wake up at even a little bit of noise and he would be highly alerted if someone came close to him, since his slavery days taught him so hard that he couldn’t have a good rest.
But right now, he let go of all the pain and worries. He put down his guard because it was so tiring and he didn’t want to think of anything. He wanted to be oblivious to the whole world.
The decision to execute Aria was hard on him, he had warned her several times, because he didn’t want to be forced into giving out that final verdict.
Not because Cane couldn’t do it, the fact that he was more than able to issue this order made him try his hardest to put a distance from her, because their mutual consent and the agreement between them had turned into an obsession on her part.
It wouldn’t do good to either of them.
On the other hand, Iris didn’t know all of those thoughts, but she could understand why Cane looked distraught after he issued the order, because for whatever reason, Aria was one of the closest people that Cane had.
Though Cane didn’t see her romantically, he must see her as a companion, just like how he saw his beta and gamma.
