Chapter 240: SHE NEEDS TO KEEP HER THOUGHTS FOR HERSELF
Cane really didn’t like the way Laluna hugged him. She reminded him of his destined mate, yes, but obviously she was not Leane and he wouldn’t think the similarity was more than the fact that the Princess was currently pregnant.
Yet, he couldn’t push her away like he wanted to, even so he tried to pry herself off him as unharmingly as possible.
"We need to get out of here," Cane said lightly, as he patted her shoulder to get her attention, a habit that he developed because of Iris, and slightly distanced himself, because he felt his skin burn with this proximity. He hated so much to be touched so intimately by someone that was not familiar to him.
Wiping her tears, Laluna let him go and nodded.
At this point, Cane needed to take her to the main hall, where all the other royal family members had gathered together, which meant he couldn’t proceed to check on his gamma.
"Oh..." Laluna almost fell when she walked, her legs were so weak, they gave in under the stress of the situation and how scared she was.
Thankfully, Cane was there to catch her elbow and steadied her again, he observed her briefly and was sure that she was not hurt anywhere, only scared.
"Can you walk?"
Laluna tried, but her legs gave away again, thankfully Cane was still holding her elbow. "I am sorry, I think I am so scared..." She felt so embarrassed to admit this, but she didn’t think she would walk quickly enough to get to the main hall.
