Chapter 307: PLEASE, DON’T HURT HER
Cane closed his eyes and gulped the water, but when the glass was empty, he lowered his hand and smashed it against the table, as it shattered into sharp shards, cutting his cheek and his skin, until his hand bled from the glass being actually crushed under his tight grip.
"Ah!" Hanna shrieked, she looked mortified to see the Alpha. She looked at his back, trembling. Even his back alone looked so scary, she couldn’t imagine his expression right now. "Al- alpha... Miss Iris was just a little kid then... she didn’t know any better... I am sure there was nothing between them. They were just friends back then. Miss Iris was happy because no one played with her... Please, Alpha... think clearly. She was only a poor little child who wanted a friend..."
Hanna blabbered, the way she assumed the situation to be was the same as how Redmond was thinking about what was going on upon facing the Alpha’s questions and reaction.
They assumed the Alpha thought Iris and Prince Kellan had a special connection, that they had a relationship behind his back, back in the day when she was little. If worse came to the worst, they assumed Cane thought Kellan was Iris’ first love or something.
They didn’t know. They really didn’t know...
After all, being someone who was so ignorant of the little horrifying details of what they knew, the way Cane acted right now justified their assumption.
More so, they couldn’t think straight with an enraged alpha within close proximity. His anger was so suffocating.
On the other hand, Cane simply waved his hand to shake off the sharp shards that embedded into his palm, before he pulled them out of his flesh, so he could stop bleeding, yet he didn’t even flinch when he did that. He was numb with pain.
The only thing that rang in his ears was Hanna’s voice, which said Iris couldn’t tell anyone because Prince Kellan told her not to. The same words that she repeated in her dreams with her small voice filled with fear.
