Chapter 320: IRIS CAME UP WITH SOMETHING
Iris didn’t want Kellan to take Joyce with him, because she knew what kind of fate he would make the girl to succumb to.
"Cane, please. Don’t make him take her away to the palace," Iris cried.
But Cane said nothing, and waited until she was calm enough. "I can’t promise you anything. There is no definite plan to stop him from taking the girl."
Right now, there were a lot of things going on, Cane was in the middle of his plot and he had to tread his path carefully. If he did something to prevent Kellan from taking the girl from his own orphanage, something he was used to, it would get his attention and the last thing Cane wanted when he was in the middle of the eye of the storm was to startle the snake in the bushes.
The risk was too high and there would be a lot at stake if he alerted Kellan he was against him, since he had a long plan ahead of him for that prince.
"I can’t promise you this." Cane didn’t sugarcoat his words, he explained the risks and what was at stake to her. He didn’t mean to say the girl’s innocence was not important, but they were talking about a whole pack, a whole plot, even their own lives.
Iris bit her lips so hard, she couldn’t believe there was nothing they could do to save the girl. But, on the other hand, she understood why Cane’s hands were tied in this matter.
"This is so wrong..." Iris muttered, she felt like she was unable to save herself again and the girl would live through the nightmare that was now haunting her every night.
"I know." Cane lifted her head and looked her in the eyes, those blue eyes looked so devastated and it bothered him to see how upset she was. "This will not be the last difficult situation you will face if you choose to stay with me."
