Chapter 368: ANOTHER SIDE OF IRIS (2)
Redmond was stunned to see how Cane took the dagger calmly. As a warrior, he knew the Alpha could avoid getting stabbed easily, but he didn’t dodge it. Hell! He didn’t even try. He used such an extreme way to get the dagger out of Iris’ hand.
Once Cane could pry Iris’ hand away from the handle, he put some distance between them, to make sure she wouldn’t be able to snatch it back, only then Cane pulled out the dagger and threw it away, as more fresh blood burst out from his wound.
The way Cane took out the dagger recklessly, only aggravated the wound. Knowing what happened to the Alpha, Redmond shouldn’t be surprised how well he could endure the pain, but he still was.
Redmond was stupefied, until Jace elbowed him to get his attention.
"Where is Alpha Gill?" Jace asked. He used this reason to give some space for Cane and Iris. He didn’t need to know how the Alpha would take control of the situation, as he knew he wouldn’t handle it poorly. "Take me to him first."
And without waiting for Redmond’s answer, the Beta immediately dragged him away and closed the door behind him.
Inside the room, once it was only the two of them, Cane stared into Iris’ eyes deeply and then took off his cloak, so he could cover her body.
Yet, Iris didn’t even care about her current state, as she slapped Cane so hard, her nails grazed his cheek. Blood streamed down from his cheek. Even so, Cane didn’t do anything, nor did he look angry at his mate.
"Iris, it’s me." Cane didn’t make any move, since he didn’t want to upset her further. It seemed, her mind was elsewhere. She saw everything as a danger she had to protect herself from. It was almost like an instinct and all Cane could do was to pull her back to reality.
