Chapter 427: APPRECIATION
People stole a glance at Iris with a mixed expression. They thought Joel’s request was out of the line, especially after what happened yesterday and how Iris refused to help Kaz and the others to get out of the trouble with the Alpha.
They had heard how Iris had taught some of the warriors how to read and write, but because most of the people in the pack house didn’t interact with the warriors constantly, the fact was subconsciously pushed to the back of their minds.
They knew it, but didn’t think much about it, just like how they knew Iris had helped them tremendously and went far and beyond for them during their darkest times. They just overlooked it so easily again.
However, seeing the interaction between Joel and Iris, they felt like someone just poured cold water on them. They didn’t know what to feel, as they lowered their heads.
Meanwhile, Iris couldn’t care less about them, because she wanted to find Hanna and ask her to get her and Cane breakfast, because on second thought, she didn’t really want to go to the kitchen again, especially after she saw Maria.
"Joel, have you seen Hanna? I am looking for her," Iris said, as she and Joel walked away. The young boy looked so excited to learn new things from the Luna, even the way he walked almost looked like he was jumping up and down.
"Oh, I saw Hanna going to the market early this morning," Joel said. He bumped into her when he was about to go to the pack house and Hanna wanted to go out.
"Oh." Iris was a little bit disappointed, as she thought she needed to go to the kitchen by herself.
"Do you need help with anything, Luna?" Joel asked, seeing how Iris’ expression changed. "Tell me what you need, I think I will be able to help."
"No, it’s..." Iris didn’t know how to bring this up. "I want to get some breakfast for Cane and I," she finally said.
She didn’t think going to the dining hall was a good idea, where she might meet a lot of people. The last thing she wanted was to be crowded by the people who always judged her.
