Chapter 445: DON’T YOU WANT TO CHECK?
Amee realized the unfair treatment toward Iris had started taking toll on her and with Sofia being here, it only escalated things further to the worst case possible, as you could see the contrast between the way they treated their own luna and an outsider who claimed to be carrying the Alpha’s firstborn.
Kaz didn’t even wait for Cane’s instructions or confirmation before he rallied people behind him to hail Sofia as the new mistress. Some of them were desperate to find another ’Luna figure’ aside from Iris, because they couldn’t stand her.
Not because she was not good enough, but because every time they saw her, subconsciously they would be reminded of Gerald. It made things hard for them, as well as Iris.
"I wish nothing for you two, but happiness, Luna." Amee lowered her head and kissed both of Iris’ hands and then lifted her head back up to look at her. "Don’t ruin yourself for them. I know Alpha Cane has a huge aspiration and from how I see it, this will not be the only pack that’s going to need your attention."
Amee knew Cane ever since he was so young and with him eyeing those five packs, she could roughly see where all this was going. It wouldn’t be fair if the other packs got the new but ’nefarious Iris’ as their luna.
"Are you trying to tell me to abandon this pack and focus my energy on the other packs?" Iris concluded because the words Amee said implied so to her.
Amee pressed her lips into a thin line before she spoke again. "We are broken, Luna, too broken to see our wrongs. I just don’t want to see our wrongs kill the good in you."
Dead silence followed after that, as Iris didn’t say anything in response to what Amee confessed. She tilted her head to stare at Hanna. She finally let Will go, but was it the right thing to let go? Would it make your heart lighter? Make your life easier? Or, you just avoided the problem that would hunt you down with endless ’what if’s?
The serenity in the room was broken when Amee spoke again. She was still holding Iris’ hands. "By the end of the next summer, you will be the longest mate for Alpha Cane. And Luna Iris, I hope nothing but for both of you to be able to see all the four seasons every year."
Iris frowned because she couldn’t catch what Amee meant by that, which made the old woman smile gently as she explained it to her.
"Alpha Cane and Leane were only together for a total of ten months," Amee said. "Leane moved to Howling Wolf pack almost right after the two of them realized they were mates and she got pregnant a month later."
