Chapter 446: BARE FEELING
Iris couldn’t believe Cane would say something like that to her. She was well aware that Cane was really good with his words, but he was using that skill on her now and she couldn’t help but turn so red, while the Alpha stared at his mate with fascination in his dark eyes.
"I thought you invited another man to our bedroom to bar the door," Cane said in a dark voice and this left Iris stunned when he put it that way.
"No! What are you trying to imply? Joel is just a boy!" Iris panicked a little, afraid Cane would misunderstand the situation. She didn’t want to put Joel in trouble, moreover, what Cane implied was a serious accusation.
However, Cane simply nibbled on her lip before he lifted his head to see the confusion and anxiousness in her blue eyes. "I know," he said simply. "But, people who don’t like you and the enemy will not care about such details. Be careful."
Right now, with the King here and his people roaming around their pack, they couldn’t be sure what kind of word that would reach the King and how it would be used against them, thus they needed to be extra wary with their actions.
For Iris and the people around them, what she did was an innocent act, but from an outsider’s perspective and those people, who wanted to take them down, a luna inviting one of the warriors into her chambers in the Alpha’s absence could be considered as an act of adultery. It was extremely inappropriate, in most cases, the woman would be killed on the spot by their man.
Probably, Joel didn’t think about that either, since the young warrior only thought of how to help the Luna, but such an innocent action could cost them more than they could imagine.
Iris only realized it when Cane mentioned it. She turned pale.
"I am sorry, I didn’t think twice... I really didn’t mean it that way." Iris shook her head vigorously.
"I know," Cane said in a reassuring tone, as he massaged the back of her neck to ease her tense body. "Don’t do it again."
Iris nodded. "I am sorry."
