Chapter 513: A NIGHT FOR THEMSELVES
"Hi, Iris! It has been a while since I last saw you!" Lou said excitedly and became overly chummy, waving his hands without even bothered by the sharp glares the warriors threw at him for being so disrespectful and greeting their luna inappropriately. "Finally, we meet again!" Lou tilted his head. "You look chubbier!"
Lou strode inside the dining hall and looked at the food. It was not to his taste, but it was better than anything he had eaten in the last three days.
After he went to the Goffa mountain in search of Cane and Iris, apparently, the Alpha managed to return, but when he was about to go back to the pack, Cane had, maliciously, ordered him to start building some magical devices around the pack.
It would take him weeks before he could go back to the pack house and meet with Iris.
Lou was so mad until he got a second order to find the lizard and give the creature to the guards, so he didn’t need to go to the pack house. Of course, Lou didn’t want to do that and delivered the lizard in person.
"Chu- Chubbier...?" Iris pursed her lips. The merchant probably meant it as a compliment, but you shouldn’t talk about weight with women, especially in front of so many people.
Meanwhile, Cane caught the lizard mid air and stared at the little creature, which looked so dirty and in poor state. He quickly put it in his plate, which made Iris shriek, she forgot about Lou’s comment; how she looked a little fat now.
"Oh! I am so hungry! I was starving in the mountains! Iris, can you believe..." Lou didn’t manage to finish his words, noticing Iris’ attention was clearly not on him.
She had other priorities.
"Cane, don’t put it in your plate!" But, it was too late and she was about to get the poor lizard and ask for another plate of meat for Cane, but her mate simply grabbed her hand and stood up. "Where are you going? You have not finished eating yet." Iris also stood up from her seat, as Cane started pulling her hand to leave with him.
Cane leaned over, almost like he was going to kiss her neck, though he only whispered into her ear. His hand wrapped around her hips while the other went to hold the back of her neck. "I told you that I am going to take you somewhere, let’s go now."
