Chapter 559: THE STRANGE CONDITION
"What is going on, Cane?" Iris asked him when they were back in the comfort of their bedroom. It was not this luxurious bedroom that offered them peace, being in each other’s presence did. It was the absolute heaven for the two of them. It was a break that they needed. "Was it the mutineers?"
Iris could see that Cane’s wolf spirit was fine and this made her feel relieved, but she needed to see with her own eyes, to be sure, especially the spots with bloodstains.
Cane watched how worried Iris was and his gaze turned misty. He let her touch him casually, something he wouldn’t let anyone else do. He didn’t like to be touched, but after being with her this long, the thought of it didn’t bother him anymore, but of course, it only applied to her, since he wouldn’t let anyone else touch him so easily.
"Yes." Cane extended his hand and played with her hair.
"I will get you clean clothes, so you will feel comfortable." Iris immediately went to pick the clothes before Cane could say anything and the Alpha felt better to see how anxious his mate was. It was bad of him to feel delighted to see his mate like this, but it was a nice feeling to know someone was genuinely worried about him.
It was not that his pack members didn’t care about him, but of course, it was a different feeling when it was his mate.
Iris returned with a set of clothes for Cane and then went back to fetch a towel and a basin of warm water.
"You can ask someone to do it." Cane tilted his head to see how busy his mate was. Her face turned red because she moved around so much.
"I can do it." Letting someone else do it, meant letting them enter the bedroom. Iris didn’t like the idea, nor did Cane. "You did it for me a few times when I was sick, I can do it, too." There was a tinge of stubbornness to her voice, as she wanted to return the favor.
"Okay." Cane caressed her cheek and kissed the tip of her nose.
"Raise both of your arms." Iris knelt in front of Cane on the bed, so she could take off his shirt.
