Chapter 567: I DON’T LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW
Everyone was shocked to see Iris’ defiant side. Even Cane was not an exception, though his mind was not in the right headspace.
This was the first time he received a ’no’ from Iris so firmly. She tried her hardest to stand her ground and he could see how much she suppressed her fear when she defied him, even so, she was stubborn to back down and oblige him.
Iris balled her fists, she waited for Cane’s next response or what he was going to say when she openly rejected his order in front of his people.
Other alphas would have beaten one to death if their woman so much as made a refusal to a direct order, especially when it happened in front of the other pack members. It was almost like a slap to the Alpha’s face to have someone challenge their command.
Iris realized that too late, but she was desperate because Cane didn’t want to listen to her. She bit her lip nervously and when Cane walked toward her, she lowered her head. She flinched hard as he kept walking closer. Would he hit her?
She would be lashed whenever she had dared enough to disregard an order, her body still remembered that, which made her hunch her shoulders and flinch, waiting for the pain, as she closed her eyes.
However, the pain didn’t come, instead it was Cane’s harsh voice from behind her that made Iris open her eyes again.
"Where is that boy?!" Cane growled impatiently.
"Ah..." Iris immediately approached Cane with the little girl’s spirit close to her. She went to the collapsed building and looked at the spirit.
Ethan approached Aliana after witnessing that intense moment. They thought Cane would lose it on Iris and do something unforgivable, it crossed their minds because of the look on the Alpha’s face, even more since Iris crossed a line she shouldn’t. It was an unwritten rule to not let down a direct order from the Alpha, especially in public. It was a humiliation.
"I think this will be their first fight, right?" Aliana asked Ethan, who was standing by her side.
