Chapter 577: CANE WAS NOT YET DONE WITH HER
Iris flinched when Cane pulled himself out of her and pulled her to lie on his chest, as he leaned against the bathtub.
"Are you okay?" Cane asked again, his voice didn’t sound so angry anymore, as he took off her dress, while Iris snuggled against him sleepily. Her hand was numb, but it was better than the last time.
"Hm... sleepy," Iris mumbled, closing her eyes and nuzzling his neck.
Seeing her like this, of course, Cane couldn’t continue to get angry with her, nor could he reprimand her for touching the lycan.
In the end, it was Cane, who bathed her and by the time they returned to their bedroom, Iris had fallen asleep and the room had been cleaned, though if you were a shifter, you would still smell a faint scent of blood inside this room, but it was still bearable.
Cane didn’t put any clothes on her and let her sleep naked, since the weather was warm and a blanket was enough to keep her warm enough.
After that, Cane stayed awake until morning. He would deal with the seven warriors later because he didn’t want to leave Iris alone, he didn’t trust himself to fall asleep after the lycan took over his consciousness.
Even so, begrudgingly, Cane had to thank the cursed creature for taking care of that intruder, or else the aftermath could have been more dire than this.
The whole night, Cane stared at Iris’ sleeping face, peppering her with kisses here and there and running his fingers on the scars on her back absentmindedly. He heard the conversation between Lu and Iris earlier, as he was also listening, though his focus was not on the subject. He got a grip of the bigger picture of who Rei was and it seemed he would be a pain in the ass in the near future if he held some kind of power upon the Holy Kingdom.
He spent the whole night thinking about his next step and what he was going to do when they finally met with the Serafim and the people from the Holy Kingdom, would they take Iris away? Or would they go against her? Would Rei appear again?
Of course, he would. They would reach a moment where they had to face that hypocritical man, who resorted to using black magic for his own selfish reasons, but condemned anyone else, who did the same thing.
