Chapter 588: IRIS’S FRUSTRATION
"Why should I bother telling Cane?" Iris didn’t change her expression when she questioned him back. "To give you more reasons to hate me?"
Zephyr gulped down with difficulty, he felt so ashamed. He didn’t even dare to meet with those blue eyes of hers directly.
"Don’t worry, I’m used to enduring everything alone. Your words were nothing compared to what I have heard my whole life. It’s not something new to me." Iris disliked herself right now. Being passive aggressive like this made her feel depressed.
But it was Zephyr’s fault to bring up the topic to begin with.
Iris tried to forget about it, since it only hurt her badly to know what they were thinking about her. She almost succeeded in pushing that hurtful moment to the back of her mind, along with the trauma and every other horrendous thing she had ever endured, but Zephyr touched the wound again.
"Even though it will be nice if you can restrain yourself from insulting me, I can’t control the way you perceive me, nor can I change how you feel about me."
This time, Iris gritted her teeth, feeling so mad for being reminded of it again.
However, Zephyr didn’t see that, because right now he was more interested in staring at the floor beneath his feet, feeling mortified because of the guilt that ate at him alive.
"You don’t need to talk about this anymore, it has been established that you don’t like me and I don’t have an obligation to like you either. Let’s be civil with each other."
"Luna, if you let the alpha know about it, he will remove us from the position of your personal warriors. Why didn’t you do that?" Zephyr asked again, but he still didn’t look at Iris. He was physically taller in front of this petite luna. He was your typical warrior shifter with a bulky and tall body that could intimidate you.
Yet, Zephyr felt so small and useless in the presence of this auburn haired woman who looked so delicate.
