Chapter 625: THE STORM WILL COME (2)
"Cane, you are the one, who asked me to stay!" Ethan protested. He was very sure that this alpha would give him more headache in the future with how possessive and overprotective he would be, but then he wouldn’t complain so much, since he was very happy to finally see Cane got what he deserved and fate was not too cruel on him.
More so, he got a glimpse of how Cane would treat Iris, since he had witnessed firsthand how the alpha was with Leane when she was pregnant. Probably, his tendency to be overprotective could be worst, giving how dire the situation they were now and the history of Iris’s health.
"A hug will not hurt her," Ethan grumbled.
On the other hand, Iris started laughing. She took the initiative to let go of Cane and approached Ethan. She gave the gamma a big hug so he could stop sulking. She felt like Ethan was more brother than the one she had. She liked the gamma a lot.
"Thank you!" Iris said happily, as she wrapped her arms around his body.
"Hey! I am not the one, who is hugging, okay!" Ethan raised both of his arms in line of his shoulder, gesturing he didn’t even touch Iris, but it was the other way around, as his eyes met with his alpha’s. "She is the one, who is hugging me."
Hearing that, Iris laughed even more, in which made the alpha a little bit tolerable to see his mate hugging another man, but only for this time and it was because of how great the relationship of the two of them.
Seeing the alpha said nothing, though his expression was still screaming danger, Ethan sighed and shifted his attention to Iris, who was still clinging on him. "I hope nothing, but happiness for both of you. You deserved it." Ethan then patted Iris’s hair and hugged her briefly. "Okay, let me go now, or else your mate will eat me alive."
"Be safe, Ethan," Iris said. She didn’t know what future held for them, but after hearing the news that Ethan brought, she was very worried. She didn’t want people she cared the most to get hurt, it would break her heart.
Ethan laughed. "I will only send a few letters to the other packs, the worst could happen I stain my pretty cloak." He wondered how Iris’s reaction would be if she learned the alpha had tricked him to feel alpha Nolan and put him in danger.
But then, he swallowed back the temptation because he found himself still feared Cane the most. The alpha probably would kill him by giving him more assignments. At this point, he could die for overworking himself.
