Chapter 633: THE STORM IS HERE (4)
"I don’t feel black magic, but I do feel something ominous, I think it is because the rain is not usual." Iris then proceeded to explain what she meant by this when Cane asked her. "It almost felt like... when you feel like something bad will happen..."
Iris frowned, she didn’t think her description was right, because at this point, ’bad things’ would definitely happen. They were going into a battle with the royal warrior after all, once they made a move.
"It’s okay." Cane stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek, he leaned over to kiss the tip of her nose, to reassure her everything would be alright. "Follow Aliana and stay close with your warriors, understood?"
At that time, Iris felt the unusual tension. "What happened? Something is wrong? Why did you ask Aliana to gather people in the training ground?" She glanced at the window and was sure the black rain was still pouring down. It was morning, but the sky was as dark as the night. It would make anyone felt unsettling. "The black rain is still pouring, is it okay to be exposed under such rain?" Iris felt anxious. She bit her lip and stared at her mate with furrow between her brows.
"It’s okay." Cane hugged her and then told her what happened, since there was no way to hide this important detail from her. "The royal warriors had made their move. Probably, this will not be safe, so I want you to leave if things went wrong."
Iris immediately pushed Cane away from her. She widened her eyes to protest, but Cane had spoke first.
"You promised me that you will agree with me, in this situation."
Iris shook her head. "No. You must have remembered it wrongly, because I have never said that I agreed with you." That was right. The topic changed before she gave the answer and Iris let it be, since that was how Cane used to avoid giving a definitive answer. She used the same method like him, which Cane found this endearing.
"You learn a lot." Cane stared at her upset mate tenderly. She had grown so much within a year they were together, but in fact, it was not only Iris, but he also had changed. He learned a lot from her too.
Iris might not realize it, but she helped him tremendously to navigate his feeling and slowly find his old self back. It was very free and calming every time he held her in his arms. She soothed his anger and appeased his anxiety. Her presence alone could pacify the turmoil within him.
"Cane, I don’t want to leave," Iris said, she felt very awful right now. She didn’t know what to feel and what to prioritize and Cane felt guilty when he said the next thing.
