Chapter 649: ’MOTHER’
"How is the situation in the border?" Iris asked, she straddled Cane, as she refused to sit on the bed. Lately, she liked sitting on his lap like this, while Cane didn’t mind it at all and play with her hair. He leaned his back against the headboard, staring at his mate.
"Not many things have changed." Cane leaned over and pecked the tip of her nose. "You don’t need to worry about this." He caressed her neck and Iris leaned against his touch.
"You start to close yourself off again," Iris pursed her lips. She put both her palms against his chest to steady herself.
Cane chuckled. Iris remembered the first time she saw Cane chuckled, since he didn’t do that very often in the past, but now he did it more naturally and frequently.
She used to imagine how it sounded like to hear him chuckling and now, she could hear it, she loved it. One of the most grateful things about being able to hear was being able to hear her mate’s voice.
"I am not." Cane ran his fingers down her jawline to her collarbones. "It’s because there are not many things have changed. Everything still the same and I assumed those warriors have not yet received an order to proceed an attack."
"What about alpha Nolan? You invited five thousand warriors from the Winter Moon pack, is it okay?" Iris knew about the Winter Moon pack actually joined hand with the royal family. Based on alpha Nolan’s personality alone, he could double cross anyone, as he saw it fit.
There was also a chance, alpha Nolan would betray the royal family once he saw the situation was not in their favor, for now, that nasty alpha only wanted to see, which side had the biggest potential to win, because he didn’t want to be on the losing side.
"You don’t need to worry about that, I have everything under control," Cane reassured her and started to kiss her lips, as he caressed her back, Iris liked it whenever he did it and usually, it was enough to distract her.
Cane loved this rare moment, where they could be together alone. Because of the border warriors didn’t back away, they couldn’t put their guard down, they were in constant alert.
However, this time it didn’t work, because Iris pushed Cane away and glared at him. She was trying so hard to look intimidating, but there was nothing scary about his adorable mate.
