Chapter 834: ABBY’S DECISION
The word that Iris said about how Cane still thought of him like a father hit him hard. He saw Cane as his best friend’s son and for him to look up to him like that sent a mixed feeling in his mind.
"I did it because of that. I don’t need anything else." Iris grabbed Cane’s hand. "Your son will be fine and if you kept insisting to side with Kellan, that’s on you. With this, my mate can sincerely fight you."
Iris could see how this revelation shocked alpha Derick, for them not to demand anything from him. Cane was right about the reaction that alpha Derick would have with the way they responded after saving Cezi’s life.
"With this, you owed us, but we don’t owe you anything, so when the time came and you were still unable to see the truth, there is no regret."
After Iris’s last word, Cane took Iris with him, he himself didn’t say anything, but instead, it gave a great impact on alpha Derick, as he could only stood there, speechless out of his mind.
Later on, inside the carriage, Iris asked more detail about Cane’s decision not to take this opportunity to get alpha Derick on their side.
"We can demand him to take our side and do something with Kellan’s warriors." In Iris’s mind in that way, it would be an easy access for them to reach alpha Colter.
However, Cane had different opinion. "He will only resent me if I did that. Alpha Derick is still in the state where he respects and adores him so much, for the alpha to betray him will give him an internal conflict."
Cane pulled Iris toward her and caressed her cheeks, he liked the fire in her eyes, she looked so alive and well.
"I don’t want to have someone who harbored resentment by my side, Iris. Having someone like that, will only put you in great danger." Keeping someone like that would only put you in disadvantage, since it would be hard to judge, where they stood. "You saw it yourself, Cezi will be the key for this."
If they wanted to get alpha Derick and Celestial Moon pack to their side, alpha Derick had to open his eyes to the truth and willingly get away from Kellan’s clutch.
