Chapter 863: PLEDGED THEIR LOYALTY
"Lu..." Iris was being very patient with this lycan. "Be good and listen to me, okay? Or, I will not speak to you again." Iris grabbed both of his hands and kissed his knuckles. "We need them. This is not over yet. I don’t want you to be in danger anymore and we need more people to fight for us."
Lu pouted his lips. He stared into Iris’s blue eyes, it pained him to realize Na was gone. Her soul was gone. Her life essence had merged completely with Iris and they had become one and now Lu was left behind again, keeping his promise to Na for helping Iris to destroy Decratic.
He couldn’t disappear yet because the sixth sword was within him and that sword and Iris were the closest thing to her...
"I want a hug," Lu sulked.
"Of course." Iris was more than willing to give the lycan a warm hug and he buried his face against the crook of her shoulder, closing his eyes to savor her sweet scent.
Lu had waited Na for five centuries only to have a brief moment with her, but he was willing to wait for more centuries to have that short precious moment again, even if it was only a remnant of her.
They stayed like that for almost half an hour because Lu refused to let Iris go. The lycan became exceptionally quiet during this time and he didn’t even mention anything about sex, neither he initiated it like he used to.
It was only an innocent moment between them and somehow, Iris could feel his... sadness? She might think too much about it.
When they finally left the room, the sun had set and all the preparation had been made. Ethan and Jace were there, so did the previous alpha, Derick and the current alpha of the Celestial Moon pack, Cezi, along with their warriors.
Iris couldn’t see Abby or Liam and Cedric, but she saw the three elders, they stood at the sideline and their eyes fixed on Cane. All the people there must know that it was the lycan, since his red eyes gave away his presence.
The elders didn’t seem happy to see the lycan, since they still had this mindset to get rid of the cursed creature, but the situation was rather complicated for them to pursue this matter.
