125: FORGIVE ME

FORGIVE ME

Iris looked at the small wooden box in front of her, she could feel there were water magic stones inside without even opening it, but because Cane told her to check it, she took the box and opened it to find two water magic stones that shone brightly.

She took one of them out and looked at the stone closely.

"That's a legit thing. If you are familiar with magic stones, you must know." Cecillia looked relaxed, she wasn't worried at all.

On the other hand, Cane and Iris said nothing. He could tell that they were original, since he had spent a lot of time mining those stones.

But, there was another thing that they needed to check and Iris knew that as well.

It took a while for Iris to look into the stone and then return both of them to the wooden box before she nodded. "Yes, they are authentic," she said.

Fergan took the box away and secured it.

"So? Will we meet again here?" Cecillia asked, she looked at Cane, but then dropped her gaze, because his dark eyes were too scary for her. "We will be here until next week."

"Just wait for the news from me," Cane said and then he didn't waste anymore time and stood up.

Seeing that, Iris also did the same, she looked at the two of them before she followed Cane out of there, she walked a step behind him back to their inn.

And just like before, none of them talked.

But, when they arrived at the inn and Iris was about to return to her room, Cane called her over to his bedroom.

"What about those two magic stones?" Cane asked her immediately, as he closed the door behind him. He had asked for their lunch to be delivered to their room, because a few hours from now, they would leave for the black market.

Iris knew he would ask about this. It was only him who she told about the origin of the little lizard. "No. Those two water magic stones are nothing like the fire magic stone."

What she meant with nothing was; those stones didn't have the core element like the fire magic stone did, before it hatched into a lizard.

"Did that only work with fire magic stones?" Cane seemed to have posed the question to himself and then, he raised his head. "Tell me again how it hatched."

Iris then recalled the event with all the details that she had already told him. There was nothing that she missed and now she had told the same thing twice, only now it was way more structural.

"Are you sure it was a fire magic stone, and not something else?" Iris asked him.

This was the first time for Iris to witness such a thing, but then she was not familiar with the magic stones until recently. She thought she was gifted to feel the magic stones, probably this was a gift to offset the fact that she was a runt, yet the lizard was a different thing entirely.

On the other hand, even though Cane didn't have the ability Iris had, he had learned a few things about the magic stones and had been seeing them since he was a child, because of the shared mines between the Howling Wolf pack and the Blue Moon pack.

"No, that's a real thing." He could tell that for sure.

Right at that time, someone knocked on the door behind Cane. It was the workers of the inn who brought their lunch.

The delicious smell of the delicacies wafted in the air and this tempted the little lizard to come out of the pouch.

Iris took the little thing out of the pouch once all the servants had put down their lunch on the table and left the room.

She took a piece of meat and gave it to it, which it munched on happily.

Cane frowned, he thought that little thing was sure eating too much for its tiny body. It seemed there was more for him to look into and find out how the fire magic stone that they gave could be so different from the others.

After finishing lunch with Cane in silence, she went back to her bedroom and slept for a while, before she woke up and changed her clothes. Half an hour from now, they would leave for the black market.

Iris braided her hair, while the little lizard slept in her lap. Now that she had to do this by herself without Hanna's help, she could do it faster.

Only after she was done did she walk out of the room to meet with the others in the restaurant on the first floor.

However, the moment she opened the door, she saw someone was waiting for her and it was one of the two warriors that Ethan had brought along with them.

He looked at Iris sheepishly and this made her a little bit confused. Why was he here?1

"Did the alpha call for me?" Iris asked him, but he shook his head and scratched his neck. He looked like he was about to talk, but didn't know how. "What is it? Is there something important?"

He then looked around, as if to make sure there was no one there. The corridor was empty, it was only the two of them here.

After making sure no one was there, he suddenly dropped to his knees with his head lowered, which startled Iris.

What is this? Iris blinked her eyes, because she couldn't understand this gesture. "What are you doing?" She took two steps back, puzzled by this action.

"Luna, please forgive me," he said in a low and regretful voice.

"What?" Iris blinked her eyes. She didn't understand what she should forgive him for. If she was not mistaken, his name was Avid, but she didn't remember that he had offended her before. "For what? Why should I forgive you?"

Avid raised his head and looked at her earnestly. "Have you forgotten about what I did to you?"
