143: SHE COULD LEAN AGAINST HIM

SHE COULD LEAN AGAINST HIM

Iris was startled when Alan dragged her away from Redmond's side all of a sudden and told his men to surround the alpha, Will and Redmond, so they couldn't do anything to help her.

No matter how much she tried struggling to get away from his grip, she couldn't free herself, instead, his grip became only tighter and she felt like he was going to crush her bones.

This despicable man!

Right at that time, Iris remembered the little lizard and opened her pouch a little bit, just enough for its little head to poke out of the pouch around her waist and shoot fire at his hand. She didn't know how, but somehow, she knew that she could make this little creature do what she wanted it to do.

It came so naturally to her, just like breathing.

"AH! What was that?!" Alan immediately let go of her hand, but when he raised his hand to take a look at the 'assaulted' part, the burning was already healed.

Actually, that kind of fire wouldn't harm him, but Alan didn't expect to feel the burning sensation, thus he became hysterical. He had a tendency to be a little bit dramatic from how Iris saw it.

Thankfully, because all of their attention was on Cane and the others, no one saw how Iris' little lizard had taken care of her offender.

Once he freed her hand, Iris immediately rushed toward Redmond and stood behind him, while Alan was still wailing like a little boy.

"What have you done? What was that?!" He looked angry because he lost his grip on Iris. Lou refused to give him the Asturi stem, no matter how much he offered to pay. He wanted that girl. Why would he want that deaf girl?

"What happened, My Prince?" Corry immediately went to his side. He was confused, but he couldn't see any injuries.

"She burned me!" Alan pointed an accusatory finger at Iris, as he wailed agitatedly. He must have never been hurt before to fuss so much over such a little move.

"I didn't do anything," Iris said, she opened both of her palms to show him that she wasn't holding anything that could burn him. Her big, blue eyes looked at him innocently.

That was right, it was not her who had done it, it was her little lizard, so she didn't lie.

Alan and Corry didn't have any idea how she could burn him, but of course, the three men around Iris knew what was going on. They sneered in their hearts.

"If you don't have anything to do, get lost!" Cane was furious because Alan's man was still blocking his way. He shoved the man aside, which caused him to tumble on the floor. He used so much strength when he did that and the powerful aura that surrounded him was unmatched, even compared to the crown prince.

"Alpha Cane, we can talk about this peacefully, you don't need to be so angry, you know how Alan is. I hope you don't take this matter seriously." Corry then bravely added with a light tone. "In this place, his title meant nothing, but you don't live in this place forever, do you?"

As expected of an advisor, his words were so smooth, even when he was throwing threats at the alpha.

Cane narrowed his eyes, as he calculated the situation. Being on the royal family's bad side was not something that he could afford any time soon with his pack's current condition, he had to tread his path carefully.

"What do you want?" Cane asked coldly. He didn't really back down, but he was open for a discussion.

"Don't you hear me?! I want that woman! Give her to me!" Alan was furious. His hand was no longer in pain, but he didn't like it when he was being attacked like that, especially by a woman, a runt on top of that. His big ego couldn't take it. "Give her to me or else, I will make you regret it once we get out of here!"

"'That woman' is my luna. There is a rule for this out of this black market, you will not live in this place forever, will you?" Cane talked to Alan, but his eyes were directed at Corry instead. "Open the door." This time, Cane didn't talk to Alan. He ordered Will to open the door instead.

Corry used the mind-link to calm Alan down. Whatever he said, it seemed, it managed to make the crown prince step aside and let them go.

Will opened the door for them and Cane took Iris' hand, as he walked out of this inn, under the infuriated glare of Alan.

Outside, there were three horses that had been waiting for them, but this time, Cane helped Iris onto his own horse, instead of letting her go with Redmond as usual.

"I can go with Redmond." Iris was trying to remind him, but Cane said nothing, as he mounted the horse and overwhelmed her with his masculine scent. He looked so calm, despite being so aggressive a moment ago. "I will go with…"

"Quiet."

That was only a single word, but it managed to mum her. This was the second time for her to ride the horse with him. His strong arms caged her body, making her feel safe, but she was so tense.

Iris could be casual when she was with Redmond, she could lean her body forward and rest against his back, since she was sitting behind him, but right now, Cane made her sit on the front and the only option for her was to lean her back against his chest. Would he allow it?

All the way from the inn to the exit gates of the black market, Iris tried to keep her body straight, but she was not sure that she could keep the same up for a half day more journey.

Yet, as if sensing how tense her body was, it was Cane who pushed her body against his chest, as if telling her that she could lean against him.0
