225: THE UNSPEAKABLE MOMENT

THE UNSPEAKABLE MOMENT

Somehow, Iris was mesmerized by her mate and how they had a match color. Cane looked exceptionally gorgeous in black, thus she smiled subconsciously. 2

However, her smile immediately disappeared when she watched how a dark wisp appeared from Cane's hand again just like when they met with the king for the first time in the main hall.

Her eyes filled with horror when she approached Cane and took his hand, as she showed this oddity to him.

"Look! This is what I saw before!" Iris said, her voice laced with panic because she was afraid something bad could happen to him.

Cane's expressionless face finally showed some change when he witnessed the dark wisp that came from his hand. He didn't feel there was something wrong with him, neither he felt it when the dark wisp emanated from his palms.

"What is this…" he muttered under his breathe, his brows knitted together deeply. There was something wrong with his body and he didn't know what was that and how to stop it.

"This is what I was talking about when I said the dark wisp came out of you," Iris said, as Cane raised his hand to his face to see what kind of wisp was that.

It almost like his hand was on fire and the smoke came from it, yet he felt nothing. He didn't even realize what was happening until Iris mentioned it.

Myriad of thoughts came to his mind. He was sure this was the after effect of the dark magic that Aria used on him. Would this turn him into a lycan even without the new moon?

His ears rang and everything became so bleak for Cane. He barely managed to keep his secret as a lycan, but right now, this happened and he was not sure what he was. He felt like one day he would turn into a monster.

All the possibilities flashed before his eyes, but all of them were not a good one.

However, among his negative thoughts, all of sudden Iris clasped her hand, she held him and covered the dark wisp with her hand.

"I did this and I think it will make the dark wisp go away," Iris said in serious tone.

Meanwhile, Cane was unable to think anymore, he stared into their intertwined fingers and saw how the dark wisp gradually disappeared and when Iris loosened her grip, it had gone. His palm had turned normal.

"It's gone!" Iris said cheerfully, as she raised her head and looked at Cane. His face was so pale.

No one could understand how he felt right now. Fear started to creep in his heart, as many thoughts swirled in his mind. What if one day he turned into a lycan and would never return back? What if he would be the reason how his pack was destroyed because of this secret?

Cane felt like he returned to his hopeless state, when Gerald assaulted his pack member and he couldn't do anything about it. How Gerald made sure to burry deep in his mind how hopeless and useless he was as the alpha of his pack. How he would bring his pack to its demise one day. The negative thought escalated very quickly.

And for the fact that he didn't know the extent of the side effect of the dark magic that Aria had unintentionally inflicted on him, put him in that state again; useless and weak.

"Alpha?" Iris called him, she didn't know what was in his mind right now, but his expression looked very ashen and he was slightly trembling. "Alpha? What happened?" she reached out her hand to cup his face and caressed his cheeks. "It's gone, the dark wisp is gone. It's fine now."

It was fine now, but what about later when it appeared again? Was that a coincidence that Iris could get rid of it? And what if she couldn't? What happened then?

There were hundreds of plans in Cane's mind about how to protect his pack and legacy, but then the greatest problem came from himself and he didn't have a single shred of way about how to fix this, how to fix himself.

Cane couldn't tell anyone about this, he was not used to do that and didn't know how to start it. For now, only Iris knew about this peculiarity.

He raised his head and saw how his mate looked at him with worry in her beautiful blue eyes, she kept saying something to appease him, but he couldn't hear what exactly she said.

He stared into her eyes and the concern she had for him, it was so genuine, he wanted to reach out his hand to smooth the crease between her brows.

"Let's sit down for a while, I will get you a glass of water," Iris said, as she turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly Cane pulled her back.

He hugged her from behind, as he buried his face against the crook of her shoulder, breathing in her scent, which could help to calm him down.

Cane didn't realize what he was doing, but even when he did, he didn't let her go. He tightened her arms around her body.

Meanwhile, didn't know what to do, but she didn't struggle to free herself from him, because somehow, she knew he wouldn't do something bad to her. He only held her so close, like what he did when they fell asleep together.

Was this another unspeakable moment between them? Something that they would never mention? The vulnerable moment, where they felt a little bit closer?

In the end, Iris stretched out her hand and caressed his head, she ran her fingers through his hair.

"I am so scared, I don't know what to do, I feel like everything falls apart…" he whispered to her ear, but there was no way Iris could know what he was talking about.

However, that was what made Cane could tell her about what he felt right now, because she couldn't hear the sorrow in his voice.
