253: THE SCARY ALPHA

THE SCARY ALPHA

Cane didn't really let Iris walked alone in the middle of the night, especially after the second attack of the monster, his conscience didn't allow him to do that, but he was not going to reveal himself, as he followed her in his wolf form. 0

He watched how frustrated she was and heard every murmur that she said, also how she called him annoying.

Probably, if it was not for Lou, Iris would never know that Cane was actually keeping his eyes on her from the shadow.

However, the merchant knew no boundaries, as he grabbed Iris's hand and forced her to stay when she was about to leave and before Cane's mind was able to decide what he was going to do, his body had moved first.

Cane let out a dangerous growled, as he emerged from the dark, his golden eyes shone brightly and a glimpse of him was enough to send his message crystal clear. The beast was ready to attack if he didn't back away.

Therefore, out of instinct, Lou let go of Iris's hand and backed away. After all, he didn't have enough energy to perform any magic right now, let alone to fight an alpha beast.

Cane prowled forward, his golden eyes fixed on the merchant, as he emanated a killing intent that was so strong, which made Iris turned around and found Cane in his wolf form.

She didn't believe her own eyes that he actually came after her. Or was this a coincidence? Did he want to go somewhere? Iris couldn't help, but questioning her own judgment whenever Cane did something out of ordinary.

"Alpha Cane," Lou greeted Cane, as he bent his body in exaggerated way.

Cane shifted into his human form, as he took Iris to his side, not even once he spared her a glance, as his angry dark eyes were on the merchant. His grip on Iris's hips tightened and this made her grimaced slightly. It was so obvious that the alpha was not happy with this situation.

"It's a coincidence that we meet here," Lou said cheekily. It was fate when he met with Iris, but it was a coincidence when it was Cane that he met. "May I know why you are here in the middle of the night?"

Even though Lou appeared so carefree, but he was very cautious to provoke this alpha, he had a very strong domineering aura and his killing intention could make one shivered in fear.

Cane didn't answer that, neither he gave any response, aside from staring dagger at Lou, which made him felt awry under such intense gaze, but then the alpha shifted his attention toward Iris and found she grimaced in pain. He released his grip on her waist, but he took her hand and walked away from there without saying anything to Lou.

Yet, the merchant was simply looking for trouble when he shouted at him, since he didn't want to be left high and dry.

"Alpha, it seems the luna is fine now. Tomorrow, you will bring her also, right?" Lou asked in high spirit, hiding his displeasure because Cane took away Iris before he could get the answer from her.

Cane stopped and turned his head to look at him again. "She is sick." That was the only answer that he gave him. He insisted with that excuse. If he said Iris was sick, then she was sick. No question asked.

Hearing that, the corner of Lou's lips twitched. How could he lie so blatantly and without any shame at all?

But then, Cane added. His voice was icy, as if it was a warning. "I have told you don't touch what is mine."

That was the same statement that he gave Lou in the new year dinner and the merchant also gave the same answer.

"How territorial, typical of shifter." His lips tugged into a grin.

But Cane didn't want to waste his words with him and walked away with Iris close to him. The merchant made his blood boiled.

On the other hand, Iris was so terrified to see Cane, because he was exceptionally scary right now and his silent resonated well with the word danger.

She kept her head low, as she tried to match with his long stride. This time, Cane didn't slow down his step to accommodate her, thus Iris needed to half run so she could catch up with him.

"Alpha…" Iris tried to speak, but she felt Cane squeezed her hand, which rendered her to swallow back the word that she wanted to say. She wanted to explain that she didn't intentionally look for Lou, neither she knew that the merchant would be there.

It was a bad judgment in her part that she didn't leave sooner, but she swore that she didn't mean to stay with him.

Cane slammed the door harshly when they were already inside their chamber, but he didn't stop, as he tugged her toward the bathroom and rinse her hand under the running water. It was the same hand that Lou had grabbed earlier.

Iris was stunned by what Cane was doing, she looked at him in bewilderment, as he spoke viciously.

"You smell like him." The words sounded very vicious, laced with disdain, which made Iris flinched and lowered her head again. She fought back the urge to cry.

Not only Cane rubbed her hand a little bit harsh, but because she was afraid, confused and was at lost.

Once Cane was done, he brought her hand to his nose, smelled it and only satisfied when Lou's scent was no longer lingered around her wrist.

He stretched out his hand and put his finger under her chin to lift her head up, so she could see what he was going to say.

"I have told you to not meet him and talk to him!" Cane literally growled at her.

"I didn't… I didn't intend to meet him…" Iris stumbled with her words when she tried to explain the situation, which Cane knew since he was there too.
