185: DID HE DIE?!

DID HE DIE?!

Iris couldn't even sleep a wink, while the lycan would take his time to sleep or fight off the monsters that came closer to this cave. He would wake up immediately when he sensed any intruders and fight them off.

However, when Iris was deep in thought as to what she could do about this lycan, she caught sight of a flash of red in the dark corner, which moved closer to her and it surprised Iris because she knew what it was exactly.

It was the little lizard!

"How can you find me here?" Iris whispered, as she stretched out her hand to grab her little creature. Thankfully, the lycan didn't wake up, probably because he didn't sense any danger from it.

Iris was amazed to see her little pet finding its way to her. If this creature was this clever, could it do something else?

"Can you…?" She muttered to herself. She felt a little bit crazy and overbroad to think that this little lizard could do the task. It wouldn't understand what she was talking about, after all…

Somehow, Iris felt dejected at her own idea. She was too happy to see it, yet she knew it couldn't change her current situation.

But, as she mulled over the possibility, the lycan suddenly rose to his feet and dashed out of the cave. Iris assumed there was a monster or two that came closer to the cave which woke the beast up. She was no longer worried about the lycan, because she knew he would return unscathed.

However, the one that returned was not the lycan, but a grey beast, which stalked toward her and shifted into its human form.

"Redmond?" Iris widened her eyes, as she stood up abruptly to see the warrior.

This warrior used to annoy her with his poor choice of words, but this was the first time for Iris to feel so glad to see him.

"Are you okay?" Redmond approached Iris and gave her a quick once over to check whether she was injured somewhere.

"No, I am fine, but how…"

"No time. Let's go!" Redmond cut her off and took her hand to go out of this cave. Knowing how strong the lycan was, he knew he would be finished within a few minutes and their deaths would go to waste if he failed to take Iris out of here before he really lost his life.

The little lizard perched on her shoulder, as Iris rushed out of the cave with Redmond, only then she saw how many monsters that the lycan had killed during the time she was inside the cave!

Their carcasses created a few mounds around the entrance of the cave!

"Damn this cursed beast!" Redmond glanced at Iris, he wondered, since when she knew about the Alpha's secret. After all, she didn't seem as scared as he imagined she would be.

Redmond thought she would have cried, bawling her eyes out and would be unable to move, but aside from looking so worn out, she was completely fine.

Right now, the lycan was fighting around ten werewolves, while four had already died miserably and among the ten, Iris caught sight of a brick-colored wolf, which was none other than the Beta.

"No, they can't fight him, they will die!" Iris cried out in alarm. Cane would go feral if he killed his own beta. Even though Cane would never say it, she knew how much he cherished his people and Jace was one of those few people that was close to him.

"What do you think you are doing?! Don't go there! He will kill you in no time!" Redmond tightened his grip on her wrist, but Iris shot him a dagger look and this surprised him. This runt could look so ferocious at times…

"If he wanted to kill me, he would have done it already!" Iris caught a glint of dagger on Redmond's hip, she knew it must be a silver dagger. She saw him buy it on their journey to the Moon Dew pack.

Actually, that made sense, but jumping in the middle of a beast fight was not a wise idea, yet Iris seemed to have another way to stop them.

She freed her hand from Redmond's grip when he was still in shock and then went closer to the fighting ground before she stopped and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"BACK OFF!"

The sound surprised them, as they stopped abruptly, but the lycan immediately dashed toward Iris and knocked Redmond aside, as he tried to pull her back.

The lycan wrapped his arm around her hips and was about to take her back into the cave, but Iris turned her body around and without a second thought, she plunged the dagger in her hand into the lycan's shoulder.

The cursed creature roared in anger and tossed Iris' body to the ground, the impact was so great, she felt her left arm being dislocated and this made her suck in a cold breath.

Iris shook her head to get rid of the tears that blurred her vision and watched how the lycan swatted all the werewolves that came closer to him in order to protect Iris.

Redmond was standing in front of Iris in his beast form when the lycan's sharp claws found purchase into his body. They pierced through his stomach to his back, leaving the wolf unable to move.

Blood sprayed in the air when the lycan retracted his claws viciously and left the grey wolf limping on the ground, before it collapsed where it stood, in a pool of his own blood.1

Iris screamed when she watched Redmond's body in his beast form twitch and he didn't move again. Did he die?!

Right now, there was no one standing between her and the lycan and she could see the wound on his shoulder had not yet closed. Even a lycan couldn't heal so fast when he was wounded by silver…

Iris watched the lycan come closer to her, he was furious about what she had done, but her focus was on the wound on his shoulder.
