305: IRIS AND KELLAN

IRIS AND KELLAN

Cane expected the worse, but what he heard was even more horrendous, his eyes narrowed into a slit, as he stared into Iris's eyes dangerously. He put his finger under her chin and lifted her head so their eyes could meet. "What do you mean?"2

In Cane's mind, Iris received harassment, but physically, not sexually. He knew she was a virgin, because he was the one, who had deflowered her and there was no doubt about that, but what she meant by what she just said.

Seeing the anger in Cane's eyes iris was terrified, she backed track. "It's… it's just a dream… it's not really happened. I used to dream about random things, I even dreamed about an empty hall with five swords. It's just a dream."

Cane didn't budge, as he persisted with his question. "Why did you keep saying; don't tell anyone. What the thing you are not allowed not to tell anyone? Why were you naked?"

"I… it's…" Iris stumbled with her words. "There was a young man, standing in front of me… I was naked and he said… I can't tell anyone…" Iris clutched onto Cane's shirt without her knowing it, as if she was afraid the alpha would lash out at her, as she could see he was enraged.

"You were naked in front of a man?" Cane narrowed his eyes, which made her shuddered in fear.

"I was… I was little… in my dream I was a kid." As if by explaining that could make things better, instead, Cane even looked darker.

"You were naked in front of a man when you were a child and he told you to not tell anyone?" Cane summarized this grimly. This was the most disgusting thing he ever heard.

Outside, through the window, they could see the sun finally appeared in the horizon, casted away the darkness of the night, it would be a warm day, since it had stopped snowing, but inside the room, a storm was brewed.

"I am sorry… I am sorry…" Iris didn't know what to say and she was not sure why she was apologizing, this simply her first instinct to ask for apology when things went wrong. She felt this was her mistake and she was the one, who should be blamed, for whatever reason it might be.

Iris used to ask for forgiveness whenever Mason got angry at her and started to beat her up and for some reason, even though it didn't have any correlation with what happened right now with Cane, that was her first reaction to save the situation and appease the anger she saw in Cane's eyes.

"It's just a dream… I am sorry…" Iris didn't even understand what she was saying, she only said whatever came to her mind, as she was so scared to see how Cane got away from her.

Cane wouldn't think much about this if it was a random dream, but from the look of their situation right now, it was not as simple as that.

It almost felt like pieces of her memories tried to resurface because she was provoked.

Actually, this was Cane's plan to try to figure out what had gone wrong between Iris and prince Kellan, but he didn't expect this. He was not prepared for this, the image of what had happened alone disgusted him.

He should be glad his plan worked and Iris gradually remembered.

However, he didn't think he wanted her to remember all the detail of what happened to her. There must be a reason why she unconsciously blocked herself from that memory.

"Sleep again," Cane said through his gritted teeth, as he kissed her head briefly and got off the bed, he needed to be away from her for a while. He was in turmoil and he knew how scary he could be whenever he couldn't keep his calm.

The wind was still so cold in this early winter morning, but it was not enough to faze Cane's step when he approached Trion in the horse stable. He had sent two guards to stand in front of his bedroom.

"Prepare the carriage, we will return to the palace," Cane said to Trion.

The warrior was a little bit confused when he heard the order because Cane had been dodging the king's order to return to the palace with the reason Iris suddenly fell sick and he was needed in the city to calm down the people.

What happened with this sudden change?

"Yes, alpha." Despite his confusion, Trion didn't dare to voice any of it out.

"Where is Redmond and Hanna?"

This was even more confusing because not everyday the alpha would look for Hanna, unless he wanted to send the maid to his mate, especially Redmond.

"Hanna is helping in the kitchen and Redmond… he is still sleeping." Trion grimaced. The warrior was in a bad mood last night and drank himself to sleep.

Cane said nothing and walked away toward a small barack that was used for the warriors and guards to sleep. It was easy to find him, since his scent was one that annoyed Cane.

The barack was almost empty, but the other guards, who were still inside immediately walked out after they greeted him politely.

Once it was only Cane and the sleeping Redmond inside, the alpha was not polite when he woke him up. Cane raised his leg and kicked the makeshift bed, which made Redmond fell to the ground with a loud thump sound, as his body rolled to the other side of the barrack.

He squeaked angrily and immediately was about to lash out, yet he clamped his mouth when he saw the enraged alpha.

His dominant aura was so strong, he couldn't even utter a single word, as he was trying to process what was going on?

"What is it?" Redmond was still on the ground, feeling his head throbbed in pain, as the alpha towered above him. He could feel his killing intention.

Probably that was what those guards felt once the alpha stepped into the barrack, as they immediately rushed out.

"What did I do wrong again?" Redmond couldn't bring himself to see Cane in the eyes and this annoyed him, but his fear toward the alpha was way greater right now and he kept his head down.

He was not sure since when he dreaded this man. Didn't he use to see him was being enslaved by alpha Gerald and Mason? He used to watch the torment from afar, but right now, he wondered how could they tamed him back then with such terrifying aura like this, he could scare Mason shitless.

"Tell me everything about prince Kellan," Cane finally spoke.

He had looked for this matter in the wrong place. He asked his men to dig deeper about prince Kellan, but he should have asked the people around Iris first, as they were around her at the time they were still in the Blue Moon pack.

"What do you mean? You have asked Leros to look for any information about that prince, right?" Redmond misunderstood the question. He thought it was about information in the presence, not in the past.

"Tell me everything about Kellan and Iris when she was little."
