309: AN EARHT- SHATTERING SCREAM

AN EARHT- SHATTERING SCREAM

Cane gave Aria a quick and an easy death, because in a way she didn't mean to harm the other people intentionally, it was her poor judgment and how blinded she was by her own desire that caused her own demised.1

But, Cane kept Mason alive, so did a few nasty people from the Blue Moon pack, as they begged to be killed, instead to live their life.

Cane was someone, who thought death was too easy for people to pay for their crime, they needed to live and beg for death instead.

Death was only one way and a quick torture before it ended completely, but life… Cane could think a thousand way how to make them dreaded for every breath they took.

If there was one thing that he learned from his slavery it was; death was an escape way for them to leave the misery behind.

Therefore, how could he let his enemy to escape?

"I agree with you," prince Kellan said, nodded in satisfaction. "I am glad you stand by me like your father did. Your father will be proud of you."

Cane nodded. "I hope he is proud of me."

"If there is anything you need, just tell me. I will help you with everything, as long as I can."

"I heard the rumor about my father will put your as his righthand men and it seems with you attending the meeting earlier, it will show to the people how true the rumor is."

"It's too early to draw a conclusion." And when Cane saw prince Kellan was about to extend the conversation, he politely resigned himself. "I need to see my mate, she is still sick. I will take my leave."

It was already a great feat for Cane to be able to hold back his emotion and press down his killing intent before prince Kellan. It helped with the fact they didn't meet for a few days after Iris's last breakdown and left the orphanage, because it gave Cane some time to organize his thought.

He was reckless with the matter with Will and princess Osana, as he hastened his plan out of impulse, thankfully, there was no hiccup with the plan.

However, he couldn't do that with prince Kellan, especially when he had the citizen behind his back. He was a useful piece on his chess board. This was not the right time to get rid of him.

Cane couldn't get his emotions got the better of him, especially in this critical situation, when he was on the right track of his game. One wrong move and it would ruin everything.

"Oh, right. I hope for her speedy recovery." Prince Kellan's eyes looked sad and all Cane thought was how to gouge his eyes out of his socket. "I have sent herbs for her, I think it has delivered to your bedroom."

Cane simply thanked him curtly and then left.

Fortunately, he used to act this way, thus it didn't raise any suspicion from prince Kellan, more so, the prince had seen with his own eyes how Cane had stayed for a whole to days and nights when Iris's allergy was flared up.

Therefore, the way Cane acted right now was not unusual.

"Ah, that girl… she used to be a sweet and docile little girl…" prince Kellan lamented when Cane had walked away from there and gestured for his personal warrior to push the wheelchair away.

It was lunch time and the weather slightly warm, as the snow started to melt, the indication of the winter would pass soon.

Many people had put away their thick cloak and wore something more simple, but for Iris, she was still sleeping with thick blanket covered her body and fire on the fireplace.

The room was always very warm, thus when Cane stepped in, he took off his cloak and only wore his tunic, as he approached the bed.

Hanna was sitting next to Iris, holding her hand with her swollen eyes.

"You can leave," Cane said and his eyes fell on a green pouch at the table. "Is that from prince Kellan?"

Hanna stood up and nodded. She gave her place for the alpha. "The little girl from prince Kellan's palace came by and gave the herb for miss Iris."

Cane said nothing, as he took the pouch and tossed it to the fire. "Next time, throw everything that came from him. Understood?"

Hanna nodded hastily, she could feel the enmity exuded from his body. It was so scary. "Yes, alpha." She immediately walked out of the bed, but before that, she glanced through her shoulder to see how Cane checked on Iris.

For some reason, the alpha became very hostile toward prince Kellan, though he didn't show it whenever the prince around, but she assumed, the reason why the alpha was enraged the other day had something to do with the prince.

Hanna didn't know what the problem was, but she was glad the alpha was not angry at her missy. She watched how Cane held Iris for hours when she had a breakdown when they were still in the orphanage. He was very gentle and caring with her and this made Hanna felt so relief. The way he looked at her could convince you that he wouldn't hurt a single strand of her hair intentionally.

Hanna then walked out of the bedroom, leaving the two of them alone.

Once Hanna left, Cane held Iris's hand and brought it to his forehead, as he held it firmly and closed his eyes firmly.

It had been so long since his last pray, but if he could ask for one thing, he wanted her no longer in misery.

It took another four days later when Iris was finally awake and she found herself alone in the bedroom, while Cane was right outside, behind the door, as he talked with Ethan about something.

It was dark outside, but with the luminous pearl around the room, it helped to chase away the darkness.

Iris felt her head ached so badly, as she tried to sit down when a wave of emotions hit her so hard when the memories flooded back to her mind.

It almost felt like the dam had been broken and it drown her, suffocated her, as flashes of memories came to the surface.

The exact memories she had blocked for years. Iris thought she was no longer had it and yet, there they were, creeping back to her reality all at once.

She remembered how he helped her to undress herself and said; we are playing a new game now. Don't tell anyone. This will be our secret.

She remembered how he also took off his clothes and pants, smiling gently at her, as her younger self looked at him with confusion and was afraid to see his naked body.

That was the first time for Iris to see a man was being naked in front of her and she was so afraid.

'Come here, touch me here. I know you are curious, right?'

Iris let out an earth- shattering scream, as she hit her head with her fist, trying to get the image out of her head.
