376: TALK TO ME

TALK TO ME

Cane was floored, this was the first time for Iris to blatantly ignore him. She looked very angry and tried to suppress her feeling, which he understood why, she misdirected her anger.  1

Iris was there and she understood what was going on and knew the fact that the baby absolutely not his. 

"Iris," Cane called her name, knowing she wouldn't be able to know it, as he squeezed and tugged her hands to get her attention. 

"Where do you want to go?" Jace asked, he knocked on the carriage door, as he sat down beside Jace, who looked like he just lost his soul. Fatherhood absolutely not in his plan in the near future and the beta couldn't get anything out of him. 

In his frustration, Jace really wished for Ethan to speed up, so he could get a full story about what was going on! This whole thing drove him crazy! The way Cane treated Iris and how she was right now and what the hell with a pregnant woman came to their door and claimed she was having Cane's baby, while in truth it was Redmond's?!

"Pack house," Cane said. 

Jace then took the reins, because Redmond was in no way taking them out anywhere. 

Meanwhile, inside the carriage, it was very quiet, just like their journey to the fortress, but it was not the same silence. The atmosphere felt heavier than before and Iris looked so angry, though she had her eyes closed. 

The alpha on the other hand, he didn't try to make her talked to him when she didn't want it, but somehow, he felt uncomfortable with this quiet Iris. He used to listen to what she was thinking and communicating her feeling, thus the silence sounded louder than her cry and scream. 

The whole two hours their journey back to the pack house, Iris pretended to be asleep, but there must be a point where she fell asleep for real, because her breathing became even and her expression softened slightly, though there was still furrow between her brows. 

Once the carriage stopped, Cane didn't immediately wake her up and order Jace to get him all the secret missiles he had to read, he also told them to report everything to him through the window of the carriage. Because of Iris's condition, thus it wouldn't be a problem for them to be a little bit noisy. It wouldn't disturb her sleep. 

From what Cane learned, the rumor had spread in the capital city in the way he wanted it and the Holy Kingdom had sent their letter to the king, informing him they were coming to deal with the problem with the black magic. 

The current Serafim would come as well along with her Holy Knights. It would take them a month to reach Ogregon Continent through the sea, which probably, they would be here in the end of spring. 

Everything went according to Cane's plan, though there was a little bit hiccup here and there, but overall, his chest pieces moved to the direction he intended them to be. 

Ethan and the people from the Red Claw pack, who marched to the Riverside pack, must have heard about the news and they would be here within three days, there was a little bit delay because of monster attack, thankfully, none of the warrior from the Howling Wolf pack was injured. 

For now, Cane only needed to wait for the right time to make his next move, but while waiting, he must to think of a way to deal with the pregnant woman in his pack, as his pack member thought she was carrying his child. 

Cane glanced at sleeping Iris and moved to sit down next to her, as he cradled her face and let her leaned against his chest, putting his hand on her shoulder, while he read another letter, it was from Lou, the merchant said he would be out of the capital city within this week and headed toward the Howling Wolf pack. 

Cane narrowed his eyes to read his cursive handwriting and felt irritated to see it. He tossed the letter aside, as he mindlessly drew circles on Iris's arm and moved onto another letter. 

When the sun almost set and Cane had almost done with all the report he received and order he gave to his people to deal with the aftermath of his bold move, Iris woke up, she rubbed her sleepy face and yawned. She looked sleepy and seemingly forgot that she was mad to Cane before she fell asleep, for whatever reason she had. 

"Hungry?" Cane asked when she looked around her and then to him. She frowned when she realized they were inside the carriage. 

All the braziers and torches had been lit up and the luminous pearls illuminated every dark corner of this building. 

Iris blinked her eyes, frowning and Cane could see how her mind started to get a grip of what was happening, as she started to remember about her anger. Iris glared at him and jumped out of the carriage, ignoring him. 

Cane couldn't understand why she was so angry, though she knew the truth. Hell, he had never touched that woman and absolutely the baby was not his!

"Iris!" Cane got off the carriage and held her hand, he pulled her back, so she could face him. He was not used with her silence. He had seen her being a chatter, her cry, her frustration and heard her screaming in agony, he used to hear what was in her mind, but he couldn't with her ignoring him. "What's wrong?"

Iris gritted her teeth, she didn't cry, but her eyes turned so red. She refused to speak. 

Meanwhile, Jace dragged Redmond away, so the two of them would be able to have a private time to talk about whatever problem they had right now, while the warrior frowned, but he let the beta to take him away. 

If it was Ethan, the gamma would definitely stay…

"Talk to me," Cane demanded.
