384: IRIS UNDERSTOOD HIM A LITTLE MORE

IRIS UNDERSTOOD HIM A LITTLE MORE

The famine in the five packs were pretty bad, people in this pack had to lose their family member due to lack of food during winter and now when the ground was warm enough, they could finally bury them. Even so, the problem with the food had not yet been solved.  1

Their only hoped was to start hunting in the Goffa mountain, taking the risk to meet the monster and killed by the creature. Their options were so limited. 

Therefore, when they saw carriages full of food, their eyes lit up and even though Iris couldn't hear what they whispered to one another, she could see their eyes filled with hope and their desired to have their hand on nice food, feeding their children and old member of their family. 

"If you want to get food, make two lines here! We will distribute the food evenly, you are not allowed to take food twice!" Oliver said in loud voice to the crowd. 

At first, there was none of them walked forward to get the food, as they still looked confused and scared, since something like this had never happened before. What kind of food they distributed? Was it poisoned? Rotten food? They looked skeptical, but at the same time curios and excited to fill their stomach. 

Iris looked so nervous because there was no one coming to approach them, she glanced at Cane, who looked emotionless as ever. He didn't seem to bother with this current situation, as he knew they eventually would come around. 

But Iris took the initiative to approach a pregnant woman with her two children, around the age of seven and ten. 

"Come here, hurry, or you will need to stand in line for long time if everyone comes to take their food." Iris didn't even bother when she took her hand gently and she flinched because she looked so beautiful and clean with her rosy cheeks and brilliant eyes, while she was the opposite. 

"I am dirty, my lady, you shouldn't…"

Yet, Iris was smiling at her, as she tugged her to come with her toward the line Oliver had mentioned before. 

"Where is the food?" Iris asked one of the Howling Wolf packs, who was still stunned to see what Iris was doing. This woman and her children looked so dirty, as if they had not been taking a bath for weeks. Their smell also unpleasant, but the luna couldn't care less about that detail. 

"Ah, right… here." The warrior handed three bundles to the pregnant women.

The woman looked shocked, she didn't believe it and gave the other two bundles to her children, while she opened the one in her hands, the bundle consisted with bread, milk, meat and grains, it would last her for three to four days. 

It was a simple, a basic meal that someone like Iris and Cane could find easily, but for people like this woman, it was heavenly. 

The woman couldn't help and tear up to see it, as she thanked Iris and all of them profusely. "If I can kneel down, I will kiss your feet, my lady, thank you so much!" She said between her sobs and her little daughter was crying to see her mother cried, she was afraid. 

"Don't thank me, this is all because of alpha Cane's kindness. He is the one, who ordered to distribute the food," Iris said, she wouldn't take the credit for something she didn't do, as she put good words for Cane. 

Though, Cane had never mentioned he was the initiator, but who else, if it was not him? All of this wouldn't happen without his permission. 

More so, with this, Iris could see a little bit better about what Cane was doing. 

The alpha aimed for the throne, but he didn't start with the king, instead, he started with the people and now, he had the southern packs in his palms. He moved the people to his side not by force and threat, but by the way he treated them like the way they deserved. 

Iris felt a wave of emotion when she stared at Cane, who was talking to his beta, while the other people started to come forward, after they saw what the pregnant woman got from them, making two lines like how Oliver had instructed them. 

"Follow the line! There is enough food for everyone!" Oliver shouted, as he moved his men to make sure these people didn't cause trouble. 

There was a little bit commotion when words spread throughout the area and more people came to get food, or there were a few people came twice to get more, but aside from that, everything went well. 

Meanwhile, Sir Elijah was dumbstruck, so did all the border warriors and the warriors of the Riverside, who were on the back of the carriage, they looked at each other, frowning with what was happening. 

What Cane did was unheard of for them. Not to mention to get food for free, they would be beaten up to death if they were caught stealing the food, even though they worked for alpha Gill. 

"Tired?" Cane approached Iris when it was time for lunch, as the warm sun had risen up above their head. He came over to his mate after he talked about a few things with Sir Elijah. 

"No." Iris was tired, since she had been standing for hours, but she was so happy to see those people's smiles when they received the food, it healed her bitterness and made her heart felt lighter, she liked this feeling and every time they thanked her, she wouldn't forget to remind them to thank alpha Cane instead. 

Even though, none of them dare to approach Cane, since he gave off cold aura and he was in the middle of serious conversation with Sir Elijah, but they saw the alpha in different light. Of course, they were extremely grateful. 

"Let someone else do it, you need to eat, there is something I want to talk about with you." Cane put his arm around her waist protectively in front of everyone there.
