Chapter 123: HE HAD THE URGE TO TOUCH IT

"Wake up! Alpha!" Will was knocking on the door for a while now, but Cane did not even make any movement from the inside, which made him anxious, because he knew the alpha was a light sleeper, there was no way he was sleeping through this commotion that he created. "Alpha! If you don’t answer, I will tear down the door!"

It was not every day sight to find Will so worked up like this, but judging from the current situation, he was assuming the worst.

However, thankfully, before Will could burst the door with his shoulder, it was opened from inside and he went through, almost bumping into one of the pillars of the bed. He blinked his eyes and looked at Cane, who was standing at the door frame. His expression was indiscernible.

"Alpha, I have been knocking at the door for a while now, but you didn’t answer, so I thought something has happened to you."

"I was sleeping," Cane said simply.

Will didn’t believe that, since when did he sleep until he was ignorant of his own surroundings, but then from the corner of his eyes, he saw red color. Iris was still sleeping and only then did he get it. He forgot that last night the alpha had told him to call Iris over.

Even so, it still didn’t make any sense why he could have overslept. "You have an appointment to buy the water magic stone," he reminded him.

"Yes, I remember," Cane said languidly, as he waved his hand, gesturing for Will to go out.

After that, Will didn’t say anything anymore, even though he felt it was weird for him to oversleep. His acute insomnia was not a secret. He could stay up for three days and three nights straight and even if he tried to sleep after that, it wouldn’t last more than a few hours.

Amee and Grace were so worried about this and tried to concoct him some sleeping pills, unfortunately nothing worked, but he overslept this morning? It was inconceivable.

However, the same thought plagued Cane’s mind right now. He stared at Iris, who was still sleeping, curling her body, while the little lizard nestled on her pillow.

Her scent lingered in this room and this eased his headache a lot. He almost didn’t feel it anymore now.

Cane spent a good few seconds staring at her and then walked closer, as he shook her shoulder, but she swatted his hand away and curled her body even more, until her knees touched her forehead.

"Wake up," Cane said, as he shook her shoulder again.

Iris mumbled something and swatted his hand away again and this time, she pulled the blanket over her head to cover her face. "Too... bright."

Cane knitted his brows, he looked at the curtains and walked across the room to draw them apart, so there would be more light illuminating the room before he approached Iris and mercilessly pulled away the blanket that she was using to shield her eyes from the light.

"Ugh!" Iris grumbled pitifully when the light almost blinded her eyes. "No, Hanna, I want to sleep..." She stretched her hand for the blanket, but couldn’t find it, thus she used the pillow to cover her face, which made the lizard fall off the bed.

But, Cane took away the pillow as well, forcing Iris to open her eyes.

"Hanna!" Iris was being grumpy, she felt her whole body was in pain and she needed more sleep. Her butt was still in pain as well, but then she sobered up at the sight of Cane.

She looked around, as if looking for Hanna, but then she remembered that Hanna wasn’t here. She was traveling with Cane and the others.

"A- Alpha..." Iris stuttered, as if feeling her distress, the lizard jumped onto her shoulder. Iris rubbed her face and tried to neaten her hair. She knew exactly how she looked in the mornings with her curls making her head look as big as a troll. She would look like a lion with mane.

On the other hand, Cane didn’t make any comment on her looks, but he spoke languidly. "Come down in fifteen minutes." His eyes flickered to her auburn hair. The sunlight shone brightly, making her look like she was on fire. He had this sudden urge to run his fingers through her curls, but he walked out of the room instead.

Fifteen minutes?!

Iris immediately got off the bed and rushed to the room next to this, as she washed her face and tried to untangle her hair. She couldn’t brush her hair, thus she could only braid it and be done with it as soon as possible.

Once she was done, she put her lizard into a small pouch. Ethan bought it for her last night, so this little thing wouldn’t catch anyone’s attention. Along with the small pouch, he also gave her the book that she asked Redmond to buy for her, since he didn’t have money for that.

The gamma was so nice and she liked him.

Iris walked down the stairs and looked around the restaurant on the first floor for Cane. It was not difficult to find him, he was sitting with Will and Ethan, while Redmond was nowhere to be seen.

Despite being surrounded by other people and how he dressed casually, he still gave off a domineering aura and aloofness.

Iris walked closer to them and sat next to Ethan, who greeted her with a bright smile, as if what happened yesterday in that small room had never happened.

"We will leave once you finish eating," Cane said, as he pushed two sandwiches in front of her. It was still too early to go to the black market.

Iris took a sandwich and munched on it quietly, after she was done, Cane stood up, ready to leave, but Ethan and Will stayed behind.

More so, Redmond had not yet come down.

"Are you not coming? Redmond is still not here," Iris said, puzzled.

"No, you will go with Cane, alone," Ethan replied to her question.
