Chapter 297: CALL HIM BY HIS NAME

Hanna sympathized with her missy, because just by imagining it alone, she could feel how embarrassing it was. She could understand why Iris felt so dreadful.

They were living in a society, where a proper woman shouldn’t air her ugly side, they should always be impeccable and graceful, especially women with status, in front of their mates. Because of the fact that men could have as many mistresses and women as they wanted and it was not something to be frowned upon, their women should always be conscious of their appearance and how they took care of themselves.

Therefore, what Iris had done in front of Cane could be counted as very disgusting and unacceptable.

"Don’t worry, Miss. From what I see, the Alpha didn’t say anything about it. He even stayed with you and never left your side during those two days." Hanna immediately comforted Iris before she felt even worse. "He didn’t leave this room at all and kept holding you in his arms."

Iris wiped her tears, her curls stuck to her face and Hanna tucked her hair behind her ears. "He didn’t leave the room?" Iris frowned. Wasn’t he busy and had a lot of things to take care of?

"Yes. The Alpha kept cradling you in his arms, as you slept on his lap."

Iris remembered when she woke up the first time and found herself lying on Cane’s lap. There was no way he kept holding her like that for two days straight, right?

Hanna then added. "Every time I entered the room, the Alpha would be in the same position. He even took over my job of swiping your body."

"And you let him?!" Iris shrieked, her face bright red. Even though that was not the first time he helped her like that, he didn’t need to, because right now Hanna was there to do it. Why would he take the pain to thoroughly take care of her?

"It’s not like I can refuse him, right?" Hanna was right. There was no way she could go against the Alpha’s words. "Miss..." Hanna nudged her missy.

Iris lifted her head and looked at Hanna, who was staring at her mischievously. "Hm?" What now?

"I think the Alpha genuinely cares for you. I think he fell for you," Hanna giggled when she said that, her smile became even wider when she imagined it.

"Don’t talk nonsense. Of course, he cares, I am his mate."

Hanna pursed her lips. "Many men couldn’t care less about their mates, as long as they are available when they need them, it is enough for them, but the Alpha is so different. He is so cold, but he cares for you through his actions."

Iris couldn’t agree with her, knowing Cane always did something with precise calculation, she would always question his motives, since he wouldn’t do something that would waste his time. More so, Iris knew Cane needed her. It would be enough reason for him to treat her well, right?

So did Iris. She needed Cane to survive. In the end, they needed each other, as it benefited the two of them in the long run.

Despite what Iris said to herself, she still felt bitter to question Cane’s sincerity. She felt she became greedy now for wanting more after he treated her a little decently.

"He even stood up for you when that snake woman, Nala, disrespected you."

"Because I am his mate, if someone disrespects me, they are looking down on him too, that’s why he did what he did to Nala." That was why Cane told her to stand up for herself more, because she also carried the title of the Luna, as his mate.

Hanna was about to retort that, but suddenly the door was opened and the Alpha walked into the room, holding a tray full of breakfast.

"Oh, I am sorry, Alpha. I should have prepared this for both of you," Hanna said, as she immediately stood up. She should have come with Iris’ breakfast, instead, she rushed in here first to see her missy, which forced the Alpha to get his own breakfast.

"You can leave," Cane said curtly to Hanna, without even looking at her. He sat down next to Iris and put the tray on the bed. There was a lot of food there and the smell was so appetizing.

Hearing that, Hanna happily left, but before she walked out, she took the opportunity of the fact that the Alpha wasn’t paying her any attention to wink at Iris. She glanced at the breakfast Cane brought and smiled meaningfully at her missy, as if she wanted to say what the Alpha did now highlighted the point she had told her before. He cared for her through his actions.

"Come, eat this." Cane lifted a spoonful of creamy soup to her mouth and helped her eat slowly. He was very attentive, as he alternately gave her different foods, so she could taste all of them.

On the other hand, Iris was famished. She had not eaten anything for two days and she only realized how hungry she was when she tasted the food.

"I am full," Iris murmured.

In the end, she couldn’t finish all of them, because Cane brought too much food and it would upset her stomach if she ate too much after not eating anything for two days.

Cane didn’t insist, as he put away the tray and walked toward the door, apparently, someone had been knocking and when the Alpha opened it, this person gave him something.

It was a simple white dress that was folded neatly.

"You need to change, we will go back to the palace now." Cane had postponed a lot of important things and the King had been very agitated because he kept pushing the matter regarding the lycan with an excuse he couldn’t leave his mate alone. He didn’t lie this time when he said Iris was sick, though.

Moreover, he refused to talk to Nala no matter how hard she tried, as he instructed not to bother him when he was inside the room to tend to his mate, rendering Nala unable to come close to him because he had locked himself inside the bedroom with Iris.

From the information Cane got from Prince Kellan, a witch accompanied Nala when she came to the orphanage and both of them had this tacit understanding that Nala didn’t have a good intention to come here, after all she had nothing to do with the whole matter of the orphan children and the construction of the new building. The fact she was ordered by the King to follow them here alone was worthy of suspicion.

"I will change my dress, can you leave please?" Iris asked sheepishly when Cane approached her with the clean dress.

"I will close my eyes, you can change." Cane walked toward the sofa and sat down there, as he closed his eyes. He had not gotten any sleep for two days and after seeing Iris was fine, he could finally rest.

"Alpha?" Iris called him, as she got off the bed and started to undress herself, she felt a little bit energetic now after eating something.

"You can call me by my name," Cane said with his eyes still closed.
