Chapter 439: HELP ME

Iris was surprised when she felt Cane’s cold lips against hers and she struggled to push him away, yet he was as sturdy as a rock. There was no amount of strength that Iris could muster to move him, as his tongue licked her bottom lip lazily.

Iris felt her heart start beating so fast when Cane caressed her cheek, down to her neck to her collarbone. She shuddered when his fingers brushed her breasts down to her waist and fisted the fabric of her dress, skimming it up her legs. Every inch of her skin sizzled at his touch and an empty ache formed low in her stomach when his fingers made contact with her bare skin.

Iris gritted her teeth to hold back a whimper, she felt like she was cheating on Cane by letting him touch her intimately like this, but then, it was Cane.

His palm was rough, but his body temperature felt so wrong against her skin, as he was so cold, it made her shiver.

She felt guilty, but at the same time, she didn’t want him to stop, which made her feel even guiltier. The empty ache between her legs pulsed and probably he knew how aroused she was, as he growled against her lips. He must have known how disturbed his mate was.

When Iris slightly parted her lips, he used this chance to kiss her harder. The kiss was not as considerate as she felt before, it was so different, his kiss was demanding and this made her open her eyes and see Cane’s face.

Iris was conflicted, it was the man she wanted, but at the same time, it was not him. How could she explain herself to Cane? Did he even realize what was happening? Just like how Lu could read Cane’s mind if he wanted, could Cane do the same?

When Iris was still not sure whether to give in to her own desire, as she had never wanted someone to touch her as badly as Cane did, he trailed his mouth down her neck, which made Iris arch her back off of the bed.

The opposite of his demanding kiss, he moved very slow and considerate enough to let her adjust to his touch.

"My sweet moon," he whispered against her skin, as he pulled down the front of her dress and sucked on her breast, while his fingers slid beneath her undergarments, brushing her clit and teasing her entrance.

"Ah!" Iris fisted the sheets and dug her heels into the bed.

It was strange, but she grew hotter and her breathing turned ragged.

This was wrong, wasn’t it? She couldn’t let this happen, since it was not Cane, so it was wrong, right?

"Damn it! Damn it!" He cussed under his breath, as he kissed her lips again, sucking on her tongue and driving two fingers inside her, which made Iris groan, as he moved them in and out slowly and with every movement, he would push further inside of her.

The feeling was so intense and when Iris realized it, it was too late for her to go back or even stop what they were doing. This intense feeling tipped her over the edge and she shook beneath him as his fingers fucked her agonizingly slow.

He stopped the movement at the same time he stopped kissing her, which made Iris open her eyes and register his hooded gaze on her, mesmerized by the sight of his mate and the frustration that he caused, but then Iris saw someone standing in the doorway of the adjoining door to the Luna’s bedroom.

It was Sofia, she was standing there, watching them with a mortified look on her face and this made Iris do something that would embarrass her if she had a sober mind, as she guided Cane’s fingers to her opening and started to move her hips.

"Cane..." Iris called his name softly, but her voice dripped with frustration, since he stopped right before she could find her release, he intentionally bothered her this way, as she could see a small smile tug up the corners of his lips.

That was how Cane would smile and it filled Iris with desperation, she wanted him desperately.

"Cane, please, come back to me..." a tear rolled down her eyes when she could feel his fingers working on her opening again. At this point, Iris didn’t care whether Sofia was watching them or not, she hoped, tomorrow she would remember to ask someone to block the door.

It didn’t take long before her whole body shook beneath him and he swallowed every whimper from her mouth, as pleasure washed over her.

Iris had never felt this way before, there was no pain, only pleasure and once she was sated, exhaustion came to her, while he peppered small kisses on her cheeks and forehead.

And lastly, he kissed the tip of her nose, while saying something in the most gentle voice. "Sleep Iris, you need to rest."

Iris could feel his steady heartbeat and warmth against her as she drifted to sleep.

==========================

Will stared at the puddle of blood on the floor, which dripped from the incision he made on his wrist that started to heal again, while the necklace that Hanna returned to him sat pitifully on the table in front of him.

There was no emotion whatsoever on his face, while he made another incision again with the dagger on his hand. He did this a couple of times and only the silence in this room became a witness to what he was doing to himself.

This time, the incision was deeper than before and a lot of blood oozed out from the deep wound on his wrist, but it was not enough, the pain was not enough to numb his already numbed feelings.

At this point, even the pain that he inflicted on himself was inferior to the pain he felt in his heart.

He should have gotten rid of this misery, since what Princess Osana had done to him was something that he was not unfamiliar with. She was right, he had done it countless times before and it shouldn’t have bothered him as much.

However, he had tasted the sweetness of hope.

When they got free from the slavery and got back the control of their pack back, that was a moment of hope, his heart filled with light and when Hanna accepted him and his flaws, forgave him for his mistakes, he knew he could start his life anew.

The torch of hope in his heart burned brightly, it blinded his eyes with happiness, until everything fell apart and his world crumbled at his feet once again when he had to return to the same hell he had been to before.

But this time, there was no hope anymore.

No. Will didn’t want to let himself have any hope, because it would only make one fall even harder. He wanted to end this misery. He didn’t want to get hurt or feel this numb anymore, but then, he knew if he did something recklessly, he would hurt her, though he already did.

He was stuck between the feeling of wanting to drive the dagger straight into his heart and end everything, and to hold on a little bit longer.

Yet, staring at the necklace, he knew the second option wouldn’t hurt her as much as the way he treated her right now.

However, from the distance loud footsteps could be heard and the door slammed open with so much force, until it made a pitiful sound.

"Will! What are you do... fuck! FUCK!" Ethan cursed so loudly when he saw what happened to Will, there was a lot of blood on the floor. This room was filled with the metallic scent of it.

For a moment, Ethan was too dumbstruck to even react. He didn’t even breathe, as his mind worked so hard to digest the scene before his eyes.

He came here to advise Will not to wallow in sadness, since Hanna would be fine in the morning and also reprimand him to skip the urgent meeting, since the King would arrive in less than four hours now.

But, he didn’t expect to see this horrendous sight.

Ethan knew Will had been acting so strangely lately, but because he didn’t say much and he was clueless about what was happening, he thought Will just needed some time alone.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Ethan immediately approached Will and inspected his wound. "Fuck, Will! What happened to you? Are you feeling guilty because you killed that girl!?" Ethan knew it sounded absurd for Will to hurt himself for causing Jemma’s death, but he completely and utterly didn’t have any idea what was going on in his mind. "What the fuck are you thinking?! No one blamed you for that! That girl was an outsider!"

However, Will didn’t respond to Ethan’s strong reaction, he simply whispered desperately. "Help me..."

============================

Lyle approached the drunk Redmond and stared at him with a frown. "Why are you spending most of your time here? I thought you have become the dog of the Alpha," he snickered.

He still despised the fact Redmond pledged his loyalty to Iris, but he would flip if he pledged his loyalty to Cane.

"Shut up," Redmond growled at him, as he threw him a dagger look, warning him to stay away from him.

"Seriously, you look so awful. Why? Can’t find a slut in the capital city?" Lyle knew Redmond was frustrated since there was no brothel in this Howling Wolf pack, so did the rest of the former warriors of the Blue Moon pack.

"Fuck! I got one pregnant!"
