Chapter 582: IRIS WAS FURIOUS
Chapter 582: IRIS WAS FURIOUS
The beta and gamma of the Diandem pack greeted Iris and Cane. The two of them personally escorted the alpha and luna to their bedroom, but it was not Alpha Adrian’s bedroom, since Cane didn’t want to sleep in his bed, knowing what kind of things had happened on that bed.
This room was not too big, but not small either, it was comfortable enough for the two of them.
"I hope you enjoy your stay here, Alpha Cane." Argean, the gamma of the pack said. He looked solemn, it was hard to tell what he was thinking to have the exact person, who had killed his alpha, stay in the pack house.
Grory, the beta had the same expression as well. Neither of them showed much emotion, which did not allow them to lower their guard either.
"You must be tired, I will ask someone to prepare you meals and the bath." Grory nodded at Cane and Iris. Neither of them looked like they were harboring any grudges. But most of the time, you should not believe what you see, because looks could deceive you, especially in a situation like this.
"You can prepare that for the luna, we need to talk," Cane said, he didn’t waste his time anymore, since they had delayed their arrival for three days because of the last attack by the Silver Warriors.
Argean and Grory looked at each other and then nodded.
"Over here, please," Grory said respectfully, but Iris felt a little bit uncomfortable with the way they acted.
"Take a rest," Cane said to Iris, as he lowered his head to press a soft kiss on her forehead.
Seeing this scene, a weird glint crossed their eyes, which didn’t go unnoticed by Iris, since Cane had his back against them when he kissed his mate.
However, Iris couldn’t tell what was that and was not able to judge whether it was only her seeing things or it was really them staring at Cane’s affectionate gesture in a weird way.
"Okay," Iris replied.
She watched Cane walk out of the bedroom and soon after, Aliana entered her room. She would always be by her side whenever Cane was absent.
This must be one of the benefits only she could offer and no other warrior could, since she was a woman. That was why Cane accepted her as one of Iris’ personal warriors.
"Aliana, do you know where they put Zale?" Iris had promised to go look for him the moment she got the chance.
"I thought the alpha told you to take a rest?" Aliana gave her a mischievous look, because the luna was being a little bit bratty for originally agreeing to stay, but once the alpha left, she was about to do the opposite.
"I will rest..." Iris said timidly and then added. "...later."
Aliana laughed. She liked it when Iris did not always listen to the alpha and knew what she wanted to do.
"Okay, but who is this Zale?" She had never heard that name before, she was sure it was not one of the Howling Wolf pack warriors. Maybe it was a Bloody Wolf warrior, who came with them? But, how did Iris know them?
"The young boy, who followed us from the Silver River pack."
"Oh!" Aliana knew the boy, but not his name. "I don’t know where he is exactly, the other warriors must be taking care of him, but I can ask around."
"I will come with you."
Iris and Aliana walked out of the bedroom, where the seven warriors were waiting for them, Eron and Dyne greeted her happily as usual and the other five still had reservations with her. Iris couldn’t care less about that.
Aliana then ordered those very five warriors to find out where Zale was, while Iris wanted to see Haco and Joel first. The last time she met the young warrior, he was already able to stand up and this made her so happy.
Joel even knelt down in front of her to thank her, while Haco’s condition was getting worse. During most of Iris’ visits to learn magic from him, he would end up telling her stories about his life in the Holy Kingdom. It was nothing important, only trivial things like what he had done on a daily basis.
Sadly, because of that, her power didn’t improve and she only learned basic magic and theoretical knowledge.
"Joel, do you have any clothes to be spared?" Iris asked Joel when she checked on his condition and saw he was already able to walk a short distance. Her heart felt at ease to know she could be of help for people around her.
"Yes, I have a few clothes to be spared, why do you need them luna? If I might know." Joel was standing in front of Iris and then walked to get some of his clothes, even before Iris gave him the answer.
He didn’t need the answer though, anything the luna wanted, she could take it. He would give her everything if she asked.
Iris then told him about Zale and how those rug like clothes must be very uncomfortable, so she wanted to give him something to wear when she met him and because Joel was the youngest among the other warriors, his clothes must not be as big as them on Zale.
"Here, Luna," Joel said, he took out two pairs of clothes from his bag and these were the best clothes he had.
"Thank you, don’t worry, I will buy you new ones, if I have a chance to walk in the market," Iris said, feeling grateful.
"You don’t need to do that, Luna. You will only waste your time," Joel said, scratching his head and then sat down, as he started to feel uncomfortable from standing for too long. The healer had been reminding him over and over again not to overuse his legs, or else, all the effort would go down the drain.
"Don’t ever think that way..." Iris replied gently.
After that, Aliana got a word from Kian about where Zale was and they went there to see the little boy, only Iris heard something that she didn’t like. No, she didn’t hear it, she read their conversation from afar by reading their lips.
"The boy doesn’t speak at all and just plays with the silly bear, I think he is as dumb as that furball."
"Agree. I don’t think he will survive for another day in this condition. No one wants to share a room with him. Just in case the healer missed something, and he spreads his disease to us."
"I can’t understand why the alpha is taking him in, he should have sent him away."
"It must be because of the luna. The alpha is not usually soft hearted like this. But, because of the luna, he seemed to have become a little fickle."
"Yes. I am sure the reason why we stayed for more days in the Silver River pack is because the luna was throwing a temper tantrum."
"Someone like her shouldn’t be the luna."
"I still can’t believe the alpha took Gerald’s daughter as his mate."
"It’s because at that time, the king wanted the alpha to hand over the Blue Moon pack."
And the conversation went on about similar things. Now, Iris learned that these warrior’s dissatisfaction toward her had affected their way of viewing Cane. They started to question his orders because they thought Iris was influencing the alpha’s decision.
"I can’t understand why the alpha likes her when she can’t even carry his child and abandon the one who does."
They were talking about Sofia now.
"There is this rumor among the warriors that the luna is actually able to do magic. Can you believe that? She is a runt, a shifter, who couldn’t shift into her beast, but now she can do magic."
"Do you think she did something to the alpha with her magic?"
"I am not sure, but Oliver has mentioned about the luna being a magic user and she can see the spirits of the dead people. Oliver said she brought bad luck for the alpha and in extent to the pack also."
"What did Oliver mean by that?"
"I am not sure, he only said something so vaguely, but he looked so angry every time he talked about the luna and he believed she brought bad luck."
"Oh, have you forgotten what happened when she managed to save that weird young boy? People said, she saw the spirit of his little sister that had died during that time and that spirit was the one who guided her to find the spot where the boy was buried."
"Oh, right!"
"Don’t you think that was a sign of bad luck? I mean... being able to see dead people is not a common thing."
"Yeah..."
Iris read their lips, they were quite a distance away, but she was able to see their lips and she knew about their conversation. She couldn’t accept this. They had talked a lot of nonsense about her and now they were dragging Cane’s name through the mud as well.
"Luna, are you okay?" Eron asked, he came closer to Iris because she suddenly stopped walking and stared angrily at the two warriors in the distance.
Aliana swatted Eron’s shoulder and shook her head, which made Eron and Dyne frown at her.
"What are they talking about until the luna looks so angry?" Dyne asked in a low voice, but neither of the two knew as well, since they were out of their earshot.
Iris closed her eyes, she was used to suppressing her emotions and avoiding trouble, she didn’t want to make things difficult and if she could, she wanted to ignore their comments.
