Chapter 591: IRIS’S LITTLE SECRET

It didn’t go unnoticed by Cane when Iris blushed, but he couldn’t figure out the reason behind it. Oftentimes, she would have a strange response to some things and at that moment, he simply couldn’t understand what was in her mind.

"I will wait here," Cane said, as he took a book and sat down on the chair near the door. He wasn’t really interested in the book, because the content could be so different from reality and now Iris was aware of that too, but still it was a habit of hers to read something because it gave her joy.

"O- okay." Iris stumbled over her words, as she immediately skipped to the further row of the bookshelves.

This place was not too big, there were only five rows of bookshelves here and the book collection must not be on par with the one they had back in the pack house, but Cane noticed there were a few old books here titles of which almost couldn’t be read anymore, the kind of books you shouldn’t put on sale.

Cane opened the book in his hand and realized it was about black magic. He was rather surprised to find such a book here. Just like he thought, the books here were not common.

Meanwhile, Iris went to the furthest row of the bookshelves with the middle aged woman, as she smiled at her the entire time.

"Is there a specific book you want to read?" The woman smiled suggestively, as if she could tell what kind of book Iris was thinking about, as she slid a furtive glance toward Cane, who was now engrossed in the book in his hands.

"Uhm..." Iris was a little bit hesitant, she licked her dry lips nervously and couldn’t help but turn so red, which made the woman chuckle. "I want... ’that’ book... Do you have ’that’ book?"

"I know, I know what kind of book you want." She winked at Iris and walked past her only to return with three books in her hands.

This woman had short hair, which she tied behind her nape. She was a bubbly person and Iris felt comfortable with her, even though this was their first time to meet with each other. She was not sure whether she was a shifter or a merchant, since Cane explained to her that this place was almost like a replica of the capital city, only on a smaller scale.

The reason why Ethan was so against this pack to be part of their territory and put it on the same list as Silver River pack must be because he didn’t like how lecherous this place was.

"I know you must be the luna of the Howling Wolf pack and that must be Alpha Cane." The woman grinned, as she handed the books to Iris.

Iris looked surprised this woman could tell so easily and she spoke so casually.

"Hiding your hair didn’t do the trick when he didn’t cover his scar." The woman pointed at her own face, indicating the scar on Cane’s face. "More so, who else will the woman the Alpha bring if it’s not his mate?"

She then proceeded to tell Iris how the women in this pack often gushed how lucky Iris was to have a man like Cane.

"He must be the only alpha, who has only one woman." She winked at Iris again, but then she changed her tone and her voice became a whisper. "But, there is a rumor that Alpha Cane has another mistress who is currently pregnant back in the Howling Wolf pack, is that true?"

Okay.

Iris was not as innocent as she thought, well being with Cane for so long at least taught her a thing or two, thus she could tell this woman was just trying to fish for juicy material to gossip about. She must not only provide books, but also gather stories to tell.

"I- I will take this book and some more..." Iris immediately cut off any chance for her to trick her to get more information that she didn’t need to know. "I will take more books, but can you hide these three first, so he will not know about them?" Iris whispered to her.

The woman chuckled, amused by the young woman in front of her. "Sure." Even though she didn’t get the gossip she wanted, she was graceful enough not to press the matter further. She even generously gave Iris some tips. "Luna, this is only advice, but you really need to consider being more active in bed."

Seeing Iris now, it was not hard to tell how she was the passive one in bed. After all, if you asked for tips and advice related to this matter, you could get a lot from the people in this pack, as they were very open about this topic.

Yet, Iris was not ready for this openness and felt a little bit uncomfortable.

"O- okay."

"Being too passive is not fun, don’t let your man get bored with you." The woman then leaned over again. "If you want, I can introduce you to my friend, she can give you some tips and tricks on how to satisfy a man."

Iris felt her face was so hot, she had never talked about this kind of thing with other people, nor did she get any advice on how to do it correctly.

"Everything is good here?" Cane’s voice came from Iris’ behind and she almost jumped out of her skin, thinking her mate heard their conversation.

Abruptly, Iris turned around and faced him. Nodding her head vigorously. "Y- yes, yes! I am just asking about a certain book." Iris didn’t lie, she was indeed asking about a specific book.

"Have you gotten it?" Cane’s cold gaze was directed at the woman behind Iris, who was smiling sweetly at him.

"Yes, I have, but I want to look for more books, can I?" Iris felt her heart skip a bit when she tried to get herself out of this awkward situation. Well, it was awkward for her, but the other two didn’t think the same.

"Don’t take too long, it is already so late," Cane said.

"Don’t worry, my bookstore is open all day and night." The woman looked cheerful when she spoke, even when the alpha ignored her. "He is very protective, isn’t he? If only all the men can be like him..." she gushed openly after Cane left.

"I will look for other books," Iris said and then handed the three books to her again. "Please, don’t let him know I purchased them." Iris felt so embarrassed to ask this favor.

Chuckling, the woman nodded with this amused smile on the corners of her red lips. "Don’t worry, I will give you a discount if you want to see my friend." That was the friend who would help her by giving tips and tricks.

Iris didn’t answer that and immediately scurried away to find some ’normal’ books, so Cane wouldn’t get suspicious later.

"Cute," the woman muttered, chuckling.

After an hour had passed, Cane and Iris came out of the bookstore with two bags of books, while a carriage had been waiting for them outside.

A guard immediately took the bags from Cane’s hand, while the alpha helped his mate climb the carriage. It was already so late, but the festivity didn’t seem to die down any time soon, if anything it became even wilder, as women went half naked on the streets with drunk men hovering around them.

Cane didn’t like this pack, but it held so much benefit if you could look past it.

Iris felt tired, she got what she wanted and more. She bought Celia a few nice dresses and found a few pairs of clothes for Zale, Joel and Haco. Not to mention the books.

Now, snuggling in her mate’s arms, she closed her eyes, feeling satisfied. Her monthly cycle had almost ended and probably that was the reason why her mood got a little bit better.

"Sleep," Cane said softly when Iris yawned against his chest, it was way past her sleeping time and his mate didn’t sleep so late.

Iris adjusted her position to find a more comfortable spot against Cane’s chest and closed her eyes, as she tangled her legs with his, while Cane patted her head.

It didn’t take long before Iris fell asleep and her breathing became even.

However, once Iris had fallen asleep, Cane’s eyes fell on the two bags near him, which contained books that Iris bought.

He could sense there was something weird. There was this subtle exchange between Iris and that woman in the bookstore.

His instinct told him to check the books Iris had bought and that was what he did once they arrived at the pack house.

It came naturally for Cane to carry Iris to their bed whenever she fell asleep like this, while the other two guards carried the things they had bought in the town.

After Cane tucked Iris in, he went to check all the books, but there was nothing suspicious until he got to the last three books and he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. His expression turned stiff, he frowned and looked closely at the last three books, flipping the pages casually.

For a moment, Cane didn’t do anything, he just stayed there with the books in his hands and then put them back like before.

After discovering what the ’weird’ vibe he got earlier, he went to bed and cuddled his mate, who was very oblivious to the fact her little secret had been discovered.
