Chapter 440

Chapter 440: I REALLY WANT TO KISS HER!

"Fuck! I got one pregnant!" Redmond cursed drunkenly. He spat a few incoherent words, while Lyle laughed at that.

Currently, they were at a cheap bar near the main gates of the pack, guarding the area, but the night was so boring and the festivities to welcome the King were not up to their standards, since this was not one of the welcoming parties they used to have.

"You are so unlucky!" Lyle taunted him as he sat down next to him and got a bottle for himself. "So, you are a father now?"

"Hm... in less than four months, three months? Ten months? Oh, I am so bad at this." Redmond shook his head, as he opened another bottle and drank the liquid straight from it. "Damn it! I don’t want a drooling creature!"

Lyle laughed again when he heard that. They had been friends since they were really young and if he could say, he was the most trusted person to Redmond, that was why he was his second in command.

"Where is that girl? Why don’t you bring her here? You may not like the baby, but if the momma is hot, you can pass her to us once she has given birth." The corners of Lyle’s lips tugged upward, as he suggested such an immoral thing.

For a moment, Redmond only blinked his eyes at him, but then the next thing happened so fast, as he grabbed a bottle of wine and slammed it so hard on Lyle’s head, which sent the man falling to the ground and this garnered the attention of the people around toward Redmond, waiting whether it would turn into a brawl?

"I would rather have her killed than watch you pass her around among you guys," Redmond slurred, he saw how Lyle shook his head, trying to get some clarity about what just happened, but definitely, he couldn’t, as he stood up and grabbed Redmond by his collar and lifted his body.

However, Redmond fought him back, as he swung a punch at his face and a fight broke out in the bar. Both of them swung continuous punches and cursed under their breaths.

Thankfully, Redmond didn’t shift into his beast, or else, Lyle wouldn’t have stood a chance, since he couldn’t shift into his own, because they still had to take the Rottingbane leaves regularly.

People around the bar, who were mostly the former warriors from the Blue Moon pack, cheered them on to fight more. It was such entertainment to watch them fight, since they didn’t have many things to amuse them ever since they fell under Alpha Cane’s thumb.

People in the Howling Wolf pack were so boring, they didn’t even know how to throw a proper party.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

All the people chanted to watch the two people fight.

But, their cheers stopped when Stone and Avid rushed into the bar and put a stop to the fight, as they dragged each of them away from one another.

The former warriors of the Blue Moon pack started booing at them for interrupting their entertainment, but soon stopped when Stone told them he would throw them all to the mountains if they really wanted to have some entertainment.

"Damn you, Redmond!" Avid grumbled, while dragging Redmond’s body out of the bar. "Why did you choose to get drunk now when the King will arrive in a few hours?! You have an important task to do, you know!"

Redmond had been acting weirdly, he had been spending his time at the main gates and avoided the pack house, even when Iris summoned him to come, he refused to go.

"I don’t want to be a father!" Redmond wailed drunkenly. "I don’t want a drooling creature!"

"Oh, shut up! Who wants to have a father like you?!" Avid didn’t know what happened that night, though he was also there when they went to the Moon Dew pack.

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

freёwebnoѵel.com Iris woke up when she felt someone shake her body lightly. She felt exhausted and wanted to sleep a little bit longer, but this person was so persistent to wake her up, thus she opened her eyes and found Cane sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her.

"Wake up, we need to greet the King," he said lightly after he saw her wake up.

Iris blinked her eyes, tried to gather her thoughts, but then her eyes opened so wide, she immediately sat down and grabbed Cane’s hand, as she shook her head.

"No! You can’t meet with the King, Jace and Haco came up with an idea..."

But, before she could finish, Cane said, "It’s okay now."

Iris blinked her eyes when he leaned over to kiss the tip of her nose. Her heart thumped wildly in her chest, as the realization hit her. The way he talked, the way he kissed her... she recognized it almost immediately.

On the other hand, Cane watched how tears trickled down from her blue eyes before she threw herself at him and almost knocked him off the bed. If he didn’t have a strong stance, they would be on the floor already. He held Iris tightly, since they were on the edge of the bed now and she could fall too, yet his mate didn’t care about any of that.

"I am sorry, I am really sorry. I am sorry, Cane... I didn’t mean to hurt you. I didn’t mean it. I swear..." she cried against the crook of his neck. Her messy hair covered his face and all Cane could see was her auburn hair, the color that had grown on him.

Because Iris wasn’t looking at him, he didn’t say anything and only hugged her close to him. He closed his eyes and breathed in her scent, as Iris kept apologizing.

He let her talk and didn’t interrupt her at all, until she finally calmed down and loosened her arms around his neck and Cane pulled back a little until he could see her face. Her eyes were puffy and the tip of her nose and her lips were so red, as she kept crying.

"None of this is your fault, I am the one who needs to apologize to you for putting you through that. It’s my fault for not noticing it sooner that you are in so much pain and I am really sorry." Cane wiped the tears that kept streaming down her cheeks.

Cane knew what Iris would face once they stepped foot in the Howling Wolf pack. Even Jace and Ethan had warned him, but he still thought Iris would be able to handle it all and the members of his pack wouldn’t be rude enough to her. As it turned out, he was so wrong.

Letting Sofia to stay in the pack was one thing, Cane didn’t do anything about it because it was in line with his plan, but to completely disregard Iris’

position as the Luna was a different thing.

He recognized his fault for putting so much attention and effort on outside forces, while he kind of neglected the issue related to the people close to him.

Just like how he didn’t think it was necessary to improve his people’s comprehensive skills by teaching them how to read and write, since he didn’t see that as something necessary. He was fine with the way they were, until Iris showed him the benefit of having his people having that ability, which made things easier. They got more information because of that too, since people thought nothing of them, thinking they were illiterate.

"I am really sorry, Iris." Cane grabbed her hands, kissing her knuckles solemnly and rested his forehead on the backs of her hands.

He knew his flaws and the pain they caused her and he felt sorry for that.

Iris rested her forehead on the back of his head, as she sobbed softly. The feeling of relief to get him back was something she couldn’t describe. She didn’t know that she had been holding back so much until she felt this.

However, the serenity inside the room was disturbed when Cane heard someone knock on the door and Ethan’s voice, talking to Jace, traveled inside.

"Should we enter? She will not be able to hear the knocking on the door," Ethan said.

"It’s not appropriate to enter, more so, the lycan will raise hell if we sneak inside," Jace replied.

"Gosh! Lu!" Ethan was shocked when the door was suddenly opened. "Is Iris awake? Can we talk to her?"

"What do you want to talk about with her?" Cane asked, his voice was slightly cold.

Hearing the question, Ethan and Jace sighed deeply. Here we go, the lycan only knew how to make things difficult.

"We just need to talk to her, okay?" Ethan said, feeling his patience run thin. "She will be so angry if you interrupt. Can you call her?" Ethan craned his neck to see inside.

"Shouldn’t you two be at the entrance gate to greet the King and his entourage? What are you doing here?" Cane asked lightly, but his voice was firm.

"Haven’t Iris told you yet? Lu, look..." Ethan wanted to explain, but Jace elbowed him. "What?" Ethan was irritated, yet Jace ignored him.

"Cane, is that you?" Jace asked hesitantly and Ethan immediately closed his mouth shut.

"It’s me." Cane nodded.

There was a moment of silence after that, before Ethan burst into laughter. He was so relieved, he didn’t know how to react properly.

"Heavens! What had Iris done to bring you back!? I really want to kiss her!"

"Pardon me?" Cane’s eyes turned cold.
