302: TIME LIMIT FOR DISCUSSION

TIME LIMIT FOR DISCUSSION

"You can wait in one of the rooms, while I take her back to our bedroom," Cane said lightly, as he put his arm around Iris's waist. 2

"Why she doesn't participate in our conversation? She is the luna of the pack, right? She must know about her pack too," Lou protested, he didn't take the pain to come here, while dragging that lazy ass white bear to amuse Iris, only to have one on one conversation with Cane again.

That was the most horrible conversation and dealt that he had ever done. He didn't wish to talk with Cane at all! He was no fun!

"She is sick. She still hasn't recovered" There, the classic excuse from Cane for his mate. He would like for Iris to join the conversation only if it was not Lou, since he disliked the way this man looked at his mate. He also had not yet forgotten about how the merchant brazenly asked for his time alone with Iris.

"She has recovered well, I don't see how can you say she is sick," Lou complained like a child, as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

However, for his utter disbelieve, Iris coughed lightly, as she snuggled closer toward her mate and this made the anger in Cane's eyes a little bit subsided.

Lou's jaw dropped when he heard that artificial cough, Iris didn't even try harder to make it more convincing. She was so wicked!

"I will take my mate to rest," Cane said politely, as he turned around with Iris close to him, while Lou was fuming, completely annoyed.

And yet, as if helping its master and showed its usefulness, Lil Thing came in time to annoy Cane back, to make it even with its master.

Lil Thing charged forward with its tongue stuck out, acting cute when it stopped in front of Iris, while the children chased after the creature.

"Take your pet away, it can harm the children." Cane glanced at Lou, as he spoke sternly.

"Oh, come on, alpha, you will not really think this fluffy bear will harm them, right? Lil Thing loves children, it will not harm even a fly," Lou responded dramatically, while the bear nuzzled Iris's hand, asking to be patted. "I think Lil Thing likes Iris. It knows beautiful thing."

What Lou said was meant to flatter Iris, but because she had her back against him, she wouldn't know what he was talking about, while the merchant completely forgot about that little detail.

However, he managed to irate the alpha.

Cane took out something from his pocket and watched how this creature tilted its head, interested with what he would take out and immediately acted cute with Cane when it saw the alpha took out a magic stone from his pocket.

Cane carried this stone because he needed this for Haco, since he didn't want to give the sorcerer too many of it.

A moment later, Cane threw the magic stone as far as he could and Lil Thing started speeding up toward the stone, while the children happily followed it, chirping happily.

Once again, Lou was flabbergasted. "Stupid Lil Thing," he grumbled in dissatisfaction. His pet betrayed him! He thought the creature came for his aid.

And now, the only thing he could see was watching Cane and Iris's back, as they walked away from him. He was pissed!

On their way to their bedroom, Iris tried to explained what happened with Lou earlier.

"… I did not intentionally meet with him," Iris said in the end of her explanation, as she watched Cane's expression, anxious if he would get the wrong idea. Cane had told her, she was not allowed to be close to Lou, but it was not her fault, because she was having an evening walk with Hanna and suddenly Lou appeared with Lil Thing.

Iris had tried to avoid him, but he insisted to talk with her, he was also very persistence to give her flower, in which she only accepted it because she wanted him to stop pestering her.

On the other hand, Cane listened to her in silent, which made Iris became even more nervous and in the end of her explanation, he only replied with one word.

"Okay."

That was it. Iris should have known, he wouldn't say anything much.

"Stay inside, I will ask someone to call Hanna over," Cane said, as he opened the door to their bedroom, holding it until Iris entered the room.

"Are you angry at me?" Iris suddenly blurted it out. She really wanted to know what was in his mind. Why he was so calm?

"No." Cane shook his head and caressed her cheek. "Let's have dinner together. I will be quick." Cane didn't wish to spend another second with Lou, thus he would like to end whatever conversation he would have with the merchant quickly.

Only then, Iris was smiling, she felt so giddy, as if there was butterfly inside her stomach, as she tiptoed and kissed his cheek. "Okay."

This time, it was Iris, who closed the door, she was too embarrassed with her impulsive act earlier, but she didn't regret it, though she wondered what kind of expression Cane had right now, because she was too nervous to see him.

On the other hand, Cane didn't show any change on his expression, as he was deep in thought and stayed behind the closed door for a little bit longer, before he turned around and walked away.

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

"He really tested my patience!" Lou grumbled, as he waited for almost an hour, as he paced back and forth in front of the fireplace, while Sabian kept quiet.

The poor servant didn't know what to say to his master when he was like this and especially when he was this pissed off, any words that came out of his lips would be wrong and incur his wrath.

"He said, he would have only walked his mate back to their bedroom, why it takes him forever?! Gaahhh!" Lou was frustrated.

But then, when the door was opened and Cane finally graced him with his presence, the anger expression on Lou's face disappeared in a matter of second, as he greeted the alpha with the brightest smile on his lips.

"Alpha Cane! Finally you are here, I am so worry something happened to you because you took so long," Lou said smoothly, there was no trace of embarrassment at all, as if he meant what he said.

On the other hand, Sabian could only sigh helplessly, he knew his master's antic very well.

"Come, sit, sit… so we can have a comfortable discussion." Lou acted as if he owned this place, yet instead of sitting on the sofa, Cane simply leaned his back against the wall.

"I can't stay for long, I have promised my mate to have dinner together, so we better start the discussion. What do you want to talk about regarding the magical device?"

It felt so familiar, as Cane had done this before. He made it sure there was time limit for their conversation.

If you have promised to have dinner with your mate, you should come earlier! Lou felt his head was going to explode.
