333: I NEED A SLEEP

I NEED A SLEEP

"No way I can do that," Iris was freaking out. She didn't know what Cane said when he put her in front of him, which caused all of their attention fixed on her, but she felt dreadful when she learned what Cane had offered to the king. "Cane, what if they can see through me and knew it's a sham?"2

Currently, they were inside their chamber and Cane finally could lay down with his mate close to him.

It took everything in him not to shift into his lycan form, it happened once in the past and somehow, he could suppress it, the same way he did it to Ethan and now, he was bone weary and the only thing he wanted was to sleep. He didn't think his mind could work properly at this point.

However, Iris was very anxious to stay still, she pulled her hair in frustration after she knew what Cane had planned.

In the garden, Cane had told the king that Iris could help them to find the true perpetrator, who had given an order to the witch, with this, it would be able to give them more clue about the lycan, the cursed creature that had terrorized the capital city.

Cane supported his statement based on the fact Iris could sense the magic stone and all the dark magic, would use magic stone as the media, more so, it happened before in the Howling Wolf pack.

Not to mention it had targeted Cane before, thus it must be the same person. Someone from the palace had targeted the the alpha from the Howling Wolf pack and this person had used dark magic to summon a lycan as well. The correlation between the events were very convincing and credible, which made the king was tongued tied.

If there was one more thing Cane was good at, it must be how great he could make the connection between all the coincidences that happened around them.

He made the connection, create a believable story and led people to believe it.

Someone like the king, who knew better the fact behind it and what Cane had said was an utter bullshit, would have lost his mind because he couldn't say otherwise, unless he wanted to put people's suspicion on him for rejecting to cooperate with Cane's theory.

Therefore, tomorrow, Iris would start to look for the magic stone that had infused with black magic. It was easy for Iris to put two and two together.

Ethan was right when he said, they wouldn't be able to see the whole picture of Cane's scheme, until they saw the end result of it.

Those black magic stone must be the one that Haco had created, which meant, there were eight of them and somehow, his men had managed to scatter it around the palace, in the places Cane had instructed them and now, Iris needed to find them.

"I will tell you the location of those stones," Cane said simply, staring at his distress mate. She looked like she was about to cry.

Meanwhile, the sun had risen so high and they only had a few hours before Iris started to look for the stones.

"What if they don't believe me? What if they knew I am only pretending to find those stone?"

"Do you want me not to tell you, so it will look more believable?"

Reading what Cane said, Iris really wanted to cry. That's not what she meant and it didn't help with her anxiety too.

"Cane, can't you tell me about your plan beforehand? What about the dead witch? Was that part of your plan?"

No, of course not. The witch and the dark wisp were hiccups in his plan, which thankfully, he could make the most out of it.

"What happened between you and the witch? How can you end up in that condition?" Iris rambled, she was so tensed. Cane had told her, he needed her help, but she thought, at the very least, he would let her know beforehand, so she could prepare herself.

However, instead of answering all of her question, Cane beckoned her with his hand, in which Iris clambered closer to him.

"I need a sleep, Iris." Cane pulled her into his arms and hugged her warm and soft body, as he buried his nose against the crooked of her shoulder, taking the liberty to breath in her scent.

And that was it, Cane needed his good sleep before he continued with his schemes, or else, he didn't think his mind would be up for another conspiracy at this point.

Being held so tight like this, with Cane's body literally glued to her, Iris didn't have any other choice, but to stay still. She knew she tended to ask so many questions whenever she was nervous and it didn't help Cane at all.

He just returned from a long journey, attending a meeting and almost got killed because of the king's scheme, thus all he needed right now was indeed a good sleep.

Slowly, Iris caressed his back to ease him to sleep.

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

"I wonder how she is not pregnant yet when they are sleeping like this…" Redmond clicked his tongue, folding his arms in front of his chest to see the alpha and luna were sleeping, while holding onto each other. Cane's nose was literally on her neck. "What the hell with the two of them… is she still drinking the Dragonheart?"

Ethan grimaced to hear Redmond's comment about pregnancy, only a handful people knew about the alpha's condition and definitely, Redmond wouldn't be one of them. it was already a headache for him to know that Cane was a lycan, more secret he knew, it would be dangerous for them, since he didn't place his loyalty on the alpha.

"I think both of you need to go out, I will wake them up," Hanna said, she ushered the two men, who started bickering again out of the room.

They came inside because neither Iris nor Cane responded when they had knocked the door for more than ten minutes. Remembered the previous event, they thought something had happened to the two of them, because usually the alpha would have woken up with the commotion, since he was a light sleeper.

They were panic, but then, when they went inside, the two of them simply too comfortable with each other. It was a good thing they still dressed up.

"Missy, wake up… you need to wake up now, almost all the people have been waiting for the two of you." Hanna shook Iris's body, because she didn't dare to wake the alpha up.

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

"Dark wisp? And she knows how to sense the black magic stone?" Cyan narrowed her eyes, she was currently inside Osana's bedroom, while the king stood next to the bed, stared at his sister's predicament. "How so?"

From the information they had gotten, they knew Iris could sense the magic stone, but black magic inside the magic stone? Who could do that? Even the dark magic user like Cyan couldn't do it.

"Yes, that's what Cane said." king Aeon stared at his mistress.

"Interesting, I want to see that luna closely…"

"Your brother will arrive in two days."
