Chapter 333: I NEED A SLEEP

"No way can I do that," Iris was freaking out. She didn’t know what Cane said before he pushed her in front of him, which caused all of their attention to be 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?"

Currently, they were inside their chamber and Cane could finally 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 helped Ethan suppress his 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 find the true perpetrator, who had given the order to the witch. Finding that would be able to give them more clues on the lycan, the cursed creature that had terrorized the capital city.

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

Not to mention Cane was targeted before as well, thus it must be the same person. Someone from the palace had targeted 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 was very convincing and credible, which left the King completely tongue 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 connections, created a believable story and led people to believe it.

Someone like the King, who knew better what the actual truth behind it was and that what Cane had said was utter bullshit, would have lost his mind because he couldn’t say otherwise, unless he wanted to direct people’s suspicion onto himself for refusing to cooperate with Cane’s theory.

Therefore, tomorrow, Iris would start to look for the magic stones that had been 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 before they saw the end result of it.

Those black magic stones must be the ones that Haco had created. There were eight of them and somehow, his men had managed to implant them around the palace, in the places Cane had instructed them to and now, Iris needed to find them.

"I will tell you the locations of those stones," Cane said simply, staring at his distressed 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 had to start looking for the stones.

"What if they don’t believe me? What if they notice I am only pretending to find those stones?"

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

Reading what Cane said, Iris really wanted to cry. That was not what she meant and it didn’t help alleviate her anxiety at all.

"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, thankfully, he could make the most out of it.

"What happened between you and the witch? How did you end up in that condition?" Iris rambled, she was so tense. 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 any of her questions, Cane beckoned her with his hand, to 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 in the crooke of her shoulder, taking the liberty to breathe 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 able to keep up with another conspiracy at this point.

Being held so tight like this, with Cane’s body literally glued to hers, 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, attended 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 upon seeing the Alpha and luna were sleeping, while holding onto each other. Cane’s nose was literally on her neck. "What the hell is wrong with the two of them... is she still drinking the Dragonheart?"

Ethan grimaced hearing Redmond’s comment on pregnancy, only a handful of people knew about the Alpha’s condition and definitely, Redmond wouldn’t be one of them. It was already a headache to let him learn that Cane was a lycan; the more secrets he knew, the more dangerous it would be for them, since he didn’t place his loyalty in 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 on the door for more than ten minutes. Remembering the events of the previous night, they thought something had happened to the two of them, because usually the Alpha would have woken up at the slightest commotion, since he was a light sleeper.

They were panicking, but then, when they went inside, the two of them were simply too comfortable with each other. It was a good thing their clothes were still in place.

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

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

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

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

"Yes, that’s what Cane said." King Aeon stared at his mistress.

"Interesting, I want to take a close look at that luna..."

"Your brother will arrive in two days."
