UNSETTLING

Her entire body was aching badly, Iris couldn't even describe what she felt right now, especially her heart. She felt angry, humiliated and helpless.

How could Cane be so cold and cruel toward her when he knew fully well she had nothing to do with her father?

Of all the people that were very grateful for what she had done, she wanted him to acknowledge that so badly. He even promised her that he wouldn't let her get hurt again.

But then, he was the first person to turn around and break that promise.

"Ssh… I will bring you to your room, okay." Jace gingerly scooped her body up after he covered her with his cloak.

Iris closed her eyes, but winced when he moved her. Even a single movement was so painful, though the beta had tried his best to move as gently as possible.

Helplessly, Iris rested her head against his chest, while tears kept streaming down her cheeks. She didn't have energy to open her eyes or tell Hanna that she was fine when she was not.
